I was with you in your pain
I was with you in your heartbreak
I was with you in your sorrow
But I guess I'm just a caretaker

I brought you joy in your gloom
I brought you hope in your dark hole
I brought you comfort in your anguish
Yet, I'm just a caretaker

Now he's back, picking up from where he left off
Now he's back, seeing you at your best
Now he's back to make you his
I guess I'm just a caretaker

When he goes, I'll be here to wipe your tears
When he goes, I'll be here to hold you up.
When he goes, I'll be here to make you smile again.
Yes, I'm just the caretaker

I awaken to a sound
I sit up slowly and look around
The room is full of shadows
The gloom makes them dance but none of that matters
I tell myself it's all in my head
And the fact the previous owner was found last year dead
In this very same bed
Is making me jumpy and grabbing a bat
I walk to the hallway instead
Lead by my own fears but trying to face them
And looking down at the long stairs
It's dark at the bottom but I try not to care
I think I see movement below
Do I stay here, put on a brave show
The answer I already know
As I run to my room and now lock the door
It's ok to call the police
They could drive by and look in at least
I quickly get under the sheets
And sit there a moment shaking in fear
I turn on the light on my phone
And that's when I realise that I'm not alone

You will forever,
Be my always

My love;
you’ve told me you wish
to curl up inside my brain
and live amongst its thoughts.

But,
I am utterly convinced
that you constructed it as if
it were the great Pyramids,
and my thoughts as company;
would just be
a million copies of you.

Gone are the days
When laughter was a constant
Gone are the days
When photographs weren’t yellow
Gone are the days
When it was easy to love
Gone are the days
Of promiscuity and senseless passion.

Every moment held with bated breath
Every sunrise led to your morning texts
Every memory I hold of you
A whisper of my love for you
Every minute, every second
Every inch of my sinew and skeleton
Sing songs of love and longing
When I'm not with you.

Your faith unrelenting
Your love uncompromising
Every silence, every kiss
Like a solemn, sweet promise

My love for you tears me and wears me
And makes me anew
It makes me and breaks me
And changes me for you
For the better or for the worse
I will always be true to you
Beyond the end of days.
Always.

All I have ever
wanted is to have my own
love story... but I
guess even that one thing is
too much to ask, isn't it?

I would do everything she would ask,
Because  shes someone who has always hidden her pain with a mask,
Without seeing her my day is incomplete,
Because she’s  the reason why my heart beats .

For me she’s someone who has sacrificed everything ,
Because  she’s more powerful than a king,
For what she has done I would bend all day to touch her feet,
Because she’s the reason why my heart beats.

Sometimes she kills her wishes to complete mine,
Even when she’s sick she says  she’s fine,
From skipping her meals to make me eat,
She always gives a reason for why my heart to beat.

Whenever she sees me crying,
I see the inner her dying ,
Because  she’s  the one who feels the heat,
She’s truly the reason why my heart beats.

The day I was born,
There was a lady who got all her smiles on,
She was the first one to take me in her hand,
And till date she has always taken my stand.
I can’t ever thank her enough,
Because she gave my heart a reason to beat.
