The Sixth Reason

If I ever wanted to hear
How much you love me....
There couldn’t have been a better day than today

When not just the heart but may be the ribs are bit damaged too
When an entire night passed by without an inch of sleep
And the mirror says “ugly and tired”
When failures instead of smiling as lessons
Have hardened as thorns to prick
It’s then I wanted to hear you say me that you love me
And you love me despite everything

Yes I was not neat in my words
Though I wasn’t able to make you happy like every other day
And you thought I was wrong and mad
Still,
I want your delicacy which can heal all stubborn scars

Don’t hurt me today
I am so full, that pain would topple over my skin
And cover me in blood that looks like water
So today tell me anything,
But not those words that they told me
So tell me those four words that makes everything go away !

I have five alibis to lie down on the floor below the shower and cry
Today, you give me sixth reasons to get up from there and dry my hair
I know tomorrow everything would be fine again
the crown would be back, the smile will be intoxicating and the strength will be of a warrior

But today in these moments I needed you a million times more than you needed me!!
