You Were Mine

There has been a time when everything was mine,
There has been a time when days were not empty,
There has been a time when the morning was mine,
There has been a time when sights were not empty.

The days started betraying me,
Even the nights languished for me,
All stars fell apart,
But they couldn't replace my heart.

The way you have been nice,
We tried for the fire and ice,
The mystery still finds the place in you,
I wish I could displace you.

There has been a deep perception,
You thought to have a negotiation,
All there was in the twilight,
Found no one to the extent of my delight.

There has been a sense of soul long back,
Now the senses are diminishing,
You pray to the almighty,
Never back to the act of flourishing.

For all the reasons I never felt before,
For all the reasons I never shed the tear,
For all the reasons I never had a heart,
For all the reasons finally we set apart.

LOVE KILLS

And each man kills the thing he loves,

By all let this be heard,

Some do it with a bitter look,

Some with a flattering word,

The coward does it with a kiss,

The brave man with a sword.
