Cigarettes and Stitches

Cigarettes and Stitches 

Life is not all so difficult 

With problems that we feel 

Are just something that we made it ourselves 

And blame our luck for the problems.

We all have just one life to live 

With nothing we want to be left to regret 
We all have one shot which is enough 
But what is life for those who have missed their shot

What about the people who have lost a lot 
Than with what they have had 
Sacrificing parts of life which were far valuable to them 

Their lives have been like a whirlpool 
Where only their happiness sinks away 
How can they think about the happy things in life 
They are lost in their world of mystical memories 

Memories of their happy days where life was worth living for 
When all the things that were there in their lives 
Meant to lead to the path of happiness 
Who thought that life will never be the same 

With the things now lost in the sands of time 
Only darkness is that which surrounds us 
Will time ever help stitch our wounds 
Or will we just be lost in the mere memory of the old times 

Will we be able to get past it 
Or will the cigarettes be our only lifeline. 

The Day That the Sky Turned Red

The Day The Sky Turned Red

The day had just started 

With people living their normal lives 

Just like they did the day before 

With no regrets on their minds 

Life was so monotonous 

It was just as boring as midsummer afternoon

With no such good thing to do 

And people trying to fight with their daily ordeals 

Being in school was a hard task for a child 

With children coming with no will 
Only being forced to go to the prison that we all thought it was
With the teachers giving an hard day 

And life moving in its pace 
Never had they thought what was to come was a tornado 
With that the entire world would be the victims 
And the future of the world will end 

A gale of terror was flowing through them 
With the future doing everything to protect each one 
Slowly and slowly they chose them and made them the victims 
The ones who would change the future would be nevermore 

And the raven of death lurking over them 
As each and every chirp of its claiming a new victim 
Down they all fell like an old demolished buildings 
Yet some fought to protect them but were charred by the raven 

145 souls were executed just to please the devil 
With the ravens still flying high 
With the sky filled with tears shed and bangles smashed 
With grief filling in the atmosphere 
And sky turned red with the bloody souls 

The Wait

The Wait

How strange Humans are 

With their problems and life moving on 

They still wait for something good to happen 

At times they wait for a storm to pass and 

At times they wish the happiness to remain 

Waiting for people is somewhat strange 

Even when we have nothing to do we wait for things to change 

From a bad day at the office we wait for things to be better 
To the fights we have with our loved ones 

We all have been waiting for something
Even things which have been gone away 
Far away where life would never be the way it used to We all wait for something

From the times when we all have 
Been tormented and tortured by the thoughts of the past 
The abuse and fights to the lashing out and mood swings that they had 
We still are waiting for them to realize their mistakes

We all have been waiting for something haven't we?
From the times that we wasted waiting for love to come into our life 
Which will sweep us off our feet 
To the wait for the torture to end when everything around us is a mess

Time does whiz by 
At a speed that we are only left with memories 
Memories of the past where we wish to be lost and never be found 
To the sight of us being happy then and wish if it only stayed like this forever 
It is just us and our loneliness that makes us drown in the memories 

If only we could have relived them 
We wouldn't have to wait 
The missed opportunities to the wasted chances 
From the realization of the mistakes to the wait of a reply 
If only we had all the time in the world then life would have been simple

The Reply

The Reply

How difficult it is to understand this life

With all that we people want are different things 

With all we want are the things which are mortal 

And not anything that can define our existence 

We all fight for the things that do nothing good for us 

What about the things meant for us 

What about love, respect and family 

We all have never had replies for things like these 

We all have lived this life waiting for a reply to the things we asked for 

What if the questions we ask may change our lives forever 

It would have been an easy life if we knew them 

Instead of waiting for ages for a yes 

We had asked for a lot of things 

From things like love, peace and happiness 

All of us wished it to be yes 

Growing old just waiting for that reply

I had asked someone to be there for me 

From my testing times to my victories 

My vulnerable points to my strengths 

I just wanted her to be by my side where ever I go 

To what state of mind I am in

The wait for replies to these questions does kill us 

Thinking what if it is a no 

Will everything be the same after that 

What if she never replies will I be able to focus on my goals 

What if it is a yes will she be with me till the end 

These replies do change the entire nature of ours 

How one yes can change our mood and low days to being the best days 

How one no can create bitterness in our lives and relationships 

These replies kill people every time 

The wait for these replies are torture in itself

All the world is a stage

All  The World Is A Stage

We all men are mare players

Of a game far afoot 

We all have our own purpose 

With our own stories written by the Lord Almighty

The entire world is o stage

With us being the puppets 

And the strings held by the one man who is our creator 

But at times we forget 

We all value people 

Who are lessons for us 

Who were sent in our life 

And create havoc in our lives 

With those people 

Tormenting and torturing our soul 

Burning the humanity in our body 

Our entire body being teared apart from limb to limb 

And then come people 

Who enter our life to give us a moment of our lifetime 

Those people are sent to make us realize our value

The value which we never estimate 

All the World is a stage 

and all the people are puppets 

Sent in this world for a purpose greater than us 

To keep us grounded and to know what value life has 

Each has it's own entrance and exits 

Decided by the Lord Almighty 

So are the phases of life similar to that of the men 

They would come and go away like the people in our lives 

The Dream

Dreams

Almost for the half  of our lives

We have chased after things that were not worth our time 

From silly souvenirs to the lust of power 

We have all worked for things that were a dime in a dozen 

We forgot what we all wanted in life 

From things like peace, safety, happiness and prosperity 

Have been replaced by money, greed, power and lust

The innocence has seen its end 

The dreams that were once dreamt 

Are now lost in the sands of time 

The kids we were when we used to dream 

Of a life filled with happiness, love and respect has now been shattered 

We just dream of a life that is just a facade 

It is a life of the people who are under influence of power, greed and hunger of success 

Has life and the growing competition changed us 

Has the humanity and innocence been burned into ashes 

We used to dream

Of a life with the most simplest thing

A life where happiness would be the thing that matter 

And trust will be the statement for life 

But now the dream is gone 

With deception and politics being 

The main agenda in people's lives 

Where no one cares for your happiness and be proud of you when you succeed 

At times how much I pray to god

That if only we could live the dream 

And all the other sins go back to hell

How much I wish that if dreams do come true.

If I'd Only Known

If I'd Only Known

If I'd only known 

That lie would end this way 

I would have done everything to correct all wrongs

If I'd only known 

That this is the edge of patience

I would have done everything 

Everything to make my mistakes go and this feeling fade away 

From the night I hit you and insulted you 

To the night when I left you at the end of the road 

If I'd only known 

That life would have brought me down 

To this where everything seems to fall apart 

Even you are now just a mere memory 

If I'd only known 

That you would be the last good thing god gave me 

I would have made sure that every moment we spent 

Lasted a lifetime

Only if I had not been corrupted 

With suspicion and rage 

I would have kept you near me 

And never would I have treated you like an animal 

If I'd only known 

That this would be the last we would meet 

I would have tried to stop time 

So that I could have spent the entire time looking at you 

Mesmerised 

If I'd only known that life would never be fair 

I would have kept the faith in it 

Believing that only if you were here with me 

I would have not been alone in this storm 

If I'd only known 

That after this there would have been no us 

I would have wooed you all over again 

Just to stay with the love we had, the moments we shared 

And us being together 

And now life has changed 

And the storm has taken its toll 

Where I am it's latest victim

If only I'd known 

I would have never missed you like this 

The Hidden Soul In Me

The Hidden Soul In Me 

This is the final straw

With this life beginning to take it's toll 

With friendships being thrown out the window

And life playing its vicious games

Was it always like this 

Or it has suddenly turned it's table

It has been a tough time 

With the game of life not being understood

There is this beast in me

Becoming restless everyday 

Is it me or the devil in me 

That has made me like this 

With all the people around me 

Hurting me be it mentally or physically

Will the beast in me take control 

Or will my life change its tale

It is just like Dr. Hyde and Mr. Jackle

The Final Stand

The Final Stand

As I see you go away

My heart gets shattered into pieces

With each step you take 

All I can wish is for you to stop

I still wonder what I did wrong

There isn't a day that I don't regret 

The day when you came to know about it 

Broken and decimated I try to tell you everything

God I still repent the day I met her 

She was just a beautiful beast 

Hidden under her was a devil that I never saw 

Never did I wonder that this ship of ours will sink because of her 

It was just a huge mistake 

Never should I have done it 

If only I had control of myself 

If only I could have stopped it 

It was just a sinful night 

And we had just got of our occasional fight

It was never this bad like that night 

I had stormed out of the house 

And I had no place to go 

So i just called her up 

Just asking if I could crash at her place 

Not having a clue of the storm waiting 

We had a normal talk

Had a few shots of whiskey 

And then out of no where we had made out

Not having a clue of its repercussions 

It was the most sinful thing I could only do 

Then out of my own conscience 

I told you of what happened 

Never believing that you would leave me 

Then with your make up running down 

And then the blow that knocked me down 

With a thunderous slap across the face 

You had done nothing wrong 

It was just a devil inside e that possessed me 

I am still here begging for your forgiveness 

Asking you to take me back 

But you are there going 

Here I am taking the last stand to save our relationship  

The Play

The Play

Games are meant for playing 

From Monopoly to Chess 

All these games are for playing 

The fun and joy when you win is surreal

But what if your entire life turns into a game

What if at every step you are just played by others

Like chess what if you are just pawns of a big game

Life is now just a game

Each step has to be measured 

Calculated with ice cold precision

Not knowing what will happen with you 

From your relationship to your life 

The game is sleek and smart 
Whole the worthy shall prosper
And others will perish
This is a play which has to be played carefully

Otherwise the game you have in your mind
Shall engulf you with it's dire consequences
It is tough to know what step to take 
Being in two minds with what is to gain and what is at stake 

Will life always be at verge of falling to the game 
Or will it find out a way to end it once and for all
With innocence, love. honesty and trust perishing before it 
Or will there be an end to all this. 

The Prison

The Prison

And it starts all over again

When you just sit there 

In a room filled with rage and animosity

And no exit to release it

Ever felt so weak 

That nothing in this life will ever give you strength 

With all the strength drained out of your soul

And you just stand there desperately hoping for help

Life is never all sunshine and rainbows

It is just miserable and stressful 

It is how to face that anger they say it is all about the attitude towards the problem they said

Never it is easy to fight the rage in us

It gets tough with each breath you take 

When all you have is just pain 

Pain that sinks your soul in 

So deep that no one could be able to rescue you

Will this pain ever disappear 

Will this life full of suffering ever end

Or will this be too much to handle that the only way to get it out is to embrace it 

Or the other way is to finish that life full of rage. 

This is a prison of emotions 
That no one can get me out of 
With life breaking me down 
Like never before 

The Fall

The Fall

Will life ever be simple

With it's bag of complexities lost in the sea of time

Will it ever be so simple that no one loses his mind

Just trying to understand it's ploys

It is always a mixbag of emotions 

I never thought that life can be so complicated

And that people would be its slave

It was a normal summer that year 

With people finding ways to kill time 

It was a normal life 

People minding there own problems 

Busy fighting with their own problems 

Living their monotonous lives

Then came a storm 

With the peace thrown away 

People became so hypocritical 

Like never they had been before

People started to fight each other like there is no tomorrow 

Standing for principles that were now questionable 

With a thirst for blood like those fabled creatures 

And then the inevitable happened \

The society fell down with cities in ruins 

The people were on a frenzy to get what they want 

The society fell apart just like a pack of cards 

The beliefs that were inherited from generations were questioned 

And the rationality of their actions asked

It was like a spark to light the fire 

Then life proved one thing that it will change

From a phase of happiness it changed to utter destruction 

Life was a puzzle never meant to be solved 

You and My Memories

You and My Memories

With each second passing

It is getting harder and harder to breathe 

Each breath feels like being poked with a million thorns 

My life may see it's fitting end

With this life is becoming unbearable 

It was not always like this 

I was a great happy go lucky chap 

Busy in my own world with nothing else to be worried 

Life would have been great if I hadn't met you

With me finding my way home 

Like a little kid in a world full of goons and thugs 

Waiting for an opportunity to pounce upon me 

But then something made me feel mystified 

I was almost a block away from home 

When I saw you waiting for a cab 

Wondering how to find your way home 

But there was something about your smile that made me absolutely nuts about you 

You were so beautiful 

That I was nearly tempted to steal you away from the world 

I wanted to make you mine 

You had the most beautiful eyes 

With you shivering in cold 

I couldn't help but help you 

You were waiting for your friends who had stood up on you

Gradually from a small stroll to your home 

We started meeting gradually 

And then it was like a habit to meet you 

But one day there was something different about you 

You were incredibly depressed 

For the first time in many meals that I enjoyed with you 

Never did I think I would ever love you so much

From that day onward it 

It was just we were inseparable 

We just needed an excuse to meet each other 

But never did I think that this would happen to us 

To all good things comes to an end 

I never knew that ours would be so quick 

It was a simple day 

I was waiting for you to come to the cafe 

Where we had decided to plan our marriage 

When  I was lost in my train of thoughts 

When all of a sudden there was this state of chaos and pandemonium 

The place you worked in had been caught by those cowardly acts of terrorism 

I got tensed and worried 

Cursing myself  for forcing you to go to office 

You wouldn't be in this mess because of me 

After those three torrid days of fighting 

The police infiltrated the building only to find charred wood and blood all around

With each wall seemed like those of a butcher's room 

Blood splattered all the way 

Then I saw you 

Never did I fathom to see you in this state 

You were covered in blood and ashes 

I tried to hear your voice 

I shouted my lungs out 

Crying your name just to hear you say anything 

But you had gone to a place far away 

With those beautiful almond like eyes refusing to open up 

After that each moment was like a curse 

There was a darkness unknown to the world that had consumed me 

Trying to fight hard to accept that 

Now you would be only in my dreams and memories 

Then now as I live each breath becoming hard 

And the pains increasing inside me 

The Devil will now reside in me 

If only you were here 

I could see our old home living with each other 

Just living the way we should have 

And not leaving each other's side

Death of Humanity

An Angel Lost

The day you were born was the luckiest i felt;

I had a little angel in my hand;

You were so small that even the devil would have loved you;

You made me a father;

You were so sweet that i couldn't take my eyes off you;

Your small eyes that were looking at me were adorable;

I couldn't help but spend each moment with you;

I couldn't miss on you growing up;

Life was good when you came into my life;

i made sure to fulfill your each and every wish;

i tried to be the best father i could ever be;

I remember you trusting me when i threw you high in the air;

The life was like a fairy tale;

I remember how many efforts we put in;

to hear your first words;

we have made efforts to see your smile;

I remember taking you to the park;

helping you swing the swings;

I took your hand and helped you walk;

That was the first time i heard you call me Daddy;

I remember bringing your first doctor set;

when you said you wanted to be a doctor;

You made my life into a dream that people rarely see;

You were my smile and apple of my eye;

If i could have stopped you this fateful night an year ago;

you couldn't have met this end;

You had me helpless as you went because i never said no to you;

You went for a movie and you said you would be back;

But god those animals took you away;

you and your friend were taken as hostages;

You fought those beasts but it was all in vain;

They had hit you so hard that you couldn't have screamed;

Even when you did people ignored;

You were stripped and ripped apart as if you were their dinner;

Those beast threw you on the road as if you were filth;

Your friend tried to get help but people didn't came;

You were lying in a pool of blood with your guts sprawling out;

He took you in his arms and rushed you to the hospital for treatment;

The doctors were great when they decided to help you;

Well it was insane anger at first around the nation;

Culprits were caught;

and tried in front of the nation;

But who will punish the real culprits;

the bystanders waiting for a drama;

You were there fighting death;

And now its been a few years since you left;

You are resting in a place far from here;

Looking at us with eyes filled with love;

Daughter we would never forget you and fight for your justice;

Love now and then

Life and Emotions

Life is simple if lived cautiously 

it's a gift that people get

Why waste it crying on things that never are meant for us

Why not just relax and enjoy life 

These things are just to fool your heart

People would rip your heart out 

still you would just stand and smile at your ugly fate

Waiting and waiting when it would end

People would often say others have problems too

Just to inspire you to fight the losing battle 

They just care for you and your annihilated soul

Yet we can't help it 

As the amount of pain gets so intense

That only god is the one you wish to see next

People are always there to help you 

But their double standards are the ones that would kill you 

It was not god's mistake to make emotions

It was we humans who had been tempted by the lust of greed and power

That we hurt the other soul just to see it burn

Love was a simple gift that now is a taboo 

All guys wanted was a girl who understands them 

Is there by their side 

But now that one heartbreak 

That one pure love they had 

Is now corrupted 

They just end up playing with other's emotions

If life would be so simple 

Then people would have been living in peace 

Love was just pure but

We humans have adulterated it 

It's now a mere status symbol to make you cool 

Where are the days when love was just about the company

The little fights and the small quirks 

Now its all lust and temptation 

The Game Of Life

What would you do when life breaks you down

What will you do when it causes a dilemma 

Would you be able to make the tough choice 

Or wait till it gets big

Life is never our friend

neither it is our foe 

It is nothing but a game 

Which we are the pawns of

We make each and every move that 

Makes our life different

It is our choices that makes us who we are 

One wrong choice would ruin our life 

We all have made some choices that we regret 

I have had my share of bad choices 

My addiction to certain things were cause of it 

Where I stand today is all because of it

Lost friendships, worst heartaches and my hate of life

The choices of our lives are such that 

We don't know what comes at us 

It is the unpredictable nature of life 

That it brings hurt after a bad choice 

It is our choices that makes us suffer

It is our mortal needs that brings in sufferings 

What would life be if it had spilled it's plan

Would it be this entertaining 

If life had been a fairytale like in fables 

If it played a part in our choice 

I am in love with a choice 

But would that choice be the turning point in my life 

Maybe she is the girl for me 

Or she is the girl that would make me relapse the sufferings 

This is the Game Of Life.
