Unspoken Affections: Part-VIII

The Story Behind the Lines

I was inspired to write this poem based on an idea that what if the same fear of desertion exist in dreams too? so this poem is the result of that idea. There's nothing to speak much about something that is meant to doomed from the very start. 

Unspoken Affections: Part-VIII

i meet you in dreams but

the fear of desertion continue to exist

emotions in my dream seem far more stronger

in reality too both our faces looks so gray

i can't even console you in your grief

i don't want you to know about how i feel

it's supposed to be a love affair meant to die

either in grave or by moving on with time

What does this poem means to me?

I wrote this poem out of the fear that still exists within me. I have lost people's i cherished, loved the most and its excruciating to be honest. I have mourned the loss of someone and loss of a friendship. I regret never telling them how much i loved them. The fear of losing someone is something that is very universal. It gets scary when you can't spot the difference between a dream and reality because even in dreams, you are scared to let go of the hand that gives you solace. 

My favorite line in this poem is "i can't even console you in your grief" because it's not the fear that they might find out about my feelings but it will have consequences too. The fear of losing someone makes the feeling to console them look smaller.
