"One - Sided Dream" Never seen her face, and yet, My heart aches with a deep regret. Why must these one-sided dreams, Haunt my with unseen beams? Her eyes hold no arrows for me, The distance remains eternally. Why can't I bridge this unseen maze? My oblivious hands lose their daze. No music fills the air with glee, The vast sky fades from me. Why can't such companionship exist? Leaving my heart with an aching fist. Lost in these fantasies I roam, Forever a stranger in this dream-like home. Why must these unfulfilled desires, Burn like embers, fanned by hidden fires? The world feels distant, cold, and vast, A stranger I stand, forever outcast. Why must this pain, a relentless tide, In the caverns of my heart reside? ©Santosh Jangam
