I sit on the porch Waiting to see your face Counting the minutes And watching the strangers pass by For a minute I think I saw you But no, it was not you. All fully clad up and neat My sari neatly folded Into pleats with strands of flower that adorn my dark hair with kohl-lined eyes that’s all for you I sit there all alone Waiting for you. I see you in the distance My heart jumps with joy As you draw near There is no smile And that gives me a fear You reach me and look at my dress and your words Hit me like thunder “Whom are you trying to impress?” I sit all alone Once again My emotions are all running in circles thinking what should I do your words always causing me pain and regret which I am not able to forget I wish I could just push these feelings off out of my way I’ve tried and tried to do this But the more and more I try I just realize how hard it is. Those never-ending promises Ring in my ear All carried away forever As if by thin air With bitter accusations deluded perceptions YOU crushed it all And it’s all gone forever! I leave you alone To make you realize what’s your fame Yet you sit there In my mind and spirit Making me cry when I hear your name!
