Is It Alright
In day's doom,
when times maroon;
In night's gloom,
when darkness looms;
I need you to hold me tight
and whisper "it's alright"
Mirror lies and shadow equivocates,
they tell me i'm alive,
yet,i feel dead
and now my only wish !
to bury in your arms
Yes,once I'd pushed you away,
to hide from this world
somewhere safe,
deep inside my head
Maybe I was not strong enough
But darling,can you believe,
how my instincts deceived !
when,the day i left,
all that time running away
from myself
and days and months and years
for all the calls,
i didn't pick
for all the birthdays
i didn't wish
for all your ailing days
when i was not around
to hold you in my arms
Please forgive me,
I aplogize
and one day
if you find me home
unannounced!
please hold me tight
and whisper
"It's ok.
It's alright"
