Ghost In My Attic and Underneath

Marching through my yard
heard whispers from the house of the dead
veiling in my attic
at the night
alone, yet with all my might,
hoping to watch the daylight
soon tucked myself on the bed 
wondering the stories never told by uncle Fred
there I listen something again
something is watching me from the attic
scared 
trying to shut my eyes
sounds again 
I screamed 
and something just ran underneath my bed
slowly I dared to look down
there I found my long lost cheese thief
the mice with its family at ease
laughing to myself I lowered back to sleep

New Beginings

Never say no
Even when you are nervous about the start
Wait and watch
Begin to enjoy
Even when your scared of not knowing your path
Give in your best to explore
In this beginning of yours
No-never let it be your answer, just go
Never be scared to step out of your boundaries
It’s okay to not know your destination
Never worry, just 
give in your best
Sure, the ending is as beautiful as the setting sun

Sorry to our love

I can never be everything you wanted me to be
You wished for us to hold hands together
With me, you should always be holding my hand
I want to change for better
But Can't help moments between us
They are taking me back to my dark past

In denial with your love
It is sad for me too
In love with you was true
But scared of losing me is way more true
It's quite a choice between you or me? 

I know choosing “you” would be easy 
It will hurt less number of people
Restore happiness in an entire family
Help you relieve a bottle of joy.

“Me”, will just be hurting me
But I can't lose myself to live with you
I can't feel us if 
I can't feel me
I can't do this anymore

I don't need time, I don't need anything
All I need is for you to be happy
Just saw your face now, all sad and teary, 
Knowing the reason is what we had!

I regret saying yes in the first place
The little reckless me was up before a thoughtful me
Silly I was to say yes,
Without knowing how things at worst might be

Well!! They're gonna suck!
And I wanna fall out of the loop
Before I am dragged in
Cause I am pretty sure I can never come back
Out of it this time.

To me, letting you go is
my best thing and my only thing I can do for us.
Truly, I am sorry for loving you and 
making you fall in love with me again.

I know I said NO

It's 3 AM 
On the 23rd of March, 
Not even a full day
After I said no
I know 
I said it
But I just don't know 
Why you never came back
You promised to never be tired of me
To never leave 
And to never give up on me
You said you won't be like men before

I broke you so many times 
You always got back together 
Made me feel warmer happier 
And made me find my peace
But somewhere in between 
You were losing you
Maybe, I believe so 
I am glad you left me too
Not this time when I said break up
But last time 
The very first time 
You said
You were done with me
Maybe that was the moment 
I lost the love of my life 
I lost the one I wanted to be for life
I lost my best friend 
I lost my biggest cheer leader 
I lost my one person, I always go back to 
For good or bad, for sharing a bit of happiness 
Or a bitter sad story

Ughh!! 
I listened to the goodnight you sent me months ago, 
Glad I didn't delete the texts, 
But somehow 
A story without starting with a “so" 
Was hard to find online as well 
I just couldn't sleep 
I know I said no, 
And I should have struck with it 
The very first time I said it 
Now it's no, 
But holds so much I never knew 
I could give anyone 
I didn't just lose a somebody in my life 
I lost a fine moment and man from my life
A void no one can ever fill 
A void I can never get out from
Not anymore 
But I know the no I said 
Means a lot more 
I respect that and yeah, 
maybe 
I am done
 
Or we are both just done too
Finally.
