Bye
He is trying to love her
as she's running for the door.
Should've done that
when she was crying
on the floor.
Regrets.
He's gonna have a few.
as she's running for the door.
Should've done that
when she was crying
on the floor.
Regrets.
He's gonna have a few.

Crazy Lady Returns
I am perplexed.
Shocked by who I was
just days ago –
Who the hell was that?
Fawning, needy,
wretched creature,
I wish no one had witnessed her
but there she was,
born out of a week
laden with worst fears,
slow-cooked stress,
resentful sacrifice
and poorly mixed chemicals.
She crept up unnoticed
(though I should have learned by now)
a bottle of crocodile tears in one hand,
the other one wielding claws
As I relaxed my guard
she pounced
a tempest, shredding good will
leaving me to tend...

Poetry is Cheating
I once had an ex who told me writing poetry was cheating.
In the same breath, he'd tell me that words were merely words.
That we shouldn't hold onto them so tightly.
Yo-yo opinions of a manchild who'd be the first to call you contradictory.
But naturally, I would be in the wrong simply because my words were capable of making him feel something.
Because reading those words I'd spill late at night onto a takeout napkin
made him realize what true love really looked like.
And that he could never measure up.
Insecure dilusions deep...

Hang Up
Wounded soul healing...
With scabs scratched off, Scars from dreary nights
Incisions to the heart, Afflictions of the past
Plethora of unspoken words, drowned in silent screams
Anchored to pain, the Illusion of Love
Wounded soul healing...
Did you finally smother writhing?
With scabs scratched off, Scars from dreary nights
Incisions to the heart, Afflictions of the past
Plethora of unspoken words, drowned in silent screams
Anchored to pain, the Illusion of Love
Wounded soul healing...
Did you finally smother writhing?

Edge of Night
I’ve mis-sworn allegiance
misplaced my trust
in my own force of will and ego lust
Braving each path as the one who brought mirth
a cup-half-full vision my basis of worth
Now here we sit on the edge of night
casting no shadows in stars’ cold light
for we are but a meaningless mist
and this is eternity’s cruel twist:
It matters not what we do with our time
for all is lament and all will die
Though we reach for each other through cloud and shade
even love is lament
and love will fade
misplaced my trust
in my own force of will and ego lust
Braving each path as the one who brought mirth
a cup-half-full vision my basis of worth
Now here we sit on the edge of night
casting no shadows in stars’ cold light
for we are but a meaningless mist
and this is eternity’s cruel twist:
It matters not what we do with our time
for all is lament and all will die
Though we reach for each other through cloud and shade
even love is lament
and love will fade

Drink
I spend these waning nights
Bent over the bar
Barely sipping whatever brew
They cast to such a castaway;
I crave the scent of lilacs
Free and wild
Along your shoulders;
I hoist the tankard
Or whatever meager vessel
Bears the troubled tides
Of my regret;
I drink
And I drink
And I drink
Unable to wash your memory
From my ugly mind,
Unable to forget the touch
Of your satin skin,
Unable to trust myself
To the perils of love,
Again;
So I spend these waning nights ...
Bent over the bar
Barely sipping whatever brew
They cast to such a castaway;
I crave the scent of lilacs
Free and wild
Along your shoulders;
I hoist the tankard
Or whatever meager vessel
Bears the troubled tides
Of my regret;
I drink
And I drink
And I drink
Unable to wash your memory
From my ugly mind,
Unable to forget the touch
Of your satin skin,
Unable to trust myself
To the perils of love,
Again;
So I spend these waning nights ...

I miss you brother
I sit by your grave, knowing not what to say, it's been two months now since you were taken away, I miss you more brother every day,
I'm looking after mum, but she is a mess, contemplating suicide because of the stress, I feel like I've been punched in the chest
I can't sleep , I'm scared of what mum may do, we can't lose her the same way we lost you,
I believe you waited for me before you passed on, it's the longest ever trip that I've done,
I don’t know how we're going to get through this, but we will, we have to,
So if you're...
