A Friend In Dark
You come to me at night
When the world outside was dreaming
Too buried in yearnings
Only you could hear me screaming
Embellished in a black robe
Perhaps a shadow or a mist
My long gaze travelled up to your face
You smiled like a dearest friend
I crawled out of my bed.
Slowly lurking towards you.
Raising my hand as if
I could finally touch you.
You burnt my heart as you passed through me
With an icy coldness
Like snow falling
In an utter hotness
You visit me like an unbidden guest
Hiding invisible like it was your favourite game
I asked why can’t they #see you
You said you’re only my friend
My mind felt like it was on fire
I cried cause you were another liar
Like every cage opened in my head
Voices so loud, I couldn’t comprehend
You passed me a sympathetic smile
My dear, it is a forever trial
Are you a ghost of my past?
Am I crazy? I finally asked
You snickered as you spoke so coldly
“Not crazy; just so lonely#
