VOYAGE... THE VALLEY AND BACK

JUST FOOLED!


How quickly was my heart ripped off my chest?
By my own hand indeed
The pain I felt, yet was clouded by the promise
The offering was made, but in a hurry

Was it the sweet scent of a rosy bed from which I just emerged?
My eyes, not accustomed to this new light
But my confidence was the source

I hardened my heart to the words of advice
All that glitters… All that glitters…
My heart won a battle it should have lost

What fool recognizes his folly? Till the very end!
Time, Energy, Resources all spent
For the lesson was well learnt

My heart still craves but the sooner I learn, the farther the grave
Fool me once… They said
I know, once is enough?
The same mistake? Never to me

I emerge from the flames like a PHOENIX
My song and my tears

Stronger is my will
This feeling is my new second nature
The pain of the past shall guide me through future travails
My heart now barely beats
And the numbness I feel will take a while

It will beat again, and again
And with each beat, I shall bleed myself
Never to be, thus fooled
My HEART I will GUARD


FROZEN

It warmed my heart each time I saw you and it was a longing yet to be satisfied
I stood in awe as you blossomed before my eyes, my heart bled freely and willingly
The offering was to be made, I had no objection, I was the lamb, willing and able

The price, foolish though it sounded, but, yes! It was love again

But my heart was jolted, not by rejection or betrayal
Hell had frozen over and so was my heart
Had I lost it? That ability to love?
Maybe it was just you, but then again, it was just you

My heart froze and my eyes darkened, for a love lost is never found
It was cold all along, it was just my warmth… but for how long
