THE LONELY SOULS !!

I’m a lonely soul ,

Awed by the vastness of the sky .

I look up once again and think ,

How lonely must it be , for there’s not a single soul up there high .

The twinkling stars and the shining moon , were by its side

Adding to its beauty , a shine to its loneliness

A child who once was crying , looks up & silences

It maybe brought the child in a state of happiness

He chuckles , looking at the shining moon in the dark sky

It may have appeared beautiful to him , it was ….

It was beautiful , a beautiful lie .

Just like me , it too was a beautiful lie

Beautiful with a shine and twinkle that was not it’s

Lonely yet beautiful .

Glowing in the presence of others .

Consumed by the darkness ;

Swallowed by the loneliness ;

Away from happiness ;

With an unending hollowness ;

Yet glowing with a shine and twinkle that wasn’t it’s .

It had a shining moon ,

A glowing sun & many twinkling stars ,

Yet was lonely ,

Just like me .

What it wanted to ease its loneliness ?

What I wanted to ease mine ?

Did it really want a companion , just like I did ?

A companion for what it was ,

Not for the shining moon or the twinkling stars .

Just like I needed , A companion for what I was ,

Not for what I had .

Did it really crave for love , just like I did ?

To be loved for what it was ,

Dark , night sky with an unending hollowness .

Not for what it appeared to be ,

A starry night , shining and glowing (in the presence of others )

Just like I needed , To be loved for what I was ,

Kind , sweet , humble & hearty .

Not what I pretended to be ,

Arrogant , rude , badass & a heartless bully .

It was lonely ,

So was I .

We could have been a hurting truth ,

Rather than a beautiful lie .

But,

Can I be lonely anymore ?

Can it be lonely anymore ?

With a lonely companion by our side ?

It’ll have me and I’ll have it .

I can talk with it to ease its loneliness .

It can walk with me to ease mine .

We won’t be lonely anymore ….

We won’t be lonely anymore ….
