Oh Life! I will Pen a Tell of You

Showing Mirror to Life Through Tale

Oh Life! I'll pen a tale of you,

Of all your whispers, old and new,

The questions you tossed my way each day,

I’ll write the answers, come what may.

I'll script the shifts in lovers' tone,

The shattered dreams I call my own.

Through all the wounds I’ve yet to show,

I’ll write the pains that no one knows.

I’ll spill the secrets, heart’s desire,

The truths I held, yet never shared,

The silent cries, the burning fire,

All that I wanted, but couldn’t dare.

In love’s long journey, I’ve lost my way,

I’ll write my failures, come what may.

The scars you gave, both night and morn,

I’ll ink them deep, where hope is born.

The masks they wear, the lies they weave,

In this world that spins, I’ll not deceive.

Oh Life! I’ll write the book of you,

Every wound, every moment, raw and true.

In rhythmic flow, my soul laid bare,

I’ll write it all, for all to share.

The truth, the heartache, the dreams I’ve missed—

All in the pages of this endless twist.
