Live

Published on by Harpreet ChhachhiaLeave a comment

Love makes you hope,
Hope makes you weak;
Love shows you dreams,
Hope lets you seek.

Life sends you warnings,
Hope takes away fear;
Folk show their colours,
Hope makes them unclear.

Life’s wounds fester lessons,
Love unlearns to forgive;
Tears gather over smiles,
Love teaches life to live.

Prevail

I have seen myself in the mirror,
I have held myself as I cried,
I tore through the pain and carried on,
Even when the ones I loved died.

I have rallied through years of abuse,
Hate came from a father, much less strangers,
Yet I’ve never given up on love and hope,
Though each presents its own dangers.

I have repaired my heart several times,
And still choose to let new love hold it,
I have lost my pride to buy back hope,
After mostly all my lovers have sold it.

So I may have a fear of crumbling again,
When all my efforts in you may yet fail;
But I certainly know the strength in me,
Shall, come what may, make me prevail.

Give Up

I gave up this night,
When you moved away,
My arm dropped from you –
You didn’t let it stay.

I felt the hurt again;
And it drove my sleep away;
You knew I shrivelled;
Yet you slept on anyway.

I am so tired of this:
Being shunned for touch;
Despite the sweat and heat,
It’s really not much.

So when you let me go,
I decided I won’t fight,
I gave you your comfort,
And I gave up tonight.
