August

Scared of your presence,

which is weird because you were all I adored.

Passing each minute in silence,

or avoiding each other like the plague,

But cowardly enough,

to never leave this place.

Watching your bed

and letting myself be mad,

Wondering if you'd even think about me

or what we had.

All that love you gave me,

I poured into a glass,

Kept it on my shoulder

not fearing about its loss.

And when it broke it didnt spill a drop,

And ill send her to conqure the world

But the child died halfway

Cause she ran out of your love

Ill take your care and fill the pockets of her

jeans

And ill send her somewhere to make a place of her own

But she laid an early grave

They told me her pockets empty

IlI take what remains and fill up my purse

And ill go somewhere safe

With cigarettes in one hand

But only because I never spoke of the soldier he lost

And i'll be the only bitter minister,

Lurking in the court like a forgotten thought.

And later when the whole world stands armed next to you,

I'll stand still alone but seeing you through,

I'll die with my truth bleedin out of my veins,

I hope you're ashamed when you bury the remains of your good friend.

And if you'd take a take a step back and look

You'd know your empire is standing still

If you'd stop picking your sword

At every passing stranger

Then you'd know not everyone is your enemy

If you'd stop crying in the corner of your cage

Walk to the door of the very same

Then you'd know it was never locked

Take a breath, one at a time

Blink out your tears, just for a while

See the world's bigger than a broken heart

And has no place, for a cowards wrath

All the love disappears

Give Something in my name atleast

But she doesn't know ill wake up one day

And ask for help

Would you give me a tissue

Or be bothered by stain

If I fall down on my knees

So high from my grace

Would you lend me your hand

Or be annoyed by the bypasser

If I'm held against somebody

Which is so unlike me

Would you intervene in the dramatics

Or pretend you dont know me

After everything's said and done

Complaining is done by loved

What right is possessed by me

Cried so hard He won't look at me now,

Shamelessly still i pray the lord

We used to walk on a road like there was no tomorrow,

We used to bitch about thousands, whose name I can't remember.

And sometimes just looking at your face was enough to make me laugh,

There was no dull moment with you but that was last summer.

I crossed the same road but it all felt like movie,

We faded into thin air like we were never there.

But those burden of memories which i still

carry, won't let me forget all those glory,

But even back then we knew it all,

We met lots of strangers.

Some stayed throughout the journey,

some got off on that last station.

We met a lot of people we ended up hating.

They didnt talk to us.

They wanted the window seat.

They refused the tea we offered.

But there were good ones,

We shared the same hatred towards the former,

We laughed at them as they grumbled,

They offered us the upper compartment, Poor them,

They were diabetic so they didn't drink our tea

And that was two ways to look at the same coin.

As the train wrecked and both of them died.

But why did you whine more for the person you dispise.

Did the guilt kill you more than the love did.

Wasn't love supposed to hurt you more, well that's what everyone said.

So maybe the character you dispise

From the movie you didn't like

No matter how evil they were

Her mind was chaos and the floor was cold

She watched her kids leave her home

As she realised the truth no one told

She was 16 when she stepped out of her home

"Be back for holidays" she held her cry

She came back again but it was not what she left

So she cried what she held and watched her home die

She spent years with people

who made her feel home

But People came and left

So she searched for a new home

Moon was full when She decided to make her own

With the person who was looking for the same

She never told it out loud but the house was not a home

Soon She forgot her dream and the dark nights came

The moon was high the night was dark

Hew mind was chaos and the floor was cold

Lost things are lost for a reason

I found out the girl who hated me wanted to die

I held her hand not knowing why

I showed her buildings ocean and place

Where her ghost won't chase

It wasn't to stop her or to hold her back

Though she hated me, she cut me some slack.

The view from the tallest building

Only gave her thoughts of jumping

She would rather drown than swim

She and death had a wall so slim

Were things really that of a mess

For her to look at the sun and find it's darkness.

By the end I was tired as she

But I had some thoughts come clean

Her hate towards me had reached its limit

So more i tried to stop more she fought

Her 13 reasons why had never been shown

Because the reason for her to die was me alone.

She didn't want to live in a world where I stayed

But i couldn't leave her alone in a mess she made

I wanted her to live more than she wanted me to disappear

He isn't

'His hands holds hers for the life of him'

He looks deep into her eyes

And to the abyss

His fingers used to draw circles on her hand

He now taps his fingers on hers

Once, twice.

He closes his eyes.

His furrowed brow relax.

7 minutes that's how long he held her hand And for the 8th he let's it go

As he falls he realises that she never held his hand

'He let's it go for the life of him.'

Anyone who tries to change breaks a revolt

When the tale is as old as time

Did you survive?
