Broken yet standing


BROKEN YET STANDING! With your words sweeter than Berri you bury Me in the glum, How could I stop that tender voice that rhythmed that sound in the vains Of my heart?? I can't help let the Rose flower wrinkles You happily said. You broke the edge of my heart with the spear of affection to make your way When you hold my hands Under the light of the day. come let's play in the snow tonight, Let's count the colours of the rainbow, Come let's count the stars until the cock Crows. When the days were young You said we would grow like the stone and die Laughing. Now I'm tearing away I'm dying before the sunset with no tears to cry, May be I brow from the ocean! To cry my last cry of love Cheerfully you promised me the stars, But now behind the black Vail even the moon I always smile at since childhood Traveled beyond the stars. Come pick the pieces you broke storms has arises you promised to be there always But now you're far beyond the sky. I'm drowning in the blue, you could hear the wailing of my heart yet you turn your back and face your front, I wouldn't love again ©Yakubu Daniel
