My Enigma
What you鈥檙e or have been through, I may never be able to measure,
But I see your threshold of pain expands than the cornfields
You may not know but sometimes you appear heartless
Many other times, you鈥檙e just meek and sweet
You draw close, hold the hand and then push back so hard
You beckon but then you ask for nothing at all
You have become the desirable north wind that blows away
And yet turns everything in a whirlwind to itself
Sorry I can鈥檛 feel your pains but you don鈥檛 let me see them too
I wish to know what makes your heart pine, what you truly desire
I wish to hear what your heart says and not your mouth, eyes or smile
I have closed the doors of passion and opened the windows of affection
And that for your own good, mine and our sanity too
If my affection doesn鈥檛 extend to you then what is my gain?
You helped me find my peace in the weirdest way there can be.
How do I forget an enigma like you when even in my dreams you live?
I do not seek your love because you don鈥檛 have much to give.
But I cannot stop what I feel or does it cost a thing to be loved?
The one who is loved truly is the luckiest one.
I鈥檓 celibate now and wish to live for world peace
But I鈥檓 in love with an enigma.
And that鈥檚 just all that there is to it.
