Despair Laden Heavy Eyelids

Hide emotions they are not for display

Despair laden, heavy eyelids, swollen and droopy, are crazy

Or I am overreading, that you are disconsolate;

Hiding something from everybody,

Or I am overreacting, that you are forsaken;

Tell me though, enumerating live heart rhythm of yours,

Your heart is modest too, as mine?

Do you have hidden, heart strings strumming or just cold frozen cord?

That moment which is special and your adoration arise, as chirpy as your voice

That special moment is also awaited by you or there is a discord.

Hidden warmth and ardor is there or not?

Rejecting and missing time spent with nature and whole world, just for you

Tell me honestly, same emotions there too?

Do you have same confidence or do you wish validation from others,

Swollen, despair laden eyelids portraying a long untold story

Decipher it, if you can.
