Goliath
I guess I am tired living in this little fantasy of mine
When I still thought I got your heart
I am the one who crushed it in the first place
But the little pieces of truth came after midnight
They came whispering into my ear; gentle but clear
I covered my eyes, then watched them turn into giants
We are David and Goliath
I walked in with my sticks and stones, but you brought your sharpest spear
The worst enemies are those you love most;
They remind me that you are gone even in my sweetest dreams
Stomped me and never turned back
But if you ever do think of me
You will see me standing there, beaten but not defeated.
War
Let’s end this war- you said
You are tired struggling in this back and forth battle of ours
Lies are the nuclear weapon and I watched it burst
I guess I looked at you long enough to know
The veins in your eyes are straining you
I would never know how many times you cried behind my back
And I stand there with my white flag all this time
Made you think that even our love was a lie
Is this love or are we doomed to sink each other’s boats
And then I finally realized- you don’t need a warrior
You just need a King.
Pills
The hardest truth are the ones we hide from ourselves
When we don’t even know they exist
Truth is harder to take in than lies
It’s like a pill you cannot swallow
And even if you do, they thrust in your throat
Begging for attention, craving to be seen
And then you have to go through all those sleepless nights with the rock in your heart
Wondering why you are never good enough
But the truth is-
How can you face others when you can’t even face yourself?
