හමුවිනි මට තොටියෙක්
ඇතිව ලයෙහී ඇනුණු සිරියක්
අසා සිටි කල දිවි පවත
පිලිවදත් දිනි භෙනෙම

තනනු වස් මිහිමත ස්වර්ගයක්
වෙහෙස වෙමි දිව රෑ
මිනිසුන් අතර යේසුස්
සැරිසරයි  රුදුරු බෘෘටස්

Ari
please
get out of my head.
get
out
of
my
head!

it's so painful to have you here
yet i'm always fighting for you to stay
so do me a favor
just get out
i know you don't care
you don't act like it
you ignore me
you neglect me
you reject me
and yet you said you loved me?

how could you?
to be honest..
how could i?
to fall for your lies...
i'm such a **** fool
why do i love you? it makes no sense
i have to block you for some peace, until i come crawling back in hopes of gaining your attention

it hurts so much
all of this,
caring about you.
i'm crying so much
i took my glasses off
i can barely see the screen on which i'm typing
almost like i can barely see my feelings as something important to you

sigh
i have so much to do
homework
studying
meditation
i even have a potential relationship
and yet i can't do any of it
none of it keeps my focus
why?
because of you!
why can't you listen to my plead?
i don't know

Please,
Just!
Get!
Out!
Of!
My!
Head!

before i blow you out with a bullet.
i needed to vent badly
If you love someone
That doesn't mean
You expect things in return
If you care, someone
It doesn't mean
Need a payback.

When you whisper the affection
The words are words you express
But the meaning is beyond the words
It remains deeply within

If you don't mean
What you utter softly
Then you don't cheat anybody
Other than yourself

Life you chose and abide
Shared everything
Thinking and inking which
A pen writing blood red

Love and living is balancing
One leaves the other off balance
Even though waiting alone
Difficult to keep the balance

The love is what you say
But that means you have passion
The trust you present in words
And you're entrusted

Kiss and hug is overt,
Trust and care is inert
No one's able to hurt
And you always live alert !
වස්සානයක ගලා යන්නට ඉවුරු තලයක පෙති       ලිහී
නියං සමයක රුදුරු ලෙස පතුළම දකී ඒ         ගඟුලෙහී
මාවතක උයනක දෙඩූ තෙපුළක අරුත සොයනා     එහී
සයුරු මුවදොර උරාගත් රස මතකයෙන් නම් නොගිලිහී

අඳුර දැක අතපත ගගා දොර විවර කරගත්          එළියකී
එළිය සඟවා රිදුණු හද ගොලු කරන සීතල          වතුරකී
පැසව පැසවා තබන පද‘රුත් නැතිව අමුණන     පිරුළකී
වතමඬල දැකුමත් නොවන්නට කිහිරඟුරු       ආකරයකී

විඳින හිරිහැර විඳිමි උමතුව ගියද අරුතක් මට          ඇතී
සිහින ලොව මැද දකිමි සඳදිය දෝවනය කර පැන   යතී
පරණ වූ වගවිත්ති අප හැර කිසිවකුත් දන්නේ        නැතී
අරුණ උදයක අවදිවන්නට පවා සුවඳක් ළඟ          ඇතී

ඉකි ගසා පල නැත දෙනෙත් අග කදුළු කැට වියළී   යතී
මග අසා මඳ දුරක් ගිය කල මිරිගුවකි මග නොම      දකී
තටු ගසා ඉගිලෙන්න සැරසෙන පෙමාදරයක     විහඟකී
සදාකාලික අඳුර වෙත පැන පළා යනු බැරි         බැඳුමකී
The poem is in Sinhala language. I would like to translate it later, for the English readers.
i want to say things
but i am dumb
need a little time to explain
but my attempt in vain
at least to see things
no sight beyond
i want to run
crippled i feel
i want to shut my eyes
then it comes
just like a film
to try further
to trash the pain within
i am lost
when i want to sleep
i stay awake
when trying to awake
from a dream, i lived
oh it really hurts
but i feel myself
tolerate the bitterness
of being an outsider
* * *
you might have said it
just like a greeting
but i believed it
no more exit
oh this is solitude
a single heart beating
a single life cheating
but i do declare
still, my life goes on!
You take revenge - we have courage
You take your side - we the masses
You stop voices - we gather more
Take more rest - but we can't

Betray struggle - we never do that
Yet we are not left alone
You live a peaceful life
We rather die in the streets...!

In the line of duty - yes its dignity
And in the path of struggle
We may fall and defeat
Nor our voice - neither courage fall.
I declare retreat
In order to fight back
Defeated in life, exhausted in battle
Go into wilderness alone
Solitude, ah my only companion
Creeping sorrow in heart
Bleeding tears down the chest
Eyesight is blurred but
I wipe my eyes and count nails
Stuck in my wrists bleeding
Cannot go on like this

I declare retreat
Not that courage lost
Neither lost my destiny
For the time being
I retreat, with my weapens
Hide them safely deeply
Keep my head straight
Still I feel the pain in the middle
Somewhere back in the route
An arrow penetrated the cage of ribs
Then keep my lips tight
Except for wild fruits

I declare retreat
But, do not expect my return
Not for the time being
For I am going to learn
Learn from what  I  experienced
Learn from past and pain
Heal my offended heart
Practice life again
A period of self-criticism
Study the solitude
Keep the silence

I declare retreat
Yes at last but not least
I might return with my full force
I resurrect with others
Those who bled with
A hole in the chest
Those who gasped
The last breath
Amidst burning tyres
Inhale that breath into chest
Inflame my courage with
Heat that they burnt alive
Yes, definitely I return!
