Mi Amor

By Ranya Prasad

I don't feel like starting a war

Not when you'd be on the other side

Not when its you beyond the bounds of us

Just because,

I’d give up all the battles

Leave the battlefield if I could

Just to watch your eyes flutter besides mine You mean

More than the words are capapble of describing.

I can deny it as much as I want to,

I can run away and forget all that I feel

By finding a nook by the bridge

And observing the adventure of others

I can ignore the fire as long as I could

But the fact remains the same

You'll always be my world,

A picture of you would be everpresent in the shadows of my eyes Along with the glint of your fatal love.

Mi amore,

My heart will beat till you are on my side.

Yet now I have reached a point when

I just want to walk away

Walk away from you

I am not disappointed, And neither am I sad

I just feel dead and tired.

And I feel like I tried,

I tried enough and put much effort Much more than needed.

Now I believe it was all in vain

I realised that needs to stop,

Even if I have to lay on the firey bridge we walked on

And I can't do this anymore,

I can't put in all the effort

I can't let me down while I wait for you.

Even if no effort means losing you

I'd have to accept the reality,

The reality of ashes of our love all around me,

But at the end, I'll find me
