Without You


Stand I here

Achieved
What I set out to achieve
Here I am, triumphant
At the peak
Here I am, alone
At the peak.

Without you
My success, my position
Is just empty imagination.
Without you
My emptiness, my isolation
Is my only real confrontation.
Without you.

You, were my hope
My dream, My despair
Without you
I have nothing but regret
My hopes dashed.
My dreams scattered.
My despair resonated.

Words can't do justice
To the pain
That I feel inside
'Why?' I ask myself
Do I still think of you?
Rhetorical question
For I know
There's no me without you
For I know
There's no you without me too!


now there's a story behind this, dnt worry it ain't no my story! a friend of mine asked me to compose a poem for him for his girl with a given situation... i gave him back after three days. he asked me how much time did i take on writing the verses i said 10 minutes he exclaimed "only?" i replied "i spent three days preparing for it!" 

p.s. he has liked it and will shortly be presented to his friend.. m looking frwd to knw if my lines can win a heart!

As I read in other comments, your words could easily be put to lyrics. We probably can imagine our own melodies, and our lives add the notes to the harmony.

:) this is really a nice poem.. I can't compose a poem if I am given a situation with the proper feel.. unless and until I relate with it .. if you do not relate either and still managed to pen it .. its quite incredible.

Natural said...

it's a beautful love poem to me. great work. 10 minutes, that probably would have taken me days. sometimes we put so much into our writings when really the simpliest sayings will do.

@aria

i do agree with you.. bt think in that case all the actors though inacting a fictional character are sort of faking themselves too..

the poets who write poetry abt sum historical events or sum historical figure present their own view regarding the events and the person..

i related to the person's agony and dissapointment and present my own view regarding his state of mind..

Parv Kaushik said...

@natural

i agree with you... and poetry jst happens to me and in a flow everythng happens and a song is composed!
