I will remember you

5 years later
Time goes by fast
Got my memories
and they will last
I try to keep it simple
cause I hate goodbyes
And I try to keep it simple
by telling myself that

I, I Will remember you
and all of the things
that we've gone through
There is so much I can say
but words get in the way
So we're not together
I will remember you

We're a picture
In my mind
When I wanna find you
I just close my eyes
You'll never be that far from me
So don't say goodbye 'cause
You'll never be that far from me
I'm telling myself

That I, I will remember you
And all of the things that we've gone through
There is so much I can say
but words get in the way
So we're not together
I will remember you

You were there when I needed a friend
Thank you thank you
I never told you how much that meant
Gotta thank you, thank you

I will remember you
And all of the things that we've gone through
There is so much I can say
but words get in the way

So, I,I will remember you
And all of the things that we've gone through
There is so much I can say
but words get in the way so,
We're not together
I will remember..
We're not together
I will remember you

Reboot/Requiem

I observe a thousand bodies everyday,

And a few souls too,

Wandering, going where life takes them,

Wondering, if they'll be happy too.

What came to them easily once,

Has been destroyed by their troubles,

There are answers to be given, mouths to be fed,

Their joy lies shattered somewhere in the rubble.

Why do they meet single-serving demons?

Who feed on their heart, and leave them with no choice.

But to throw away their dreams,

To make ends meet, amidst all the noise.

Why is love man's biggest strength?

When all it does is weaken the heart,

And leave him in withdrawal after a brief romance

Its a disease few could outsmart.

So Lord, forgive this creature who is in pain,

Take away his breath as he is better off without,

Or make everything plentiful so he doesn't feel wronged

In this race of life, don't leave him out.

I am Jack's flawed poetry

I am Jack's broken back

Broken from lifting the weight of the world,

From making others troubles mine,

Right from the time my fingers were curled

I am Jack's raised brows,

Raised from the skepticism towards all around me,

Raised from the trust no one could gain,

Right since when I could first see

I am Jack's seething anger,

Seething from the love I never got back,

from the love they never deserved,

Right since humanity they began to lack.

I am Jack's fried brain,

Fried from doing the right things,

From watching out for them while they smoked,

Right since they saw those Pretty Young Things.

I am Jack's misplaced sense of righteousness,

Misplaced due to lack of a frame of reference,

Due to the botched up anesthesia of my brain,

Ever since I sat on this fence.

I am Jack's diabolical mind,

Diabolical since Nineteen Eighty Six,

Since knowing what kind of a place this was,

You want to know  too? Come, let me get you a fix.

Something About You

I know we have only met,

But you feel it too, right?

Like this was meant to be, like it was set.

And this is exactly where we should be, its just right!

I know you think we're going too fast,

But when we're together, isnt it just great?

Like nothing could spoil it, not even the past,

We're here now, and its ours to take.

I know you think I'm a little crazy,

To fall like that, but isn't it fun?

To forget everything else, oh its so so  crazy,

To hold you close, and just run.

I know you're just a little scared,

That this dream doesn't come crashing down,

but baby, together we'll do this, our tomorrow is shared,

Just close your eyes, take my hand and come around.

I know there's something about you,

Which will make things alright,

I knew it before I met you,

I'll meet you and everything will be alright.

What Dreams May Come

The stars make gentle twinkling sounds,

The guys want to have a couple of  more rounds,

Have had enough for tonight, am drowned,

But will wait for my glass, still have to be found

Am driven home, like a helpless dog,

The house is all sand and fog,

Or so it seems to the inebriated mind

A smile breaks out coz I don't mind

Curl up in my bed like i was 6 years old

When stars were brighter, and stories were told

By mom and I let go in her arms

Where joy was found and there was calm

But now I'm grown up, I cant do that!

Who pretends to need caring, no i can't do that!

So i'll just play it to the stage, and be myself

When i want to run away, let go of myself

So i take refuge in my dreams

Where everything is great, or so it seems,

Everyone is how i want them to be, everyone is good

I know its not real, coz life is never that good

But I choose to live here, hour after hour, day after day,

Since its the one place I'm happy, and someday

Things may turn out that way, or they may not

But I'll always have my dreams, and no one can take them away.

Tantalus

With a mind as fickle as rain,
With a crazy heart for a brain,
I always thought I wanted new,
Never noticing, who I lost, I'm left with so few

Since long, I have craved movement and flight,
Thought I would go from darkness to light,
Hoped to find many new colors, new words,
Wished to travel to a thousand new worlds.

So I journeyed across hills and mountains,
And bathed in numerous rivers and fountains,
Finding new friends along the way,
But leaving the old ones, not letting them stay.

Have been a vagabond for years together,
Have soared in the skies, but can't fly forever,
Bring me down mother, as I have forgotten my land,
Before everyone I love, slip away like sand

Take me home now, as I have learnt my lesson,
I want to rest now, I have no more questions,
I know where I want to be, No more illusions,
Home is where I belong, no more delusions.

A kid always wants out, because he is on a leash,
Untie him early, let him know at least
For himself, the kind of place this is
Pretty damn Perfect, is just the kind of maze this is.
