It wanders.
The desert, of
Loneliness.
It is a vast stretch of forever.
That rarely,
One survives.
My kingdom, for some water..
The dichead exclaimed.
He woke up.
And
Took
One
More……

Imagination.
Killed the cat.
Of course..it is still alive.
So there is that.
But when he saw,
That he  was free,
To do the work,
For you and me.
When all I want.
Is to just ……………………….

If Not for You

If not for you.
There wouldn’t be a shining light.
To see where you are right.
And I am wrong.

If not for you.

i used to sing this along
In my dreams....
ode to the one(s)
that got away...

from you
and
me

> . <

I showed you my fractures,
You mapped my vulnerabilities
And instead of healing hands,
You chose to weaken me.

You fed on my collapse
Like a demon drinking pain,
Reading my fears like a scripture,
Playing god with my ruins.

I tried to be your fortress
While you dismantled my walls,
Brick by savage brick,
Until only dust remained.

Now in this hollow aftermath,
You twist the narrative;
I was too distant, too broken.
I became the architect of my fall.

You'll weave your golden lies,
The world will nod and believe.
But these silent scars speak the truth,
As you left a wreckage deep within.
