Castles I tried to do everything you said All your demands I had met Kept everything perfect for you But now nothing seems true Maybe my friends were right Maybe it had to end in a fight It only kept getting harder It only drew us further apart It only kept bruising my heart Our voices kept getting louder You said it would work out I believed you without doubt We used to whisper once Now all we do is shout Our castle of lies comes tumbling down You let it fall without a frown I try to build it back Half way through I lose track Castles are never meant to fall But it was built on lies after all

The Power Of A Smile When the days grow dark And the sun doth shine Don't give up on hope Relight your inner shrine You'll make it through You'll walk each mile With nothing but Your sparkling smile

We All Have Perished The walls come tumbling down and take with them all the history every written on them. All the untold tales that they witnessed and withstood wiped away as they fall. The world sets into motion a vicious scheme. Everyone dies in the end. Rain drops knock on the windows but there's no one to answer them. No more tears to help someone hide. No more barren wastelands to give #life to. The sky scoffs as the clouds try to take it over and when they finally do it just stands helpless. So majestic so mighty yet still so helpless. Everyone runs around trying to make sense of what is happening. But they turn to no one. No one because they never were anybody's in the first place. Indifference took the better of them and when they're purpose of #life was defeated the universe decided to finish them. To lay off the burden it had to bear for so long. And now the people yearn for a messiah, a deliverer. They search here and there, high and low but find no one. They wasted they're time searching for someone and never realised all they had to do was look inside themselves. The sun shined for one last time, the clouds cried for one last time, the flowers blossomed for one last time, the baby laughed, wind blew, thunder crackled, lightning flashed, the river drowned into the sea and the people were given one last moment to absorb everything around them for one last time. And everything fell into oblivion. All was lost. Just because of the selfish nature of humanity. And the earth they once knew, the people they once knew, the person they once thought was themselves, all evaporated into their sins. The universe was pure again.

Come Back I tried so hard to keep it inside I tried so hard so that it won't affect me But now that I try to forgot all my tries I find it harder to forgot what you gave me The beast inside me settled is now free And tearing my insides apart constantly I tried so hard for you to see But all I hear now are echoes and mimicry Till I cry till I bleed for the world to bear witness The humanity you expunged replaced with horridness And all the love I ever felt drifted away Till all I had left were mere murmurs to say And all my tears and bones were left to flay Till was left but mere fractions of mud and clay You don't realise the damage you've done Because you never stopped to think You never wanted to put on my shoes You never understood any of my clues And now I have to take my own shoes off Walk barefoot with painful blisters does this king Who once wore jewels around his carefree feet You didn't even try once to give me what I want Instead you lived #life the way you'd always want With an air of royalty you would act you would flaunt You never heard from me a single complaint not one taunt And now you unconsciously stand above me and daunt Chain me without chains inside myself you have Your presence to me now will always haunt I can never be the same around you anymore But how will you know you don't care for me at all You've changed a very subtle way yet The magnitude only I can truly abet The change is greater than I can comprehend Over this sorrow is only my right to fret And even though I am not wrong in any way This problem may be only mine to amend I'll still give one last try my dearest friend Will try to explain so that you may apprehend Fix what you have unfixed and you have me back If you can't manage the tear will form a crack Something both of us will never be able to rejoin Forever this guilt with you shall remain twined Copyright Waleed Yazdani 10 November 2012

Warmth Of The Soul The clouds swirl in and cover the stars A blanket draws over the little girls arms She's shudders as the night grows darker Cold gusts of wind still manage to caress her The only warmth she finds isn't the blanket's Nor the heat her body so frantically emanates It's the warmth of her soul that comforts her deep It's the memory she deep inside so fondly keeps
