Analysis of Illicit Affairs
Simrah Wahid 2009 (Lucknow)
Does the chagrin of our dead dreams splatter on your integrity
Does the idea of parting ways still hurt no matter how long the shame stays
Do all the disapproving glances and stare tell you it's not worth the humiliation you'll bare
What if the news of our illicit affairs, sores through the town like a bullet in air
Would you still love me when the tide is high while also holding my hand under the star spread sky?
Or would you tell me it is all over and done cause you fear if this continues we'll be spared by none
Do people all around hear the astronomical sound of two people in pain?? Or maybe they were just trying to love in vain..
Maybe I loved the one I should've hated,
maybe you chose the one you thought you could've defeated
You thought the Blooming bud we were was already rotten, I thought this love could be easily forgotten
I guess we were both wrong
cause you still wait for me in every downpour of rain and memories of us fill up every corner of my brain
