Burden For Tomorrow. by Schoolguy9(m): 3:19pm On Feb 01, 2022
Tell me it's not true.
Tell me it was all
A hoax and I will believe you!

Tell me we never went that far.
Tell me it was a gossip and I would believe you
But just tell me it actually happened and I did be mad at you.

Besides, we never planned it this way.
We hoped it ended but it escalated.
Look deep into my eyes
And tell me it's not true and I would believe you
But tell me it did happen and I will faint into your arms.

Remove the truth
Tell me what I want to hear
That was how crime started
But I still believe you are joking
Because we just created a burden for tomorrow while hoping for a change.

You told me it was gonna be alright
But I saw it not.
Now, I recoil into my chair
As I wait for the worst.

Damp places are better than a hot weather in this scenario but I am not a snake so I choose the later.

Look into my eyes and tell me it never happened.
I did give you one cent for that
Because it makes me feel better
Though it is a lie.

Open your arms and welcome me as we wait together
Having created a burden instead of a better
Tomorrow.

Inspite of this, I love you.


So, we move!
