I have no children
The last of my line
Perhaps that's why
I write my rhymes
So some wee bit
Of who I am
Might come out
In my lines
Do you understand
My plight
When I reach my end
There will only be
My lines
No flowers at my plot
To tend
You're the beauty to my beast;
You're the abundance to my least.
You're a sight to behold- for my eyes to feast,
You're the purest prayer to my inner atheist!

You're the salvation to my chains,
You're the cure to my pains;
You're the destination to my unending lanes,
You're the humility to my vain!

You're the perfection to my flaws,
You're the balm to the scratches of my claws;
You're the redemption to my unjust laws-
You're unaware of my being, yet I'm truly yours!

You will never know of my existence,
You will never be the prey to my persistence!
You will be spared of all my obsessions-
And stay aloof to all my confessions.
Because:-
You're the life to my death,
Yet the irony is- I'm the one who still isn't out of breath!
Allow me a second to collect my tears
Couldn't bear to waste a drop
They smell like memories, they smell like you
A room full of vials that I dare not open
Suffocated just by the thought

Poisoned eyes, mesmerized
By broken lies
Capitalized, magnified
In order to poison, eyes
We compromise, all this time
Repeating broken lies
Capitalized, magnified
In order to poison, eyes
Inspired by Guns 'n' Roses song called 'Civil War'
"History hides the lies of our civil wars"

I played with all the tenses
but that also never changed what
was
is
could have been
or
will be

I know
You care about me
10 more people do
Yet I can't get rid
Of this feeling
Of doom

I know
I have you
10 more people too
Yet I can't find a person
To talk to
late at night
