A heavy heart

Maybe I am tired of fighting

Maybe I am not that strong

Maybe I don't really know where I belong

There's nothing more to give

There's nothing more to get

There's not much to worry, not much to fret

And still I go on

And still I breathe

And still I have nothing to bequeath

One day I'll be gone

One day at the crack of dawn

One day some place better I will be reborn

When I am gone...

When I am gone

And you miss me

Look up at the skies

And you will know

I am looking too

At the same star

That shines so bright

And twinkles each night

When I am gone

And you miss me

I will send kisses with the wind

And hope it will be planted

Right where my lips

Would want to be

Making you dance in delight

Making you feel so right

When I am gone

And you miss me

I will open my arms

And I will hold you

Hoping you will feel my touch

The air will smell of you so much

I will feel you like the blood in my vein

I will breathe you until we meet again

THE PANGS OF DESPAIR

Life is a burden that I carry, It grows heavier with each passing day,
Becomes deeper as I stride along the way,
The way that leads to nowhere,
There will be a day when I get there,
There, where I am alone,
As I’m destined to be,
There’s nobody, just my tears and me,
No fear I will know,
No feelings in tow,
As I go deeper and deeper into the dark,
My journey, it has no end,
With life’s burden I have to bend,
Bend lower and lower till I pray,
Let this journey end in my grave!!

GOODBYE DADDY DEAREST

A last hug,
A tearful tug,
And there he lay, his face so smug,

His beard was gray,
His body so fray,
And yet he was strong till his dying day!

A pyre was lit,
My heart wept a lil bit,
My daddy was gone, tried hard to accept it,

Each and every day,
I prayed in every way,
I wished daddy was here to stay,

Then one day, as his pillow I kissed,
Thought if I could tell him just how much he was missed,
I remembered all that he would say and all that he had wished,

So the next day, I bid him goodbye,
Held back my tears and tried not to cry,
And promised I would aim to be, all that he wanted, before I die!

THE LAST FAREWELL

Time moved on,

Years flitted by,

And I realize now, it's so hard to say goodbye,

Feel weak in the knees,

But, emotions are strong,

I know that once life starts, we must go on,

Leaving behind bittersweet memories,

Of the people I know and times spent here,

We were like a family, so close and dear!

Alas! the time has come,

When I must tread along,

The path I've waited for, so long,

But, fret not, the world is round,

For my journey here, from where we began,

I thank you all to say, Farewell all, until we meet again!
