KNOWING YOU, KNOWING ME

You love someone or you don’t love someone, heartbreak is on its way

Even when you are denied what you want, life has a way of making you stay

You complain about or shout aloud, reasons are wasted afterthoughts

What has been said or done to death and gone, the things you ought

To have missed or hit, turn back and look at your pity self once again

Before you can decide your own fate, life will leave you behind its pain

You took a break and shook your head, in a state of worldly wise wisdom

Where you landed, where you feel stuck, is once again the forsaken kingdom

You made promises or heard them uttered by some distant voices so near

The enemy far away who resides in you knows exactly whom or what you fear

You dug your own grave, garlanded your own photograph, shed a tear too

It was your funeral, your final goodbye, but you were already out of you

So cheers to you for living a life like an audience sitting through a film

The reels rolled by and reached the end; you were stuck in your own realm

Spectator of your own life, tell me if you saw what you really were inside

Were the lies white or the truth black? From you could you ever hide?

Did life did justice or did it cheat on you and left you feeling lonely and sad?

Or you knew all the ‘right’ ways but just chose to live ‘wrong’ and bad

Is there a way for me to conclude in just few simple sentences or chapters?

Or do you think your life will need a 1000 paged-book, fact-of-the-matter?


You lead your life in such a way; unwritten, unscripted thoughts and emotions

Just passed through its moments of rhythm with deep yet careless devotion

When I put my pen to paper no single word or image takes form at all

I’m just in the moment and the moment seem to last forever long

You conquer me within and I know, it’s you I long for and to whom I belong
