Hamd Ejaz - Love

LOVE MEANT NOTHING FOR ME
ALWAYS TAKING BUT GIVING NOTHING TO ME
BUT YET IT GAVE!
PAIN, SORROWS AND NOTHING ELSE TO ME

THROUGH SCORCHING DESERTS I TRAVELLED
THROUGH TORMENTED SOULS I INQUIRED
WHAT IS LOVE?
THE REIGN OF PAIN UPON THE WRECKED, THEY SMILED

I QUESTIONED THEIR EXPERIENCE
BUT I SOON HAD THAT APPEARANCE
AH! WHAT AN EXPRESSION!
JUST LIKE A VICTIM OF TOTAL OPPRESSION

WHEN MY PROPOSAL OF LOVE SHE REJECTED
HER PLACE IN MY HEART, SHE CEMENTED
IT WAS THE THING I DREADED
DREADED OF THE DREAMS SHE FOUNDED

ALAS! I CANNOT RELIEVE MYSELF OF THOSE DREAMS
TRY IF I SHOULD I CANNOT ESCAPE FROM THOSE REALMS
REALMS OF PAIN AND SUFFERING!
TRAPPED INSIDE AND SUFFOCATING! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
