A teardrop from her eyes taught me what pain means,
A smile on her face taught me what joy really means,
Her presence gave me peace,
Her absence showed me how loneliness feels,
Time made me appreciate all her efforts,
Life made me see how cruel it can be, without her by my side.
I sailed the whole universe to realize that, home is wherever she is.

You are long gone, but your memory is still here.
I should move on, but how can I do it
when,
The night is you,
The moon is you.
When,
Every breath I take reminds me of you,
Every place I go resembles you,
When,
My heart is your home,
My brain speaks your name.
How can I move on, when you are every piece of me.

Night comes fixing on the day,
And the sun is gone again.
He sit by his phone waiting,
He lays down waiting,
He looks at the ceiling waiting,
A light covers his room and his heart skips a beat,
He rushes to his phone faster than his heart beat,
A word from his loved one wakes up the butterflies inside him.

Love grew like a cancer in my chest,
It is killing me slowly while holding me alive.
How can something this sweet hurt so bad,
Is it love to blame or our choices.
It is reaching my brain,
Leading to sleepless nights.
Life was sweet before I met you,
Now it is bittersweet.

Drowning in my own self reflection,
How can someone be a stranger to himself,
Am I me or am I what society turned me into.
Looking at the one in the mirror,
Wondering how life changed him when he was supposed to be the one who changes it.
Voices filling up my head telling me how to act and who to be,
Are those my own or someone else’s.
He screamed asking for silence, but the voices got louder and louder till it turned his screams into whispers.
All he ever wanted was to be who he is, but now he is the one in the mirror.

Black and white was my life before I met you,
Now flowers blossom in my heart.
Black is the days I don’t see you,
White is the nights I dream of you,
Blue is the teardrop on your cheek,
Yellow is your sparkling eyes,
Green is my life when you are by my side,
And red is my love for you.

Words betrayed me when I looked into your eyes,
They were in my mind but didn’t reach my tongue,
They were in my heart but couldn’t get out,
They are on the tip of my pen and now they are in my poems.
