i could have stayed forever - lovelorn

-



 I couldn't leave just yet but I had to

My faith was fading and there was nothing to cling to

The silver string that tied us turned to rust

I'm polishing it endlessly afraid that it might break off


I could have stayed forever in the back of your mind

Loved too deep and drowned too far in time

It was so terrible it made you seem nice

The black tears on my face is your dark night


I could have stayed forever in these hopeful lies

All I got was silence but the polite kind

I know you're hoping I get there soon

Past this cursed paradise and over the moon


Half burnt floorboards smelling of lavender rose

Stained glass windows I know I'll never be your home

I sometimes question if I'll be persuasive enough

To replace the books on your shelf, with the ones of myself


I could have stayed forever in the back of your mind

Loved too deep and drowned too far in time

It was so terrible it made you seem nice

The black tears on my face is your dark night


I could have stayed forever in these hopeful lies

All I got was silence but the polite kind

I know you're hoping I get there soon

Past this cursed paradise and over the moon


I always pictured us standing hand in hand going home for the weekend

But I'm waving to the back of your head as the train is leaving

I pray you care enough to ask if I made it in one piece

But I hope you notice that in your pocket, I left a part of me

48 hours of apprehension does wonders to your confidence

I'm afraid to head back to the city to find you missing

And I may never get back those years of trying

Till my will gave out and your will gave me nothing


I could have stayed forever in the back of your mind

Loved too deep and drowned too far in time

It was so terrible it made you seem nice

The black tears on my face is your dark night


I could have stayed forever in my hopeful lies

All I got was silence but the polite kind

I know you're hoping I get there soon

Past this cursed paradise and over the moon.

Goodbye

I knew I loved you  But I had to let you go You looked into my eyes I've never seen that look before That disappointment, with Which you learnt to forget me The paranoia slowly Killed me in your dreams And as you walked over  My grave, I could sense you  That bitter sweet decay That cold hearted shoulder With the sound of the day My body began to turn blue I deserved all the tears Except the ones I got from you It's tattooed in my mind The face with which you said goodbye Its the last thing I'll remember But the first to make me cry.  - Neha Bhende

Sapphire - CANDOUR

Eternity is a curse, one I brought upon myself Craving immortality wouldn't you wish to live forever too If you were given the chance to If you are never going to breathe your last then you will have nothing to live for Emotional saturation is an inevitability, nothing to look forward to If only I could dive into that sapphire I tell you I don't want you but you know I'm a liar Pity my broken designs so you can put me together Changing minds is not something I fancy either You called me an odd bird flying away from the right direction I deafen the noises I think is irrelevant but when it's you it seems to matter You ask me about shabby drawings on my skin that never seem to fade Incredibly hilarious, I find it, when your eyes magnify and I'm flooded with that colourful bane If only I could dive into that sapphire I tell you I don't want you but you know I'm a liar Pity my broken designs so you can put me together Changing minds is not something I fancy eithe...

Based On: Bates Motel Every inch of me craves exploring every inch of you I see you staring out of the train window, you're so new To this town, I swear it's as harmless as harmless can be Oh Marion! All you'll ever have to fear is me Sneak into the motel room that isn't yours Your red hair damp with the rain, there's something you should know He isn't who he claims to be, there's a dark cloud underneath Oh Marion! all I ask of you is to trust only me Let me drive you to his house I owe you an explanation See him dancing in their living room, he calls his wife his special I bet he told you to run away with him all the way to New Jersey Oh Marion! Forsake his beautiful lies and run away with the money I know how great she is, she reminds me of my Norma The two of you don't deserve his filth, he's poisoned your aura A misdemeanor at most, he thinks he's seen your ghost Oh Marion! Go ahead and break his window he should know what he'...

Little Things

Hold up my bag  While you walk to school with me Wait at the gate each day To ask me how my day has been I'll tell a lie " It was fine" You knew I wasn't alright Silently we drive back home Discussing what I'd like to eat at night Smile at me with no ounce of sadness As I show you what I'm proud of Pat me on the shoulder and say let's celebrate Somehow we always seem to have cake Two years old, dancing in the living room Barefoot on the carpet, no music heard All I remember is that video camera Backed up onto the family folder Smaller the drop, bigger the ocean Steeper the cliff, easier the climb Talk to me about the little things Trust that I'll remember the little things Habits die hard over centuries Battles cool down, in the wake of memories Call it a truce, because you're my parents Call it a truce, because I learned my lesson -Neha Bhende

Prometheus - CANDOUR

I bet you were everyone's teenage dream But my honey oak and your Philadelphia smoke Couldn't put two and two together even if it wanted to Call me Jezebel for all the things I've craved You mistake your hate for me for God given faith How did your jealousy, manage to outshine mine You have run out of your love for me And i have run out of patience tonight But take me back, take me back And all the things I should've I said like that I should have followed you down And out blindly into the crowd Take me back take me back And all the things I should've said like that I'd call you my Prometheus but the only thing you've given me is salty floods Did your halo shine brighter than the moon that night? When you walked out of one of our petty fights How long does is take to figure out that in every war both sides are fought So I can't be the only one found rotting in the mid summer sun Call me your existential crisis waiting for the wrong time to show up Questi...
