Under the same roof
We lived under the same roof
I remained aloof
Strange feelings
Strung by feeling of uneasiness
We shared everything
Somewhere vacuum was lingering
My company was my thoughts
But nothing was my part
Solitude pains
Silently listening to soothing music sadness vanes
A fraction of second my heart thumped
A shadow hovered
I turned to see whom it was
In a moment the estranged feelings turned tables
I closed my eyes
Heard a sweet voice
Opened my eyes
Feelings freezed like ice
Wide gap existed
Wondered and pondered
How to patch
Humming the tune of love to match
Under the same roof
I remained aloof
