You Need To Know: ( Poem by Manauwer Raza

the more i go through around my head
the more i am sure to think...
my entire life is a lie, a hopeless life lived
things that i did, i see it all in the blink...

and realized a little bit later
you do much better than me...
after all the lies that i made you believe
guilt kicks in and i start to see...

the edge of the long unending nights
where your memories, your sweet words used to be...
continually telling you sweetness, i was there for you
but afraid, i lied, and hid all locks without the key...

what it felt like beside you, when you were there
living in the falsehood, saying, i want to live this moment...
the way your innocence tastes filled, think you should know this
that it was all but a lie, a hoax, a forged event...

while looking through my old piles of notes
i found those pictures i took, that we shared together...
if there's one memory i don't want to ever lose
was resting all my troubles, within your gentle feather...

never expected, never asked, never wanted, to feel
your touch, your hug, your kisses, in my soul...
just cause i loved you unconditionally, without a desire
and not your body, and i claim no foul...

but what i see, i wasn't perfect enough to blend
in the false of everything that would ever show...
that love is, loving alone, and then let go
i wish, this is all, that you need to know...
