You tiptoe in silence and steal someone's heart;
You rudely wipe away forever those priceless tears ;
You shut down the book with a bang and toss it aside -
Unmindful of the hurt soul trapped inside.
One fine day, you're done with the chores that engaged you-
Or might be the other soul existing in another colourful book;
You look for the cast away one which had once captivated you;
You reach out, start reading savouring in delight the essence
of the soul that had been entombed;
You are happy the heart still echoes your rhythm;
The lively eyes that had once been teary
are now dry, dull and bleary;
The entrapped soul was jubilant; the saviour had arrived ;
Alas! Little did the soul know -cast aways forever remain so!
The book was again shut -
As it was the old version and tossed away.....
....for...ever...!
