Desire

Today life said cry me a river. And I did. Like my city that's parched before the onset of monsoons I was parched and had slowly grown lifeless until tears washed my face like the torrential rains in Mumbai. The city that I live now only in my dreams. I felt something crazy inside of me. Something that seemed to be liberated like those tears that flow incessantly from my eyes that begged for sleep helplessly. Life was ruthless today. It annoyed me in the simplest of ways and killed my sleep like it was some cold blooded murder. I lay on my bed twisting and turning as if there was some escape. There was none. I couldn't stop the tears flowing as I let out silent wails that only drowned in the loud noises from the road below. It was like the world said 'We don't care' I wonder if anyone does. I wonder if anyone is obliged to. Those who do, are either too far away in my city watching the rain while I soak myself in a different one miles away or are right here yet separated by a wall and oblivious to what lies beyond. By all means am alone and yet not quite. The roaring sounds from the road below remind me that am not alone or rather that they will not let me be even if that's what I have been wishing for since the past hour and a half. The day has long ended, the night has arrived in all its splendor, but the road below refuses to offer silence even in alms to eyes that have only known to beg. They would be sore now like the ears. I wonder if the lack of something was ever so deeply desired.
