Hey Offender

By Anwesh Ghosh

Hey offender!

Would you surrender yourself before me? You stole my heart and my soul,

Half of which was with you already.

You cheated me with your lies,

Said you don't love me enough,

But you became my moon in the night sky.

Hey offender!

You intimidated me with your smile.

I watched you in my dreams;

You were in my arms all the while.

You said I belonged elsewhere,

But you abducted me in your dreams;

Kept me with you and I was the happiest there.

Hey offender!

You confined me to your eyes.

I prefer going nowhere else,

As you became my life.

You became my soulmate;

You share my emotions.

Let's always stay by each other,

To have a life's journey in this never-ending ocean.

Hey offender!

You've committed many crimes,

You've been convicted;

And sentenced to a forever-home in my life.
