“between the lines”

Forgotten stories last longer

Saved from the mistake of being retold.

Lost love stays precious

Protected from the trauma of getting old.

Veiled pain never dies

Killing slowly the heart it resides in.

Unheard pleads disguise as anger

Breaking everyone, it encounters.

Repetitive failure fogs the mind,

Wrecking steadily the zeal inside.

Lost self-worth closes all doors

Growing bigger while making you small.

Yet, Unfulfilled dreams keep growing

Just so I stay alive!
