Friendship Unending

“Unending friendship, 
though not transparent has been proved right, 
through several tests and uncountable inference.
Just like a cloth pulled inside out having the blueprint,
yet hard to understand, but yet, friendship unending, 
though not transparent proved right, 
through several tests and uncountable inference…”

Soldier Struggle

The days the nights didn’t mean a thing, 
the good the bad and me in between, 
the war the fights I took no sides, 
I watched life fall to death.
the weak the strong I took no sides, 
I fought both for and fought against.
The leaders the followers I neither love nor hate, 
the winners the losers I play fair with nor cheat. 
The rules the guide the game’s the same, 
for men for soldiers who come and go, 
I watched them fight dark and light.
For those for some who fought but for, 
ended up with those with all who fight against.
For those for all who fought against, 
all failed and knew what reason for.
For those for all who passed the test, 
were neither last to do so nor the first.
So I learnt this war it meant, 
this uniform I wear, this victory unclear, 
the weapons the armor didn’t mean a thing, 
the task the mission impossible it seemed, 
the days the nights seemed waste of time, 
a waste of time the months the years.
The oath I swore the pledge I made, 
the battles I fought didn’t mean a thing, 
I fought both for and fought against.

If Love Doesn'T

If love doesn't love anymore, I will love you. 
If the sound of it makes you feel sad and blue, 
if it brings sore memories that hurts real bad, 
if it seems like a charade, and turns you off...
I'll find some other way some how to show I care, 
if all ever fails you I won't, if love doesn't love you, I will...

Of Author

Draw me shaded with pencil,
or paint me with oil on canvas.
Then look at the picture, 
and let others get the chance to when you’re done,
have even critics by for observation,
they won’t be of the same opinion.
Draw me shaded with pastel,
or paint me with watercolor on paper.

Hang In There

I know it's uneasy, but you've got to keep trying.
No matter how long you've been loosing, 
maybe someday you'll be a winner.
So you've got to keep loving, 
no matter how many times you've been heart broken,
maybe one day you'll find that person for you, 
or maybe not, 
but you can't give up, believing.

They Said

I see things clearer than i did before, 
don’t even try, 
someone already beat you to it, 
you wanna damage more of what’s broken,
you’ve been warned.

He said to her it all seems pointless, 
people aren’t true to themselves... 

I mean it this time it’s over,
you had your chance but wasted it.

She said to him, people do make mistakes, 
we’re only humans...

Some People

I’m hurting and unwilling to share, 
don’t ask why unless you want me to lie.

You’re lucky to figure it out, 
people make people do what they don't wanna,
ask who’ll be there no matter the weather,
when i hear excuses, 
i tell them, 
don’t complain too when i can’t...

When It Is Not Or Whether It Is Yours

When all seems lost and you’re hopeless.
When it’s like nothing possible could be done 
for the helpless.
When it seems like mistakes cannot be corrected.
When you feel like letting go 
cause you can take it any longer.
When you begin to ask yourself why, 
is there anything still left worth the try.
When you think know it and you don’t.
When nothing happens like you want.
It is when the going gets tough, 
you get tough going.

If Life Had Price

If life had a price would you buy it?
Those who can’t afford to pay, long for it.
Nobody’s ever mentioned what the fee is. 
Even the dead, keep it secret from the living.
So when I dream, 
it’s not about nightmares but of wishes, 
and I sleep hoping to wake up.
That’s why if life had a price I would pay it, 
no matter what it cost to purchase it.
But if I can’t afford it, 
well like everyone else I’ll have to forget about it.

Never Enough

Even thousands of miles away, 
your love will always be in my heart to stay.
Even though I can't reach out to you today, 
day and night I feel you everyday.
Even the pleasures or pressures of life, 
could not stop me from loving you.
There’s something about you that's always new, 
and I can never get enough of you.
