Roses are fine,
Violets upset.
My body is numb.
My heart so dead.
Roses are fine,
Violets upset.
My body is numb.
My heart so dead.
I saw you guys dancing around, I saw him fling you in his arms,
I couldn’t help but wonder if I could take his place,
‘Cause wishing couldn’t harm.
You’d be staring at him in wonder, staring at him in awe,
While I’ll be standing in a corner, with my love pure and raw.
I would watch you guys everyday, see you walking around hand-in-hand,
While I’d be standing in the rain, drenched near a bus stand.
You’d be sitting next to him in the car,
While I’ll be somewhere quite afar.
I’ll just keep wishing that you’d be mine,
Just praying that our relationship would refine.
I knew that I could treat you better, I knew he didn’t deserve you
But you were so blinded by his love that you just had no clue.
He just had you as a doll, just a toy to play,
I knew for sure that he’ll leave you one day.
He left you soon enough, just as I had foreseen,
Just like you I wonder, how could he be so mean?
He broke your heart into a million pieces while I was ready with a glue in my hand,
I just wanted to fix you, just making you okay was my plan.
I don’t know if it’s right to even think like that, but I secretely hoped that now you should be with me instead.
I kept on thinking about that, the thought was now roaming inside my head.
I approached you with flowers and a hope in my heart,
But who knew our mindsets were so apart.
It took all the courage in me to finally confess,
Only Lord knows, how hard I was trying to impress.
You looked at me with hurt in your eye,
For all I knew, you’d let out a cry.
But there was still a hope alive inside,
Now it was just for you to decide.
You rejected the flowers and gifted me with your words,
Something I wish I had simply misheard.
And then all my hopes, everything came to an end,
As soon as you said, “Lets just be friends.”
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.
Has it ever been that you’ve stopped just a step before you were about to do something? Have you ever stopped being yourself, caring for yourself and cared about others’ opinions instead? Have you ever stopped dreaming? Have you ever stopped living?
Deep down, you’ll realize…that yes, it’s true. You have, each moment, each minute, each second of your life, stopped doing what you’ve wanted to. Stop trying , for what you could have achieved and won.
People will speak the shit they wanna. Will let you down, will try to chop off your wings. But don’t listen to their opinions. Fly, as above the sky you can. Swim the deepest of oceans. Spread your wings like an angel, and soar above the sky. Run, walk, crawl, but just don’t stop moving ahead.
In this little world where everything’s expensive, my heart was available for free; unused, full of feelings, full of emotions.
And yes, you took it all by yourself. I expected you to give me yours but you left me bare, all bare.
But for all I could have ever known was that I was gonna get it back one day. All used, all shattered, all torn.
My heart was torn, so you give it back. Hers wasn’t, so you took it instead and kept it all by yourself. But in the midst of all this, it wasn’t just my heart I realized that I was regretful of giving you. It was more of my trust. My trust, not in you though. But in me. It had been my faith in myself that had compelled me to give you my heart. Now it lies here, all shattered and ruined.
