You Saved Me

YOU SAVED ME

I was there all alone
scared of the lights from the sky
afraid that soon I might die,
but I asked who would cry,
scream till the sky bleeds,
because I am the only reason she lives,
loves and doesn’t commit suicide?
Who will be by my bed side?
As I blinked the sky opened, 
clouds backing from their crime, 
hiding happy days with tears.
The sun lit, showing it always cares, 
here to warm me and light my days
so I find my hands when I decay.

Changes

CHANGES

The day begins with promises, 
from the east as the sun rises, 
it has hope that to all it carries, 
lighting our way from bitterness, 
that we wish to leave with yesterday.
The promise to shine away the pain, 
bring smiles and joy to its prey 
that it feeds from everyday.
Then the wind changes its direction, 
twisting smiles into smirks, 
clouds try to get each other’s attention, 
light shines from the grey sky,
threatening to take life by a flash.
Then the blue hides under grey, 
then small drops of tears of the sky.
That is how love passes by.

My Wife

MY WIFE

Every night I close my eyes,
every night I dose at stars,
see the beauty that never dies,
dream of her brown eyes
that light my days of happiness
hear her voice that cheers sadness
listen close to her words of encouragement
promising me my whole life’s entertainment,
but I wake up every morning grumpy,
sad that the day is longer than the night
in which she exist and shines bright,
brighter than the spot light,
that i use to see the smile in my heart
and all i see is sad nights when i don’t dream that.

The Best I Ever Had

THE BEST I EVER HAD
The smile that brightens my days
The hands that wipe off my tears
Brown eyes that create happiness
Dimples that hide the pain inside.
The heart that loves deep inside,
You the friend always on my side,
The love that lives in my mind.
only saying your name creates a smile,
That does not fade in our minds,
Always here though there are miles
Keeping us apart and in each other’s minds.
You the best I ever had,
The one I will never hurt,
But tease just to remind her of pain,
That brought us together in the same grain
Flushed all of it remained fully sane,
Cared of each other, 
And faced the world together.
To see her smile makes all better,
Which is why I would never hurt her.

Here and There

HERE AND THERE

Back in the golden days,
Rich as the grave yard,
Always thinking of my wicked ways,
Pain feared as a bluffing card,
Laughing Love away as it comes,
Running away as it approaches,
seeking benefits from broken souls,
though all seems I am that broken soul.
Looking at her beautiful soul I got glued, 
From the beginning crushed this is the interlude, 
Today my heart filled with trust and hope,
Things without I should not cope,
Then she smiles and happiness rises,
In a slope love for her grows within.

The Decision

THE DECISION

I saw how hard it was for both of us,
I realised that what we had didn’t last,
I spoke to myself confused at last,
Took one glimpse at the situation,
 and wanted to act fast.
I did not want it to happen that way,
I never wanted to leave you but couldn’t stay,
I sounded confident but felt stupid,
For letting the love I always wanted decay,
but truth is I will never forget that day.
Sun rising everyday and stars shining every night,
how much you liked the sky,
milky during the day and I wishing to die.
Sending night lights to watch you like spies,
then enjoy the tears of the sky when it cries.
Sad because the beautiful day is gone,
Sad because the love it saw is gone,
broken into pieces just to make a thorn,
that will stab the loved ones to death.
So they feel the pain they caused to the sky.
The decision easy to make,
some say not easy to tell it to thee mate
some say normally made late
but I was too early that is why I hate,
hate who I became after the last debate.
This hard to say but I miss you,
not the you that I always fight to,
not the you that I am used to,
but the you I was attracted to,
the you before I actually knew you,
the you I would say to “I LOVE YOU”
and actually really do.

The Crying Games

THE CRYING GAMES

We trusted each other before, 
noticing each other’s flaws, 
listened to outsiders laws, 
about how to keep us off the floor, 
maybe they were right.
But did they have the right, 
to tell us about the love we had to write, 
so our legacy can begin with us, 
the main characters of our past, 
the future that we trying to build, 
to present about our life and all we did.
Do we really want this life,
am I the desperate one crying for love,
that can never exist as long as I am alive
or I am not strong enough
to hold on to the pain till it’s true love.
The game we all want to survive, 
if we all have a common goal, 
how do we decide who needs more?
Why do I fight for love though?
If we were made for each other’s soul
then why are we hard to find?
To seek the true love is hard, 
like an endangered species to its kind, 
how long will I will cry behind, 
closed doors that won’t tell or lie.
Is my love also endangered, 
I pray to find it before I am murdered.
