False Promises

 
Your shadow has lived in my eyes for so long!
Lost in thoughts of you, how absently
I press my lips to your photograph with tender longing!
Seeing all this, night walks by with a quiet smile.


I am that girl
who was told
that on the first night
someone would take my heart—all of it, completely!


We are all travelers!
We all share the same fate!
Here I am, alone in this world!
And there I see him, alone in that sky!
