Conflicting emotions

Why is it so difficult for me
To say those words
It reaches my lips
But I suppress it within

Why was it so easy for you
Why is it so aching for me
Is it really love
Or my maternal instinct
That I care for you
I feel your fortuitous presence
I miss you, in your silence

You are a dream
That cannot be true
For I wasn't even waiting for you

What took you so long
I don't have any lyrics
To compose another song

Why are you creating moments
For I know
You will leave eventually
Just like others

A pang of sadness seeps in
As I realise
We were never meant to be
Even though we share baffling similarities

Both being tied by individual threads of matrimony
All we can have is, companionship

How long
I don't wish to know
For I am broken and disillusioned
Already

It will hurt
To let you go
It will hurt further
If we continue

At times, I wish to withdraw into my solitude
But you have already opened
The window of hope.
