I am someone who— Anyone can rely on, A shoulder to cry on, A sail to carry them on, Through the worst of times, Any time. But when it’s my turn To face the tide, There’s no one by my side. I have a heart— That can forgive anyone and anything, Any number of times, Over and over. But never once could it forgive, If it was I who made the mistake.

A Sail for Others, Adrift Myself
She was mine. Not a car, not a pet, Not something to own— She had a life of her own. But— My eyes are mine, My heart is mine, For they are a part of me. Without them, I am incomplete.

She (was)
Decided to become that version— Heartless. Ruthless. No place for love. No emotions dictating, Only silence, always calculating. No chances taken, Nothing to hurt, no pain to endure. But then it dawned— Even this was emotion dictating. Just a bargain with time, To postpone the pain. No one is invulnerable. No one is unstoppable. No one can escape, When love decides to pay a visit. No one can escape The joy that it brings, And the dreaded pain that follows

Can I Ever Escape?
"Take a break everyday, Grieve what burdens you", they said I chose my tea time One hour in the evening, everyday But I do not know why It never seems to end When one ends, The other starts The sun rises, the sun sets Day ends, a new day starts But I have a tea break That just never ends

A break that never ends
The pain was brutal, unable to bear She was gone forever, Why wasn't I there for her? While she prayed for me to stay with her? Was I even a good lover? But she was gone forever, Never to say, "Only you and I, hereafter" Closed my eyes to drown the regret, But all the good memories with her Were now nightmares, too much to bear, But she was gone forever, Never to make new ones, ever The pain was brutal, why was she gone? I looked at the mirror, saw a broken one What made me lose her, my only one? I will remove them, one by one! And once I was done I looked at the mirror, saw they were gone The one left standing, the one she loved, I smiled at myself, I sat down It was quiet all around Also, inside I was free Forever in peace

Until The End?
"I wonder", asked one "Why do you wear that watch The one that doesn't even run" "Why not repair it?" wondered another "I wonder, Why even bother with an analog?", asked another "I will do one better”, said another Why wear one at all when you have a phone?" They all wondered And left But here I am I wonder too, Why do I wear a mask outside? Hiding the pain inside Why can't I let go? Even though I must Why am I stuck in time, just as my watch? I wonder too
