I am still the same...

I am still the same,
Looking for a reason,
Bit crude, a bit inane,
Bitten by treason,

Acting lame,
Making the same mistakes,
Hard to tame,
Blind to what the world fakes,

Caught in the same memoirs,
Looking for a way back,
As if my mind never tires
Is it just you who I lack?

In love I am still naïve,
I couldn’t learn,
Maybe that’s why I still crave,
And my eyes burn,

Never blinking,
Waiting for you,
Heart’s sinking,
Having no clue,

If you even remember,
Of the times I cherish,
What you did render,
Or was I just too mulish,

But still I gave so much,
More than I could,
Waiting for that pristine touch,
I thought you would,

But it has been so many days,
You didn’t even look back,
Were we just about the frays?
It’s more than love that we lack,

I wonder why you don’t see that I still the same,
As I was when we first met,
You have just stopped looking beyond the pane,
In callousness you have become deft…

May God Bless You
Love One Love All
