Come undone

In our lives full of lies

Some who cheated

Some who were defeated

We’re little killers, we hide

Behind pretty faces

How I love to strip you

Naked, do you mind?

I want to see your insides

Does it pain?

Like heartbreaks do

When you lover died

Did you wonder if you’ll make it through?

And what about your mother

Who stood by the door crying?

When you chose to be

Honest to yourself who was defying

Ever childhood truth unlearnt

You want to know how it felt to be burnt

Before you could even

Begin to feel purged

How could I, you sing

Begin to control the urge?

When it rains

And shadows dance

Old sins, they come revisiting -

You face them in honor

And you don’t budge

You don’t flinch

In your scarce horrors

You try to unmask

The inglorious you

Taking self to task

The baby you gave up

It whines uncontrollably

You know it’s just a bad figment

Of another bad dream

A canned dream

How I wish you would

Allow yourself to scream

And say, never mind

I’m made of mistakes

And that’s how I leant

To know I wasn’t fake

Not cosmetic

Just living a shame

More mistakes?

I’m game

How I wish

You and I

Would strip and bathe

In natural sunshine

And burn the scars

Till they turn to ashes

And know that in time

Even the strong one crashes

Is such a bad idea

To come undone?

Treat yourself some dignity

Accord the hurt some rights?

Stay, linger

Just touch it deeply

Deep inside

Your love, your life

Why don’t you come undone?
