Will Turn You Back

Thought I would send you back and never look back
Thought i would burn you out of the memories
and scatter the ashes in the wind to fly
Could do nothing and only the pain remained
On those thin lips of your's there are so many promises
But, I should turn you back again...
And Let the forbidden love be kept enclosed...
Hundreds of springs have passed away and I have kept my sleep away
A happy person would never understand the pain of a "poet"
Dreams give dawn to false hopes
I have kept them enclosed, hidden deep within,
I won't come out shining like a knight in a golden armour
It would have been good if we could hold back time
But the journey slowly comes to an end 
The sky is getting broken, dawn peeps through the night
I am strong still 
May you also gain the strength
Inside those brooding eyes so many stories lie
But, I should still turn you back...
let the flame flicker and die
its only the roads that are barren for travellers to tread upon while the side walks have always been lined with trees
