those sleepless nights
twisting and turning
in bed
ghosts of the past
giving me company
and me
waiting
for
the angels
to sing
me a lullaby
those sleepless nights
twisting and turning
in bed
ghosts of the past
giving me company
and me
waiting
for
the angels
to sing
me a lullaby
what matters the most
…in the beginning
and in the end…
a breath
Hold my hand
Lest I fall
Walk with me
Lest I stallCare for me
Lest I rot
Lead the way
Forget me notHold me close
Lest I cry
Wipe my tears
Wipe them dryThis all I had wished for
But you went away
I miss you daddy
Wish you had stayed.
am I the same
person
who loved you madly
needed you desperately
and then
suddenly
I just stopped loving you
making me
an alien
to my earlier thoughts
loneliness
a state of the mind
of a mind boggled
by intricacies
self created
or
by giving importance
to inane relations
stay with me
for today is the winter solstice
and the day is too short

come you see your face
in the many scattered pieces
of my broken heart

flames of desire
have long burnt down
the embers still remain
puncture the rainbow
let colours of hope be scattered
onto this hopeless world
i no longer need you
but my world is not the same
without you in it
