I was in pain, reached out to her
confided fears to my soul sister
To check my nerves and tell me why
I lose always that I hold high
In her confide, my trembling heart
flashbacks rehearsed and memory’s chart
layed down, as I begged for mercy
what was my fault, pls tell me why
lowered eyes and tightened lips
tongue tied, words burried deep
so read my mind as they imply
the afterthoughts, try tell me why
She looked at me n gave a sigh
Be patient, on your faith rely
I gazed her glance, my keen ear cry
To at once know, ‘please tell me why’
Tighter you hold,tighter your grip
free flowing life, through cracks may slip
Open your fist, let it breath, let it fly
let a new dawn break open in your eye
Did the whys and replies, lie right in my head?
I searched, I roamed the whole world instead
my inner voice screamed to let go and try
to embrace the pain and let sorrow die
