I call it us

It's getting really hard to sleep at night

Nightmares telling me to shut my eyes

Even if all the factors are on it's side

I know I'm still too strong to sacrifice

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The voices in my head are trying to kill me

They're neither gleeful nor happy

Oh how many times I wished I could loose my memory

And play a new song , with a different symphony

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It's music is stuck in my ears

Full of dull sorrowness and fears

They hate me , they say it in sneers

Leave me breathless , covered in tears

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Disconnecting my body from my head

I waste my time with every tear I shred

That's what I do before I go to bed

Echoing their voices, believing what they said

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And that's when I finally loose

It was simple yet I denied their rules

Because I wanted it the way i choose

But they were deaf as moles , blind as fools

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I was different

So significant

My thoughts were drifted

Whatsoever , I'm still gifted

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Then ends the night and starts the day

A new journey starts as the ship leaves it's bay

In every story , that's what they say

Then they kill the author and smugly betray

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I wish I could wake up with amnesia

Fly somewhere far , away from the diva

Enter any country with no visa

Including London , Delhi or even Syria

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Finally I wake up with a shake

Perhaps a tornado or an earthquake

But nothing can stop the final break

Resulting in a dreadful heartache

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Staying in bed for what felt like centuries

Trying to erase all of those memories

Ones including both friends and enemies

Laying silently, smelling a scent of strawberries

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'm trying so hard to forget about him

The way he smiles lights up a room that was dim

His brown hair and his pale skin

Falling for him would be my worst sin

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Once I start writing

There would be no ending

Those words would start melting

Blow up the cover they are defending

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Behind every soul bends a selfish side

Filled up with arrogance , drowning with pride

Walk away from me, take many long strides

Make sure that you move on, be your own guide

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Rest of my life, live them in vain

I don't want to loose or feel the pain

You keep me alive, you keep me sane

Forget what you give , remember what you gain

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Aside from all this

I'm definitely going to miss

Your brown eyes and pink lips

The ones I never got to kiss

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sealed as a secret in my heart

Never give up or feel apart

Your voice defies both music and art

Tenderly sweet and abnormally smart

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This is why I want to forget you

Like you left my thoughts and flew

Your heart can't be red, must be blue

People read this and still ask me 'who?'

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

With a paper and a pen

I write this and pretend

That it's just about a friend

Someone who I will remember from now till the end.
