Broken Wings
When i love, trust and respect you it doesn't mean I can't be cruel.
When i keep quiet and let your words sting,it's not like I couldn't be rude.
It's because I love you and I don't want you to see my other hue.
I don't do things for pity
Like most people in the city,
I don't choose doing things by simplicity,
I follow my heart so far it makes me happy and I don't care if i ended up in d dark.
Don't I deserve the right to be bad?
Even if it gets everyone mad?
No, I don't. I'm made of fine stuff and my manners tell me I shouldn't be rough.
Here I stand in a world shroud in thick darkness
While my heart wails loudly and my ears can't pick the sounds,
My body shake vehemently while my head tells me I'm lost.
Tears sting my eyes while my cheeks feel the warm torrent.
Oh my! How did I end up with broken wings?
Yet, I didn't partake in activities called flings.
Is it a crime to have trusted and believed so much in you?
Oh,where then is the love?
Another old poem! I remember this one...youthful exuberance?
