She glares at me

There she is, sitting on my bedside stool;
Staring at me, calling me a fool.
She and I had a lifetime affair,
But now she says, I don’t care.

Her accusations have a lot of truth in them,
In chaos of life, my promises to her became a lie;
But does it look, as if she would cry?
No, but her eyes just reflect her disappointment in them.

She reminds me of days and nights ,
When we were inseparable;
The times when responsibilities had not 
Taken over the life’s loving preamble.

I wish I could tell her,
How my hands shiver just to touch her.
I remember, the excitement of picking her up,
Feeling that smoothness, and fragrance so unique.

I wish I could shout on the rooftop,
That I am in love with this -
Unopened, untouched often ignored
But always in my heart, part of my life.

But till I can, 
There lies my beloved book....
Glaring at me, 
Calling me a fool.
