Courage

They say silence is golden
To me it feels like rust
They say time heals all
Heck, who do I even trust
How much longer will it take?
Sand in the hourglass has turned to dust
Unwilling to collect or settle
This aimless waiting is too unjust.

The pain seems to have set within
Even it refuses to move I guess
Its become a part of me,
Fills the emptiness, more or less.
Can't fathom the sad songs in your playlist
Maybe they were just their time's best
See I pretend to be indifferent
But the mirror reflects a lovely mess..

..with glimpses of an emotional fool
The one who put us through this
I know it wasn't all me
Yet taking the blame feels closer to bliss
Bliss..to free you of the burden
The burden to answer this:
Did you too feel something amazing..
with every touch, every kiss?

But that's entirely your business
Your feelings are none of my concern
I distract myself with me
and let the unturned leaves burn.
The glowing fire is liberating
Reminds me of what I have learned.
If you have something to say,
Say it with courage; it's your turn.
