love-my way

Love – My Way

What is the one emotion that has everyone mystified? What is that one emotion that has started as many wars as it has ended? What emotion has had more plays, songs, stories written about it than anything else? Love is that one emotion that can transform enemies into friends and friends into enemies.  I’ve had my share of losing and making friends, all because of love. Here is something I’ve wanted to scream out loud.

With My Sealed Lips:

How can I say it to you with my lips sealed?
Unheard, the words scream in my heart
Now that you’ve left; you’ve done your part
How can I call you back, with my lips still sealed?

I’ve got to stand up and face the truth, how?
That you’re not it, you’re no good
But I think how it would
Be to feel you around; to be “you and me” right now

My eyes close to see you in my dreams
And open to find you in my mind
It used to be close and comfy; I’m walking behind
With my lips still sealed, with the silent screams

I wouldn’t repeat those three words again and again
Instead I would show how those words mean you
But now that I can’t open my lips, I would nod to you
Which would mean my sweet surrender; no pain

But how could I even utter a word, with my lips sealed?
Pushing you away would be the best it seems
But you’ll still be there to catch me in my dreams
Where I can’t scream, with my lips still sealed!
