The Alley

Its dark out there
In that alley of yours,
Which serves as a time saver
To your destination.

In spite of my denials,
I know you will take it;
For you are brave
And courageous enough
To deal with whatever
Comes in your way.

You take the path
And emerge as well
Safe & sound.
But lo!
You have changed.
You seem to be altogether
A different person now.
And, if you ask me
Who is better?
Honestly, I don't know
But all I can say is
I am sorry,
For I am unable
To love you,
Anymore.

What seems like an eternity

Let the lights dim out
And the candles blow off.
Let's sit in the dark today
Staring out at each other.
Let the vision pierce through the darkness
And the silence fill in our ears,
As a strange calmness spread around;
While time just seems to stop
For what seems like an eternity.
