Duty Calls

We’re growing up, aren’t we?

Big decisions are showing up, aren’t they?

And while in the middle of it all, the thought of losing you stands tall

I have an ounce of hope

Should I bounce or should I cope?

I’ve been here my love, it’s not new for me 

I see the pattern, heartbreak stands due for me

While I might have realized my heart can take it 

This time even my head really wants to make it.

Life is tough but you make me float

This insecure little girl has started to gloat

I’ve come a long way and so have you

I wouldn’t have known peace if not for us two.

I discard them like old clothes but for you, I stop and think

However rough may it be, come join me for a drink

We knew it was going to get tough right?

But if anyone, it’s us who can take this fight.

So what I mean to say is, it’s okay if it’s dark

We don’t see a path ahead, so let’s embrace each step of the walk

And we won’t even realize how quickly we’ll be there

Our paths may separate, but I’ll forever be here.

And we might make up silly scenarios but we’ll end up just fine

My father has always told me nothing comes before due time

 It might be hard and be the first rock in a long line

 but I promise you love, I will fight to make you mine.

So go do what you gotta do, duty calls 

Do your time living stories, I will wait here for the dates to the mall 

We started with the Dreamhouse and we’ll end up building it

We are more than lovers, our heads and hearts both fit. 

Come Back Home

You miss me, I see it

If it’s wrong, let be it

We’ve lied for too long

Through poems and through songs.

Taylor’s music doesn’t heel anymore

Her touch, you don’t feel anymore

Come back home, my love

It’s time to come back where you belong.

Life has stopped making sense

I’ve hit a dead end

Nothing excites me anymore

For breakdowns, I’ve stopped keeping score.

Your eyes don’t linger, they ache

I know you see the hearts that we break

But lying to yourself isn’t gonna fix it

She’s not the one, I know you’re afraid to risk it.

We’re yet to make mistakes many more

Sure the wounds are still more than sore

These hearts still pump, not joyfully though

We can’t forever keep denying the cure.

We are meant to be together, I know you see it

Calling me dumb isn’t the solution, come out and be it

Life is scary and we don’t get a lot of it right

Give me another reason love, start a fight.

You slip when you’re drunk

Your walls seem to have shrunk

Making sorry eyes, that desperate lip smack

Go home and cold again, she mustn’t see that.

Holding her by the waist, does she smell like me?

We cannot keep haunting like this till eternity

Come back home my love, sit at this table of two

All else is just static noise, forever is me and you.

You were a soldier but the war is over now

The general did you dirty and walked home bestowed

Your body aches my touch, don’t deny it that

Let me soothe your broken skin, take off that duty hat.

You lean on my legs intentionally, of course, I see it

If it was six months ago, I would’ve got fits

But I know how your heart calls out my name

Come back to me my lost pariah, let’s stop playing games.

Don’t blame yourself for things you can still make right

Stop waiting months to feed that hunger of my sight

Might have erased the physical memories, its time to use the final weapon

Stop killing yourself everyday love, you can still make it happen.
