You Made Me


How do I tell you, that what you are to me?
You are the source, the reason to be me.
That sometime I feel, it's good you are not here with me,
How else would I have dedicated all these words to thee?

I would have been lost unnoticed in this vast life sea,
If not for you, the world would have not seen my tears in glee,
How else could my songs have made this divine plea?
If not for you, I would not have been me.

If you would have not given me shadow under your life's tree,
My pain would have evaporated under the sun's hot spree,
In your shadow, the pain have turned into pearls of poetry, 
That sometime I feel, it's good you left for the betterment of me.

I can't complaint for the emotions, you unlocked with your love's key,
The feelings now free from chains, pour themselves on paper carefree,
If the world say you left me clueless, I would strongly disagree,
If not for your parting, I wouldn't have discovered me.

How do I tell you, that what you are to me?
You are the source, the reason to be me.
That sometime I feel, it's good you are not here with me,
How else would I have dedicated all these words to thee?
