I realize now
I realize that I didn't love him the way I loved him,
Because I love him.
No.
It was because I love me.
I was selfish, it was always about me. Me. Me.
So, I loved him the way I wanted to be loved,
In hopes that he would take a cue, and love me the same way in return.
I didn't realize that he was him
And I was me.
Two entirely different people- and we couldn't love the same
Or be loved the same
And because I didn't understand that, I ended up giving myself blisters,
Holding on to the rope of us
A rope that should never have been drawn
But one that thinned out anyways, because he couldn't love me
And I... I couldn't love him

We are always worried about future. Always too worried.

We worry about going hungry tomorrow, so we starve ourselves today in order to save for tomorrow.
And when tomorrow becomes today, we put our lives on replay
We worry about having to repeat that nice shirt next week, so we put it away today. We take the polo that seems more fitting for the day, instead. Unbeknownst to us, we simply end up wearing that polo, over and over again and the right time for the nice shirt, seemingly never comes.
We worry about not acing that test, so we stay up all night, and end up going blank in the exam hall.
We worry so much about getting that job, that we fail to see the other jobs passing us by, that could amount to something more.
We worry about being hurt tomorrow, so we refuse to love today. We constantly fear that these feelings we have, may come to naught on the morrow, so we refuse to bask in its glow today.
We forget that the only moment we are sure of is now. Not the next minute, not the next twenty-four hours, only now.

And because we are always too worried about the future, we end up not living in the present.
Merely existing...
What then, have you been given this life for?

I had so much space in my heart to fill
There were too many,
Who needed love out there

Because I had so much love in my life
That I had recieved
With it, I filled my heart to the brim

Now, I have so much love in my heart to give

FATE

Eyes fluttered close
Last breath, she took
Struggle ceased
Hands, became cold
-Death cold
Goodbye, her last words

Six feet deep
Dirt and wood
Lowered, flowers
Like father and brother
Mother was gone
Again, I had been left behind

Loneliness
Sorrow
Nights, seemingly endless
Alone, I ached
Suddenly, morning dawned
My light returned

He came a hero
Love, showered
Kisses, stole
Ring, gave
And on the fourth year,
Again, I was left behind

-

DECIET

Gazes locked
Breaths mingled
One heart broke slowly
The ache, numbing
A desperate plea
-"Promise me things will get better"
A resounding assurance
- "I do, I love you"
Yet, here I am
And there you still are
The night still dark
Each moment
It gets clearer
All your sweet whispers
Were nothing,
But clever lies

FURY

Today, the hunter has become the prey
Impatience gnaw me, as I lay in wait
Nevertheless, a predator never loses its patience
-I heard the white man say
For this, I must remain calm, completely in sentience
This anger I feel, will no longer be quenched

Soon, he will come staggering in
Drunken, wasted away, senseless
Howbeit, with enough strength to display his monstrosity
Mother is hurdled in a corner in fear, all her pleas have come to naught
She knows today, I will not be stopped
When the prey comes, this dagger shall take residence in his heart

-

Ancient words,
Ever True
Changing me, through and true
I have come with open heart
Oh, let they ancient words impact

For your promises are new everyday
Your words, all encompassing
Every passage, true in different ways
They speak to me
Message new, everyday

I have come with open heart,
Oh let thy ancient words impact

-

I'm tired
Sometimes it feels as though I'm drowning
But no one believes
A clown never cries

Laughs
Why do you think he wears a mask?

Only for me, it's more of an alter ego
There are good days
There are bad days
But today, we don't give up

-

The whirlwind
The electricity
The chemistry
The biology
Damn!
Love!!!




How about peace?
How about that?
