Karma

Read me
Like an open book
But you won't understand
A single word
My language's foreign

Suffocate me
With your silence
It's all right
I won't hurt
My body's numb and broken

Crush me
Like fine sand
I've been dead
For the longest time
My soul's been trodden

Condemn me
To hell's fire
Let flames engulf
this once solid union
A crumbling foundation

Torture me
With your ignorance
And foolishness
Before you realise
It's a mirror reflection

Smiling faces in masquerades
All behind the same façade
Nothing garish, nothing plain
Oscar actors all at large

Civil words, they carefully weave
Smooth and flawless, none too crude
Poison laced, bitter traced
None of them are just too good

The mask they wear may hide their face
But it conceals not their eyes
The vile bitter state in them
Fools me not with all those lies

Love Me Like Before

Love me, hold me
Take me back into your arms
Kiss me, want me
Need me like you did once

Is there no way to return?
Are we lost forever more?
And my heart just breaks to know
You cannot love me like before

Touch me, tell me
Everything will be fine
Keep me, save me
Walk with me across the line

I'm not asking for much - just your touch
To mend this heart, its sore
And I ache so bad to know
You cannot love me like before

You can never,
You will never,
You will never love me like before
