Struggle hard

Friday,17th August 2018

 

It is always you

who troubles me through

the sleepless nights

and makes me tight with fear

 

the night seems to be scary

I feared it at night daily

you were as if intruding in my personal domain

making me restless even

 

even the slight sound makes me impatient

as if you are knocking the window at present

I run toward but find only my shadow

I try to hold good composure anyhow

 

You are always in my mind

and I find

the nights more troublesome

still show no sign of fatigue and welcome

 

In a company, the nights prove to be enjoyable

in your absence, they trouble

I struggle hard to brush your memory aside

but, I am unable to decide
