Delusion

Who can tell
Why this has happened to me
Why I am lying on a bed of lie
Why there r shadows around
Whimsical and scattered
Why I am melting in a vase
Why I can't hold a hand for longer
I was here after and after
Even after the death of my soul
Outside
it is summer
It is rain
It is winter
It is spring
Flowers are blooming for me
I can hear them blooming
I can smell them
From my grave
I started too early
I walked long way down the streets in this very city
The lies chased me first then I chased them
When I was joyful
When I was numb
When I was loved and even
when I was dumped
Into my grave into this city
I was working on my desk
My breaths were stuck up in my throat
I was running to home
Yes I couldn't hold my tears
When I reached home I screamed in the shower
It's my tiny little story in this beloved city
Out there
It was party
It was me I saw
Playing and singing a song
I saw
People traffic lights puzzles
In between
I just wanted to sing a song that says "I love you"
