Birthday Bolt...


It was the child’s sixth birthday
The party had begun, and all was gay
His friends had come, and they were at play
And how they cheered when mother brought in the tray!

But the birthday boy was a bit forlorn,
Of ecstasy his face was somehow shorn
He asked, “Mother, has father telephoned yet?”
The answer being negative, he began to fret.

His father was on a battlefront, miles away,
With no chance to wish him a happy birthday.
His focus was to decimate the enemy facing him.
Bullets were flying, the setting was grim.

His thoughts were at home, revolving around his son,
Harking back good times together, full of fun.
The sight of corpses strewn all around, made him shudder,
Wishing to be away, he had to overcome with mere vigor.

“Has father called, my mother dear?”
Rarely do they realize how poor soldiers suffer
Cannons roared, men fired at one another,
Impatiently he asked, “When will father call, oh mother?”

And then the telephone indeed did ring;
The child was elated bubbling with zing!
The call was indeed from the battle ground—
She picked up the phone and swooned without a sound!!

Inscribed Book...


I wish life was a book
A book that could bind all ages
With all the happy and sad stories
Inscribed with big vitiated stains.

I wish life was an inscribed book,
A book with all my childhood days,
Days where I could return to enjoy and feel….
Return to my innocent self
To give myself a bit of help.
I wish life was an inscribed book,
Where happy days could be bound—
In pages in blue and green
Which I could read over and over again
And enjoy a lifetime of blissfulness.
How I wish life was an inscribed book,
A book with happiness inscribed in pages!

I wish life was an inscribed book,
With all the sadness inscribed.
Pages where inscribed in white
Were all the unhappy moments of life!
Pages I could really skip
To enjoy the brightest lights of time.
If only life could be inscribed in pages
For sadness could be skipped through for ages.

I wish life was an inscribed book,
Where love could be wrought in pages,
In stories that were stained with blood
With the romantic moments depicted in clots
And I could grasp all love at one go….

I wish life was an inscribed book,
Where death could be inscribed,
Moments be depicted in pure black,
Written in illegible handwriting.
As I know I would never reach the end,
As moments of love and happiness
I would learn to hold,
Reaching never the bare end,
With all the sad moments skipped through!

Oh, I only wish the life was an inscribed book,
A book I could read from dawn till dusk—
Read in the twilight, gazing at green,
Sitting in the balcony,
Even when I am in eighties,
Even when my job, family, friends and others
Would desert me black!

Ode to the King Cobra...


Through the grass like a gleaming ray
Twisting and wriggling you steer your way.
What a marvel of nature is your figure.
The valor in your color, your moves full of vigor.
Your blazing eyes, a store of enthusiasm
Sets fire in all your toured chasms.
Your hiss, a mystic charming spell 
Thrusts a tremor from heaven to hell.

Oh! When I saw you, I turned white
In the monsoons as your eyes shone bright
Oh, corsair of life, did you scare me!
But as you moved your way with dignity,
The charm of your design left me spell bound
As I saw molten gold flowing down the ground.
So majestic! So splendid! So wonderful are you!
Your vision can restore spirits anew.

But why are you treated like an evil,
Stained as a monster in every fable?
Where have you lost your deserved respect?
Why are you facing such cruel neglect?
Do not forget that you are the king.
Your fangs within seconds, one’s life can wring.
When your hood rises for justice’s sake
Every daring tiger’s heart forever breaks,
The genius man kneels to pray for his life,
The fittest elephant does fail to survive!

You crawl; your modest head looks down.
But you are not as low as the ground.
The dictator of swamps, the warrior dark,
O Naja, you are the monarch!
O Naja, you are monarch!

Revelations of Heavens...


The blushing glory of roseate disk
Deepen a little enough the mist
When through some magic arcane
The host shimmered across the firmament.

The ardent glow that grew more
With ingress of increscent skies
Behold their exotic locales were
Flung across the vacuous space!

Memories have been the time piece
These stars, and at yonder point, the Mars
For a eons, arisen with permanence
A reminder gentle, of design subtle
Of cosmic sights and eternity of light!

Each time I look up at the stars
I wonder—I see the end or the start.
In their nebulous remnants,
Creation has become renascent,
Where doth the ‘end begin’
Or where doth the genesis end?
They doth illume their saga of creation
And of ‘life’ on the rock from the sun.

Elements here are in cyclic harmony
An orderly chaos in nature’s symphony.
Eyes min e touched the orbs shiny,
Defying the norms of fading mortal memory,
I gazed deep—void and deeper past,
Forever my travels in space and time shall last.
Whilst on ‘Rhea’, the raft of Eden,
Depart from the shores of cosmic ocean.

To odyssey into the ‘lively silence’ of heavens
And through its enigma of stars and clusters,
Which Eigen mysteries of eleven songs muster!
And I keep my conscious wide awake
Lest I miss another raft on cosmic voyage

I may wander deep but never get lost,
This all is my home; I am a denizen of cosmos!

Dark Stare...



I saw him stare away from reality,
Away at what I could not see,
With dreamy eyes, towards the sky,
I could not follow his virtual eye.
Sitting still he thought, may be,
Of what has been, what could be--
Of daily life and ordinary fears,
Mourning past and floods of tears.
I saw him stare at another world—
At hazy moments of days old.
He knew he couldn’t see, then what—
His childish mind could possibly have thought,
So, as to make him seem so grown,
As if, a blanket of thoughts was thrown,
Over young shoulders of a blind child,
To make the fire within, go wild.
I saw him stare with blackened eyes,
Yet their light brightened the skies;
Through tender lips his soul smiled,
As life as seen by a blind child.
And here, the sun did give no light,
Since light for him came from inside.
I, with my eyes could not have seen,
What blissful experience his stare had been!

Castle Builder...



When the sun was round and low
Resting on the sea-bed
Too smooth and steady was the flow
Of the waves sparkling red.
And the velvety clouds were being flown
By the strong and silent breeze
That rocked to grassy lawn
And tossed the heads of trees….
I was in my pleasant mood
When suddenly my feet still stood
As I saw a child build
A castle of sand!

Then soon the little castle builder
Was ready to end his art
And I was spell bound seeing the architecture
Which with envy filled my heart.
But as he build the castle roof
A steady wave flew like a robin.
And on its return, auf!
The castle was completely ruined.
Oh! The act brought tears to my eye,
But a grin on the face of the boy!
Now when I think of that inner cry
I feel myself far off from that
Lost childish joy!

My Realization...


When I was young and free
And my imagination had no limits;
I dreamt of changing the world!
And as I grew older and wiser I realized that
The world would not change.
And I decided to shorten my sights somewhat
And change only my country---
But soon, it too seemed unrealistic!
And as I entered my twilight years
In one last desperate attempt
I sought to change only my family
Those closest to me….

But Alas! .....
And now I lie on my death bed 
And realize (perhaps the first time) that 
If only I had changed myself first
Then, by my example I might have influenced my family,
And with their encouragement and support
I might have changed my country;
And who knows I might have changed the world!!

When Dear Ones Go…


Memories are of two types
One sweet and the other bitter
And oh my dear!
You had given me only the first one.

The days which I spent with you
Were specially with a golden hue.
And at nights when I
Saw the moon and the stars in the black sky,
You won’t believe if you hear
I could only see your lovely eyes.

And when I tried hard to listen
Anything nearby, I could only hear
The voice so sweet, so melodious
Telling me about the word ‘Love’
And teaching me how to spell it,
In such a sweet attitude.

I can never forget you,
Never, at least in my small life.
May be today you are not here,
But from the place where you are
Far…far…far away from me
Inside the clouds, in a new land
You must hear me….
I love you dear!
I love you!

Ode to the Poison of War...


They say it is all about winning--- but what?
Dead bodies--- all about to rot?
It was for Mullah they had fought,
But, alas! Only death had been brought.

Deaf are you, to the deafening wails
Tears that say the untold tales?
About man slaying man, brother killing brother;
Some cry for their son, and some for their father!

What fluid stains the battle field?
Thicker than water, what did it yield?
Corpses in thousands, wails even more,
Bodies all mutilated, cut into four!

Even the blood of thousands is less
To quench your thirst, I guess
As long as you exist---was galore
Darkness is in store!!

Remember When...


Remember when I held on to your waist
And when you looked into my eyes
Remember when you thought I were
Better than all the other guys...

Remember when I got the courage
And I asked you out at the dance
Remember when we were really close
We'd always be holding hands...

Remember when I said you were an angel
As I held you in my arms so tight
Every feeling, every thought
Everything felt so right...

Remember when I used to kiss you on the cheek
And check off another goal on your list every week
Remember when everyone wished they could see the love we see
Remember when they were all jealous of you and me...

Remember that day
Our one-year mark,
Paradise took us away
Out of the dark...

Remember when you were my entire world
And I'd do anything for you just 'cause you were my girl
Remember when you said I was your best friend
We promised each other our friendship will never end...

Remember that day,
The day you broke my heart.
The day I felt my whole world fall apart.
You used to tell me anything and you said you'd never lie
Now you say you couldn't tell me the truth
Because if you did, you'd start to cry...

Through the good and the bad,
We found joy in each other
When we were sad.
All these memories are falling through
There are a thousand thoughts of you
Remember when...
...Remember...

Begging...


Please come back,
I'm sorry for the way I act !
Don't turn away,
I'll try hard to be your way !
Please don't leave,
I need you here with me !
Please don't tell me we're done,
Because my heart says you're the one !
Don't say what we had was gone,
Because I can tell you you're wrong.
I love you, don't turn away
I need you to help me through these days
Don't say you still want to be friends,
I don't want to be friends, please don't let us end...
What can I do to make you see 
That I've given you all of me ?
I can't stop thinking of you,
I can't stand you want to be through.
How can I show you
That my words are true ?
I'm here on my knees begging you
To stop this talk about us being through.
You said forever,
Then why now are you saying never ?
I gave you everything I am,
You say without you I can move on ! I don't see how I can !
I told you things I could never voice,
Now you're tearing me up and not giving me a choice !
I'm begging you, I'm sorry
Please give us another chance to be.
Don't throw away all we had,
Don't make my happy world turn so sad...
Please don't break my heart again,
Please not after I fought so hard for us to begin...
Please don't say its not so
Because I'm telling you from the bottom of my heart I know !
I'm begging you
I'm on my knees, I don't know what to do...
Please don't let us end
Because with all my memories we could never truly be friends...

Last-First Kiss...


Never in my life, 
Had I felt as good as this
It was a love short lived,
Which I'll forever miss.

For a moment in time
The world had stopped moving
I was caught in the best
What then, was I proving?

It was all so cliche,
How fast she had my heart,
But things dont last forever
How soon, it was torn apart.

I just dont understand what happened
It seemed so perfect, or so I thought,
We kissed that night ,
It just seemed so right,
To me, it really meant a lot.

After that night, I waited so long
To hear her voice once more,
But she avoided me, and forgot I could feel
It was her last walk out of my door. 

When we used to hang out, 
She'd tell me how shy she would be
And to just say what I was feeling inside;
But its not me, its her
That needs to grow up and see
That her silence just makes me cry.

I just want her to say, why she left me this way
Without a single word of goodbye
Her truthful words would have caused hurt feelings
But her silence hurts more than a lie. 

I just long for the day to see her again
To show her the hurt she has endured to my soul
To make her realize, what she has done to my heart
The piece I'll never get back, which she stole... 


When I see her around I hope she realizes
She lost the best thing she could have had,
But I want her so much, 
Despite how she broke my heart,
For eternity, I'll forever be sad.


But I won't say a word
I will just let her slip away
What I thought I had, I have lost
She's gone from my life, 
Its something I'll forever miss
I'll always remember her, 
And our last and first kiss...

Reflection...


I look into the mirror 
Not sure of what I see, 
Cause lately all there’s been 
Are reflections of you and me. 
Last time I looked into the mirror 
I wasn’t ready for the reflection I saw, 
I saw you holding me, hugging me 
Kissing me and all... 
Unsure of what I’d seen 
I tried it once again. 
For surely there was no such thing 
That could bring me back to “then” ! 
And as I looked into the mirror, 
My mind didn’t know what to do 
Cause I saw you looking in my eyes 
And telling me “I love you” !
And once again I looked in the mirror 
Just to once again relive the past, 
Or at least for a couple minutes 
Make the memories last. 
And this time when I looked 
I broke down right then and there. 
And then started forming 
A single crimson tear 
I saw you right in front of me, 
With something in your hands 
I tried to lean closer 
To help me understand. 
I reassured my doubts 
And I know this for a fact 
I saw you take a knife 
And thrust it in my back !

Nothing to Lose...


He used to smile 
His head was held high 
He'd show his teeth white as tile 
And look you in the eye 
When you saw him you knew 
This boy was in love 
But the things she put him through.. 
You couldn't dream of. 

She told him she loved him 
Time after time.. 
She wrote it in letters 
And wrote it in rhymes 
But why would you kill 
The man that you love ? 
Destroy his very will; 
Drag him to the edge of his limits..then shove ?

It really didn't take long.. 
For her to crush him.. 
She did him so wrong 
He wanted his life to end 
He should have known she was lying.. 
In that love letter she wrote. 
The one he put in a frame, 
A frame which now broke. 

And looking at the glass 
He see his reflection 
Broken and smashed 
Filled with rejection..

What did he do? 
Did he fill her with hate? 
He sickens himself.. 
He knows its too late. 
Because seeing his face 
Fills him with rage 
He's choking on disgrace 
He's at his books last page 
And the ink is dull... 
Its fading away 
As he digs his final hole,
There's nothing left to say. 

He knows all her secrets. 
He knows all her lies. 
He can see her soul 
When he looks in her eyes. 
That's when she looks down... 
To the left or the right,
She feels ashamed 
When penetrated by his sight. 
Because she can see that he knows 
Every thought in her head 
And as the inner girl shows 
His heart is no longer red... 

He picks up a piece of his reflection 
Lying on the ground, 
Watching as it fades away 
And transparency is found...
This frame is like his heart 
Broken on the floor, 
The floor which marks the start 
To the end of her fall which is no more. 
And though he still loves her, 
She simply doesn't care. 
The only thing for sure 
Is that pain is never fair. 

And it hurts too much 
Just to say her name, 
To think about her touch 
And remember all their game... 
And so he has given up 
Just like she did on him, 
He's done that to his life 
Now he's ready for the end. 
And what better way 
Than to drain out his heart 
Though its in his body 
She took it with her the day she decided to depart... 

As he cuts into his wrist 
He can't help but think, 
What part of love was it that I missed 
When I had to blink... 

It doesn't matter anymore.. 
Blood drips down his chair 
A large red puddle on the floor 
He no longer has to care... 
It really wasn't a hard choice.. 
It didn't make him sad.. 
Hearing the sound of her sweet voice 
Reminded him she's all he ever had.. 
So having nothing 
Helped him choose.. 
Because when you've got nothing 
You've got nothing to lose...

We are no more...



Where do I start ?
I don't even remember
I guess it all started 
Way back in November...

Things got really close
Way way too fast
But i hoped in my heart 
That it would always last...

But deep down inside me
Was a voice to be heard
A voice screaming at me
Saying it was absurd...

Telling me I was crazy
Telling me I was wrong
Telling me it wouldn't last
Wouldn't last for very long...

And the more the voice grew
The more I pushed it away
Because in my fragile heart
I wanted to believe you would stay...

but the voice wasn't lying,
It knew what was right
But I tried to believe in you
I tried with all my might...

Then I woke up one morning
Expecting the best day I've had in years,
But to my surprise
The day would end in tears

I told myself it was over
And that I was OK !
But deep down inside
There were things I had to say...

...I want you 
...I miss you
...I love you
...I need you

Those are the things
I wanted you to see
But i knew in my heart
That we could never be

But that didn't matter to me 
Because I couldn't stop my desire
Because when you broke my heart
You left me with a fire...

It started out as a flicker
Maybe even a small flame
But I knew that soon to come
My feelings would be down the drain...

But that wasn't the case
Not in the least bit
The flame kept growing
And I feel like burning in it...

And when you look at me now
Every time I pass by,
Your eyes look empty
And I don't even know why !

Why do you like me today ?
Why won't you like me tomorrow ?
Why do you fill my life with joy ?
Why do you fill my life with sorrow ?

I just wish things could be simple
Like they used to be
So close to one another
Not caring whose there to see.

Like when I used to look into your eyes
Your eyes so beautiful blue
And all I wanted to do forever
Was to sit there holding you...

I wish you were still my baby
The one that I adore
But now it just seems 
Like we are no more...

Nameless Love....



I've never wanted anything so bad
But to hold you in my arms
For just one moment
Be the lover that you kiss
Be the lover that you hold 
In your dreams
That’s all I wanted 

But faith has took you away
Far where you have no name
Now you are my lost love 
A love without a name

I've never wanted anything so bad
But to feel your love until infinity 
For just one moment
To be lost in your eyes
To be blessed from heaven
In my dreams
That’s all I wanted 

But faith has took you away
Far where you have no name
Now you are my lost love 
A love without a name

And it’s your voice what keeps me here
Makes me linger between heaven and hell
Like a lost soul blown by the wind
Never facing forward to find the peace
I am just lost in love
In a love without name

You left me with nothing left to win
And so much to lose

And it’s your words what keeps me here
Makes me disappear without a trace
Like a glittering star faded by the sun
Never able to overtake its faith 
I am just lost in love
In a love without name

You left me with nothing more to win
And so much to lose

And still...
The door on my heart is open
Hoping one day someone will show

Tears are not Enough...



My mind begins to wonder
My heart begins to race
As the memory of you
Drifts back into place

I got a picture of you smiling
With a sparkle in your eyes
You looked at me so gently
And kept me mesmerized

AS much as I tired
Your face wouldn't go away
Your eyes, your lips, your smile,
I thought of you all day

It was soon about three
With you still on my mind
I thought while listening to music
In a flash it was nine

I made my bed
To get some rest
As I lay down
I thought of nothing less

The most important memories
Replayed over and over again
And I realized how I missed you
As the days replayed again

No, I hadn't known you very long
But you had such an effect on me
You captured my heart within a day
As I begin to fall wishing for you and me

The way it felt when we touched
The way you made me feel
It seemed that you were too perfect
To even be real

And that's when the tears
Begin to form in my eyes
They told myself how much I missed you,
But I did not want to cry

I hugged my teddy bear
To soften the pain
But it reminded me that it wasn't you,
And the tears they formed again

I remember the first night you kissed me,
How the silence spoke so many words,
There was so much silence but so much said,
You said nothing and I heard

I don't know why
Thinking of you hurts me so
It seems like we had both nothing and everything,
And I still can't let that go

I pick up the phone
With hope in my heart
I dial the number
Still sitting in the dark

The operator answered
I dial the number to your room
She connects me, no trouble
I might talk to you soon

But no surprise
Your gone yet again
She says you'll be home
She just doesn't know when

So I set down the phone
Curling up into a ball
Somehow convincing myself
That you don't care at all

So once again those days replay
But this time I let a couple tears fall
I stop myself before it gets to far
I let some of it go, but not it all

I want to cry but at the same time I don't,
But I know I have to be tough,
Because in my heart I know
That tears are not enough...

Fighter...



I still have scars but they are fading,
Along with the memories of you and I,
I'm moving on and walking away,
You're not worth the tears that I cry.

It's your turn to feel pain and be alone,
Like I have done for so many years,
But now, today, I'm picking myself up,
I'm forever wiping away those tears.

I know one day that you will be back,
Ready to use me once again,
But before you get here I'll be long gone,
Because I'm throwing away you and the pain.

I'm stronger now than I was before,
And I know that's all down to you,
I'm not as weak as I once was,
Thanks for making me a fighter too.

I owe you for doing what you did to me,
I guess I have you to praise in a way,
If it wasn't for you I'd be a crumbling mess,
You made me who I am today.

So thanks for all the hurt and the pain,
And breaking my heart into two,
My defenses are up and I'm keeping my guard,
I'm a fighter because of you ...

My Last Words...



I've never been so close to someone, 
Yet seem so far away.
I look into your eyes
And you've got no words to say.

Though your eyes are silent,
I can't help but see,
The hatred you feel,
Is this goodbye to me ?

Slashing my soul, cutting me deep
I thought it was true,
Your love,
What now I can't keep ?

A rage so violent in words,
I don't want to believe its true,
Do you really hate me that much ?
Is it over ? Are we now through ?

You've killed my mind, 
I leave slamming your door
Keeping pain between us.
Feels like battling in war.

As I walk down the road,
I feel weakness inside,
I want you to know,
How much I've truly tried. 

Though you don't see it, 
I have cried ever night,
Wishing our past was gone,
And hoping for a new light.

As I'm crossing the street,
I take one final glance, 
I see you running my way,
Hoping you'll give me, one final chance. 

You open your mouth,
But no words can come out,
I see you but a mere second,
You're trying to shout.
                                
                                     ---------

As fast as it had happened
It was just as quickly taken away 
A drunk driver had hit her that night
Took her life, and now she's the one to pay.

Just before she left the world,
I whispered in her ear
"I love you, don't forget it"
down my stained face, rolled a silent tear. 

But time was too quick
For she was already gone,
The true feelings behind my rage,
Will always be looked upon.

As the last thing I said to her,
Before she was hit,
Were my true feelings
That I was too afraid to admit.

I didn't get to say goodbye,
We left each other with hate,
I really truly loved her, 
Although not fair for her fate. 

Tell someone, what you really feel
Don't keep it inside your heart,
For tomorrow could be the ending
And you'll forever be apart...

Love has an End...



Love comes and goes, but when you feel it
It hurts you so
Life is just one big twist
Make the wrong move
You will end up cutting your wrist...

Decisions are made, when you are wrong
Promises are broken, when I sing this song
Love may touch you in a different way
But you'd like to listen to what I have to say...

A broken heart will never mend
The road ahead will always bend
The love I lost was the one I had
Never knew it would hurt so bad...

Thoughts are left in my mind
The words I say wont be kind
Its not easy to say "I love you"
But I can't help it when I know I do...

I tried to forget the thoughts I loved
Quite easy when you pushed and shoved
Memories will always come to haunt me
The love I sought will never be...

The truth comes out when I fear it 
Why can't you say you love me just a bit
Lies will never work on me
Why can't I just let it be ?

The love I thought I will never lose
Made me make a decision to choose
Regrets will never leave my life
I just wanted you to be my wife...

What I say must be true
It something that I had to do
My lack of words got me here
You made me cry an ocean of tear

My love is lost, my fear-- it came
I think I will never be the same
The words I spoke will always stay
Thats why you always made me say
That you were never the one for me
I know because it has to be
As there is no one ever made for me....

A Summer's Day...


Alone on a summer’s day
Sitting on the ocean’s shore
Wish I would just drift away
Since you closed your heart’s door

I sit and watch the crashing waves
And the sand be beaten down
From the pain I have endured
I feel like I want to drown

Only you could do this to me
Make my world a metaphor
Sad as the hopelessness of sea
Never knowing what’s in store

The sea though beautiful it is
Reminds me only of you
Because no one really knows
What lies beneath the blue

What thoughts went through your mind
Causing you to up and leave?
What emotions crossed love’s path
Causing you to make me grieve?

Did I ever do you wrong?
Did I ever cause you pain?
Did I ever set the sun
And cause the skies to rain?

Everything, I thought, was right
Perfect as an angel’s heart
I saw the clearest of a night
Until you decided to depart

Now I can only sit and wonder
Where did our love lose its way
I sit and watch the crashing waves
Alone on a summer’s day

A Bullet from My Valentine...


They fell while they were friends,
But neither of them knew,
Because to admit it and ruin things,
Neither of them wanted to do.

Eventually they found out,
And were happier than before,
They had the best relationship,
Filled with trust and more.

She always thought of him,
As he was always dreaming of her,
They figured forever was in their future,
They had no clue what would occur.

He had an old flame,
A girl from his past,
They liked each other, 
But knew it wouldn't last.

He made the mistake,
Of expressing his heart,
Then he suddenly noticed,
That wasn't too smart.

The old flame betrayed him,
She printed off what he had said,
His one and only love found out,
Then he wished that he was dead.

He lost all of her trust,
And crumpled up her heart,
He felt he ruined everything,
He wished to redo it from the start.

He cried all day and night,
And mourned over their trust,
He never thought he'd earn it back,
He just kept thinking,"i must."

Slowly she fell for another,
A guy she trusted more,
She thought it would hurt,
If maybe she would explore.

They were always talking,
While her guy tried to fix everything,
He never once thought that,
May be she was having a fling.

She didn't know how to say it,
She didn't even want to try,
That dark and rainy night,
When she said her last goodbye.

He hated himself for doing it,
He wanted to be dead,
He wished he could go back,
And erase everything he said.

Because she would still be with him,
They would still hold each other tight,
She would still send him love notes,
And call him each and every night.

He had to watch her kiss him,
And laugh at the things he said,
He gazed longingly at them,
And wished it could be him instead.

He went home from school,
He wrote everything on his mind,
He knew it was his fault,
His body they would find.

He could no longer stay there,
He couldn't bear his life,
He hoped they would always be,
He hoped for her to be his wife.

But now his hope is ended,
And he has no reason to live,
She was his life, his happiness,
For her, anything he would give.

He got his dad's pistol,
And gripped onto it tight,
He thought, "I caused her pain,
What I'm doing is right."

He pulled the trigger,
And his eyelashes closed,
When they read the note,
His feelings would be exposed.

His widowed mother came home,
To find her last family dead,
She suspired heavily,
As she saw what the note said.

"Mom, I'm sorry,
But I hurt my only love,
You may not be able to see me,
But I'll be your angel above,

I don't know why I did it,
I cared for her more than life,
I have nothing left,
Since I don't have my future wife,

I tried to mend it back,
I tried to fix her as well as mine,
But she fell for someone better,
Maybe that was my sign.

She still has my heart,
And I'm sure she always will,
But you can't live without your heart,
No matter what, she'll have mine still."
