I am so sorry
That I acted like a thief,
Who broke into your house
Under the moon of midnight,
Through the open windows
And danced around you
On tip toes like I am doing
Some jazz moves with your
Moonlit shadow while you were
So peacefully tucked inside
Those homely plain sheets,
Sleeping and dreaming, may be,
While I was looking for
A perfect chance and I got one
When I caved and clawed
Your heart out without
Giving you a single ounce of pain,
But sudden your sleepy smile faltered,
I panicked and ran away,
Jumping high from the same window,
Under the midnight moonlight
But this time with a stained hand
And a still beating heart.
I am so sorry
That I acted like a thief
Because I was so much enraptured
With the infinite love you stored
Inside your heart which
Made me wander
How it might actually feels if
That same heart beats
If kept inside my
Hollow cage of ribs.
