Under the same roof



We lived under the same roof
I remained aloof

Strange feelings
Strung by feeling of uneasiness

We shared everything
Somewhere vacuum was lingering

My company was my thoughts
But nothing was my part

Solitude pains
Silently listening to soothing music sadness vanes

A fraction of second my heart thumped
A shadow hovered

I turned to see whom it was
In a moment the estranged feelings turned tables

I closed my eyes
Heard a sweet voice

Opened my eyes
Feelings freezed like ice

Wide gap existed
Wondered and pondered

How to patch
Humming the tune of love to match

Under the same roof
I remained aloof
