                         HIM

Its funny how despite,
Every single thing we do; the spite
Somehow ends up coming back to us
And we're not even supposed to make a fuss,

We rule our lives they say,
But they took it too far; their play,
On our hearts and minds,
They have given too many hurts,
They have ruled our hearts as long as time,
They make it as though they are better than lime,

I have let them rule us enough,
I have let them make it tough,
I have matured now,
Enough to say NO to every trench and trough,
We can move mountains they say,
We will make you stop your play,
We are by no means no longer your prey,
Take from me this heavy baggage,
For your own good more than mine

It's funny how with her i always endured,
But without her i can pick up a sword,
It's funny how i always wished to be helped,
Not realizing,. I could help myself,
It's funny how i wish to return,
To the place i abandoned,
With ridiculous amount of doubt,

I wish to be that someone for her,
So with great difficulty i faced my demons,
Barely making it out,
The light couldn't be more blinding,
The first thing i though of; sharing it with her

Tell me,
If i had held on,just a little longer,
If i had endured a little more,
Would it have been possible to share?

But then again if i held on,
Would i face it head on?
Would the light even come?
Early a little late, would i be a scar or a balm?

Would she understand if i explained?
Would she believe that yes i let go,
But only so i could hold on even more,
That i wanted to be worthy,
I don't know,
Would she?

                             HER

She walked to the cliff with a heavy heart,
Yet another memory pricked her scar and hurt,
Causing it to bleed an internal river,
Sitting down she let her assurance waver,

She had been visiting the cliff a lot lately,
Everytime the moon shone, Everytime the flowers bloomed,
She would find herself seated,
Revisiting what once was a beautiful encounter,

Sitting here she would imagine all sorts of outcomes,
Trying not to hate him giving all sorts of reasons,
Trying to put herself in his shoes,
To see what it was that he saw,
Exactly what had convinced him so?

She found herself craving his presence,
They say you never know something till it's gone,
She never knew just how much solace he gave,
Right until when she lost it,

She couldn't hate him however,
He let go claiming it's someone else,
But she hadn't seen him,not seen another,
She hadn't heard about any other,
Even after letting go he was alone,
That gave her a wish and hope,

That maybe just maybe,
But that lasts only for a while,
As contempt from the heart replaces,

She claims she never wishes to see him again,
Yet her eyes are always searching in a crowd,
She claims not to care anymore,
Yet she checks to see if he hurt no more,
She wishes to stop,
Surely she couldn't be sane,
As her heart seems to have a mind of its own.
