To all of us
Who have lost someone
To all of us who have lost something
A void, emptiness
A feeling of the no more
And nevermore
To those of us
Who never got a chance
To say I love you
Or I’m sorry
Or I care
To those of us who thought
There would be a tomorrow
Or a next time
To those of us who wish for yesterday
To relay the feelings of today
I say this to you
Do not wait for tomorrow
For what can be said today
Do let pride steal your chance
Do not dream of what you want
Do not wait for anything
To confess what you want to say
Tick Tock
It’s a race against the clock
Time is nothing but a fuse that burns
Convey your thoughts to those you love
For otherwise an empty heart yearns
Empty and unsaid
Thoughts of love
Fall silent upon the ears of the dead
Think about it !

A Child Can Make Any Day...

He lost his woman long ago
Like cupid with an arrow but no bow
Time moves swift but for him it’s slow
Always staring at his two feet
Constantly going against the flow
He walked alone down the street 

His mind racing with a cigarette
Recalling his life but with regret
Wishing to be dry but getting wet
Love once tasted so sweet
Only wanting to forget
He walked alone down the street 

His face was wrinkled old
Like stories often told
Holding his jacket in the cold
As if a soldier in retreat
Life’s so quick to unfold
He walked alone down the street 

Rain begins to fall down fast
He’s hoping to plunge into the past
A child watched him as he passed
Not looking for a win but defeat
Thinking he wont be able to last
He walked alone down the street 

The blue-eyed child chased him down
Splashing the puddles on the ground
As he touched his hand he lost his frown
And his broken view was made complete
The lonely man was finally found
They walked together down the street
