Where My Heart Resides

Waking up in the middle of the night

to find no one around

attacked by a sudden feeling,

feeling of hollowness all around.

To find that moon shining,

Shining all alone

and it’s called an epitome of love

then why you standing alone.

And you make me all the more sad

I feel your loneliness in me

and then there is no end to it

only a continuous process of waiting endlessly

Sometimes caress my own curls

rub my eyes to see an empty bed.

Changing sides all night

praying it's not my end

Looking at those lines on my palm

with wide moist tearful eyes

and pray I become a stone heart

Or meet the heart where my love resides.
