12 o’clock

She left me for a dude

Who wakes up before noon

toaster has burned down

And milkman has gone 

Mails have piled up

And it’s the last day for dues.

Something’s wrong with alarm

It’s not of any use.

When I wake up at 12

To realise everything has happened

 But Not the way it had to happen

My dreams have packed the bags

While I am brushing my teeth

It’s going somewhere in a cab

While I am taking a bath

 I reach the party to know it’s over

Everyone’s drunk and I am sober

And turn away

It’s the meaning I delve

When I wake up at 12
