I see their life's stories unfold
Then I hear tales about them
I know how I wanna be
I know how I am
I see people change
Different around different people
And what if kindness is really a facade?

-

But in this month of love
Hope we get someone to love us
In a way we understand

-

May 2023 be a year you can treasure
May 2023 be a blessed year for you
HAPPY NEW YEAR

-

I hope that you could treat me better
Than he did
I know that I deserve a gentleman

-

Why do I wait for you to text back
When it leaves my heart racing?

-

We were pages in a book; pressed together

-

Jee dates announced

-

The shining pearls of life we collect around our necks
Oh so pretty, everyone admires
We all know how tightly the ornament tugs
But they don't acknowledge the bruises underneath, just theirs
Every night it's just us, trailing our fingers over the marks
The pearls of life, the bruises of life

-

She could paint me red
I'd be reminded of hatred
She could laugh with me
My ears would sting
She could give me a rose
I'd just see the thorns

-

The stars have stories untold
Billions of miles away
Yet to our admiring eyes they twinkle nearby
While they yearn for touch that would end them
And perhaps hearts walk on paths trodden
