You don't feel something till you feel it.


How can you sit there

With your head,

Hidden in your hands?

While you poured out the endless of seas

On to me

As if I were here to drain it. 


Has my presence 

Coaxed your body now?

Does my voice make you

Look out? 

In to a tall, thick, yet empty crowd

Do you miss me now?

Have you thought about it yet?


How will you do now

Knowing i’m not puddy

In your hands?

You denied me all along the way here

You don’t get to choose me now.

The comfort, the care 

I would’ve given you for a lifetime

Now sits in despair. 

With no comfort or care


Do I look like a mirror now? 


(so I’ll deny,

For the sake of you and I)

(i’ll deny, I’ll deny

For you and i)


You’re sitting there with your watering eyes

As they read out the proof, 

And the replies.

You don’t anything to say to me,

But you did to the press

telling how I was a daydream

The golden hour in your stories

And now I’m the nightmare that keeps you up

The crazy in the story.


Have I made you sweat yet?

How will you overcome this?


How will you do now

Knowing i’m not puddy

In your hands?

You denied me all along the way here

You don’t get to choose me now.

The comfort, the care 

I would’ve given you for a lifetime

Now sits in despair. 

With no comfort or care


Do I remind you of yourself yet? 


(so I’ll deny, I’ll deny

For the sake of you and I)

(i’ll deny, I’ll deny

For you and i)


And we both know it’s not fair

How we both are playing the same game

Going back and forth 

Between us,

And neither of us wins

And we’ll yell and fight and scream again

You’ll say how it was my fault 

And I’ll throw something

But we knew,

Neither of us was right.


So I’ll deny, I’ll deny

That there was nothing wrong

Between you and i

I’ll deny, I’ll deny

That we were both right.

This was written for a story, but I like it too much to keep it to myself.
