- Every time the phone rang I thought
The screen would flash your name
But another birthday came to an end
Without your phone call and wishes
2. I will propose to her tonight I thought
“I’m beating faster”, my heart pounded
My mind warned, “It’s a risky move.”
“I would not let that happen easily”, smirked the phone battery
3. She gave up on her
She gave up on her
As friendship broke up
Ego smiled at its victory
4. She finally started believing in forever
As the doctor declared
She won’t be able to walk again
5. If only it had been you
I would give up everything else
But promise me you won’t bulk me out
My dearest love…my chocolate
6. Returning home late at night
But being welcomed with a warm hug
It never behaved snobbish
As it always happily wagged its tail
7. His life line was longer than mine
But now I don’t believe in this astrology
As he lies on his deathbed before me
8. As the scars and burns
Would heal with time
Her bloodshot eyes and
Swelled up face
Would never vanish
9. Today the burnt roti also tasted heavenly
“This is so yummy I could go on eating”
“Thank you daddy”, came the reply
10. As I went to buy my jogging suit
The restaurant beside the shop let its aroma out
As I got carried away with its food
Again began the same old story
