Dawn

Early mornings are lovely mornings,

when the sky is still so grey.

The night doesn't want to lose its hold,

but the sun wants his way.

 

The air is cool, the chirping sweet,

and there is moisture on my bare feet

as I walk through the grass to my home...my home - the temple of love and joy.

 

Early mornings are lonely mornings

and the sky is Oh! So gray!!

May the night never lose its hold,

and may it never be day.

 

There's eerie silence, and the air is still

as the oil lamp flickers on the window sill,

and I lie on the grass in front of my house...my house - the altar of melancholy.

Forever

Walking away is so easy,
like you walked away, yesterday.
Where does that now leave me,
Can you even hear what I say?

 

I ran across the road, calling out to you,
but you never turned back.
And when you did turn around
I was lying on my back.

 

A thousand times I told you, to control your temper...
Not to walk away, when I'm still talking to you...

 

I saw you last from the hospital bed -
Listless eyes, red from crying,
Hair dishevelled, face white from fear,
and hands nervously twirling the ring.

 

I remember you at the funeral,
Alone among other family members,
Wiping away tears with the back of your hand,
and wishing I'd come back from the dying embers.

 

A thousand times I told you, to be strong...
Not to break down under the pressure life puts on you...

 

It has been a long time,
All have moved on with their lives.
Yet, why do you thrust into my heart,
A thousand chilling knives.

 

Dont tell me you dont miss me,
Dont tell me you dont feel the ache.
Your tear-stained pillow tells me
the pangs of the first heart break.

 

A thousand times I told you, to keep moving ahead...
Not to slow down in life, just because I'm not with you...

 

But you never listened, did you?

 

Now I'm dead and gone, from the face of the earth.
I lived my life and how !!!
But my heart still pains when I think of you,
It takes forever to heal the wounds of love.
