'Why do i drink so much? Perhaps i think that everytime when i m done
with it'
Gets up from the floor..a look in the mirror..'Awwww….i m
disgusting'…'Why do i always listen floyd when i m in such bad
shape?..perhaps i do that anyways too'
Bathroom…splash..splash…tring tring..tring tring..picks up
..listens..about to say something..'It can't be her…oh my god that
seriously can't be true'…listens a bit more..hangs up…'why do all
credit card companies have such dusky voice operators? perhaps they are
paid for that only' Winks, picks up a grey shirt, puts it on, pulls out
a white bag from the almirah, checks the contents…thinks..a trail of
sweat goes by..turns the fan on…sits on the chair, in the middle of
the room, the only piece of furniture visible…a saucerful of secrets
at high volume…gets up… pulls a swiss knife from the bag….starts
cutting a vein off the left hand..starts bleeding..smiles…makes a
star around the chair…'twinkle twinkle little star, how i wonder wat
you are'.. increases volume…sits on the chair again..looks at the
cut..still bleeding…sweats more…smiles again…tring tring..tring
tring…looks at the phone…She calling..She calling…trembles a bit
more…starts crying…cries a lot…She calling..tring tring…She
calling…picks up..hears…puts the phone down…pulls the last band
aid out of his pocket..puts it on the cut haphazardly…cleans his face
off the tears..sits down on the chair..sees the star around him…high
hopes…is almost about to cry again…ting tong ting tong…opens the
door in a flash..she comes in…she sees the star..removes the chair
from the centre…both stand in the middle of the star…start
dancing..
Encumbered forever by desire and ambition
There's a hunger still unsatisfied
pulls the chair back..sits…she keeps dancing around him… starts
crying..Our weary eyes still stray to the horizon
Though down this road we've been so many times
she holds the swiss knife in her hands..starts piercing his
neck…starts smiling..
The grass was greener
The light was brighter
starts to put the blood around the star to make a
disc..sees..smiles..blood flowing out..closes eyes…
The taste was sweeter
The nights of wonder
..she starts dancing again.
