    I wanted you to be the soft twilight

    Or may be the soothing rays of dawn.

    But you burned my soul

    Like the midsummer scorching sun.



    I wanted you to be the zephyr of spring

    When the bluebirds start singing.

    But you electrocuted me

    Like a white lightning.



    I wanted you to flow like a rivulet

    Where I can enjoy the white stream.

    But you washed me away

    Like a Nile's bad dream.



    I wanted you to be my Bloody Mary

    Which will make me sing.

    But you knocked me out

    Like a cocktail of whiskey and gin.

    Thanks! Most of the time, there are stark differences between expectations and reality.

    Everybody can see the liquor dripping from the verse:
    The Australian wine ?
