why is it so hard
to squeeze in a word
from time to time
proficiency nullified
when faced with reality
of someone to pine
over, just like that
heartbroken and alone
and fears redefine
what if my lips are shut
suffering alone forever
will you then be mine
to render useless a life
but for a cause
is it justified?
the lives left behind
helpless and broken
to be crucified?
and the cause stands
losing another soul
with hope paralyzed
getting on with life
forgetting to learn
from mistakes unrealized
why is it that what i say
and what you hear
is always out of sync
my truths are your lies
your darkness for my light
wouldn’t it make you think
and yet i stand here
resolute and alone
taking the road high
and there you are
always with a reason
to say goodbye
betrayed by my own kith
over faces unknown
and years of love and trust
puff… gone
my existence to you a ghost
or a plane parallel
treatment to me so silent
shivered universe all
the darkness in you i see
i am not a match
walking around you on eggshells
can’t let those chicken hatch
a constant struggle
to keep at bay, the thoughts
of your existence
stubborn, they are
for they keep flooding back
to drown me in tears
not today, my love
not when the skies bleed
not when the lands parch
not when the clocks stop
don’t break my heart
