Your priorities,
and me.

I don’t mind the bottom of the list.
I’ll linger there,
waiting.
Always waiting.

Like a **** dog, my darling,
I’d curl by the door,
trembling,
eyes begging for the tiniest piece
of your mind.

Don’t leave me.
Don’t forget me.
Not ever.
Not for a second.

I’d break for you,
shatter into a thousand pieces,
and still beg,
still ache,
still burn
for your memory, your shadow, your love.
I can't trust you,
To whom "I love you"
Has nothing to do
With the things you do.
All of my love for you, will only ever written in letters, not in life.
For if I ever told you the truth, you would surely begone.
You'll forever be my last fleeting word, in life and in death.

Every friend when meets,
Seems an angel sent to us,
By the god from his providence,
But when departs after fulfilling,
His ends  selfish  and cunning,
All incidents of past moving.
In sky of our inner gloomy world,
Making us  cry and buzzing sad,
Echo of pain within ending world.
The heart of a writer is frail, like that of a flower waiting to be plucked. Life itself, or love, could uproot it, for no rhyme or reason.

I hate to say that my heart has been salted by the woes of man.
This never-ending race has left me wanting for watering.
Hang my heart on your wall with the others to dry out, my love.
I'm tired and weary—I need rest.
Life can be so bleak sometimes.
The weeds in our garden
Grew as fast as the pile
Of your unreplied letters
Such a sad race to behold...
REPOST. Written in sep/24.

Brother, we knew each other.
And then it was gone, like laughter on the wind.
It faded to a gentle breeze on my skin.

Brother, we knew each other.
Though, fathers we never knew, we did what we could to become what we wanted.
Things we didn't say, if time had been kinder, you'd have been a great uncle to my kids one day.

Brother, one day I'll find your smile etched in the grass.
The wind still carrying your laugh across those green fields.
I'll carry you with me wherever I've gone, till I'm gone.
Love you, brother. Just trying to keep my **** together, hope you're watching over me.
