a whole lot of nothing

Good Morning love!

We are talking after a long time
It was yesterday morning we last spoke..
And at times when you are asking me
Simply the reply comes up nothing more,
Just a simple single word ‘Nothing!
I was nothing!
I felt like nothing. Less than...
When love gave so much of warmth to heart in a way
It was the same love which was liable to tear me apart from inside
Don’t know how I took one step forward and two steps back same time
I was there where I started
It all began here, slowly
I crumble a bed sheet with little tight fist
I want to sit down calm, next to you
And tell you, ‘I’m trying, really am...’
But I don’t say that.
Don’t even know why?
I choose to say ‘nothing’ in fact!
I hope you do everything just the way you are expected to do
I desire you act every time just that fair you are suppose to
You did see my eyes would never lie!
Only want to let you know that I care, really do..
I want you not to worry or hurry
I want to share in your happiness
I wish you to be happy always, but sometimes...
I just don’t know how..!
