Loved ones

Sometimes umbrellas aren’t enough for the rain                                          

That’s when you require the comfort of your loved ones

So you turn around hoping to find them

But all you see are walls

Walls staring back at you

Where have they disappeared?

You ask in your cluttered head

Then you realize, they were never there

Whom you thought were your loved ones

Whom you thought you could trust

Turn out they were just shadows

Not filling but covering the holes in your life

Now that they’re gone, isn’t it all gone?

Or, has it just begun, now knowing that it’s all up to you?

These are the questions that start to haunt you

Having so little time and so many missing holes

How will you ever recover from the pretenders?

The hypocrites?

You wont, you can’t

So you best come prepared,

Know just how it will end

Relying on others won’t get you far

Just have a strong heart

When you’ve got that,

Not even a rainstorm will bring you down
