A NEW SONG

I heard you humming a new song

In some language

which to me was unknown

It's tune, foreign to me

Pitch so high,

my ears couldn't stand

I didn't sway my head along

But you, unbothered, went on,

All I could tell,

It was not our song

In our dinner table,

it didn't belong.

Next morning in the kitchen

Waking up early as you always did

Unlike me, I slept in,

with questions and thoughts vivid.

The breakfast you made

No longer tasted the same.

New herbs and flavours discovered

With no certain measure, you've sprinkled

My tongue couldn't taste,

My full bowl went to a waste.

Some allergy it had triggered

With extreme disgust,

I spitted it out.

Plants in the balcony, withered

Added no colour,

produced no flower,

Without your care and mine,

Some have already died.

The knot that tied us together

Slowly being undone,

Now a different thread

Attached to our arms,

With strength, pulling us apart.

If it is just you and me,

If it is just our just our story,

Why is it then,

I still have to worry?

If equation is in balance,

Why do I feel,

A different variable's presence?
