Life has been cruel to me
and to the people I hold dear,
Forcing us to be good
With the wrong motive: out of fear.
As they project on us
versions of their own misery,
Leading us to believe
we took part of such tragedy.
All of this has taught me
that we all take love for granted,
Clouded with false thoughts
Unaware of what is wanted.
Though with them hurting us
we actually learn to become,
The strongest survivors
and to their pain, we will be numb.
On my fingers, I could count
The number of days we passed.
Halfway through--you held my hand
Towards a heavenly land.
Which only you and I share
Under cloudy sheets of stars,
Representing our love
As divine as what's above.
A new year has begun
And I still hesitate,
In a war of choices
That could change my fate.
To better or to worse
Is not my main concern,
But hurting others do
And that, you can't return.
Before tragedy, my tears stream
With a disguise of fake reasons,
That my brain made up to trick me
Until my heart -from life- ceases.
Which proves my state of denial
And the way it hurts--once again,
So I guess I will get used to
Yearning for you, which I still feign.
Life with no love is
A tragic thing,
Yet I disapprove
When its wounds sting,
That I carry not
Which we can't feel,
Since we were built to
Only us--heal.
So if you love me
Prepare to fight,
For the beast inside
Which you can't bite.
Because I grew sick
Of changing me,
For people that fear
My fiend; and flee.
Beware of intentions
When love takes its place,
Else we would let mistakes
Have a bigger space.
You need not to explain
An action with speech,
If their views do not meet
What you wish to teach.
When I asked for love
It came in a box,
Packaged with your lies
So I changed my mind.
Then I asked for love
In a different way,
So guess what happened?
I fed you my lies.
