Balaguer: Favorites

Skeletons

Batboy

As much as it is the kindness of a person
Barely even a thought
The day you had in months past
Mistakes made unforgiven
That linger in your bones
You choke on self hatred
Like glass in your throat
being seen and seeing
Past face value, to skeletons that stand alone
Sweat and tears for a smile
For a day
For a minute all the same
To be known is warmth
And being understood is love
Taken for your skeletons
And cherished anyway

I was drawing our future—
Two kids, two cats, maybe even two dogs,
Plus you and I.
But I had no clue
how you were writing the breakup song.

Yet here you are once again ,
Begging me to love you,
Begging me to understand you,
Just like I used to, back in time.
(cause i used to back in time.)

but baby, we can’t go back to that.
It’s too late now—
You came too late this time.
Some things just don’t work out
You and I, my love—
That’s what we are now

All this crying and begging,
Don’t pull my heartstrings now.
It was really hard for a while,
I was so lonely at the same time.

so get off your knees ,
and stop pleading me
with those eyes.
I’ve come too far now,
and refuse to act in the same show a second time
(won't fall for your acting for the second time)

i can't rewind
i won't even try
i'm so done with you and i

so let’s draw the curtains now
and call this the end of you and I.

Blue&Brown

I watch the sea crash onto the sand at sunset,
the orange tinted blue never leaving their blue hued brown for just a second,

our eyes never changing directions.

The blue bleeds into the brown,

fading unnoticed into this connection.

May the day ever come,
we see blue and brown part,
so will vanish everything else along with them,

laying their fate in the stars.

could it be love?

my blood turns cold
at the realization
my heart yearns
for yours

Bleeding Wounds

I don't want to mend my relationship with you
I want to let it bleed
So that everyone can see what you did to me

Sadness

I have lived a childhood
Of sadness!
Though I was a
Sweet and kind child
Brilliant in every way
The other pegged my for my
Race and my looks
Oh the sadness
I had to live
And never knowing real love
From another woman

November

November

November comes in waves,
First, the leaves turn orange,
And fall from the trees.
Second, the last summer bird flies away,
And the city is left lonely,
With the haunting song of the crows.
Third, the winds turn bitter and cold,
And those who walk the streets dwindle,
Till I’m walking the city and find I’m alone.

This goes out to everyone who's feeling lonely, it's too cold now in days.

Loved?

Loved?

I knew someone,
As far as I knew.
Knew him till none,
But my love was true.

He had humour, he was silly,
He was like me; he was just me.
We shared our joys, shared our sorrows,
We had our today, dreamt of tomorrows.

But then, I saw the lies,
They pierced my heart like knives.
I hated him more each day,
I wished he’d go away.

His presence haunted me,
His guilt engulfed me.
He needs to go, go far,
But he can’t leave,
I am him.

Standing on the edge,
Step on the ledge,
Leaned to the front,
Skipped to the front,
Falling from the sky,
Falling onto die.

As I fell down, I realised,
He is human, he can change,
Maybe he can heal himself,
Maybe I would love him, again.
But as I fell down, I realised,
All that gone now, all in vain
And we laid down, with no pain.
