Why it seems your smile conceals a pain within...
Same lips which were once epitome of innocence
Now fumble while kissing the words
Can I touch your soul and get you to peace?
Why it seems your eyes are at a threshold of tears
Same eyes which glinted like a sparkle in the morning sun
Now hope-clad seem to be searching for something or someone
Can I kiss them & make you re-believe in all the dreams you had?
Why it seems you have become so detached now
Same person who will jump at every little thing
Now just stares blankly, unable to feel any joy or pain
Can I shake you from your slumber & run with you in the winds?
Why it seems you keep your palms hidden from the world
Same palms with which you covered your lips in laughter & eyes in pain
& which would merrily join to clap at every little joy & jubilation
Can I titillate you to make you laugh from your heart again?
Why it seems you don’t feel like walking anymore
Don’t you remember the times when you loved sauntering in sunshine & rain
& waved your arms in full circle with a smile to last every day
Can I match your steps to make you experience little joys of life again?
Why it seems it has been ages since you spoke
Same person who would not stop blabbering for a moment
All the time pretending it’s the most grandiose worldly-wise talk
Can I listen to your magical words & tease you at your endless rant?
Why it seems you have lost faith in yourself & the world
Same faith through which you kept mediocrity at bay
In a dead world with dead faces, you were always born to be sublime
Can I help you become more sublime every day?
Same lips which were once epitome of innocence
Now fumble while kissing the words
Can I touch your soul and get you to peace?
Why it seems your eyes are at a threshold of tears
Same eyes which glinted like a sparkle in the morning sun
Now hope-clad seem to be searching for something or someone
Can I kiss them & make you re-believe in all the dreams you had?
Why it seems you have become so detached now
Same person who will jump at every little thing
Now just stares blankly, unable to feel any joy or pain
Can I shake you from your slumber & run with you in the winds?
Why it seems you keep your palms hidden from the world
Same palms with which you covered your lips in laughter & eyes in pain
& which would merrily join to clap at every little joy & jubilation
Can I titillate you to make you laugh from your heart again?
