Is It Alright

In day's doom,
when times maroon;

In night's gloom,
when darkness looms;

I need you to hold me tight
and whisper "it's alright"



Mirror lies and shadow equivocates,
they tell me i'm alive,
yet,i feel dead

and now my only wish !
to bury in your arms



Yes,once I'd pushed you away,
to hide from this world
somewhere safe,
deep inside my head

Maybe I was not strong enough

But darling,can you believe,
how my instincts deceived !
when,the day i left,
all that time running away
from myself


and days and months and years

for all the calls,
i didn't pick

for all the birthdays 
i didn't wish

for all your ailing days
when i was not around
to hold you in my arms

Please forgive me,
I aplogize


and one day 
if you find me home
unannounced!
please hold me tight
and whisper 
"It's ok.
It's alright"
