The steps that I take
Hastily trying to reach somewhere
Amidst all the confusion, the havoc
The deafening silence that
magnifies the heart sound
Should I really be doing what I am about to? I ask.
Just want to convince myself
Under no other circumstances I might have
Surrendered to doing this kind of thing
That I have willingly agreed to.
When was the last time,
I reminisce, was that I had held you?
Had you by my side to guide me along the way
All that ache, the tears, all for nothing
Tonight, I am about to end it all.
I promise myself, the end of all miseries.
Waiting for the sun to rise,
A new beginning
No more darkness around me,
no gloom, nothing at all
That's when I tell myself,
that's perhaps the right thing to do.
The only step
that would free me of the parts of you
that I carry within
Opening my arms and taking a deep breath, I do it.
Keeping my eyes closed, no fear,
no second thoughts
Nothing would stop me now
Other than the sound of my heart beating,
I hear nothing
When I finally open my eyes,
even that sound is gone,
making me forever yours.
The Second Version
The steps that I take
Hastily trying to reach somewhere
Amidst all the confusion, the havoc
The deafening silence,
that magnifies the heart sound
Should I really be doing what I am about to? I ask.
Just want to convince myself
Under no other circumstances I might have
Surrendered to doing this kind of thing
That I have willingly agreed to.
When was the last time, I reminisce,
that I had held you?
Had you by my side to guide me along the way
All that ache, the tears, all for nothing
Tonight, I am about to end it all.
I promise myself, a new tomorrow.
Waiting for the sun to rise,
A new beginning
No more darkness around me, no gloom,
nothing at all
That's when I tell myself,
that's perhaps the right thing to do.
The only step
that would free me of the parts of you
that I carry within
Over the bridge I walk,
about to cross to the other side.
Knowing in my heart that
I would see what I came for
Nothing matters to me,
more than seeing you for one last time
Opening my arms,
I stand looking at the dark gloomy sky, and -
When the sun rises,
I close my eyes, see you and I say goodbye
