My Voice Within

Voice # 1 - Missing You

Man with his idiosyncrasies have many ways of coping,

I, for the love of me, would rather keep you than see you leaving,

Caring less about things that hurt or things that made me cry,

Hailing not the people who stayed behind and encouraged me to fly,

Even when the pain creeps into my veins and cuts into my breath,

Ludicrously playing between the pain of life and the joy of death,

Listen to me is all I plead_ I beg you to hear this heart that bleed.

A tenacious pain kept pushing, taunting my very being,

Now I cry asking, why me? Why am I drowning_

Nay, I do not wish to go, I do not wish to move,

Ease the pain will you? Talk to me, tell me, let me prove.

Cursed, am I cursed? How long do I live this way?

Reckoning every word, every move, every breath, every song I play,

Unsure of every beat, of every smile, of every friend, of every care,

Zeal for love, I seek acceptance of the person behind the mask I wear.

Reproached by the rejection, pained by the obnoxious thoughts that invaded my mind,

Obtusely I do stupid things in order to fill-in the answers I want to find,

Questioning why I deserve the treatment I am imposed to be in,

Untiringly, I waited for you to look back and think about the things we have been,

Err not my motive for I only miss you_ I wish you miss me too.
