]]> I miss those days when I loved being alone,
Away from the chaos, away from the rush,
Living with the serenity of my soul.
But now, I am scared to be alone.
My company isn’t jovial anymore.
For it keeps giving me reminiscences.
Indulging in old memoirs is my habit now.
It has snatched away the peace of my mind,
The serenity of my soul.
I am engulfed badly by my past.
O, I miss those days when I loved being alone!
That was not how being alone felt.
When you have it all, you still lack something.
When you want to flee away, you are held back by demons in your head.
When you are tired of the mayhem within.
When you want to be heard, you are left alone in your solitude.
When you are in the phase of making a choice, choose one and lose the other.
That is when you are lonely.
That is when you start hating being alone.
That is when melancholy takes over every cluster of happiness.
That is when you are me.

In the dark,
Away from the light.
As, in my solitude
I feel alright.

Here am I again tonight.
Lost in thoughts,
Which give no delight.
It agitates my soul,
As memories of broken promises
Flash back.
So, here am I again tonight.
In the dark,
Away from the light.
As, in my solitude
I feel alright.
I tremble,
As I look at those sights
But my solitude holds me tight.
Assuring me,
It’s not reality.
And then,
Do I fake a smile,
Pondering for awhile.
As the night darkens,
I see a flawless world.
It is the silence
That heals up shattered hopes.
And here am I engrossed in my solitude,
Like the moon,
Alone amidst the stars.
The swift breeze
Enlightens my spirit.
The tears wash away
The scars engraved
On my heart.
So here am I again tonight
Lonely in the midnight.
