"Hope is a terrible thing", they say,
"Drives a man insane"
Hope is but a cloudy day
You see through a broken pane...

-

Is it insanity
If one opts for yesterdays
Life made of yesterdays
Yesterdays yesterdays and yesterdays
Tuneful come back of you
Troubles taking a leave...

-

Can't I break the bond of life?
Can't I break the chain of
Yesterday today tomorrow?
Can't life be livable for a jiffy at the least?

-

Yesterday
My piano churned out
Music
And music
Brought you back
Pain seemed ephemeral

-

It seemed inviting
I plunged my fingers
on to them
A tune never heard never sounded
Came out
I seemed to have gone back to life
My piano

-

I touched the keys
Soft
As if waiting for days
Like parched soil in summer

-

You did not listen
You did not know how
Perhaps you'll listen now.
For you could not love them
But still their love was true
And when no hope is left inside on this starry starry side.
They'll take their lives as lovers often do.

-

Isn't it strange
That the winds dont whisper softly?
But cry out in pain
As the sky weeps
Poison in its tears
Poison in its veins?

-

Doesn't it bother you?
Why the seasons are dwindling?
Why the day has lost its meaning?
Why the spring is fading?

-

They're screaming more than ever
They're screaming at us all
They just want to be noticed
This is their clarion call

-
