Here I Am
Lying in a dark damp corner of the world
Trying to find warmth in this place cold
With not even the strength to lift my head
To the passing people, I look dead
I wasn't always like this, I was a bird free
Flying swiftly, from tree to tree
I had a life, happiness, and I had you
My friend, my companion, my love true
We built a nest with our dreams, and we promised to be
There for each other, till eternity
We promised to hold on, come rain or shine
Everything would be ours, never yours or mine
In this world of ours, I felt safe as a child
In his mother's bosom, free and wild
But you felt like a caged bird instead
And love for you became just another word
You rared for your freedom, to fly the skies solo
Everything I said, to you sounded hollow
You wanted me out of your life, our relation to cease
And you said it without a tear, with so much ease
I cried and begged, falling at your feet
But you kicked me away and left me lying in the street
With only my broken world all around me
To pick the pieces of my life, and what was left of me
So here I am bidding you happiness
Wishing you favourable winds and success
In all your efforts and may your dreams come true
And may you forget that I was in love with you
