Catacombs
Lovely, lovely, lovely it used to be, sound of life with joy here and happiness there,
living the life that we had and loving it, being frivolous and cheery,
dancing in the rain with joyous feet
never remembering how much we’ve grown with every passing July
unaware, since when I started dragging my feet

getting covered up in my shroud of rain, hiding my pain, my tears, my sorrow,
I keep on dragging my monotonous life remembering my honeycomb days,
plastering a smile on my face to hide my sorrowful life ,
I’ve finally realized how much I’ve grown with every passing July.
