Lost friend

Arrows of poisoned words

were aimed at my tender heart

one each for every passing second

Years had gone by, and

now my heart got used to it

I took all that pain

just for my guileless friend

who came home one fine morning

I gave him food and water

and a place to sleep

He was a pure soul

in a few weeks

I found him growing weak

I could not bear that sight

Though I stood up for him

and shielded him not failing

They had their arrows ready,

Arrows of poisoning words

Now poison filled my veins

I was no longer standing

I hoped on my knees

They would step back one day

They had no mercy at all

They aimed at him when I fell

Those arrows pierced his heart

Poison put him down

And I watched him die in pain

For my only love...

True you left me with those flaming memories?
They are burning my heart, melting
me down to your feet while you're
somewhere away feeling my pains.

I let you read my heart,
read my thoughts, share my joy.
I was wrapped in your dreams
trusted that we would never be apart.

Moments that lapsed in your lap
were long like ages meant forever.
Your soft strokes waved through my hair
waking me of my dreams
my love, at those lonely nights.

Knowing that it is hard, a coming back,
pray one day I am able to join your heart.
I save my hopes, until a call is heard,
to set myself down in you my love.
