Forbidden
We try to forget the past
But it lasts, sometimes reopens the scars
Stealing every single breathe from us
It leaves the pain, takes the happiness
Leaving us in a maze of distrust
It's just a matter of time
Before the hearts collapse
But neither of us plan to lay victim
Nor plan to win the war
Maybe that's 'coz we are terrified of what we want
Maybe that's 'coz we are living in a sin
Maybe that's 'coz you plan to give up
And I plan to fight till my last breathe
You give in to the threats around us
While I refuse to be pulled into the quicksand
You leave me amidst a storm of hate
Where there's nobody to show me the way
To hold my hand and whisper in my ears
That, "courage has to outweigh fear"
I feel the judgements closing in
I spiral into a web of self-hatred
But even though you know
You never come back to help
Losing my sense in the blackhole of rage
I became inhumane
I lost myself that day,
In the altar of self-harm and hatred
Thus the heart that was so full of love
Got dealt a bad hand
The past still scares me now
Especially when you come back
