Life

Met the love of my life
Walked away after 2 years
Remained single all my life
And so did He

Truth

Is not the noise that I wanted to shut out
Is not the little things I wanted to erase
Is not how it lacked 
Is was never the inability of things
Nor the idea of impossibilities

Is not the walk arounds
Nor the sittings
Nor the tiny faces made 
Nor the hidden emotions
Nor the never appointments made

It was a decision of the heart
Maybe a little lack of belief
It was the fear of commitment 
Maybe the inclusiveness of loved ones
It was a step on the wrong path

The traditional language of sorrys
Was never invented in your honour 
Nor any other emotionally involving language
The hurts of the past has blinded the true eyes of love
Hence the let go prematurely

It is now to walk in regret 
And fear of changing the history
Today is a chance
Tomorrow is goodbye

Night of Shame

Shut down all doors
Close all windows
And sit down when i narrate

When i narrate the hurts of my heart
The troubles of a desire
A desire with no bearing and no guilt

I went to mountains because I believe
I climbed each day because I had a dream
I sat and thought of possibilities

That would conquer it all
And I succeeded most of the time
But this time, this time

I have failed
To acknowledge my true self
In fact I hid her away

I shut her up so good,
She sat down and listened 
To my pleasures, good, bad, guilt

She listened to all
And this time, she did not voice
She obeyed

I was finished and in his eyes I saw that
I was underneath a belt level
I could not be measured, useless I was

Smile, I said to comfort my cheapness
I walked away; to hide away from shame
Self pride, obligations, self respect all destroyed

Pretty on the outside but dirty inside
fun but a motive to have my soul reaped out
Useless I was

Your mind, your thoughts 
Reflect prideful
Because once again, you became a Man
And I, a whore

Kisses and action for pleasure
But once done, look away and shut down your system
Painful to think, I could stand again

Don't lose hope, I believed but not enough
This I know
Stand prideful and do a walk of shame

Shame yourself, him and the night
Then close the door and lock it up
Zip away the key and forget

Shut down all systems, and drown in success
Look for no one but your true self
and above all, hate love

Do you believe?

I have narrated

My Heart Speaks

I heard you described me as gold
I heard you beautified me 
I heard you boasted about me
I heard you final declared your love towards me

Is it because you just realized that i am gone
That I am finally someone's galaxy
That I now reign in someone's heart
That I now have a kingdom to rule

Is it because my beauty has enhanced
That I now dress golden garments
That i wear a smile worth more than your pockets
That my body is perfumed expensively
That i no longer walk on common ground

Is it because i own the little mines you opened
Is it because my face is on the coin you have
Is it because she decorated your kitchen with my face

Is it because your memories are bitter
Is it because you want to reverse time
Is it because i did not fall when you pushed me down
Is it because you failed to love me

I heard you praised me
I heard you bought me a flower
I heard you prayed for my return
I heard you told them I loved you

The honest you did not tell them is
How you brutally hurt me
How you murdered my love
How you buried my heart
How you pushed me aside
And how you hid me with bruises

I heard you wrote me a note
But now I am gone

Should You Wake Up With a Change of Heart

Should you wake up with a change of heart
Please know this
My heart has not for a minute changed
Nor has it began searching
It has stayed devoted as before
It has kept the place, just as you left it
It has like a loyal slave, called you its Master

Should you wake up with a change of heart
Please know this
Replacing you has been a painful task
To face the sunrise and sunset
Without your melody has been a slow death
The time has passed but memories as fresh as the Morning Dew
My heart's love growing like a well nurtured seedling

Should you wake up with a change of heart
Please know this
Nothing has been erased, still a referencing point
Future plans still involving your being
Connected in a high quality frequency
Should you wake up with a change of heart
Please know that, I am still where you left me

Why

When things fell apart
You picked me up
When I fell apart
You stood by me
When i couldn't see my abilities
You pointed your ways
When i gave up
You showed me the way

My question is why?
Why did you take your time
To save my time?
What was precious about me that
You could not leave me alone?

I hurt you more than they hurt me
I left you in the dark
And you had no one to light for you
I left you for Him
And you waited for me
We both know we cant be

Why?

I am breaking you apart
And i cant do anything for you
I have too much love 
But for some reason
I keep giving it away to wrong people
Knowing that you wait in line for it

I am sorry for crushing your heart
For breaking every single hope you
Have had to pieces
I am sorry that your plot is  fluctuating
I am sorry that you have unwillingly
Called me a fool
I am sorry that you went to bed with a broken heart
At times because of me
I am sorry that you cursed my love at some point

I wish you would swallow your love for me
I wish you pack it and give it away to her, desiring it
I hate seeing your look, each time
I tell you its me and him time
And we both know, i come back to lie in your chest and cry
To feel its warmth and smile
I use you and you know it
Even though you are warm and gentle
He is cold and rough and yet i want him

Even though i quench his thirst
I am not enough for him
But for you i seem to be enough

Why do you do this to yourself?

Gone

I don't mean to undermine your love
Nor do I want to say it was never real
But once it was over you pushed me aside
Like I never existed
Like I was never part of this great empire
You had on your mind

Now sudden I'm back on my feet 
After you pushed and stepped on me 
After you chased me away into the wilderness
After you realized that I wasn't enough

Now you come back with a pretense of true love
And that was the mistake you made
That you weren't aware of your action 

Where you drunk my love on that day?
When you said your official goodbyes
Where you blind and deaf
That everything didn't make sense
Was it hard for you to see that I was already in pain

Well my love, I'm sorry to disappoint
But I was wide awake
I saw it all happening
I was hoping it was all a dream
But my love it was not
It was the reality of your pain

It is now the end of it all
I'm sorry that I cant take it back

Possibilities

What kind of butterflies, do you have?
Are you a heart of balance,
Or a scattered heart, without a plan?
Did my timing or your timing
Correspond to the nature of emotions
Or it is by fact, wanting to taste
What is not yet yours

Questions and answer are funny
To the ordinary understanding
But love, lust and emotions are aliens
To them again,
What kind of the sky, have you painted
Is it similar to what I am used to
Or different? but still again is not important

Can you read my heart better than my body
Are Sundays a blessing to you
As Sunday 19th?
but then, it is not important

Emotions and feelings are destroyed once you meet them
What ever you would meet
You better not meet them, before your final proposal

Gone, Not, Maybe

When you said goodbye
It felt so unreal
But I guess the reality
Has taken more than a year to set
I'm here hoping for a change
I'm here waiting for a better day

Why did you close the doors
I fail to understand this
If it's a joke, it's taking forever to end
I don't want to know that you're gone anymore
It's the tears that fail me now

The sun can't seem to raise up
It's so dark, I can't bare it anymore
I'm so hurt by the last words spoken
There is nothing good about goodbyes
Just a sad word in a wrong phrase
Never meant to be spoken by the same lips that said I love you

The distance is short but such a long journey to take
Can it be the possibility of a changed heart
Let's build the bridge again
For tomorrow could be us again.

Closing Doors

In denial is a serious sickness
Watching every move I make
Simply because a word has been uttered to me
A minute time passed
With the hope that nothing has changed
How delusional of me
To have believed in an unknown situation
To have been sacred
Simply because another rejection was too expensive
What are the odds of realizing that all this time
I had known, but reality was never in the eyes?

Morning questions never answered
And having been a stupid but necessary move
To finally determine the standards of the situation
Should there have been another day
Of the same events, they will be ignored
As this time, it has been kept in the open
Every heartbeat felt
While waiting with anticipation
To either declare love or war
Some of it left to the ears of others
To leave a visible proof
That indeed it all happened
And that it is not an act of short period
Are times really that hard, that it is
Difficult to find what is true and pure?
That we settle for the bits that are thrown to us
Simply because society has standard charts that needs following.

What if dreams, victory and possessions
Required no hand of a man nor a name of his
Would the fair maiden really move up the ladder 
To build the impossibility known only to be possible amongst men? 
Are situations so bad that any men qualifies to be a shining Knight in Armour? 
Some battles were created solely for women and them alone. 

It is difficult, the first steps but eventually it becomes a routine, thus hair, face and body requires proper care and knowledge. 
Promises are indeed, sometimes just plain words
That keep us in unseen prisons 
For us to wait for judgement
While in actual truth,
We have the keys to open free and walk away
What every war has in an ending of things
And beginning of new things 
After every storm is a rainbow full of life and sweet hopes. 

While you close the final chapter 
Know that the war of confusion and doubt 
Has come to an end
And that no more are you a fool nor 
Would you ever embarrass the dignity and pride
You hold so dear
Some goodbyes are keys to a happy life 
Peace of mind and freedom 
Let this be your anthem and shield 
Next time it comes knocking on the door.
