Walls of Regrets
weakness
you make me weak
i cant get you out of my head
you told me you loved me
now i just wish i was dead
i tryed so hard
and for so long
this lowly bard
sings a sad song
you make want to kill myself and smile at the same time
and you still do
you kept my heart on the highest shelf
though it has nothing to do with you
when i speak to you now
i just want to cry
i just want to lay low
i just want to die
i loved you like no one else
but you made us fall apart
cant be alone by myself
listen to my heart
i wish could
but i cant
cause im weak
little ant
ill always be all alone
just by myself
im just done
nothing can get my heart
off that shelf
i cant get you out of my head
you told me you loved me
now i just wish i was dead
i tryed so hard
and for so long
this lowly bard
sings a sad song
you make want to kill myself and smile at the same time
and you still do
you kept my heart on the highest shelf
though it has nothing to do with you
when i speak to you now
i just want to cry
i just want to lay low
i just want to die
i loved you like no one else
but you made us fall apart
cant be alone by myself
listen to my heart
i wish could
but i cant
cause im weak
little ant
ill always be all alone
just by myself
im just done
nothing can get my heart
off that shelf

Another Day...
Another day at school,
Another day put to rest.
Another day at home,
Another day to forget.
Another day of happiness,
That is so long overdue.
Another day to cry and weep,
Right in front of you.
Another day to recover,
Another day to resume.
Another day to fight,
Another day to lose.
Another day to fall apart,
And scream at all the pain.
Another day to slit my wrist,
Then hang from a rope and sway.
Another day has passed,
Another day wont come.
Another day has slipped away,
Another day is... Well... gone.
Note:
Sorry for not being active. I will try to post more often.

Reflections
The only friend you had
you left
hanging
on the wall
in your bathroom
every Promise
You made
You broke
Sincere apologies
you give
every day
to the eyes
that you see
that silently screams
please
I'm begging you
we have to leave
the shadows
that grow
from within
me
One Day I Will
I'm gonna wonder round
these strange lands
inside
my head
I'm gonna check these out
these thoughts
that I represent
I'm gonna stick around
to see
who's laying in my bed
I'm gonna work it out
how I arrived
when I was dead
coz all the teachers keep telling me
I'm just a machine
born to breed
work and believe
I'm gonna wonder round
these strange forests
inside my head
I'm gonna check em out
these shadows
I've never met
coz all the teachers keep telling me
you'll suffer regret
If you look deep down inside
What's in your head
I Could've Killed The Dentist
I was nine years old and had crooked teeth;
the dentist was so pretty, smiled and coaxed me plenty.
Her assistant was ugly thou, with rough and heavy hand (bad breath too), not to mention that the needle looked more like a katana to me.
I was sure they want to kill me and so,
I fought and had their hands pierced by that damned pointy!
But I was just a child and eventually, they won with the fifth samurai.
No, they didn't kill me, but I wish I killed the dentist (and her assistant) instead.
Because of them, I learned the art of feigning everytime my tooth is aching!
Now, more than three decades and my teeth are yet to meet another dentist.
I wonder how much more could I endure?
Sometimes when the pain is too much,
I think of that dentist (and her assistant)
and committed murder inside my mind, the best analgesic I ever found.
Courage to forget the horror of my first visit to the Tooth Fairy, that is what I am hoping for.
For I know, one of these days, murder won't save me anymore from the pain, from the decay, from the need of a Dental Health Care.

Lost
When I was a child
You appeared strong
In control
A force of nature
Central to my world
As a young man
Starting out
We became
Disconnected
Separated
The birth of my child
Brought approbation
His progress in life
Polite interest
Not jubilation
Miles apart
Sporadic calls
Fewer visits
Birthday wishes
Christmas cards
Your grandson has
Flown the nest
Grade A student
The best of the best
A military man
You are now older
Frail and alone
Your life has regrets
Disappointments
Things unsaid
A long journey made
To her who created
Raised and educated
Undoubtedly loved
To visit and embrace
Arriving at her home
It's quiet, deserted
Bed stripped bare
Nothing to be done
We check into an hotel
Make enquiries around
Checked hospital admissions
Soon located and confirmed
Visit duly planned
Armed with flowers
When we arrive
Quietly greeted
Show to an office
Gently seated
My mother has died
Quickly and peacefully
Old age and illness
Finally triumphant
Last respects too late
Nothing more to be said

Dreaming in Vain
I’ve been lied to,
Over and over again,
And yet I chose to
Live out the story and keep the truth in.
I have tried to
Keep the facts from spilling out,
I sit quiet trying not to
Let the doubt take me to another route.
It’s not fun,
Still I play the fool,
Wrapped up in the web, being pun,
Being fed the occasional stool.
I have walls of regrets,
Written with words one never forgets,
And they're painted from floor to ceiling,
Dreaming in vain,
Screaming in colors of pain,
Tainted by lies I despise but keep concealing.

Behind These Walls
The walls that keep out the broken hearts and all of
The tears. I am safe where no one can ever hurt me
Again. I feel protected from this bad and cruel world.
Walls are shutting out undesired and unwanted love.
What do I know about it? A craving I wish I could see
Turn into something more. Nights when we are curled
Up on the couch because going out is way too draining.
Days when the rays of sunshine are streaming through
The cracks and holes of the bricks used to build my wall.
When you are watching my smile even when it is raining
Outside and I am sitting with the pain. That is when you
Make me want to stop building higher and realize that all
There is behind the walls lies insecurity. There is a girl
Who has been hurt so much and trusted too much. Some
People took advantage of the goodness in her heart and
Her forgiveness. Someone who lost her sparking pearl
Along the way while looking among the rocks and gun
Powder for something she already had. With her I stand.
