But life still goes on

Your love for me sifted, the moment i drifted;

As crippled i was, the way love was twisted

It hung on a thread, like some mustard on bread

Between truth and lie, our trust had been tested

I checked on my senses in my best defences

But something had changed, it wasn’t my mind

So sure it had ended, and nothing could’ve mended

The shattered pieces of dreams and our hearts

It took me a month to act like a monk

Bereft of the feelings, I put on a mask

But out of the blue, you gave me a clue

That love still was there, lying in the dark

I held on to you, like the grass and the dew

I prayed for us to be one, till the end of the time.

But temperatures soared and again you were bored

Again i was left with myself and the pain

This time i was sure, for me you’re no more

I would not be planting my heart in the sand

It took me a while to bring back my smile

For facing the world is the best thing in life

Some nights haunt me long, when i hear a song

For it then reminds me of days now bygone

Someday I’ll learn, to laugh at the burns

For people come and leave, but life still goes on.
