How Life Is Defined

How life is defined

Neither can I laugh nor cry,

 Yet, I carry on life

I would watch day passes day and night passes night

Seeing not you, but YOU, through a blank stare of eyes

What’s in that deep, fathomless mind

Not love, nor hate, in the looks of your eyes

How would then we define our life?

Who’s crying last night?

 Softly, but who’s cried?

Was that you – crying for your misery and for mine?

Or was that I? I cried in the night

Is it how our life defined?

Must we be entangled in a madness of mind?

Of life, love, of yours and mine

how should our life be defined!
