what's left is ink

you told me

You told me you'll always be there

And I thought about forever

In a form of late night talks

And sudden walks;

I thought

Of magic,

Love and fairy tales

You told me you'll always be there

And so I didn't have the time

To memorize your laughter

To trace your eyes with my fingers

And to think of many souvenirs

That I could hold on for years

You told me you'll always be there

So I allowed myself to just get lost

In your arms of comfort

In the days of pain and hurt;

Within your touches,

I was dependent

In your hugs,

I was content

And I was lost

And it's not fine at all

You told me you'll always be there

And so I thought that you care

And that there's nothing much to fear

You told me you'll always be there

But it was just a promise

Something that's meant to break in pieces---

Was it your fault to lie?

Did you?

You told me you'll always be there

But soon after my one deep slumber,

You held the door open,

My heart was sore---

Cut open

You told me you'll always be there

And it was so honest,

You weren't a liar---

You are still here,

It's just that,

Your body is somewhere
