Expectation

I looked up to you as if you will take the role of my mentor,

But I guess fourth time isn’t a charm

You studied me in depth as if I was your first guide tour

You mistook my oversharing as a plea

I just wanted your support not your help

Don’t say it’s the same

They can never be

It’s just that encouragement and flattery can’t be in one frame

Just like life and death can’t be on same side

Just like red and red can’t be same on someone’s hand

When one screams blood stain and other is just a paint
