24/F Not a poet, I just write to ease the pain
You wore a coat of deceit, Promising that we would meet. I laid my heart bare in your palms, You made it a puppet - strings and all. Whilst I held my breath And counted the days, You warmed another's bed And continued your games. I tried to reason with myself, But the flames in my heart burned too well. You lied that you needed time And that everything would be fine, But wrecked souls lay in your wake, You just know how to take. And now, as I rip your knife out of my chest, Only sorrow remains behind this lonely breast.

Just Another Mirage
Sometimes I like to watch people and try to see Who is happy Who is free Who wails at night And each morning basks in sunlight Who has a home with a little garden And who is still trying to make a bargain Who could find light amidst sorrows dark Who is healing a broken heart And I always wonder who could be As lonely as me

Wondering
Forget me not when we were but two buds basking in the warmth of sun's rays Forget me not when we were curious critters seeking endless adventures Forget me not when we were bravely sailing through life's tides Forget me not when we were embracing tightly in the face of hardships Forget me not when we were two withered flowers reminiscing the bloom of youth Forget me not when we were no longer bound but two stars illuminating the endless sky Forget me not for I shall never forget you

Forget me not
While the vines of your presence constrict my lungs and won't let me breathe I try to calm my poor beating heart and set myself free One more day One more week One more month Don't give up on trying Why won't you let me be? Even if you keep pulling me back in the same cold depths I am still trying to defy you You just keep on spinning that same web Why won't you let me go? Am I not human in your eyes?
