Should I breakdown



Should I break down?

Why shouldn’t I kneel and cry
When I see my love passing by
Without looking back even once,
As she drifts away from my life?
Her eyes don’t even notice
That I am dying for a glance.

So why shouldn’t I brake?
As every one else does in a lifetime.
If the day brakes before the sun,
And the sun brakes before the night
As the night does before the stars
And the skies brake before thunderstorms? ( moonlights)

Now it is my time to brake down and die,
I am not as strong as I used to think,
Love has proved me so wrong,
It overpowers all, all over the world,
Even a flower is strongest than I,
Since it represents love at heart.

Deceit has played me so good,
Has made my life time a fool,
I broke all the boundaries of challenge
Pretending to be a warrior of romance,
Guarding my honor with the shield
Of integrity, sacrificing my love.

What world am I forsaken,
If all I have begotten is a cold heart
 Hardened by my blinded hopes.
Now, I can see why you are just passing through
Into your own world as I brake and lose direction
In my final act, as a gladiator of faith.

For now, it is time for me to throw away
The keys of my heart, to open the doors
Of my soul and my life to a new horizon,
To dispose of my armor, my shield and sword
To beget a new paradise as I lie down and die,
As I am casted away in a chariots of the angels.
