When Nobody Loves Me

When nobody loves me

I simply cry and weep

I feel mighty tired

But I can’t fall asleep

When nobody loves me

I feel insecure

To banish all my thoughts

Is there any cure?

When nobody loves me

There’s just Me and I

Myself then joins the glumness

We decide to die

When nobody loves me

All the meaning’s lost

Death sends an invite

For a petty cost

When nobody loves me

I tie myself a noose

I am just a step away

From all pain and abuse

When nobody loves me

I just close my eyes

Say my final prayers and

Think of all the lies

Think about the fairytales

Eros and happy endings

That all the emotions are

Merely someone’s lendings

That love is a giant pie

And each will get a bite

Some may get a large chunk

Others will get a slight

The idea makes me laugh

To see everyone so starved

That’s how the world was formed

But not how I was carved

When nobody loves me

I stop giving a care

Unbothered with anyone

Anytime, anywhere

When nobody loves me

I don’t listen to what they say

This world may not be for me

But I am here to stay

When nobody loves me

Unbound by their chains

I love myself a little

That love ever remains

A Great Alliance

The concept of friendship has been overused

Tales of great alliance just leave me bemused

I only ever had myself from end to end

That is all I ever needed for a friend

A Poem Is Not A Reflection

A poem is not a reflection

Of the poet or his thinking

The poet, while, is a shadow

Of the poem that he’s drinking

He is merely a medium

Between the poem and the page

To flung the doors wide open

Of the concealed cage
