I can't compare
I hold my heart behind locked doors,
Worn and bruised from love before.
Each scar it bears, a whispered name,
Each beat a flicker wrapped in flame.
I’ve stitched this heart too many times,
With trembling hands and fraying lines,
Each patch a whisper from the past,
Each crack a vow that didn’t last.
I’ve stood in storms with open chest,
Hoping love would...

No Longer UsSingle
but it’s getting old.
I’m tired of trying to heal
when all I want is to love you.
Who cares what went wrong
or what went right?
What mattered was how I felt that night.
It’s scary getting lost in my thoughts
all I see is you with him,
when just last month,
you were mine.
It’s eating me from the inside.
The thought of him...

Lost interestthe songs i dont play anymore
the love i once had for you
it just melted to the floor ..
useless, absurd, what was the point?
A wasted heart given
to the wrong one
it was like a pain felt in my joint
will i ever love again?
I dont know
i guess thats just how
how this world flow.

Stone WallsIt is a dawn, my love did call
as misty rain on fields did fall
l wept for thee, they didn't see
it wasn't meant to be
it is a night, the light burnt bright
but shadows , on walls , did write
l sang my love, across hills above
to echo's, of my, true love
It is the morn, l...

Beautiful EyesBeautiful eyes
Tell vicious lies
In the middle of a storm
I’m not surprised
I haven’t cried
Searching for your warmth
I love you
But who knew
You didn’t feel the same
Did you love me too
Or was I just new?
Your favorite little game
A brand new toy
For you to enjoy
My light died within me
I fell for a boy
It was me he destroyed
Forever lost in...

Misty clouded heartMisty clouds fill my eyes,
After you stabbed my heart,
With a blade forged in hate.
Pain oozes out like blood,
But neither red nor caked –
Yet it outlives all thought.

How Is It Possible?I want to see him as someone who did me wrong... in order to let him go. I want to no longer love him at all and just see his true colours as brightly as they show. Put up a wall, draw a line in the sand. Let go of his hand. And see him...

The Efflorescence of a Half Moon LoveThe Efflorescence of a Half-Moon Love
An immutable desire to awaken and experience the night’s breath…
Where saddened petals elate at the ability to whisper open at the cusp of dawn.
I reach to orbit near you:
where carnal might kiss deity,
and the air between us smells of divine pollen.
A heavenly flower exhaling eternity
from the soft rupture of its...

Hurts So GoodShe is deliciously unhappy.
Listening to heartbreak songs in minor keys, the melodies seem to flick her heart…flick,flick…Like the 4th grade bully who sneaks up behind everyone to flick an ear, thinking causing jolts of pain is the funniest thing since The Three Stooges.
Yea, that's...

Heart PalpitationsSo sick of this world and generation

Lesson Relearned
A love match perfect until the truth won out she was a natural imp and a gifted daughter of nature
he was a darkling with mortal appearance to try and gain what wasn't his he tried to cast her into the flame
she forgave time and again until the rope tightened around her throat and he...

YOU TOLD MEYou told me you could never leave
You told me you would never say goodbye
You told me you never wanted to be free
But you told me a lie—just another goodbye
Your words were empty, your promises all broken
You had me believing, but now I just cry
Your ‘I love yous’ were just lies you told”
Trying to forget but...

Guilty of Silent ComplicityNot submitted for any contest
From the shallow ruins of Man's soul
to the blindness of hearts that we sold
to the flightless voices without a goal
tears we don't shed, a world dark and cold.
Is our sorrowed silence waiting
have we placed our hearts on hold
Are our fickle thoughts worth berating
Time to take our hearts in...

Halfway-NowhereLove, is not a moderate image to paint !
I have tread a serene parks walk with colourful abundant trees and beauteous scenes
Yet Love :
“let me honour those who favour you their forte”!
Lustful young love and bitterness in sweet red wine
Patience in a white steady car awaiting traffic to mind time
Everything coming together ,...

Start it overOld yet young, accomplished yet diminished.
Regret with anger and pain, life hasn’t started and yet it feels as it has ended before it has begun.
Has it ended for the mistakes I made or because I will have to live a life without you. Is life worth living for if you do not exist in mine.
Dull...
