I Failed to Sing for You

ok this is my poetic take on a bengali song (aamar hiyar majhe lookiye chhile - rabindranath tagore)


You were here all this while
How could I be So blind?
I searched worldwide
For someone like you
But forgot my heart inside

You were beside me
When I smiled, when I cried
How could I not know
It was you with the bright light?

You stayed with me, my happiness
While I led my life in pleasure
That's the reason I worried less
And spent my days in leisure

You were my inner voice
You were my unknown choice
You were in those words i hummed
Happy or sad, my pain you numbed
You composed those songs I sang
Yet I failed to sing for you.........
