Loneliness by Gauri Dixit

Loneliness

You leave or I

It is all the same

We are both alone

Fighting loneliness

To make it leave too

Caressing it to make it bloom

Into something that it is not

Closing our eyes and dreaming

That it has filled our voids with yellow wildflowers

Wildflowers are never blue

Any other colour is fine too

Amidst the riot of colours

Loneliness

Walks the ramp

Amidst fellow walkers

It seems to be at ease

Part of the troupe

Swaying on the music

Waving at the showstopper

It halts in its track

You and I 

Have quite a task

To find a new ramp

And some other loneliness

Dreaming wildflowers 

Not blue

Is a tough ask
