Love, so colourful and magical yet blind at first
changes just as swiftly as the seasons change,
love perspires ever slowly and inapparently,
till it is lacklustre and lost in the air forever,
Replaced with pretence for the sake of old times,
masking uninterestedness with a fake curiosity.
Lies come freely as one tries not to be obnoxious.
But seemingly, both are trying not to be insolent,
with both professing about love in the air tonight,
even when neither feel even a pinch of it in heart.

Just as quickly as I quiver
I bounce back into action
Slowly replacing the fraility
With ounces of relentlessness

Don't listen to that voice
The one within your mind
That tells you everything is going to be okay

Because it's not

You know it's not

You struggle every day and every night
Always tired of this fight
It draws you in and lures you too far
Then you're trapped and there's no going back
So why bother?

Why bother?
Why care?
It's not like anyone is there
To hear you cry out for help
Or to see you reach out desperately

So you sit there and you cry

Until the one you truly love comes along
To pull you back from the depths of the hell within your head

Long cold blue days,
The Sun hides behind,
Letting the cold whoosh over
Got no blanket to hide in,
Stripped off every shield,
Cuts made even on the naked,
The burn and chill all at once,
Going down an abyss,
Stitching the torn bits,
Climbing slowly the steps
Only to fall right back on face
The very soul screaming,
Pain, misery unbearable,
Longing to break the cycle,
To vanquish the looming darkness.
Yet steadfast in pursuit of dreams,
Holding on to the slipping hope
That the long night would be over
And the Sun would rise tomorrow.
