your jubilant shouts of laughter

that echoed through the walls

over the silliest jokes cracked by me,

enlightened my soul in the way,

fireworks light up the  night sky,

but somehow my crippled heart refused to see.

because I could still see the broken heart pieces lying scattered

in the course of putting them together

an unbearable pain was endured by me

because I am not under the cover of any divine blessing

not to see clearly, that the sun is setting

far beyond the fields,where the sky meets the sea..

the novelty of the fireworks is wearing away,

I count the innumerable number of nights I stay awake

only, once in a while hindered by,  

a sudden chill running down my nerves, making me numb,

gulping down my dribble,

that sticks in my throat like a big sugar lump.

followed by a sudden rush of emptiness,

drops of tears trickle down,

 my cheeks with unrivalled hastiness.

and thats when I recollect, there are, no strings attached...
