Lonely Child

She never gave the love that I saught
He never asked about my thoughts
I stayed home with no one to play
Lost in my dreams I wondered astray
I searched for a friend which I never found
I cried out my heart, no one heard the sound
Sometimes I wished I was never born
Or never wake up and see another dawn.

I peeped though the doors and saw them fighting
All day it was just yelling and shouting
I sat by the window and watched the white clouds
Wishing I could float with them and sing out aloud
But alas! My reverie never lasted forever
A cold voice would soon shake me and it would be over
Sometimes I wondered to whom I belonged
I searched for an answer like a lost song.

The kids in my class thought I was strange
Kind of weird, no one wanted to my friend
I didn’t know how to smile, I never found a reason
Life seemed so dark, trapped in a prison
Wish I could run, millions of miles
Find a faraway place where I could learn to smile
But at the end of the day the hope disappeared
I made my way back to the place that I feared.

Through my little window I stared at the night sky
Wishing for a miracle as I saw with my wet eyes
A twinkling star up above there
A sign of an angel coming from somewhere 
I hoped and hoped, for a happy home
Where I would be loved and wouldn’t be so lone
 It never happened and every day passed by
The lonely child kept wishing she could die.

Thank You Father

Don’t misunderstand me. 
I wish to thank you, for everything. 
I’ve learned so much from you, I have had some of the best conversations with you.
I still carry your songs
Phrases of wisdom, love and loss.
You have so much more that you could have given.
Just don’t know who’s to blame.
I wish you stayed together with her, I wish I had known you more
I wish I hadn’t spent years hating you for things I didn’t know.
Now we stay worlds apart but I do think of you
I hope you are happy and free like you always wanted to be
Cherishing life through its sweetness and rage
Bitterness and pain
Living like the hero in the stories you told
Long long time ago.
I wish I had been nicer, or could I still be?
I can’t deny I wish things were better , merrier
But it was what it was, little change can be.
And as you say, we learn from everything.
Still, thank you father.

Bits and Pieces

They are scattered around. Everywhere.
Don't try to gather them. Let them stay.
The pieces of my heart. Scattered, uncared.
 
I have traveled a million miles. Too many places.
I have been in love. And seen too many faces.
Everytime, I find a home, I know  I need to leave
And my heart breaks into a million pieces.
 
And those pieces are left behind, 
In those places that I have walked, 
With those moments, where I laughed with you. 
And with those strangers I fell in love with.
 
And I wonder how amazing it would be, 
If each of those pieces could experience and absorb life
In its sweetness and rage, in its bitterness and pain
With each of you, who I met and left, on this road!
If each could tell me, how you've been doing
How the sea shore looks like on the other side of the world
How the city, the road I walked, feels like now that it's raining?
 
Bits and pieces of my heart
Stay scattered around, uncared
Stay with each of you
While you move on.

She, the Warrior

We all die. Some in our grave.
Some in our ashes.
And some in our hearts.
But if you must die.
Then die fighting for what you love.
 
And so she hid the heart
Behind the walls so strong
And she would trick you to love
But you cannot come along
Cause that was the only fuel she had
She could only burn it for what others won’t.
 
And if she had to pick her battle
It would be for all that would matter
For a purpose bigger than herself
Cause the solitary maid who no one knew
Had no one to lose or to fear.
 
And far out in her quiet dwelling
In a room lit up with golden hues
You might have managed to catch her glimpse
Or perhaps have had a word or two.
And with her cold uncaring stare
She perhaps scared you away
Did she tell you beneath that iron suit
The warrior was dying slowly everyday?
 
She didn’t tell and no one knew
When quietly she ceased to be
But she put her last fuel to lit up the dark
In the depths of the ocean so long unseen.

The Summer of the Winter Sky

It was time for the leaves to fall,
The fields to turn white,
The birds to leave for faraway lands-
And the long cold lonely nights.

Seemed like for eternity
She hadn’t had a smile -
Frozen was the world around
Lonely she walked  for miles.
Dead were the blossoms in her garden,
And love was about to die-
And yet she prayed to her unseen friend -
For the summer of the winter sky!


Not a song was heard at dawn,
Only the echo of the wind-
In the misty field of corn
Not a farmer was seen!
A wait so long, so painful to bear
Left alone with no one so near
She was lost in her own reverie-
With tears in her dreamy eyes.
And she prayed as her heart cried-
Longing for the summer of the winter sky.



No one knows who heard her prayer
Lost amidst the silence
And yet an early morning bud 
Blossomed in her garden!
Suddenly a little sparrow was seen 
High on the branch of the willow tree
Singing a song as if to welcome-
Amidst the grey sky, a sun so warm.
And love then again knocked her door
Promising a life like never before-
And like a happy child  she opened her eyes
For it was summer for the winter sky!

Iterative Heartbreaks

I woke up and you were there
Every little hope was here
It was a while, someone had been nice
You said the words I wanted to hear
Be there when I felt so weird
Lonely could be saying goodbye.

I had my doubts, didn’t tell it loud
Told myself, try it out
Didn’t expect it  to turn this way
And I was trying so hard
To be in love, but you got it all wrong.
And I was trying so hard
Not to get hurt, but here’s my sad song.

And I wish you didn’t pretend
This life was just fine by myself
Why knock my door, why mess me for more?
Don’t you know of those scars?
That are unhealed from the past?
And the horrors I been through?
So I crept in my shell
Till you came along
And asked me to peak out
And go through it again.

I had my doubts, didn’t tell it loud
Told myself, try it out
Didn’t expect it  to turn this way
And I was trying so hard
To be in love, but you got it all wrong.
I was trying so hard
Not to get hurt, but here’s my sad song.

I Met You In My Journey

I met you in my journey.
Over cups of coffee. Over conversations.
Over laughter. Pure nuisance.
Over smiles. And feeling of freedom.
Pure happiness. And amusement.
Over sadness. And pain.
That you stuck through.
 
I met you in my journey.
Unexpected. And I loved you.
Over the hours. The minutes.
And the days. Through lonliness.
Through the emptiness. Through the confusion
In your head. Through the feelings
That no one else understood.
 
I met you in my journey.
Lonely soul I was. Just like you.
Fighting through emotions. A rebel.
Transient like rainbow. Forever, I knew not.
My other self. I found in you.
Through the fleeting nights and days.
That made the best of my life.
 
I met you in a  journey.
Which ended. Long ago
And I look back. And wonder.
If I ever cross your mind. Like you do.
I do not know where you are now. Or how.
If you are happy, loved. But I know
In my memories, we will meet again.

Fleeting Nights of Faking Love

I’ m happy that you knocked my door
So what, if I don’t really know you
In this world of fantasy, I can pretend anything to be true.
Pretend I have known you, pretend that I love you
Pretend that I care. Like I did for everyone who was here.
So what, if in couple days, you would walk out
Impermanence is the rule of the world, and I expect nothing to stay.
You don’t really know the coldness in my heart, do you?
You would never. I‘d watch you go and let you disappear.
I have let go of many things. Since a child.
Tears don’t come to me. Even if I try.
I don’t want to hold on and wait till the end
Watch it break into a million pieces and go through the pain
The pain that left so many unhealed scars, only had you looked in me.
 
But I am human, feelings do overwhelm me
Do I get swayed by the temptation, that you stay? 
I laugh. I hurry through my feelings, I know that they are cheating
On me. Cause, feelings are but temporary illusions. Like when you are dreaming.
And then, there’s another face. Another place.
Another few fleeting nights of faking love
And a life in complete mess.
 
Did I make you smile? Make you feel loved?
Make you believe, that I care
So what if I am only to dissapear.

Funeral of Love

She didn’t speak
She didn’t call
She didn’t sing the song of the fall
She didn’t smile 
Or wave me goodbye
Just disappeared across the miles

And left me so lonely
Lonely as I could be 
If I could just undo
I would be with you only


She didn’t weep 
She didn’t cry
She didn’t tell the reasons why
She didn’t know 
That I would die
Without her love in my life

And left me so lonely
Lonely as I could be 
If I could just undo
I would be with you only


She didn’t smile
She didn’t cry
She only left her ashes behind
But she did know 
Deep in her heart 
That we would forever never part

Someday, Somewhere

Someday, somewhere I would be able to move on
I would be living under some other sky
And I wont need you to come along
And I would say goodbye
To all the pains and the tears
I would go to the sea and the cliffs that I dreamed on my own
Far away, far away from home.

Someday, somehow I would run away from this life
I would be chasing the rainbow in the sky
And I won't need you by my side
And I would say goodbye
To all the fears and the fights
To those who broke my heart and tore me apart
I would run away
Far away, far away from here.
