"Paris" 

By: Khatoon Hazara 

 

 

 

 

Paris comes and Paris goes, 

I'll give it all away, just so you know 

Shells upon broken shells 

Homes upon empty doors 

 

 

 

The heart that beats and beats again 

All I wanted was just a friend 

People rely on broken hearts 

And beggars are just kept in the dark 

 

 

 

The rain that washes all my pain 

Then stands out in front of a train 

Blood upon metallic shift 

That's how it goes a lovers' continental drift 

 

 

 

 

Paris comes and Paris goes 

Don't kill her because she knows 

Shells upon empty shells  

Homes upon empty doors
