they loved her…
cared for her…
she hurt when they hurt
she cried their tears
she smiled through their joys
she painted their lifewith a rainbow of colors
she felt it all
she saw it all
she sensed it all
but she did not speak
she held her thoughts
she held her dreams
she reined her words
when they would peep
from her tightly clamped lips
she felt it rude
to intrude
on their space
she never asked
she never probed
all she did
with eyes closedwas say a prayer
and hearwhenever they called to share
she missed the banter
and the gossip
she missed happenings
she skipped events
she thought it wouldbe enough
to love
love unconditionally…
but the truth was bitter
they wanted her to speak
to probe, to ask
to share to care
to say all of this
and more
to bare it all
till it hurt
to rip off the shackles
say all that was withheld
true love, they said
cannot be detached
if you love
you have to show
to say..
to share..
to speak
But I do speak, she thought…
I do share,
I do show I care…
have you not read my eyes…
have you not heard my heart beat…
have you missed the gleam
and the sheenon my face…
when I see you?
in this world so full of noise
I thought it better to love otherwise
a silent love of acceptance
of a long wait…
a wait for you to come to me
because…I have always been here
Detached is but a perception…
reflections of each other
is what we are…
complete souls
completing each other
with our completeness
I am as detached
as the reflection in the mirror…
that does not smile back at you…
