Unspoken Affections: Part-IV

The Story Behind the Lines

i was inspired to write this poem after i came across someone who is just as depressed as me. We both had lost something we were working hard for, the peoples we care about. This is when the feeling struck me that i ain't the only one who is going through hard time but my muse for this poem is someone who i don't want to feel the same emotions and just want to see their smile. This is a letter to you if you're reading it that someday you will feel just fine because you made me believe i will be fine too.

Unspoken Affections: Part-IV

your gentle eyes cried a little times 

your lips so sweet but red in pain

your face so blue but hides the color gray

the sadness no one knows about you

i'll tell you something holding your hand

you have a admirer who cares about you

the cannons that are aimed at your fort

will submerge in the sea before they hit you

What this poem means to me?

This poem paints the picture of the inner turmoil in someone's mind that i know and i certainly feel the same. It is about anyone who is trying to hide their pain and keep on living a "good life" in the eyes of the other's and act like just fine when it's not really the case with them. This poem is a letter to anyone that no matter where you stand, what you feel, there's always someone in this world who cares about you, who wants to spend their time with you to see you smile in every situation. 

The lines that stand out the most for me are "your face so blue but the hides the color gray" because it not only paints the picture of someone who looks happy on the outside but internally is so gray that is sad and depressed. The other line that i love is "the cannons that are aimed at your fort will submerge in the sea before they hit you" because its a message to someone that your problems, your fears will disappear someday if you just don't let your demons rule your mind. I talk very positive for someone himself feeling those emotions. Anyways, trust me you will be fine and i have hope for myself too.
