half disappointed, half alive
oh this resilient heart of mine!

-

I can’t talk about
a parallel universe
or another world
all too unreal
all too misleading
It’s either ‘here and now’
or nowhere at all

-

Whatever you send out there
Comes back only when it seems fair

-

I surrender to
whatever it is
& whatever it will be
but how do I forget
what it was
& what it could have been

-

When I met you
I met me too
with you gone
I lost us both

-

And I keep swinging
between my fears
of forgetting you one day
and remembering you forever

-

To understand the pain of another
is an art very few can master

-

I have been hard on myself
others were also cruel enough
the softness I heartily poured for them
if I had spared sometime for self love
my nights would have been
devoid of the nightmares
my days would have been
a little less rough

-

I wonder if it ever gets easy
This life and its challenges
It’s like like wishing for the stars
to shine differently
Earth to stop spinning
Or time to stop running

-

You’re pretty much the only thing
I think about night and day
Like a warm shower after a long and hard day
You make all my worries fade away
Honey, what can I say?
Would it too much to ask you to stay?
