Stop

By Shloka Chandran

You said you’d call me back 

So I waited and waited

“Shloka stop looking at your phone” 

I realised my feeling you once again negated 

 

​

​

 

You said I meant something to you 

So I waited and waited 

“Shloka stop looking back at the past” 

I realised my time had been wasted 

 

​

​

You said you’d come to meet me 

So I waited and waited 

“Shloka stop looking out the window” 

I realised my smile had  faded 

 

​

 

You said the timing was not right 

So I waited and waited 

“Shloka stop looking at the same photos”

I realised my self worth had been degraded 

 

​

​

You said I was being dramatic 

So I stopped waiting 

“Shloka stop-“

Their words were finally sinking
