In a moment….

In a moment, we laughed and cried
In a moment, I soared so high
In a moment, I enjoyed like no one could
Then in a moment our world was shattered
In a moment ,the beautiful world turned into a cruel one
In a moment, they took away so many happy lives
In a moment , I saw my love in terrible pain
In a moment, all my powers became useless
In a moment, all my money became worthless
In a moment, I felt the pain of a bullet which pierced my flesh
In a moment, I tried to gather all my life in my mind
In a moment, I saw you leave to heaven
In that moment, nothing mattered much to me but to be with you
Then in a moment all my pain died,
In a moment the world became so calm again
In a moment, I was with you again….

Funeral

The mourning and wailing
Of the dear ones, all through day and night
Sobbing heartbroken at the loss of a life
Come all sort of people to share the pain
There are the cries of guilt
There are the cries of pain
And there are some special ones
Who cry for fake
Some don’t know how to react
Or how to console
Some stand in silence
Wonder what they think
Some are busy greeting others
And sharing the happenings of their lives
After the funeral everyone goes away
Only a few stay to help in the daily chores
People move on with their lives
This is what we all are worth
In a moment everything ends
Only a few would remain there to remember us
And really regret the loss

Betrayal

We used to be so close
Sharing all that one knows
There was no place for secrets
Turning over every leaflet

We used to have so much fun
Roam around under the sun
You listened to my silliest of thoughts
Loved the way we patched after we fought

Oh! How I miss those days
Let’s try to figure out a way
As to where we went wrong?
You will realize where you belong
Why are you trying to back out?
Oh! You are making me freak out

But now things have changed
Leaving our lives deranged
You have gone too far away
And I am here in dismay

With you my time used to fly
Now all the beauty turned wry
Struggling to kill the time
Pleading to get over the grime

Now you got new friends to care for
No time to look back any more
What’s most hurting is to go on
And wait for someone who is unknown

Just to know about you
Learned that you been lying a lot too
Trusted you like a blind fool always
But you are fooling no one else but yourself
I realize why you betrayed
Yes, certainly you have changed
For a friend in a shade
Who in the end is going to evade

I wish you could accept
I wish you could see
What you are doing to self
Trusting someone who doesn’t care

Oh! How I miss those days
Let’s try to figure out a way
As to where we went wrong
You will realize where you belong
Why are you trying to back out?
Oh! You are making me freak out

Not going to repent anymore
I know I got to move on
I’ll do what I should have done before
Will get started right on

But you get one thing clear
That I am the same old friend dear
Even though you don’t need me now
I am there to help when you call

Oh! I still miss those days……
