Invisible in Her Eyes

i see her at the hallway
walking towards me
i try to look normal
and talk to her once

she walks past me,
barely acknowledging my existence
and i'm frozen for a second
i turn around to talk to her
but she's long gone

it happens everyday
though i can't seem to get over,
the fact that
in her world
i'll always be invisible

Fake Smiles

smiling faces all around
makes us think that they are all happy
is it just me who's always sad?
i keep asking

but look in closer
and i realize
that sadness is buried beneath the skin
forced to stay deep down

wearing fake smiles
they go about with their lives
for how long can they keep it down?
the sadness and the lies,
will they break out
and take off the fake smiles

Slow Down

all she wanted was to cross the street
to get her little brother an ice cream

were you in such a hurry,
that you couldn't slow down for a minute

an innocent little girl
lying on the yellow crossing
covered with blood,
her smile i cannot see

all alone at home
her brother eagerly awaits
till his loving sister,
brings him an ice cream

but he doesn't know
that she won't be back,
ever again

Memories of a Convict : A Letter From a Prison Cell

the silence surrounds me
accompanied by darkness
the candle in the corner
is non existent

if you were here
you'd feel the smell
but i do not
maybe i'm used to it

sitting in the corner
i look back at my life
what it's been

the time i spent with you
i keep thinking of
i guess it's hard to forget,
the best things in life

i can only think
of how different my life would have been,
if i hadn't pulled the trigger

but i guess it's too late
regrets won't bring you back,
or take me out of this prison cell

Memories of a Convict : Minutes of a Murder

i still can't get it out of my head
the email that i read yesterday
a nest that took years to build
came down,
as i read the last lines of it

the bartender became my best friend
and alcohol replaced the blood within me

consumed with rage,disappointment & hatred
i headed back to the place,
which used to be our nest

there she was,
smiling at the door step
like she always does

i faked a smile
and went to our room
the gun in the drawer
was now in my hand

as she came in
i turned around and hit her
helplessly on the floor,
she tried to move

the gun pointed at her,
with a finger on a trigger
i tried not to give in

but i failed,
the demon within me took over
while i closed my eyes

Was It Love?

i saw you yesterday,
with your new lover
you were smiling and having a good time

was our love so easy to forget?
didn't it mean anything at all?
all those wonderful years,
forgotten within a matter of days

here i am,
drowning in sorrow
while you are swimming in a pool of joy

it'll be easier for me to move on now
knowing that you really didn't love me
as true love is hard to forget

The Secret Affair

we've been doing this for sometime now
sneaking behind everyones back
getting lost in our own fantasies

we lie to the people who love us
and cheat on those who exchanged rings with us
we know it is wrong
yet we continue to do it

there were times when we were worried
that our secret would be unearthed
but now we don't really care

her physique makes me forget
the commitments in my life
and the fear of losing my love
vanishes into thin air

once my hands meets her skin,
to take a journey on her curves
and our lips touch each others
a rush of lusty emotions
runs through our bodies

lust has overtaken the love,
that surrounded our lives
it will be short lived
but till it ends,
we will continue
our secret affair

The Wrong Girl

when i'm walking down the beach with her
holding hands,
watching the sunset
i wish i was with you

i know we said our goodbyes
but i guess my heart didn't agree
cause the love within me
is still for you

i've tried and tried
to ignore what i'm feeling
telling myself,
that i should work it out with her

all efforts have been in vain
as i've come to realize
that i'm with the wrong girl

A New World

we came into this world as strangers
grew up in different worlds
i never knew that you existed

but on a bright sunny day
i saw you across the mall
that's when everything changed

now you are everywhere i go,
everywhere i look
you've become my world

all i want now
is for you to let me into your world
so that,
we can make a world of our own

for you to be in my memories
and me in yours,
here on now
to hold on to each other
to grow old together
