EXTREMES OF LOVE
we always shared extremes
your soulfulness made me better
your negativity left me shattered
you brightened my life
you left me gloomy and forlorn
no one influences me as you do
you walked away one day
leaving my love-intoxicated heart
the lush green valley turned into desert
tried watering my deserted heart
planting saplings of love, alas nothing germinated
it seems it has given up hope of blossoming again
or may be fearful of consequences
what if the seed of love turned into tree
only to be uprooted
it seems my heart has lost its soul
or maybe it still waits for you
only heart can be such an optimist
