The dead letter

I thought about you and wrote those words,
All the time being as honest as I could ..
Sealing the envelope with a kiss,
And all I wanted from you was an answer ..

Remembering the time when we were free as birds,
Promising ourselves it'll all turn out good ..
And all the time we used to be in bliss,
When we used to think love was like a bright color ..

Since, don't you think we've moved backwards ?
And away from each other like pieces of driftwood ?
Even distant, you'll forever be my princess,
You're the keeper of my heart, you're my jailer ..

I now spend my time playing billiards,
and I wrote to you not because I was bored,
Hope this as a random act you won't dismiss,
And tell me something that'll make me feel better ..

All day I've been looking eastwards,
Waiting for the mailman, hoping he would ..
But all I've come across are snakes' hiss,
And my life has been getting bleaker ..

I thought maybe I was penning some crosswords,
And those were things you never understood ..
And I thought I was destined for the abyss,
But little did I know you never got the letter ..
