A Search Beyond Truth

Life

I guess i never knew life,
Like I know it now,
Never understood the subtle ironies,
That it throws at you.
Like the empty feeling I took for depression,
Quantised it with my hollow words,
And now that I truly seek them,
The words elude me.

I guess I never knew love,
When I fell in love with you,
Life dragged me, threw me, punched me,
To show me what love really is,
And then when I felt love for the first time,
There was no You left.
And when I searched for words to express,
The words eluded me.

I wanted to play the guitar,
To narrate my hollow feeling,
I bought one, i threw it away,
Borrowed another, gave it back.
And now that it's gone,
I remember it all.
But the more and more I search,
The tunes just remain silent.

I wanted to live life,
So I wasted it all,
I wanted to be happy,
But I hated the very word,
I had to be different,
So I shouted carpe diem,
And at the end of the day,
I saw that it was a day with no morrow.

So as I try with my less than pretty attempt,
To sum up this thing that I call life,
I see that it had more than enough,
More than a great dream of paradise.
For who among us can know what that is,
Who has seen happiness?
Who among us know where we'll end up,
So whatever we do is ok.
