Suppression


If once in a while you get shattered by epiphany,

Do not let your eyes express emotions,

That I cannot deny.

Do not allow your lips utter words,

That I cannot refuse.

Restrict your hands from holding mine

So that I do not topple from the peak,

Once you leave

Stop the stream of lyrics that you sing

So that I do not get drowned.

Keep the warmth of your love and care veiled

So that my heart does not melt for you.

Breakthrough all the walls

Only if you find your most desired peace in me.

Only if you strive to stay by my side forever.
