Let yourself free from this world of sadness where your thoughts afloat and your anxieties grab your soul and push you further into the dark.
Let yourself free from the tiny shell that you have confined yourself in.
Let yourself free from the company of your best friend, loneliness. Let go of her, move on for once.
Let yourself free from all this mess, from your materialistic self.
Let yourself free.
For once atleast.
If the world was against you, and you stood at a little corner of the world, I would come with my sword all ready, to fight for you.
If you found yourself on the verge of dying, on the verge of drowning in the sea, don’t worry. I’d sail across all oceans, fight the biggest of waves, to save you.
If you stood at the mountain top, on the verge of tumbling down to your death, I’d climb the highest of the hills, I’d soar above the clouds, to protect you.
If you find yourself standing on a broken bridge, about to fall , I’ll be there to catch you.
If you had to die in a war tomorrow, I’d stand next to you like an armour, to defend you.
If you had no one to have a talk with, no one to lend you a shoulder to cry on, I’d come for you, I’ll be there for you.
No matter where you are, whenever in trouble, I’ll search for you and I’ll find you.
Because I believe in you.
My eyes hurt from the tears that I’d shed this morning. The tears I shed last night as well. I was all happy, until I heard you say, goodbye. My heart ached, and I started to cry.
How much my soul sinked, you’ve got no idea, when you left me in the middle of nowhere. I cried, cried and cried. But you seemed to take no notice of that.
I wonder what happened to my happily ever after.What happened to the perfect life that I’d imagined ahead of me?What happened to my life, what happened to me? What happened to you?
There was a time when we were inseparable. So perfect. So together. Now the tears that my eyes shed say, how lonely I really am. How lonely, I am gonna be, now that you’re gone.
My soul, tries.
My heart, dies.
My eye, cries.
Wake me up, when we’re done.
No longer in this war that we earlier begun.
Wake me up, as this gets over.
No one bitter; just love leftover.
Wake me up, as soon as we progress.
When we get up, get over this mess.
Wake me up, as we finish it for ever.
Even if we die in attempts to endeavour.
Wake me up, when I no longer see them dead.
All good, as we move ahead.
Wake me up, when everythin’s alright.
Back in shape, as we give up the fight.
Wake me up, as my kid arrives.
My wife no longer praying that I survive.
Wake me up, when we finally act sane.
Not the monsters, that suck on brains.
Wake me up, when everyone’s fine.
Celebrating the win, chucking on wine.
Wake me up, when we’re no longer in pain.
As the war, dies again.
Wake me up, when we all end up alive.
As through the situation, we soon contrive.
Wake me up, as we unite.
And if we reach back our homes tonight.
I have never been loved.
Why do you feel so? Replied the boy.
I don’t have a hand to hold this fall. With the leaves that are shedding, shed my self confidence and hope. No one to wipe my tears and say that I’m pretty. Look me into the eyes with utmost love, embrace my flaws and promise to love me till the next fall and many more. No one. None.
But what if you’re not able to see the love through your despairing eyes?
Am I really that unfortunate to not sense the love that exists? Am I really that flawed to not notice the one who loves(me)?
Not unfortunate, my love. Just despaired. He thought.
Look at those unfortunate trees, shedding the leaves with teary eyes but with the hope that they’ll retreat the next spring.
Well I have no one to hope for to come back. No one to say goodbye to, with the hope that they’ll come back.
The one who actually loves, will never leave, Susan. You wouldn’t ever have any goodbyes to give, a kiss to spare, or a hand to wave. Believe me. He’ll stay. All you have to do is remain like a tree, waiting for your hope and love to grow back like the leaves. Said the boy to the girl he loved.
Well, will you?
Will I what?
Will you stay?
Yes, had I loved you. He said, with a voice almost cracking, sweaty palms and teary eyes.
She cried a little and he smiled.
As he left for Vietnam, he waved at her as she waved back and he turned his head. She waved while muttering a love you behind his back.
As he muttered a love you too.
And so she waited like a tree in the fall, seeing her favourite flower gloom, waiting for the spring to come and bring him along.

I was running past my insecuries,
Dodging my fears,
Defeating my anxieties,
And getting over those tears.
I ran all the way through,
Survived the darkest of nights,
With a faith pure and untrue,
I fought as long as I could fight.
Soon, I realized that I was in a mess,
You weren’t the just the one, I found.
Stay away from him they’d suggest.
I couldn’t realize in time; I stand astound.
Yes, fault in our stars,
Blame on whatsoever you feel,
‘Coz we were never together; just apart,
You just behold as I conceal.
Our rendezvous was a mistake,
It shouldn’t have been this way,
We began a beginning that was fake,
And so I waited, until you betrayed.
I still wonder…
Were we ever meant to be?
As my life turns into a blunder,
My heart shatters into a million piece.
Yes, we never had a thing,
Love among us? Can’t recall.
Just running, chasing and mourning,
Sure that isn’t what love’s called.
Yes, we are no more us,
Just You and I,
You caused what it is now and thus,
It’s my turn to defy.
