Risk

Hurt, taken for granted
Afraid to open up
Time and time again
Maybe it's time to give up

Clouds and rain
No sunshine, just pain
Is there anyone true
Anyone honest and sane

So glad for a friend
willing to take time
to search and to search
for the answer to the rhyme

Finally, beyond space and time
Finally, al7mdulillah the answer to the rhyme
Finally, your voice rings loud and clear
Finally, your face is the one I hold dear

Your words touch my heart
I believe you ring true
Every chat, every message
They're special, from you

No more hurt, no more pain
No time to give up
Just break down the walls
That's the charge, open up

Take a risk, take the chance
There's only one life
Don't waste this precious gift
See the end of your strife

Wallahi dear girl
He is true to his word
He'll express himself clearly
You're frail, like a bird

He says he'll take care
He says he'll provide
He says he'll love you
Just be by his side

One more thing to be sure
With your heart in his hand
Rise above, have no fear
He shall take a stand

Someone

Can someone protect me from that which will harm me?

Can someone guide me when my vision is blurred?
Can someone shield me from attacks of my mind when lies flood the banks?
Can someone care for me when I am weak and insecure?
Can someone make me soar like an eagle flying free above vast canyons?
Can someone provide shelter and comfort and peace in my heart?
Can someone listen to my cries, my fears, my joys, my victories and make the rest of the world disappear?
Can someone see through the many facets of my life, find all the best qualities and make them shine like a field of diamonds?
Can someone become a knight in shining armor to rescue the fairest princess?
I believe someone can
I believe someone is . . . YOU

In the end

I cried again today

Don’t know if you care

Don’t know if it matters

Remembered the hurt

Remembered the surprise

Your words hit my heart like a knife

I remembered how we laughed

How we joked

We had so much fun

I missed you when you were gone

Away to see family

So far so long

But then you returned

And it was like you’d never gone

I cried again today

Don’t know if you care

Don’t know if it matters

Remembered the hurt

Remembered the surprise

Your words hit my heart like a knife

Friends share their lives

Their good their bad

Friends stay together

And give shelter in storms

Friends love each other

No matter what

Friends don’t give up

But fight til the end

I cried again today

Don’t know if you care

Don’t know if it matters

Remembered the hurt

Remembered the surprise

Your words hit my heart life a knife

Where to go from here

We have to decide

Push on til the end

Or let it ride

Forget all the laughter

Replace it with tears

Move on to a new place

New friends new fears

New chances new tears

One mistake … it’s all over

One wrong move … sucks to be you

One choice … make it a good one

One chance … make it right

I cried again today

Don’t know if you care

Don’t know if it matters

Remembered the hurt

Remembered the surprise

Your words hit my heart like a knife

Are you really my friend

Are you there in the end

Are you guiding or criticizing

Are you helping or manipulating

Are you using abusing confusing

Self-centered egoistic eccentric

Are you really my friend

Are you there in the end

My sweet friend

Kind and gentle

Caring tender

Imperfect and fair

I cried again today

Don’t know if you care

Don’t know if it matters

Remembered the hurt

Remembered the surprise

Your words hit my heart like a knife

Are you there in the end
