“Missing someone, they say, is self-centered. I self-center you more than ever.” 
Saša Stanišić

Down in the realm of destiny
One survives and another dies
Minorities divided by those they chose
Friends to call and hold close
Those lucky enough though did
Choose friends like you
Managed to hold them by
Never did they let go down that path
Those stupids mistakes I once made
Those crazy things I said
For those now I suffer
The emptiness of the friend I chose
The regret that kills me now
Of hurting the friend in you
The pain I deserve
For the pain I bequeath you
It all seems justified
Realizing how much you mean to me...

A PERFECT IMPERFECTION; FOR SOMEONE LIKE YOU

I heard that you're settled down
That you found a guy and you're happy now
I heard that your dreams came true
Guess he gave you things I didn't give to you

Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you
Don't forget me, I beg, I remember you said
I was the one, I was for ever...

Note: This is an edited version of the lyrics for the song 'Someone Like You' by Adele. I dedicate this edited version to a simple girl I used to know. That girl that I still think about everyday. #MySimpleGirl.

I AM SMILING - YOU'RE NOT THE REASON

At last, I’ve got a smile on my broken face
Yes! I’m still keeping pace
There was a time when I used to think
With you gone, alone I’d sink
Left alone, for love I did weep
Then I realized I’m no dweep

Woken up from a false sleep
I’m now taking this leap
What’s gone is gone
What we had – you had it torn
Turn around, go on – I’ve found another reason
I am smiling – You’re not the reason

Since You Got Bored

Lost for words,
Speechless, broken inside,
Smiling, to hide oceans of tears,
Wounds of lost love,
Carved deep, deep inside me,
I've tried to build a wall -
Wall of plastic smiles around me
Tell myself you are gone...

and alas, I have done.

For Your Smile...

So many things to say....
So many I couldn't think of a way...
So many times before May...
So close in your arms I want to lay....
So close but so far today....
So many things to say....
And yet seeing you smile, silent I shall stay...

Media?

The world has come to this
Baloney dominates headlines
Big Cheese's farts become the bee's knees
Every night on TV, its the same bimbo and useless stories
Tales of another dame's botox implants

Meanwhile in Africa, another thousand dies of hunger
Deep down in the debris of Gaza
A widowed mother cries for her martyred baby
The streets of Manzoorabad are stained by the blood
Cries of a little girl who did not deserve to be gang raped
