Quietly you lived,
Quietly you bore;
Quietly you made,
Quietly you tore;
Quietly in time,
Quietly you learned;
Quietly with age,
Quietly you burned;
Quietly they lied,
Quietly forswore;
Quietly you must,
Quietly let go.

A Lie
I lied today
To save my pride.
Now there’re more truths
To catch and hide.
I hate lying.
It’s innovation
Which needs constant
Manipulation.
I lied to thwart
Being lied about;
Unused to shams,
I’m filled with doubt.
Did I’ve to lie
To those I know well?
I feel as though
I am in hell.
I’m snared by pride:
An obligation;
Now I need a way
Out of this situation.
As Whole
this is my life
a walk in the dark
a smile with a price
a devouring fire when all i wanted was a spark.
this is what remains
nothing to see ahead
nothing but tears and pains
nothing but a struggle to earn some bread.
this is what love grows
a heart that never dies
despite those million throws
of cheating, of slanders, of deceits and lies.
this is all I am left with
as life corrodes the body and soul
and I try to hold on to each bit
but cannot figure out which part was the complete whole.
