Unfinished

nothing is ever finished
do not believe in the definitive
life is a spectrum
black and white exists
to those who live fixed
wander
grey is the colour
of a question
that has no answer.
An aversion to yes or no questions and complete decisions.

Isn't it funny
How when someone leaves you
That they're the only person
you'd want to talk to about it?
I took the girl I had known for never to the formal affair,
And she told me she was from Laos,
And hadn't had sushi in over a year,
And said her father was a diplomat,
And she spoke great English,
And said she lived in Canada when she was a child,

All I could say was,

"I hope I'm as interesting as you someday."

She smiled, laughed, and said,

"Your time is up."

As she was leaving all I could think was,

"That escort sure had an elaborate backstory."
Based on my experience with a last-minute date for a formal event.  The real-life inspiration was not an escort, but most of my dates to these events have seemed like they were just that, the only difference being the method of payment.
You can't control falling in love,
but you can control where you land.

we are so selfish ,
trying to save ourselves from our battle that we forgot about those that innocently got caught in between .
We make decisions that we don't have rights making
We take lives ,some ours
without even blinking
Life without love
Is that ever worth living?
Not when hundreds,thousands
Bodies fall,not when
everyone is not satisfied
With themselves
At all.
We aren't all that bad but the thought that bad things happens around us kinda haunts me. This is our world, we should make the best of it rather than destroy it as it's our only one and only .
Sometimes, we really can't do anything about it and I think that's where we're the lost cause . We study .we get education so we could get jobs to save ourselves from poverty(?) but we don't exactly search for answers , search for a way to help the rest. Okay I'm messed up ,idk if anyone even understands

Blood, bones and scales
with you and your sneath
Sail me to death
and tell them my tales

Arms wrapped around her tight; I cuddle her close to me,
Bundled up, as we lay in bed; waiting patiently.
She shivers with goose bumps all over her body,
The TV is on silent; watching her favorite movie, Rocky.
Silence fills the room with the noise of despair,
Surrealism is setting in; we’re beginning to not care.
If we die today, that’ll be okay,
Our love is strong, we just need to pray.
Pray we’ll be together if fate makes it clear,
That it’s time to move on, the end is near.
She turns on her side, her facing looking at mine,
She bursts into tears, and begins to cry.
“I can’t, I can’t, I need to leave”
“My mom, my dad, my little brother needs me”
I grab her as she was about to get up,
I pulled her down and gave her a great big hug,
“You can’t leave, you can’t leave, it’s coming”
“You wouldn’t make it, even if now you started running”
“Just lay here with me, and just hope for safety”
“Don’t go running, don’t be crazy”
She agreed and laid back in my arms
At that moment we heard the alarms.
“Baby, baby, no, no” she screamed,
Sobbing like a child, a bright light beamed.
I counted down, three to none,
We lost the war, the enemies won.
