True feelings
Abandoned
From a boy to a man
in a single day
Now you say
you don't want to stay
You colour your version
of what happened back then
You abandoned me
you are about to do it again
Brothers and sisters
left with a hole
That can only be filled
with the light of your soul
Your struggle will end
not on this day
What makes you think god
won't turn you away?
Failure is surrender
it leaves you weak
Death will not give you
the salvation you seek
You can Stay and fight
anyone can run
Clean up your mess
your damage undone
I can give you so many reasons
you need to be here
So many reasons
not to loose to your fear
Why cant you see
it's not just your life?
So much will be lost
A mother, my wife
You leave all your kin
an incomplete heart
The blame and the guilt
sure to tear us apart
Maybe you will come back
as somebody free
A stranger in the park
that won't recognise me.
My Feelings for Her
Feelings within the core of human heart
Builds pressure, which increases with every second
And then in a moment, it erupts and flows
Some experience acceptance, while some severe blows
The feeling of my heart is misunderstood by some
They take it as a factor for destruction to come-
Into my life; They do not know the fact
It is my love for her that compels me to act.
She need not be beside me forever
She need not be present in my company
She may love someone else but not me
These are the things which I do not bother
She's the Soul of My Heart
No force of the universe,from me, can make her part
She lives in my dreamworld and with fairies she flies
And I always see her,whenever I close my eyes...
She does not love me, perhaps she never will
This should be her attitude towards me,even when I'm dead n still
She shouldn't drop her precious tears for me
But keep them safe to spend it for someone Worthy
From the day that I first fell in love
And even after I rot in my grave
She will be my only beloved
Let her name,on my grave be carved.
All her desires may be fulfilled
May she be lucky enough to get her dream love
My prayer to you O lord: "give her the joy,
of dreams being fulfilled;which I never got."

No longer my daddy
You were my dad that I once knew
But little do you know the pain you put me through
I’ve grown up and realized
That your life is nothing but one thousand lies
You say that you love me more than I know
But if that were true then why doesn’t it show?
I know you have her
And you love her, I'm sure
But don’t forget I’m in your blood too
But obviously that doesn’t mean anything to you
I remember when I was the twinkle in my daddy’s eyes
Then he left one day with out saying good-bye
You say moms standing in the way
And all she wants is for you to pay
Maybe that’s true
But what can I do?
I’m your daughter
And you’re supposed to be my father
Does that mean anything to you?
But that you'll never see
And a father you will never be
If you could see the tears running down my face
Still the years have passed you can’t replace
So, dad I’ve given up on you and this time I’ll leave.
From this day forward I’ll just call you Steve.

I guess I do, I guess I don't
but who really knows my soul
evicted from my home, nowhere
to roam and it's all because
of whom? What I might consider
the worst of the worst. Hurts
to know I made the worst mistake
when I chose you as my bride
oh Lord I lost my friend all
in the name of love now I'm lost
in my own thoughts and could
of been, signed papers on my desk
but who really knows my soul
evicted from my home, nowhere
