One of those days...

Today was one of those days,
When I knew I had to sit back and give you your way.
You either woke up on the wrong side of the bed,
Or you woke up and thought it was the end;
For when you opened your eyes, you wished yourself dead.
I tried to say and do all kinds of things to cheer you up,
But keeping your promise, you were so abrupt
I could not make you let up.
You did not want me pestering you to smile, you declared.
You did not want me trying to make you happy, you claimed.
Surely, you could not have meant what you said
I knew it was one of those days

Today was one of those days,
When I knew I had to sit back and let you have your way,
Of no fault of my own, I kept you waiting longer than I should
My sin duly noted, I received a cold hug and blank stare too.
Being around you was truly going to be difficult.
But I was certain, it couldn’t be worse than being in some creepy cult.
I understood, aware of what truly bothered you and tried to reassure you.
Then you told me firmly, that you didn’t want me trying to understand you.
You couldn’t have meant what you said,
Because I knew it was one of those days

Today was one of those days,
When I knew there was definitely no standing in your way.
Reaching home you slammed the door shut, violently threw your shoes off
I could see you slowly calm down,
It was clear you needed some steaming off.
I was relieved at first only because I knew it was not me.
Naively I tried to make you mine again.
Irritated you snatched the foil from my hand,
Flinging it onto the bleak cement floor.
The insignificance of your insensitive action tugged at my throat,
Making me wish myself through the door.
You possibly couldn’t have meant what you did,
It had to be one of those days

Today was truly one of those days,
When I knew there was definitely no point standing in your way.
Standing away, not wanting you to notice the change in my mood,
Respectfully, as any lover would,
As any loved on should,
I left you for the day.
Not chancing a glance, I walked never having said a word.
Out of fear, I did not wish to add more coal to your already dreary world
Somberly I watched the bright city lights dashing past
I felt alone and weary at my insane quest for peace of mind.
No matter the cost, my path still undefined.
Whether it meant going blind for love, I was surely going to find.
I was convinced.
You could never have meant what you did
It was just one of those days.
