That's Life?

Sitting alone on the terrace here
the stars above my head
I grab a bottle of beer
still a single tear not shed

There's a dearth of friends
they say I'm weird 
No one to grab my hand when i'm tense
I just sit alone scratching my beard

Not a single girl to be with me 
have I ever found
for whom I'd go on my knee
strange does it sound?

I used to look for a job 
they rejected me every time
referring to me as a snob
From when has being quiet been a crime?

They say I joke, I play 
I'm fun to be around
I know how to make my way 
Then why do they everytime throw me on the ground?

They say Life's a Bitch 
I don't really agree
why to blame life coz of your own glitch? 
Life's binding me but, I wanna be free!

Mom told me not to lose hope 
good things come to those who wait 
all this is difficult to cope 
wait? for a perfect mate?

I wished to have a happy life 
a perfect job, a big house
2 naughty kids and a wonderful wife
I got nothing, neither the kids nor the spouse

But hey, I'm still not alone
not till the time she's near
The one and the only one
The love of my life: My dearest beer!

Am I over Him?

At night, I lie down on the bed
staring at the ceiling above my head
Endless memories of the past
don’t go away that fast
In the room so dark with a blanket on
I stare at the walls, sometimes at my phone
Him, a flawed miracle, too lovely to look at
Hard to hold, harder to let go
I gave him all my heart, soul, time and thoughts
In turn I only asked for his ragged heart
It’s unbearable how the mind keeps going back to the past
I wanted to leave you better than how I found you
Unfortunately, you were at your worst
The darkness of the night is what I like the most
It keeps me guarded and secluded from the rest
I’m like the sea wave that keeps running back to the shore
To kiss the sand, again and again, asking for some more
You left like a bird leaving its home forever
To never come back, or leave back a single feather
In this dark lonely night i crave for togetherness
I’m a lover without love, yet I’m not loveless!
I wonder if I’m over him yet?
Then comes the answer, “not until my last breath!”
