My City

She called me grumpy

She yelled at my every sheer insanity She laughed at my ill-conceived schedules And I could trace sarcasm in her every single word

She yelled at my every sheer insanity

She laughed at my ill-conceived schedules

And I could trace sarcasm in her every single word


She was the Satan for me

I despised her and called her sardonic 

I thought she was a bit much of my fate

And she was believed to be the living baddy in my life


But now that she isn’t with me anymore 

I feel sorry for that tiny innocuous creature 

I regret the every curse I’ve muttered for her

Cause none of them are the ones I can take back

Once I used to be stubborn little nincompoop

She was the only one to handle me with care

She woke the nights just to let me sleep 

And listened to my every nasty moonshine


But as the moons passed, she was losing herself

She began to suffocate and began to cough

As she was becoming weak day after the other

And she hid it all behind her smiles


One day it so happened that I wasn’t in home

And all she was doing was the daily chores

Perhaps it was the last day she had to do them

Because she set her voyage to heaven after that


She broke me into pieces and reduced me to tears

Now each of her scolding lingered in my ears as rhapsodies 

Every single corners of the house hauling her and only her

But now she wouldn’t come back home


And now I stand here; all down and all low

Just remembering the times we spent together 

Wishing I could go back in time

Not to change things; just to feel those times twice
