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
