ArabianOud {R}

Silent waves

Words: Arabian Oud {R}

Year 2007

As she walked out of the room,
That brightness of my heart dimmed,
As he walked away into unknown,
Questions kept looming in my mind,
Fears of losing & letting go pumped,
I couldn't express this pain anymore,
But I had no escape then falling in,
Temptations you knock my heart,
Why are you forcing me to betray?
The pen's ink has dried long ago,
I can no longer write so purely,
It's all happening with me at once,
This pain is overtaking my existence,
It's been a while since I last cried,
And the last time I ever smiled,
That reflection in the mirror of me,
Is full of stains and so improper.
I used to have your hand next to mine,
But soon that faded away into unknown,
Silent waves,
It's all so complicated to explain now,
I am falling deeper minute by minute,
Screaming out but in no vain,
Hurt, so misunderstood and isolated,
It's all been a bumpy ride for sometime,
Full of scars and bitter memories,
I miss your presence, as you leave,
Wish I could hold you back forever.

MISUNDERSTOOD- by Arabian Oud {R}

MISUND ERSTOOD At first they you pretend you care, But in reality you were ignorant, You offered help by lipservice, Nothing practical at all, Everytime I was depressed, You thought it was plain drama, Kept saying 'grow up girl', Changes were noticed slowly, The one day you went away, Here I was seeking love and support, Even my friends abandoned me, Everytime they met,it was about them, I pondered on what I had achieved, But there was no answer at all, They don't understand my problems, They never asked, expecting my life go-lucky, Here I am, Sitting on the bed, surrounded by dark walls, Tears keep flowing down nonstop, Wished there was someone by my side, Wiping them away, hearing my pain out, They call me names and think I am bad, They simply don't know my story, Love they say, is a medicine, But I seest that not, it only gives pain, They all called me immature and left, My heart was broken, the music stopped playing, Violins of my heart cried out so bad, Wished, the...

The heart an empty vessel by Arabian Oud {R}

The heart an empty vessel The heart is now an empty vessel, A single sound of screech laments, My soul is in an endless sorrow, My inspiration and my glimmer of hope, All washed away by the sea shore, All my hopes dashed into tiny pieces, There is darkness within the heart, Memories reside within of him, He was my inspiration and soul mate, But its always the same story, False promises, abandonment and loneliness, He said 'he was different', I believed him, Less did I know, That my fate was cursed till Doomsday, No mantra can undo my blackened luck, Love, you play games with me, Disguised in different faces, You cheat me, I wound I surrender to my defeat and darkness My heart is an empty vessel, A cursed organ..
