LOVE OR LIE?

Walking down the shore

leaving my footprints on the sand

memories covered my mind

I felt someone's holding my hand.

  

But there's nothing left now,

not the emotions, not the love.

All has faded with time but somehow

I blame the person sitting above.

 

Staring up at the painted sky

I stood there for a long time.

I shouted as the breeze passed by

Why only me? What was my crime?

 

I got no reply.

I knew I would not.

I moved on with a deep sigh

but in guilt I was caught.

 

Is it him, or is it me?

Who is to be blamed?

It can't be me, so it is he

who has made me lame.

 

Yes it's you I know.

God you who has made my life a sin.

I thought you a friend but are a foe

you've made me stolid, I can never grin.

 

I looked ahead & started to run

away from those memories

away from those promises which weren't done

I was burning, my soul wasn't at peace.

 

I stopped suddenly & turned back

hoping to see someone standing there

but there was no one on my track

maybe it was all a nightmare.

 

I sat down & looked above

so many questions in my mind.

"God tell me was it really love,

or a hazy lie which made me blind."
