Reading a book
Monotony scored over me
Melancholy feelings pleated
I read a book which shook
Story of girl who imagines a guy
Every second she remembers the imaginary guy
Excitement scrolls yearning for the guy
Distraction slowly dips her focus
Daunted and firing turned like a norm
Living in illusory world
Left her in delusion
Her friends comes to her rescue
Heading her for a treatment
Like a frozen ice the real truth deep down her heart
After revealing she crumbled like a pack of cards
Her lover was battered to death
The scene remains fresh which shook her veins even now
The wound hasnt healed
She wanted to reveal her love
Her love remained as illusion for ever
Death embraced him
Her love got buried
