22/F i look for joy in a strange place
you told me you were leaving because i smoke cigarettes i stopped smoking in fear of losing you forever i went by your place to tell you that i broke my bad habit i saw you pressing your lips against someone new my walk home was lonely and the only thing pressed to my lips was a cigarette i guess it's time to quit my bad habit: you.

bad habit
i am sorry that when you broke i didn't help you back together but started checking your pieces to see if any of them could serve to fill my missing ones

i always have the urge to run. but what is it like to be a tree? to be confident enough to root yourself and grow with wild abandonment, being unapologetically you? i'm still running, but i wish i knew.

Hey listen, Things might sound platonic but your black shirt suits you perfectly. Just like that dimples, bubbled up so calmly in the right place. Destined perks in the right choice of creature. Your ravishing eyes and sugar-coated smile obviously would: **** the Athena, Drunken the cupids, And gladly also take myself down on my knees. I'm not trying to hide, But reality blows better miles around you.

Delusion
Choking off people’s assumptions, I’m not like the enigma. I may look complicated; Yet I’m just a small, arduous spec of the universe. I may give catechisms; Bet it’s painless to break, if you feel. I might have a perplexing persona; But honey, that’s the shadow of your ego. I was drowning, in the basin of lies called fairy tales. And I was drunk, in the virtual reality you made. I let you choke me, with the wine so called love. I’m awake; After weeks of being high of your lies, After months of being high of your manipulating acts, Bet that’s why you’re making a great actor. The masks finally ripped of the performer; The lies, the bitter truth, Leaving the ego, caught in the act. Turns out that I can’t differentiate between reality and stage-play. I can’t find the difference between when you truly do something, Or when you’re doing your job on the stage. I have myself questioning about things, Do actors have feelings? Do actors always manipulate their acts? I finally read the script; The deceptive tears, the dishonest sweet words, And how I’m just a puppet to your puppetry. Then I realised a thing. I was not a conundrum. I was a slave to your ego, In your stage-play, And you did great on your show.
