The One Chapter

On a fine sunny day,
A moment took place
A moment, and I was never again the same
When the eyes locked,
The intensity
Thriving shivers
Words ceased
Heart quivered
Revealing, I could not
The moment fled by
I stayed
Darkness is my light
I only live in the shades
Years passed by
Heart, never, unchanged
From the moment I laid my eyes
On that smile
The moment I trembled
The moment I lost sense of I
A decade has been over
Yet I recall
Enduring all the pain
Of that one flashback
I could have stayed
Fear overwhelmed
The night slipped away
Feet on the ground
Steadiness fled
Hardly Spoke one line
Aligned with your back
Stood still, as I left
Countless
were the rivers
I have shed
A pattern, I recalled
Instantly, I was gone
Rhetorically
Had I stayed
Wouldn’t this had gone astray?
Ironically
Today
The right words
I erased
Fear is my fellow
Taught to live in the shadows
Unraveled state
A memory to you
Is my daily battle
The one genuine truth
I couldn’t risk waiting for to happen
If I speak few lines
A very short rhyme
Will you even believe
Or blame it on the wilderness
Of my untamed sides
For that I have buried myself in lies
Till my eyes fell on the same sight,
PS: I have tried
Concealing the aching truth, disguised
Wiped off the chronic hopes
Denied
Chances of rejoice
The one chapter of my life
I have lost
Before writing
That headline
I just could not
Never, will I.
