Promise me a sunshine song
Forever and a day
She sang
As if perfect were such a solace
But darker broods oft lingered there
And liars made quite honest
I made a rendezvous
Of bitter state
Expecting just as worse
But brought down as such
The jack of trades
Master yet of some
And mourning rites
Forever hummed in tune
Quiet evermore
Future lost
That thing denied
Like death in silence still
But take the strength
Forget the pain
Let iron be your will
Death denied
Keep soft pride and more
In solemn proactivity
Forget me nots will lace
The quiet grave
Which echoes more than hard
As broken hearts
When you gave everything
And promised even your life
Now lie still
Seek lingered sleep
Time will heal all wounds they say
“Lies” you sneer
You carry all
The hurt from decades gone
You fail to heal with time
Merely cope as is the norm
To put others’ minds to rest
Never forget
That is a single curse
You bear until your death
You will suffer
Eternity
Still aching till your last
Goodbye my friends
Farewell to your fam
Make everything a joke
And vow to keep
Your feeling checked
On guard from now ‘til then
When is then?
You hear the voice
Still don’t understand
Nor will you yet
Or until you die
That secret stays with me
I never asked
For angry yells
And sulken apology
But stop this now
The pain in me
I tire yet again
