My Silence will speak to you…

Never ever would I cause you the most inconspicuous of harm; if you
preferred to relinquish every ounce of your life for a complete
stranger; whilst neglecting me like a heap of fetid rubbish-in the
farthest corner of the trash can,

Never ever would I cause you the most invisible of harm; if you
indulged in senseless gossip with your friends for hours immemorial;
and then blaming time for not asking me how I lead my entire day,

Never ever would I cause you the most deteriorating of harm; if you
admired every insignificant achievement of your close kin; whilst
treating each world record of mine as some orphaned jinx fallen from
the sky,

Never ever would I cause you the most baseless of harm; if you neatly
clipped every piece of literature you'd read all day; whilst
proclaiming the infinite lines of my poetry as just a disdainful
squandering of time,

Never ever would I cause you the most ethereal of harm; if you
spuriously supported me for every weakness of mine; only to
outrageously reveal the same to the world outside; blackmailing me for
the tiniest loss of my temper,

Never ever would I cause you the most floundering of harm; if you
viciously abused and slapped me infront of my own blood; just because
I'd fearlessly expressed my individualistic point of view in closed
doors,

Never ever would I cause you the most oblivious of harm; if you
sanctimoniously entwined your arms in mine; and then cavorted for
major part of life with the charismatic clinician of your choice-as I
turned behind,

Never ever would I cause you the most insipid of harm; if you
blatantly declared each ounce of my passion for my favorite things in
life; as insane madness of the highest degree,

Never ever would I cause you the most limpid of harm; if you
unsparingly ridiculed me for my gluttony when I was hungry; whereas
you plucked countless living leaves of the tree time and again—for
ostensibly no reason or rhyme,

Never ever would I cause you the most infinitesimal of harm; if you
started to snore like a boundless combined monsters; the instant I
tried to uninhibitedly pour the past and present of my heart; beside
your collapsing stride,

Never ever would I cause you the most forgetful of harm; if you
ignominiously slandered the way I solely listened to my heart and got
bankrupt; whilst you assimilated coin over perspiring coin—were an
ardent fan of every astute brain who went on to built an emotionless
empire,

Never ever would I cause you the most languid of harm; if you
diabolically retaliated as if to wholesomely behead me; to just a
spurt of my anger which only went to show I was human and not God,

Never ever would I cause you the most frigid of harm; if you laughed
louder than the planet outside on each of my follies; showing me the
sadistic shade of the devil whilst staying close to my breath all my
life,

Never ever would I cause you the most obsolete of harm; if you
continued to sleep as the thieves came in and made merry; and then
rebuked me for being a coward and not confronting them—thought I was
at a distant place that time,

Never ever would I cause you the most non-existent of harm; if you
inexhaustibly hummed praises of your close kin though they discarded
you; whilst I was the one who came running to the faintest of your
cries,

Never ever would I cause you the most disappearing of harm; if you
clapped for the very politicians who sat on power thrones; whose
foundations gorily rested on innocent blood of my pristine brothers,
sisters and benign kin,

Never ever would I cause you the most insouciant of harm; if you
cursed me from the innermost ingredients of your blood to die each
instant of my destined life—only because I opposed you and your
conventionally tyrannical society for lighting venomous crackers to
greet and appease the Gods,

Never ever would I cause you the most evanescent of harm; if you tied
the nuptial knot with me solely to get a handsome roof to live
under---and thereby absolve your kin from the excruciating agonies of
an added existence,

Nevertheless. Though I would never ever harm even the most
mercurial hair on your skin in any manner whatsoever—but for every
painful beat of my heart that you were responsible--- My silence will
speak to you….
