If my heart Could Speak

If only my heart could speak

It would tell you my tales of laughter and sorrow

Etched in the hearts where joy and pain borrow

It would tell you the times of the forgotten dreams and hopes

Where echoes of the past whispers through times elopes

If only my heart could speak

Of the times when sorrows grip is tight

Crying in bed , lost in the endless night

Of the times when tears fall silently at night

As I weep alone, hidden from sight

If only my heart could speak

It would cry out the sorrows hidden beneath silent smiles.

— Sthuthy Narayan v
