Why do you do me like this? This agony you keep on inflicting Inflicting this pain like it means you everything Everything you said I am to you You proved it all differently Differently you treat me like you care A care that makes me shatter into pieces Pieces I can't pick up and replace Replace your care with nonchalance And it's nonchalance that I crave from you You mean none to me, neither I to you To you, it's all a duty, a wicked way for satisfaction for your wounded soul My soul, it's somewhere I can't reach, or even remember when I had it I had it when I wasn't here, when I was nothing anywhere Anywhere I go, you follow me like a haunting shadow A shadow of my mother, and one of my brother, now you are the very same Same as it was before, nothing has changed for me For me, history repeats itself, like a broken record on replay Replay your theatrics, play for yourself as long as you want You want me to change? Let me tell you, I will not Not this time, and not like this

An attempt at Sestina
And you don't seem to understand How much I want to be your friend I want to reach out to your arm But if I do you'll break my heart And I wanted to go on And I wanted to press on But I was never even there You moved on and now you're gone So many whimpers in the dark I let no one to help me up And I wanted to keep up And I still want to catch up But if I do you'll break my heart So many times I've dreamt about Having you here and making up Fogive and forget and going on But I know the truth is so harsh And I know that you're not The same friends I've once loved

Catching Up to Someone Gone
Keep me calling to you Keep me hoping for a way out I'm afraid, yes I am I left my home for you, but now I'm leaving without a cue All this noise is deafening, I can't hear anything Was this worth my own beating heart? Now that I'm laying in my mire, I have no clue I tell myself it's for you, for a better day tomorrow I fought and now I'm dying, unknown and to be forgotten But the only thing I see, is the sky that's anywhere and blue I want to remember you, but all I see are the moments of intoxicated pleasure and vulgarity I can't even recall what I was doing here, but I faintly see you When I think about it, I've lost and gained none For a freedom I'll never see, for a day that would never come for me And it's all for the good of you I look around and I see my friends with the same look as mine We fought as one, and we're dying as one United for nothing, united for you

United for Death
I live between steps and motions And we dance in the rhythm of distance and closure I'm like the tide's of an ocean And your voice tames the raging emotions You've changed my system and notion In a way that's only called devotion I'm like the cigarette, you're like the potion When our lips meet, it's my heart's amotion Can you feel the beat in your heart? Yeah, it's my passion's commotion Loving you is my sweetest sin I don't mind the fire's exposure We don't care about our mirage and composure I'll be with you until our heart's erosion
