With or without You ..



It started out as dew
that, from my eyes
set forth to make way to you ..

It fell on the ground
Yet there was no sound
You were .. no where to be found

The moist earth beneath my feet
ready to soak my tears
but not the pain

How far can I go playing inane ?

With or without you ...

The wetness of my cheek
had now begun to dry
but the thoughts
still would lead me to you

Being alone,
I thought
that I grew up with my share of hollow
yet, it now strangely seems . .

I fought these feelings
when I found you
I fight them .. again

With or without you ...

In my sleep
my hands reach out
Even as to the world
I keep mum .. of this fall

As every thought brings
you close
The words never said
were implicit to the core

More than ever before ..

In every day of the week
with every thought that
I would speak and
All that I'd keep within
I would wait for you to make me start
and yet never let us begin ..

Of every story that
I'd still dream
If fate wouldn't have intervened
Could I have lit up this dream?

With or without you ...

I wished for you to give me joy
Every little happiness,
my life .. to which
I was coy

To make me see the fruits of my pain,
be my partner, dance in the rain

If I'd ever cry alone
you'd be my tear
Emanate from me
and that smile then
would follow soon
Relieving me from my fears

Of everything that began
nothing seems to continue

With or without you ...

I never wished the memories
If only they could go
Of days with no beginnings
Days, when the time had heart
Moments that we were never apart

Yet I see things from those eyes
I smile at those pretty lies
the ones that still put this truth to shame
A picture of two with broken smiles
and
faded names ..

I would never know
if you felt it too ..
I felt forever
there's a lot more we
could make
Of what we couldn't pursue

With or without you ...

I still look for reasons
as the void points to the truth
Living for the consequences
the treason would accrue ..

And I wait for the blur to fall
the winds to cease
for me to extol

The things that now end
Of shapeless roads now twist and bend
the ways that narrow
The smile I can no longer pretend ..

The mind floats when the heart doesn't react
keeping the love and freedom sacred

To all that now we may be able to do ...

With or without you ...


I wish you knew
the feelings
that were always in my heart
Maybe the ones you chose to speak of
were the ones that couldn't keep us far ..

What would I not give
To make it go away ..
But for something besides you
If I ever did hold ...

Did life give us our due ?
Either ways
I'm alive
and must continue

With or without you ...
