meaningless

 We die trying to prove the worth of our salt,

and for what!

We fight to live another day,

and for what!

No glory awaits us

No throne of gold lies empty

Just a fool's desire to die for other's fight

blinding all 

Chasing what will never be ours

we betray those who were dear

Lost in this maze till the very end

Trapped in shackles of fear

False hope fuels this mindless hunt

Few will make it till the end

A Pyrrhic victory awaits those 

In the graveyard of dreams dead

regret

 you said you saw you in me

that's how we began

a lot of words

almost a small lifetime spent 

over coffee and laughs silly

among the stars

 

You saw a part of me

I kept hidden, almost buried

you said you understood

I laid my heart bare


nights spent discussing the days dailys

your misfortunes

my sarcasm

seemed like a perfect match


We lost track of time

every time

I thought it was one-of-a-kind


It's been a year since

I first laid eyes on you

the very first time we forgot there was a world outside us two


Now all I have is pain

the voice I longed to hear

is now one I dread

I thought it was pure, but it was rotten

all I have is regret

 

You picked the crack 

you knew would fissure the worst

the jabs didn't stop

you turned it into a caustic hell

What did I do to deserve that?

Tell me, was it how much I cared

or was it too honest for your shallow self


Is it all I meant to you

8 hours is all it took for you to seek another

I had to walk away

the ashes of what it was

chocked me, me gasping for some breath

 

Meaningless for you, haunting for me

I hope you get exactly what your deserve
