Abeyance

Long day, strange faces
lost in the crowd, yet you were with me
People smiling
I sigh – hoping, no one is there to see
Thundering, dancing
clouds ask for courage
I bow, telling them its not to be
I wish- hoping, no one is there to see
The rain lashed on, soaking
The sky is crying, angry
They know, I was wrong
I wince - hoping, no one is there to see
Walking home, I hear a footstep
You are around, I feel inside
Miles way, still you touch me
I smile a tear away - hoping, no one is there to see
I the dark, I find peace
I can’t, but you hold on to me
To say it all, I kept silent
I will try again - hoping, you are here to see
lost in the crowd, yet you were with me
People smiling
I sigh – hoping, no one is there to see
Thundering, dancing
clouds ask for courage
I bow, telling them its not to be
I wish- hoping, no one is there to see
The rain lashed on, soaking
The sky is crying, angry
They know, I was wrong
I wince - hoping, no one is there to see
Walking home, I hear a footstep
You are around, I feel inside
Miles way, still you touch me
I smile a tear away - hoping, no one is there to see
I the dark, I find peace
I can’t, but you hold on to me
To say it all, I kept silent
I will try again - hoping, you are here to see

Lovely poetry, very gentle and tender.
As I have commented before, I've read through most of your posts and they are quite serene and eloquently delivered.
Please allow me to declare that this piece is one of my favourites from your writings.
It is very clearly intense. I reckon, with some beautiful and apt orchestration, you could turn this to a great song.
Well done, you! Keep writing!!!
@Brosreview -
This was actually my first poem ever :)
Undoubtedly this is a very personal poem. I can see the pain of someone being missed very terribly. Someone lost to some misunderstandings or for no great reason in particular. Now you want to give it all a new beginning, start all over, undo all the past, and mostly, get it right this time.
Please pardon me Chhaya if I have got this wrong, but as you would know I try to put myself in the story and make an attempt to understand the emotions. This is what I felt.
You declare this as your first poem, but this does not look like the work of a novice. The emotions run very deep, the words are a perfect embodiment of these feelings. I see you were born with this talent :) - a natural.
@Vittal - i feel so embarrased when i read this now.. so juvenile :D
