At times when I grow lonely
I read the messages you've sent
It's been a month
Since I've spilled my heart to you

You found some piece of me
A bit of reality I had lost
Sang melodies through the phone
And now silence rings

Trial and failure to clear my mind
Every thought leads to another
Then the others lead to you
Eventually I'll find peace

Peace a thousand miles from you
Only able to touch you through maps
Unable to touch you through words
Alcohol and doctorates now consume your time
Should I lie and or just be fine with it
when the black tie's just holds all big fat lies
lies that lie on the back spine of the man
lies that hold us down to the ***** ground

let my precious red flowers get stamped on
my voice disappears in the empty space
I cook I clean and don’t get time to look’s
This has gone on for ages women in small cages

The freedom to be and not to be done
How long will it be till I get ones?
A bird in a cage or out in the sun
Oh dear lord look how much were overcome

A seat at the table I must get one
Show others that power get us to move on

How quickly she forgot
How poorly I expressed
And either way
We are run away
With the feeling of want which may not keep
And will not if you ask the likes of me
It's true...and this is why time matters to me.

Blah blah
Losing someone,
Is not a one time thing.
You lose them everyday,
Slowly and slowly,
You feel a part of yours missing everyday.
You lose someone,
When you bury your hopes,
When you stop fighting,
When you lose the urge to make things work out,
Despite the intensity of your feelings.
You may be losing them,
Everyday every moment,
But they are never lost.
They always exist within you,
Somewhere, somehow.
While losing you, i'm losing myself too.

Hot black coffee
The smell of popcorns
Corner seats
&
You and I

Still fresh memories
Of
Sunsets from when we lived
//ronay waalon se kaho unka bhi rona rolien, jin ko waqt o halaat ne ronay na diya//

Miss you

I'll face it,
The place I call home
Is just a
Smaller,
Emptier
Lonely room
To wait out the time.
Old words are meant to be thrown away
they're like snake venom throughout your body
all the old, faded words you wished

were never written

I'm glad someone stole my old journal full of poems
because I am a new person now

a new pen writing on a brand new page
the page clings to me, and I to it,
and together we make beautiful new work

talking about the one who makes your heart sing
and the past that has hurt you, but you finally overcame it

that's the thing about old words

they're meant to be thrown away

-m.a.
Just some thoughts
