My Heart Was Set

I saw you standing by the river.
I saw your hair was wet.
I bid my legs to walk away.
But my heart, my heart was set.

All I wanted was a look at you.
All I wanted was to touch your hair.
After all those nights you'd kept me awake,
This little liberty, it only seemed fair.

But, for you, I was a monster.
For you, I'd always been one.
Scared that I'd come to ravage you,
Gathering all you had, you started to run.

And I ran after you,
I called out your name.
You didn't even turn to look at me.
And you ran, you ran all the same.

It was then I wish I had stopped,
It was then I wish I'd taken a breath.
'Coz I don't remember what happened afterwards.
I do not know how I caused your death.

Gun in my hand, tears in my eyes,
Blood on your body thin.
That's when I saw my love dying,
And that's when I died within.

i left facebook because i honestly was really bugged with it.
but i shall join the infernal site again , because a lot of my really good friends are passing out and they arnt even bloggers.
so facebook, shall see the likes of me in june again.

i like reading things - even if they are not that great , read everything by everyone else dont i ? you right much better than a lot of crap siddhant and anant have written.

you could email me , if you wanted to keep in touch - dont give sad excuses. since when has facebook become ones fucking identity huh ??

how goes your iit education ? suicidal yet ?

rohu is comingback on 30th may - and he will be there till end of june , are u in lko on ur birthday ? i wont be there , but we could all celebrate it together , once i am back - not counting pranjal , because , he wont be back before 18th or 19th june.

anyway - who are you writing these poems about ??
you do know , that i know , thatanything nyone writes, does reverberate with his own person somewhere right ?

p.s. are you dating that girl we all think you are dating ?
if you are, i am happy for you , but if you arnt - then im happier for you :))
p.p.s. i am supportive and mature. yes i am .

This is good ... I like the clean rhyming ..... and the emo idea :p .. :p ... definitely more mature poetry writing than the last one you wrote .. still the flow is not very smooth .. but I understand the emotions and ideas .. that is what is more important ... kudos ..

hum summer mein poetry ka class le rahe hain aur 'works of bob dylan ka class' ... kuchh important bataayega poetry ke baare mein to bataaoonga ...
