WHEN YOU ARE GONE

When you are gone,I will not mourn.
I will not ask why,I will not cry.

I will sleep at night,wake at sunlight
Tell unfailingly black from white.

I shall thank the Lord, for my daily bread
Snarl when hungry, smile well fed.

I shall not want, I shall not yearn
Whatever life teaches, I shall learn.

There will be no problem with my gait
My steps would sync,will walk straight.

I will work hard to earn my living
To the needy and poor, I shall be giving.

Weekdays I will work, weekends I rekax
Will pay all my bills and Govt. tax.

But I will not mourn
For corpses have no life of their own.

And I shall I not cry.
Coz there are no tears, once you die.

For you see
I shall not die....
I shall be dead.

HER EYES DON'T SMILE ANYMORE

She throws back her head and laughs at the jokes
She smiles sweetly at all the people she knows
Her greeting is the loudest when she meets all the blokes
She parties hard as she drinks and smokes

But her eyes don't smile anymore....

The man she loved just dumped her last week
She stifled a scream, no words did she speak
Oh,she cried some tears and her smile turned bleak
Then bounced back to life as if it was an incident freak

But her eyes don't smile anymore.....

That's what happens when relations break
A part of us, with them, they take
The jingle from the laugh , or the charm of the face
She could somehow, through the ordeal make.

But her eyes don't smile anymore......

He said she will always be special, you know
But the words to her, sounded hollow
These lines are often said to soften the blow
She didn't argue, just went with the flow

But her eyes don't smile anymore.....

They had not spent lot of time together
There was no ring, nor any courts paper
The moments they spent had seemed like forever
When he left, her own pieces she did gather.

But her eyes don't smile anymore.......

He will always, have a place in her heart
Even after he left her, he will still be her part
The scar on her heart will never depart
Though she is trying to make a fresh start

But her eyes don't smile anymore......
