The day she decides she’s done,
Wasting her best years in fear,
Cowering in filth and shadows,
Her pet cockroaches near,
Who can’t face me in the light,
And scurry from the sight,
If not too tainted then,
By their black-fingered blight,
She may assume her place,
Beside me in spite,
Of a once-roach being sprayed,
And my Queen’s appetite,
Will never be spoiled again,
By these putrid insects,
Ever scavenging and stealing,
Like a cancer that infects,
Where she finally feels the kiss,
On her face so inspiring,
As sun enlightens her,
Without her scurrying, but smiling.
Why couldn't you see
That I was meant to be yours
Until you were gone.
the thought of you
as I sat upon my bed thinking of you. I came to a sombering conclusion of us. if you really loved me, enough to be with me, you would love me enough see it through. yet. here I am with no reminisce of you. oh, the dreary dread of the memories of you. as they fill with my head with the different sensations of being with you, the memory of you is shared between two.
We met in a coffee shop
off Fifth Avenue
In Jersey.
You were so magnetic;
your eyes shone so brightly.
A couple of years passed by;
and our paths crossed
once more
through the entanglement
of interwoven destiny.
We both ended up
in that coffee shop again.
I have to ask:
Did the blue in
your hair fade naturally,
or did you lose your sense
of self-expression?
Your aura felt hollow;
your eyes weren’t dancing
when I looked at them.
Some say blue is the warmest color.
Darling,
blue doesn’t suit
you at all.
And neither
does
blonde.
For once, I feel loved.
The feeling is weird to me.
Just a few months ago I thought love was stupid.
That it was impossible.
I thought my mind was not suited
I thought it was not tangible.
Such a foolish thing to think.
Of course my mind can comprehend love
But it could all go away in a blink,
to feel higher than clouds, to feel so above
To then just be put out,
Like a fire at a campsite.
Yes, the seeds of doubt
Start to plant with delight
Maybe,
I am not suited for such things.
I must be crazy!
To think I am worthy of something meant for the worldly kings.
Love this
Love that
Love her
Love him
Love these
Love those
Love.
I do not know.
I am not a dove…
I am so far below…
For once, I felt loved.
The feeling is weird to me.
Just a few moments ago I thought love wasn’t stupid.
That it wasn’t impossible.
I thought my mind was suited
I thought it was tangible.
Such a foolish thing to think.
Losing someone is hard.
Whether it’s from
Death
Or you got into a fight.
Or you just had to let them go..
Letting go is hard.
I’ve had to do it before.
It left me broken in
Some cases
In other cases it
Made me happier
But most of the time I was broken.
Losing your favorite person is hard.
But sometimes it’s the right thing.
Sometimes the right thing seems wrong…
That’s ok.
It’s normal.
Don’t be lost after losing someone.
Try not to lose your way.
Because once you lose the path..
It’s hard to find it again..
“Come here”
You said, gesturing to the sunset.
I climbed up beside you, my legs dangling over the edge of the railing.
My breath sped up as you put your hand on my back
The thumping of my heart was felt all the way in my ears
I relaxed into your touch
just enough
for you to have complete control
I exhaled a sigh of relief,
for I had gotten what I’d always wanted
The sigh turned into a gentle breeze
And in that moment, I was falling
There were no butterflies
There were no sparks
Just your hand
On my back
Resting heavier and heavier
Until you gave me a push
And suddenly, I was falling
Not into your arms
But onto the
cold.
hard.
ground.
One Wish
I was young
I was stupid
If i had one wish
i’d wish to undo it
but i’ve realized i can’t spend my time
dwelling
on what could have been
and what wasn’t all because we couldn’t
fix our communication
he is the one boy i would have loved
and if you’re reading
All we needed was trust
I have loved you
no
let me rephrase that
I would have loved you
more than the sun loves the sea
If only you had let me
I haven’t seen him in months
Haven’t talked to him for longer
I want to stop missing him for once
I’m getting weaker and can’t get stronger
I want peace in my heart
I want to be happy with who I am with
My head and my heart are torn apart
My feelings are nothing but a myth
I’m losing my mind and strength
I’m trying to push forward and make a new life
It’s ruining my mental health
He said he wanted me to someday be his wife
I can’t help but think the one I’m with now is a fling
Nothing but a mindless, heartless rebound
The memories won’t stop recurring
Wave of pain crashed and I drowned
I fell in love with someone who I can never be with
Deep down underneath my heart lies with myths
I just want someone to hold
Not wondering if they'll ever come home
Walking along the Harbours
Walking along the rocky harbour,
I looked off into the clouds above,
The moon was shining ever so bright;
And I remembered the labour of love.
Artillery was being fired far and wide;
Where could I go?
Stuck in a musty chamber;
I tried to lie low.
For weeks, I hadn’t seen her,
Her face a fragile memory;
I yearned to be with her;
The week felt like a century.
Holding the letter in my hands,
Tears streamed down my face.
I collapsed onto the pavement
And I wished I could press ‘backspace’.
I believe in soulmates
Because of you
I believe in soulmates
Or else I’d lose you
( A Letter to My Beloved in Heaven)
You said "I'll be right back"
I nod and said okay
Unaware and unknown of the moment
You left me alone on life's pathway
I didn't knew it will be the last time
I see your angelic face
I never thought it will be the last time
I feel your cosy embrace
Still can't believe
My heart is in so grieve
Sun still rises from east
And darkness fall at night
But when tomorrow starts without you
Each day is not as bright
Never thought you will leave me this way
Without you each hour now seems a day
Your memories fill my eyes with tears
Without you in this crazy world my heart fears
Fears that how I will live rest of my life
Without you by my side
You were my strength
That carried me to another tomorrow
You were my hope
That replaced my everlasting sorrow
I'm completely broken from heart
I don't know what to do
My love it will never ever be the
Same world without you........
One slow motion jagged tear
found me after you left me here.
Its wetness sits still upon my face
as I stare at absolutely no place.
What I do live and what I dream
and all sundries fitting in between,
now struggle in a frenzied dance
passing thru, in and out, this circumstance.
My brain is mush circling a clueless groove.
Surely, I need an enlightened next move.
Calm failed to enter when you shut the door,
and life as I knew it quit being anymore.
I simply cannot find my identity.
Maybe it left with you and my clarity.
I seek to ease a primal urge to shout
at frenzied thoughts dashing about.
Perhaps I knew years had grown weeds
while I prayed for fertilized love seeds.
Perhaps I knew time long held this bleed
while I prayed true love would succeed.
Perhaps my heart just died in your stampede.
