Burning Memories

Oh!!! Why I remember it again???
The day, that gave only pain.
Those memories, I wish to forget.
Delete permanently, not to repent as a midget.

The day was bright and glad,
I had no reason to be sad.
Yet the evening was dipped in wine,
Sad tunes in air, as empty glasses gathered in line.

She wasn’t meant for me,
Nor, was she my cup of tea.
Yet I miss those deep brown eyes,
The way they tried, but couldn’t hide any lies.

I don’t really repent, nor am I sad.
Still something pricks and feels bad.
Why did she ask for a thing,
That no sane mind at that stage could spring.

She had her reasons, I had mine,
She must be asleep but I had wine.
She didn’t talk to me whole day,
And I didn’t bothered anyway.

But what happened at night,
Maybe that is when we chatted, out of all sight.
I think I missed her then,
And wanted to make up if I can.

But ego, drowned all desires,
Alcohol raged the burning fires.
Didn’t called her, knowing her expectations,
Gosh, I could tell her minds levitation.

Slowly and sadly the night passed away,
Bright morning, showed a promising day.
Entered the class in high spirits,
only to find her crying, in company of gits.

Her tears melted my heart away,
Wanted to say sorry, but my big fat ego came in the way.
Days, weeks, months and a year went by,
But our egos were too loyal to defy.

The college ended, and we partied like hell,
Don’t know of her, but I enjoyed well.
After all, who regrets 12 hours drenched in wine,
Served free, ain’t it better than just fine.

Don’t know what the DJ played,
With eyes on her, my heart sang and swayed.
She danced with every idiot on floor,
That poisonous sight, made me drink more.

Whatever, but 2 years have passed since,
All is lost, but our ego wins.
I want these memories to go and never return,
Yet they’ll be back to torment, until my heart starts to churn.
