“The Man in White”

By Chinu James

You painted my heart in Red

Yet, I always see you in white

Every time you cover my eyes in tears

I close them and visit your smile

I tried to run from you

Yet, everywhere I went l found you

I could never touch you

Yet l felt I owned you

I realized they were dreams and only dreams

Yet reality could never match

If ever my life with you could come true

I choose to starve than to be without you.

You taught me love, you gave me life

Yet you say that wasn’t real

Every moment is spend in you

Yet, you say I don’t need you.
