Ghost

There you are, a distant memory 

A ghost that continues to haunt me

Just a reminder of the love I feel

Another chapter in a story surreal


I've trusted my heart, I have no regrets

And You were as real as real could get

All I wanted was to love you and be true 

Because I always saw the real you 


I saw the pain and the darkness within

And the shadows you've tried to hide them in 

I've seen the truth, I've seen your heart

And I've known you right from the start 


I understand why I wasn't right 

And I know why you weren't willing to fight

The fault is mine, and mine alone

And that's why I, am still on my own


I guess there just wasn't meant to be

A future for the likes of you and me

Not romantically, but maybe as friends 

And yet if you need me, I'll be there till the end 


Will I hold it against you? no I won't 

Do I regret anything? No I don't 

The heart wants what the heart wants 

And it's my heart that you will always haunt 


In the throes of a crisis, you were my hope

You gave me meaning, and a reason to cope 

Though you were always a league above most

Now in my heart, you're nothing but a ghost

Our Country, Where Art Thou?

Oh Sri Lanka, what have you become? But a slave to corrupt, power hungry scum, A country once known for her welcoming smile, That nobody has seen in a really long while. Sadly, it was your people who let you down, Their thievery and greed stole your crown, They pillaged, plundered, and set you back, And it will take a miracle to get you on track. But once a glimmer of hope was ignited, Under one banner, the people stood united, They fought side by side for one great cause, To free you from the grip of those slimy claws. But “political' agendas quickly extinguished that flame, And once again they hang their heads in shame, Your legacy, your heritage and history were buried, By the very people your heart once carried. You’ve dealt with colonisers, wars even pandemics, Now you barely have fuel or food, it’s pathetic, You’ve even bowled over the world in the sports arena, How to restore that glory? The "leaders" have no idea. Your forefathers would be very disappointed, Seein

Cliché

I’ve always tried to be a good person, To be helpful, caring and kind, To be genuine with no real reason But apparently I’m arrogant and blind Is it wrong to believe there is good in our hearts? And that people can still take a stand? Since when is it weak and when did we start, Accepting that savagery is grand? Am I the only one who still believes in romance? And love in its unconditional form? You’ll never really know if you don’t take a chance And face what you’re hiding from Am I the only one left who sees right from wrong? And believes that there is always hope around? Kindness isn’t weak; in fact it makes you strong Even if in this hectic world, help can always be found There’s always someone willing to listen to you To lend an ear, a hand or a shoulder to cry on Someone to help you muscle through I believe in this, and that not everyone is a moron And that there is still good out there But I guess that’s not ho

Tears

Why do we only cry behind closed doors? Has nobody ever cried in public before? We’re human beings after all, that’s a fact So why can’t we behave with a little tact? Tears are a human’s purest sign of emotion It is not a sign of weakness or a demotion For even the upmost joy can bring one to tears And so can the realization, of our biggest fears Have you ever cried at a movie at all? Or felt even the tiniest tear drop fall? Remember when you heard certain lyrics of a song? How can the world believe it’s wrong? Whether we realize it or not, it makes life grand It means we can relate and that we understand They should bring us closer and not tear us apart But these tough folks, don’t know where to start Tears makes us real, warm and maybe even bold As opposed to robotic, heartless and cold But then, people are horrid, selfish and cruel They think they’re strong, so they act like fools Tears are not something to laugh at or mock It’s something
