When voices can’t be trusted
and the smiles are just a lie,
When ears turn deaf and
the heart is left alone to cry.
When promises are broken and
the world around seems to crumble,
Words appear inadequate
and the mind begins to fail.
When loneliness is your only company
Amidst all the friends, and,
the person(s) you love and hate the most
is no different but the same.
When memories are all you have left
and life begins to stagnate
When dreams and nightmares are the same
and insomnia appears desirable
When you begin to enjoy the sadness
and derive pleasure by hurting
When melancholy appears crowded and
crowds appear lonely.
When every pretty girl reminds you
of what you lost years back.
and you still desire the same lap
to stare into that pure and serene face
You know the time has come
When all you do is, sigh
its time to get a life
and stop living a lie.
