My heart was as closed
As a forgotten old box in the attic
Denying every relation
Denying every bond
That was my habit
Then you came
To force me out of the attic
You begged me to see the sunshine
You hold me till the Moon light
I kept telling you
It won’t work, it’s not meant to stay
Your teary eyes stared right into my heart
“I will walk away from you, if you want me too”
Holding my hand you said.
But weak as I was
Vulnerable as I was
Enjoying the heat of the sunshine
Enjoying the warmth of the moonlight
I hold on to you to enjoy my new sight
Now too scared to go back to the attic
To go back to the endless moonless night
Then it happened
Something I always feared
Your hold loosened
As began the story of my tears
My hand that you hold with such passion
Suddenly became burden to you
Now you compare me to the world
And you started looking for something new
I was so use to of this sunshine
I was in love with our moonlight
But I won’t beg you to stay
B’ coz in your life I have no say!
You took the box out
You make me open it for the world and you
I use to treat my heart like a box
Now the world treats it like that too!!
