I never knew those glossy eyes
Could tell such great lies to me
I never knew the promises you told
Were merely screens to the lies that were to unfold
I never knew that silent banter
Was a way to conceive acts, to reveal an enticing enchanter
I never knew I would question love
And think all we had was not pure, graceful and simple, like a morning dove
My only sweet escape from this, was the swirled twilight
That formed between the glowing horizon and the tranquil skylight
As I sat there on the tethered rock
I came to a conclusion that I might ironically be mocked for
In general life is a conspiracy of activities to deceive
So join the crowd, before the game is complete
Or in return, for being so humble and veracious, life will equal to a momentous defeat
I wish it would all go away.
the pain
the hurt
the sorrow


This life has enough of the
pain
hurt
and sorrow

More gets added and you don't know how to deal with
the pain
hurt
and the sorrow

Is the love (friendship) real or is it just my imagination
the pain
hurt
and sorrow

A connection so strong like no other
the pain
hurt
and sorrow

When will it all go away when will it stop
the pain
hurt
and sorrow

I just want the love, the friendship and everything that goes with it
even the pain
the hurt
and the sorrow

Just as long as I have you in my life I'll take it all and then some
even the pain
the hurt
and the sorrow

And I'll always be there for you no matter what
through the pain
the hurt
and the sorrow.

I can’t sleep,
Thinking of your face.
It keeps me up nights,
When my body aches
And all I want is
Sleep,
Escape.
I can’t sleep,
Thinking of you.
How we used to be.
How we fought,
And I’d be angry.
And I’d grit my
Teeth and swallow
The words like a bitter
Pill you have to take
In the mornings
But really don’t
Want to.
How I refused to
Hold your hand
Or talk or look at
You.
I can’t sleep,
Thinking of that.
Of how you’d gently
Pull apart my fist
And hold my hand in
Your big fingers.
How you would hold
Me even when I didn't
Want you to.
How our bodies fit
Together like mismatched
Puzzle pieces that
Really shouldn’t fit with
Anything at all,
But fit with each other
Somehow.
I can’t sleep,
Thinking of you.
How I hate myself
For missing us.
For wanting all
We had before,
All the madness
And anger and
Hurt.
But all the love
And happiness
And good-feeling
Stuff, too.
I miss that.
I miss you.

Thank you
For my life
Thank you
For everything
Thank you
For giving
That inner light
For allowing me
To see it in others
I am grateful
For your guidance
Even when
I have fallen away
I am thankful
For the mercy
The grace
And the healing
You bestow upon me
Thanks for answering my prayers
Even if its not exactly what I thought
But more importantly
I want to thank you
For the love you give me
Everyday
My essence has been purified
by chance, I must ask you,
How you are like this,
How can you do so much for me.

You're the reason I have been lifted from the pit,
and why my whole world, has turned to paradise,

I have no need for wishes,
The treasures of far flung kingdoms lie in my lap.

I already cast my spell,
And conjured the greatest spirit of love.
Amazement seeps from your fingers
And your counter spell
Holds me firmly,
I could resist the event horizon
Of a black hole,
Far greater is your gravity.

You are superior to any magic.
To thrive in laughter,
To give birth to mirth
To feel sheltered in affection,
Is to be loved by you.

Your name it does not matter to me,
I know you only as..
My Heaven.
