I'm sorry if all I do is stare,
At your wounded heart, 'cos I never bothered to care

You said he hurt you again.
He made you feel things, much more worse than pain
He punched and slapped, and kicked and swore
He hit you so hard,i could have sworn he broke your jaw
I felt the need to rise and fight
But at that moment, it just didn't feel right
This was a cause that wasn't mine
And I, as always felt you'd do just fine
A couple of hits, a couple of beats
Would never in hell, take you down to the pit
But I was wrong
You were not strong

Your funeral was last three weeks
And as I stared at your grave I felt really weak
My eyes gave in and started to leak
Your death taught me all I ever needed was just to speak
Wrote this for a friend, her boyfriend always abused her, I tried warning her, but she always wore this face that spelt brave, I figured she'd be just fine.....she was not

People who have made their money, tie those who haven't made their money down by 'how' they made their money. Now to be frank, I think they have no choice but to be tied down, however, they can choose how strong the knot would and should be....and hence get a chance to make their money, in order to tie others down. It's a never ending cycle :)

Hot knife through butter
That is how easy it is to hurt
Hot knife dipped inside cold water
Relief, but scars remains from the cut.
These wounds heal and pain subsides
But you can't ignore the damage that has been done inside
A heart bleeds and a mind mourns
The death of love, never to be seen and long gone
No notes....

And if we are not meant to be
Why then do you mean so much to me
Us not being together is something I just can't see
So please tell me you'd be home just in time for tea....

I swore to make you happy
I swore to make you laugh
I was never last to say sorry
Even when you made me mad
Ours was the perfect story
You and I, the perfect cast
The love you gave was glory
But alas, good things never last
I know you'd say you loved me
But that was only in the past.

Something I've learnt
Through all the time I've spent
Is that you can be a nice guy
Give your all to the limit of knowing you tried
You can love with all your might
Swear to God you'd fight
For that special one
Overlook all the wrong they've done
You can be kind to a fault
Answer yes to everything, no 'buts'
But still get the short end of the stick
And that just makes me really sick

It isn't love if,                                              
You have control over it,
Your heart doesn't skip a beat,
Your mind isn't losing it,
The pain doesn't hurt like ****

The feeling isn't something you'd miss,  

It isn't love if you have control over it.

Let the sun shine
Let the rain fall
You'd still be mine
And i'd still be yours

Whence comes the flat line
As the GRIM REAPER calls
You'd still be mine
And i'd still be yours

— The End —
