Endless Fight

In middle of the night

I wake up in fright 

Startling in my bed

My palms turning red 

Then I exhale, a poignant sigh 

It’s the moment, my heart doesn’t lie

I silently turn towards the clock

The round structure, too busy in ticking-tock

Surrendering to the storm moving beneath my skin

I let my long suppressed desires win 

Tiptoeing like a thief, I break down into my own closet

Digging down for the abandoned box, I often try to forget

As I touch it, my heartbeat grows wild

Freezing my whole body in a jiffy, turning my heart all mild

I close my eyes before opening the box 

Charmed by your reminiscences, I give up to my heart's playful hoax

Shedding tears all night over the picture you are smiling in

Sleep hits my swollen eyelashes and in the picture, you still grin 

Rising up the next morning, I pretend to be unaware of whatever happened last night 

I am not sure when will I get over with this endless fight!
