nshaf - Hello Poetry

There was a place. There was a time … There, I stood … still unknowing and everything seemed fine. But there in that place … at that moment in time … the moment I saw the eyes, I'd never believed I'd find. Well, what could I say? What could I do? In a world filled with billions … and there … was a you. I'd always known you were out there … even written of something amiss. I never, ever stopped looking for you … because my heart always said that you exist. My breezy Fall became harshest Winter. My crazy life left my health running out. I'd resigned myself that our moment had passed … but this moment … it removed all doubt. Well, what could I say? Tell me, what could I do? There we stood, staring … alone … in a city of millions … yes, there … there was a you. Oh, that mistress fate, she is just so cruel. Frustration, a curse to be mine. I'd searched for you my entire life … but now … my clock … knows a limit of time. You see, I would never venture a love with you, while knowing I'd have to leave you … hurt and alone. I could only admire from afar … stoic and aloof … while turning my heart into stone. Nothing I could ever say and nothing I could ever do … But now, at long last … at least I finally knew. There, you stood … green seas, gazing up … into skies of blue. My long-awaited revelation … become sorrow-laced realization. There really is … a you.

Roses are red Violets are blue Time goes by And I miss you Just like me The flowers grew But soon they wilted Just like you You were sweet This I knew Like an addiction I loved you Now the roses are dead The violets are too The garden's all gone And so are you Your flowers died I did too Because all along I was you

Theres a garden in my lungs

Roses are red Violets are blue Time goes by And I miss you Just like me The flowers grew But soon they wilted Just like you You were sweet This I knew Like an addiction I loved you Now the roses are dead The violets are too The garden's all gone And so are you Your flowers died I did too Because all along I was you

Sirens are wailing, My very last breath is staling. A set of eyes pin me down, Complete with a mock frown. "Why, it looks like you're in trouble." My fear seemed to double. It's just like how they say, 'Your life flashes before your eyes.' I'm pathetic, aren't I? I let this person find my weakness while I was blind. "Now, if I may," A beat passed. I'm going to die. "I shall see to your demise."

Death by Arson

Sirens are wailing, My very last breath is staling. A set of eyes pin me down, Complete with a mock frown. "Why, it looks like you're in trouble." My fear seemed to double. It's just like how they say, 'Your life flashes before your eyes.' I'm pathetic, aren't I? I let this person find my weakness while I was blind. "Now, if I may," A beat passed. I'm going to die. "I shall see to your demise."
