Like a Woman scorned!!

All I wanted was to be there for you,
to help you heal,
to give your heart a break,
to let it see some light,
to reduce its burden...

But you had to
shut me out.. Why?
was my company so bad,
that you had to shun me,
trample my pride,
stomp on the good I believed,
in myself, in you?

Or were you so hurt,
that you couldn't tell me
couldn't describe what you were going through,
and this was your way of sharing?

To show me how it felt?
To doom me equally?
To tour me through the darkness you have seen?
If it was, I appreciate it...

But the deal was,
to go through it together...
Or was it your way of showing,
the intensity it had,
when you had no one around you?

Maybe, it was your way of sharing,
but how cruel could you be,
to let someone suffer through that
alone... Especially
especially after you knew
how it is...

Especially after you knew,
there's no going back..
Especially after you knew,
there's no cure..

You did what you did...
And I still believe,
you didn't intend...
You didn't intend to insult me..
You didn't intend to ignore me..
You didn't intend to mock me..

But you did what you did,
And now, I will do what I "should"
Because, intentions don't matter at times..
Because, you see,

Heaven has no Rage,
like Love to Hatred turned,
Nor Hell a Fury.
Like a Woman scorned!!

Thunderbolt !!

Thunderbolt they said it was,
Which rarely happens, once in a lifetime for the fortunate ones..
Something the Italians ardently wish for & believe in,
But they didn't talk about, what after?

Thunderbolt they said it was,
When love strikes you like a lightening,
something so powerful and intense,
that you can't deny what it asks,
But no one knew, what if we had to deny?

Thunderbolt they said it was,
That spills your soul out for the world to see,
Something that turns one inside out,
But no one advised, what if we were trampled on?

Thunderbolt they said it was,
What Dominique felt for Howard,
what just-a-girl felt for a bookshop owner,
Something that makes everything else seem trivial
But no one knew, what if it wasn't acknowledged?

Thunderbolt it is, they say,
When a moment's enough to know,
this is someone I need in my life,
Thunderbolt it is, they say,
Apparently because,
The surge is enough to leave a forever scar,
or, it is enough to jump off in a leap of faith,

Thunderbolt it is, they say,
Apparently because,

One way or the other,
life's never the same again!!
