~~~ Metamorphosis ~~~

I remember,

I remember well, the day-

You had drunk, fought with me for nothing 

and bashed me blue and black...

You watched you pack and fade away,

behind the lingering dusk of the mountains.

I wanted you to show me,

the stretching end of the valley,

you said the clouds and the rains meet.

But, you didn’t hear me, 

calling, calling your name,

until you left that hazy frame–

and the night came.

I watched you running, 

bare-feet, under the light rain,

until, on the sticky dusts of the Earth,

only, my silver ankle chain remained.

You stared into the sky before stars hide,

You didn’t see me falling so behind.

I wanted you to stop me.

But never, never, could I ask…

Coz, I knew that you would never...

You know? 

You once told me, "You are so beautiful..."

But now, when I looked back...

It was not the same you...

The gods themselves are helpless against them while they stand so.....!!
