Heavy Pathway
Guilt lays a heavy pathway,
Across to the fields of shame,
How many times have you said,
I won't go there again?
It's the blessings of hindsight,
That make you curse your luck,
Re-running all you ever did,
As if all of that's enough,
To take away the hurting,
You placed at people's doors,
Only now you've come to realise,
That fate really does keep score,
Of all your bad decisions,
Your selfish, stubborn streak,
Has lead you back to this path,
Where your pain and misery meet.

Hooks
What hooks will catch you?
You always slither free,
It's like you don't want to be caught,
By someone like me.
What bait will snare you?
You're so hard to pin down,
When I try to find you,
You're never around.
What looks will stop you?
You're always turning away,
It's like I don't have the power,
To make you stay.
What words will enthrall you?
Because when I try to speak,
I get lost within your eyes,
Leaving me so weak.

Vicious Games
Like a stone.
Falling from your hands,
As soon as I became,
Surplus to your plans.
You couldn't get away,
Just fast enough,
When things got heavy,
And the road got tough.
Like a fire,
You burned your hands,
You played with my feelings,
And you didn't give a damn,
You couldn't wait long enough,
Before you ran away,
I hope one day you're hurt by,
The vicious games you play.

Food
I starved myself,
It was my only control,
Or I binged on food,
Then made myself sick,
Wretching over porcelain,
Tears welling in my eyes,
All because I had no voice,
To defend myself.
You kept finding fault with me,
But I was already wrong,
Making excuses to hide food,
Because I was so fat.
Or at least to me I was,
Wearing more clothes to disguise,
How frail I had become,
Because I felt I had no life.
©clifton -
Cutting
Before I was strong,
And this whole world,
Seemed determined,
To destroy me,
I used to cut myself,
And cry,
From the guilt,
And the gnawing shame.
I used to hide,
In the bathroom,
Slicing slowly,
To relieve my anguish,
For no matter what,
Behind long sleeves,
The escape cutting gave me,
Outweighed all the pain.

Indelible
I don't think we get a second time,
To make changes once we've gone.
Everything past is indelible,
Like the notes within a song.
Why do we strive for immortality,
Whilst ignoring what we've got?
I look around at how we are,
And it's so clear we've all forgot,
That we don't get long to matter,
In this story of mankind,
Soon we've become a chapter,
That's been left far behind.
So when we're pushing for the future,
It seems obvious to me,
That the great and glorious life,
Is something we're never going to see.

Dark Heaven
Dark heaven,
You surround me,
And all I can think,
Is I can't live without you,
I'm scared,
But so excited,
I'm inseprably yours,
Because of what you do.
Dark heaven,
You baptise me,
In the greatest joy,
Until I am saved,
I'm alive,
Because you live,
And I love you,
Because you're heaven made.

Jesus
Jesus, stop me crying,
They're humanity's dried tears,
From hardened hearts,
That won't open after all those years.
They're the dusty tracks of guilt,
That lead back to their free will,
To choose not to listen,
They refuse to hear you still.
Jesus, stop me hurting,
It's the innocent's raw pain,
Tortured for their paths of peace,
Please take them back again.
So they can be beside still waters,
In the bosom of your faith,
Instead of being victimised,
For wanting nothing but your grace.

Kill Fear
Cross swords with your fear,
In a bloodied, bitter duel,
Push back against its violence,
Make it yield to you.
Meet it at the break of dawn,
Pistols in your hands,
Take aim and fire for freedom,
So fear cannot destroy your plans.
Shout it down with knowledge,
Be strong, and stamp it flat,
Nail it to the cold earth,
So it won't ever once come back,
Arm wrestle it with power,
Formed from knowing you can win,
You can achieve the highest highs,
When you kill fear from within.
©clifton -
On Fire
On fire,
Dreaming of my heart's desire,
There's no better prize,
To which I'd aspire.
Burning up,
Hoping to lift the victor's cup,
Pressed to his lips,
I'd never get enough.
Flames rise,
Heating the gold within my eyes,
I must succeed in my quest,
Or I feel my heart will die.
Emanating glow,
I burn for him more than he knows,
Wishing I was always his,
I just won't let this go.

No fire can forge
No Ice can freeze
No heat can melt
No wind can bend
No water can drown
Even the unfathomable skies
Will fail to pull us apart
Such is the bond of our love
Every being
Every mortal
Every immortal
Even the elements of nature
And time itself
Shall bow down
As long as you hold my hand
The bond we so everlastingly cherish
Shall stay
And I shall do right by your side

By @rayenasarkarFirecrackers
I stood at the balcony
And saw the birds chirping horribly
It was the pollution again
Which made them feel unmerrily
I wish those fireworks can be stopped,
I wish the people lighting them can be poked,
But it was not so easy as i spoke
The sky was becoming foggier,
But,the people were not stopping 'til they made it deadlier,
It was me ,who stopped many, but it was of no effect,
it made them more crazier,
They all became revenger and cracked heavier,
"Everyone thought me fool",
As they thought bursting crackers were cool,
They made fun of me as in my words were drool

LIFE
"LIFE"
States that follows birth,
And states that precedes death.
Foetus are weeping for life,
Beings are slaughtering to death.
The state of being alive,
And state of being living.
life has turned to mysterious place,
Where some people are living dead.
Oh! What a tremendous loss,
Some life have made from the source.
Partying here, starving there,
Like life has no fear.
Man's life on this planet is weird,
Been marked by continual conflict.
Creator come for our rescue,
For us to live a life without blemish.

Broken vessels
We've been broken,
yet we've been made whole.
We've been lost,
yet we've been found.
We are dying to scream, yet we are dying in pieces of unsaid words.
Pieces who once made us whole.
Pieces who once have been found.
Pieces that lost their voices when the tempest came.
These pieces that made broken vessels new again are lost in the tempest of the world,
where the rain falls over souls, and the sun
is fighting to break through the broken vessels again and again.
And now, death and life is in the power of our strenght.
Cause we are both the storm and the sun.
Darkness and light

Sober
When love arrives, nothing else matters.
When love leaves, everything matters.
The words you said, the tears you shed.
The things you wish you did't say.
The things you regret now, but not then
As you say: I was not sober.
I got drunk with love, and now i'm broke.
I spent every piece of me, for a love potion.
I let it consume me, get inside my veins and now i'm drunk with love.
But how will i live, now that i'm sober?
Without your love?
Now it's just me
Then, it was love, made from me and you.
So what it' s left now?
What matters when love leaves and you are sober?
You.
You as a beautiful human.
You as love itself.
Beautiful, wild, and sober.
Sober of all of the pain, tears and even joy.
Because you are you.
Nobody can take that from you.
