That Little Face

How you try to fade,
that one little face,
and so you start a chase,
for a new one to replace.

Initially it works,
but in shadows the old one lurks,
and on one fine day,
keeping your assurances at bay;

it breaks those chains,
that little face comes again.
To look into your eyes,
and to ask the question why.

All you're able to say,
how agitated you stay;
'cause you're not mine,
so you had to draw a line.

But is that enough,
or, you just being tough?
Will you ever forget that face?
And you ask, to yourself...!

  1. Inspired by the Kailash Kher Song, isnt it?? But, never the less, simple, straight and true, something any one would connect to.

  2. Nope...the above depicts actual events :P Although the rhythm of this one is inspired by one of Regina's songs(was actually trying to fit this onto the beats of that song).

    And you ask, to yourself..!
    To be, or not to be: that is the question:
    Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
    The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
    Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
    And by opposing end them? To die: to sleep;
    :)

  5. hmm...kya bol raha hai? That after, "And you ask, to yourself..!", these lines come to mind, or, that my line is taken from these lines?

    Anyways, I was just trying to rhyme, and this one took the least of my time(...yeh bhi rhyme ho gaya :P). Thanx to Reg's song, which I was trying to rhyme...everything (from the inception of the idea to the final posting)got over in 40-45 minutes.

    And, thanku...I wasn't expecting this much from you :P
