If I Could Go Back

If I Could Go Back



For every time that I broke down

There was a fake smile to cover the frown
I hide behind lies when things got tough 
Forced myself to think it was enough 
My tears were masked by the rain
Unseen by all, alone with my pain
Each night was a cover to hide my cries 
To keep from showing all these lies
If I could go back, I'd change it all
Stop myself from starting to fall
Consumed by hatred, I lost all sight
I knew what was wrong but it felt so right
I couldn't live without the pain
Or the anger pulsing through my vein
Each truth a lie I learned to hold 
While watching each one start to unfold
If I could go back, all that would change
These diamond lies wouldn't seem so strange 
I'd undo my lies and make them true 
Hold on tightly to all that I do
Forget the bad, and think of only each day
And what's to come, without dismay
I'd forget that I cried those tears 
Remember only every one of my fears
I'd try to be everything that I lost
Before I fell, remember the cost 
Hope for the best, and try to be
All that died when I lost me
I'd turn back time to redo all this
And relive the life I almost missed 
Only if I could turn it back
I'd find everything that I started to lack 
No longer would fake smiles appear 
They'd be true with nothing to fear 
It'd be as though it was a dream 
That came one night to make it seem 
As though this was really true 
But now there's only one thing I must do
Go back in time and erase this pain
Wash it away on rivers of rain
All this could happen if I went back
And once again in my life, I'd be on the right track.

The Night You Disappeared

By
We met by chance, not looking, not planning, Two souls drifting, somehow landing. A match, a spark, a quiet kind of glow, A vibe we didn’t force, it just began to grow. That one long night, we talked till light, No masks, no filters, it all felt right. Laughter in the pauses, truth in every line, For a moment, it felt like you were already mine. But just like that... you slipped away, No warning, no reason, not a word to say. You disappeared into silence, left me in the blue, And I’m still here, wondering what happened to you. I don’t blame you. Maybe life pulled you fast, Or maybe we were a flame not meant to last. Still, I replay those hours in my head, Every word, every laugh, every little thing you said. Like truth or dare. I miss you, not just your name on my screen, But the way your presence made everything feel serene. It’s strange, how someone so briefly known Can leave behind an ache so deeply grown. But I carry no anger, only this quiet ache, A gentle hope that time can’t bre...

I'm Sorry, I can't live with out you.

With every breath, I miss you so,  A broken heart, with love to show. Your absence, a storm that won't end, In shadows deep, where my sorrows blend. I remember that night we hid on the roof,   Long hangouts on the stairs, hidden from truth.   The first time I saw you, a vision so bright,   We skipped through our days, chasing the light. We bunked our classes for amusement park rides,   Where laughter and joy were the only guides.   In private tuitions, our eyes would meet,   In class parties, your jealousy made my heart beat. I’d walk behind you, to school, every day,   Following closely, not a word to say.   Your mother beside you, I stayed out of sight,   But my heart was yours, from morning to night. We strolled by the sea, danced in the rain,   In taxis and whispers, where love knew no pain.   But those days have faded, where did they go?   We lost...

Whenever I’m alone

By
Whenever I’m alone, u always come to me & take me in ur arms, whenever I’m alone. I always hear ur voice, whispering in my ears Those words which u tell me, “I care 4 u dear” Whenever I’m alone, & lost in the darkness of this world U r always there 2 hold my hands & lead my way. Whenever I’m alone, I always feel u sitting beside me holding me loving & saying “I’m always ur’s”
