Victim Of Desire

I came out fresh from my mother’s womb

Someday would be somebody’s groom

Learnt ways of this world as each day passed

Was an innocent boy but now i’m sassed

I sit alone and stare in a void

Look for reasons why I’m annoyed

Don’t know what it is that I aspire

I’m telling you now I’m a victim of desire

You came in my life with a bright light

Everything got colored which was earlier black and white

You were the one who admired me for what I was

In my wandering life you gave a cause

The days I spent with you fascinate me still

Before that they had no thrill

Thought you were the only one whom I require

I didn’t know then I was a victim of desire

Its ‘WE’ no more, its ‘I’ alone

You were my butterfly but now you’ve flown

I walk alone when i feel depressed

It was you for whom I was obsessed

You had your reasons to do what you did

Finally found out what I hid

Deceit is what was my attire

What else could I do, I was a victim of desire

I thought I was fine, I was gonna make no mistakes

All I wanted to do is taste different cakes

It’s been a long time I haven’t faked

Looked straight but sometimes I liked getting baked

I’m headed towards what they call a ‘wreck’

What I now crave for is a peck

My life is like a worn out tyre

Be anything but not a victim of desire
