Best Friends

  Calling every night,

  Babbling about the day,

  It's never been so right,

  This is what my heart says,

  Done everything together,

  Can also do a sleep over,

  Watching movies lying on bed,

  Nothing can ever be so great,

  Laughing on whatever,

  Sleeping forever,

  Eating whenever,

  You are together,

  Having the same comb,

  Like in a sibling’s home,

  But it's not a blood relationship,

  Just based on friendship,

  Yeah just like,

  Best friends,

  Can have a meal together,

  Best friends,

  Can tease you everywhere,

  Best friends,

  Can do whatever

  You say,

  Yeah best friends,

  Will be by your side forever,

  Sees beneath your souls,

  Yet seems hard to ignore,

  To find out your goals,

  Without friends anymore,

  Had a little fight whenever,

  Had a misunderstanding,

  But nothing can separate you forever,

  Nothing can break your bonding,

  Laughing on whatever,

  Sleeping forever,

  Eating whenever,

  You are together,

  Having the same comb,

  Like in a sibling’s home,

  But it's not a blood relationship,

  Just based on friendship,

  Yeah just like,

  Best friends,

  Can have a meal together,

  Best friends,

  Can tease you everywhere,

  Best friends,

  Can do whatever

  You say,

  Yeah best friends,

  Will be by your side forever,

  Life,

  Without them,

  Is like a song,

  Without rhythm,

  No matter what is your age?

  They can still be in your cage,

  Having the same comb,

  Like in a sibling’s home,

  But it's not a blood relationship,

  Just based on friendship,

  Yeah just like,

  Best friends,

  Can have a meal together,

  Best friends,

  Can tease you everywhere,

  Best friends,

  Can do whatever

  You say,

  Yeah best friends,

  Will be by your side forever.

  Born That Day

  Had the bed tea,

  Breakfast as big as sea,

  When I was ill,

  She gave me a bed meal,

  No need to set the alarm,

  Wakes me up by shaking my arm,

  Having wrinkles on her skin now,

  Yet looks younger somehow,

  When I was a baby once,

  She was my first glance,

  Yeah I was born that day,

  Day, day, day.

  Yeah I just cannot repay,

  Yeah repay, repay, repay,

  I have to say,

  She believes I made her day,

  When I was born that day,

  Being a hard worker she is,

  Made my life at ease,

  First ever teacher she was,

  My success was her applause,

  Sacrifices meal for me,

  Combed my hair having others to see,

  Packing lunch for school,

  Scolding, when I was a fool,

  I was a baby once,

  She was my first glance,

  Yeah I was born that day,

  Day, day, day.

  Yeah I just cannot repay,

  Yeah repay, repay, repay,

  I have to say,

  She believes I made her day,

  When I was born that day,

  Today, no one asks if I had my lunch,

  Illness no one noticed by much,

  Reminded me of those childhood days,

  When her lap used to be more than safe,

  Luckily, I was a baby once,

  I am glad she was my first glance,

  Yeah I was born that day,

  Day, day, day.

  Yeah I just cannot repay,

  Yeah repay, repay, repay,

  I have to say,

  She believes I made her day,

  When I was born that day.

  Broken Angel

  Up above the clouds,

  Screamed being so loud,

  Her wings hurt the base,

  The light she couldn’t chase,

  The night boat sailed,

  Along with the nightingale,

  Her wings fluttered,

  So restless thereafter,

  Slowed her moving pace,

  Down the only space,

  Trembling were her hands,

  Slowly wiped the land,

  Closing her eyes,

  Dreaming of the skies,

  The mountain of light,

  So cool so glacial,

  She had to fight,

  With heart of a warrior,

  Instead of a cool exterior,

  She was a broken angel,

  A broken angel,

  With heart of a warrior,

  The fluttering of wings,

  Hurt even in dreams,

  Remembered the flight,

  So desperate for light,

  Her eyes opened wide,

  Sky was dark but so delight,

  She let out a sigh,

  Her wings were so dry,

  Slowed her beating heart,

  The effect caught her off guard,

  Trembling was at ease,

  Light she was ready to seize,

  Closing her eyes,

  Dreaming of the skies,

  The mountain of light,

  So cool so glacial,

  She had to fight,

  With heart of a warrior,

  Instead of a cool exterior,

  She was a broken angel,

  A broken angel,

  With heart of a warrior,

  The rest was her vigor,

  Which she did for hours,

  Now that she was awake,

  For her duty’s sake,

  Her wings fluttered,

  The moment she mastered,

  The way towards the light,

  She started a fight,

  She opened her eyes,

  Saw her dreamy skies,

  The mountain of light,

  So cool so glacial,

  She had to fight,

  With heart of a warrior,

  Instead of a cool exterior,

  She was a broken angel,

  A broken angel,

  With heart of a warrior.

  Butterfly

  I am a butterfly,

  My drive is a flight,

  The wind crossing by,

  It is my delight,

  Met few more like me,

  But oh I wish they could see,

  I am beautiful,

  For them I am peaceful,

  But my heart is wounded,

  The mind is clouded,

  I put the walls up,

  No one could climb up,

  I have everything,

  I have the greetings,

  I have the leaves,

  I have the trees,

  I have the possession,

  I have the lesson,

  Of the power,

  Oh just waiting for the shower,

  Waiting for the shower,

  Of love,

  I wanted this so bad,

  Thought I will be glad,

  But oh I am still waiting,

  Soul is still crying,

  Couldn't find it,

  Oh I wished for it,

  I don't know what it is,

  I cannot define it,
r />   The heart is in a war,

  Just the feelings are afar,

  I put the walls up,

  No one could climb up,

  I have everything,

  I have the greetings,

  I have the leaves,

  I have the trees,

  I have the possession,

  I have the lesson,

  Of the power,

  Oh just waiting for the shower,

  Waiting for the shower,

  Of love,

  Words are not smooth,

  Talk is not much,

  I lost myself,

  For the flight of pretty self,

  The heart yet carves,

  But the love is afar,

  I put the walls up,

  No one could climb up,

  Oh, I have everything,

  I have the greetings,

  I have the leaves,

  I have the trees,

  I have the possession,

  I have the lesson,

  Of the power,

  Oh just waiting for the shower,

  Waiting for the shower,

  Of love.

  By My Side

  Sitting under the tree,

  The face I couldn’t see,

  Was only on my mind,

  Wanting just more time,

  My hands being my pillow,

  Heard a whisper so low,

  Jerking up I scrolled my eyes,

  Only to see few flies,

  I shook my head smiling,

  Still you are driving,

  Me crazy,

  Warmness erupting,

  Again driving,

  Me crazy,

  You drive me crazy,

  My mind is so hazy,

  Still I want you beside,

  Just by my side,

  With me,

  I can make you feel,

  We can make a deal,

  Come to my side,

  Just by my side,

  With me,

  Used to have many,

  Those were my cronies,

  But never felt this way,

  You are the heart in my tray,

  My breathing shackled,

  As fingers tangled,

  Felt a low breeze,

  My thoughts making me freeze.

  I shook my head smiling,

  I shook my head smiling,

  Still you are driving,

  Me crazy,

  Warmness erupting,

  Again driving,

  Me crazy,

  You drive me crazy,

  My mind is so hazy,

  Still I want you beside,

  Just by my side,

  With me,

  I can make you feel,

  We can make a deal,

  Come to my side,

  Just by my side,

  With me,

  I was never brave,

  I never said,

  Just tried to fight this,

  Now I can’t do this,

  Heart is still smiling,

  ‘Cause you are driving,

  Me crazy,

  Warmness erupting,

  Again driving,

  Me crazy,

  You drive me crazy,

  My mind is so hazy,

  Still I want you beside,

  Just by my side,

  With me,

  I can make you feel,

  We can make a deal,

  Come to my side,

  Just by my side,

  With me.

  C

  Cheap.

  Come back.

  Come to me.

  Back to top

  Cheap

  Smiled like she never had,

  Laughed like nothing's bad,

  Just a happy moment once,

  Just a mere last chance,

  Oh but it’s gone now,

  Even friends changed into hoe,

  The smile never happened,

  The laugh never driven,

  Oh it was late,

  When she realized,

  Just little too late,

  She wished she could hide,

  Oh being everything so fake,

  Just a little love intake,

  Never wanted the dove,

  Never had the vow,

  The world,

  Is oh so cheap,

  The curse,

  Is oh so deep,

  The bird,

  Just wanted to sleep,

  The worse,

  The bird had the treat,

  Oh the world is so
