Thoughts racing, heart chasing.
You're mad, I'm sad.
Can't stop shaking, there's no faking
When I see you in the halls,
I stall, hide behind a pillar, a friend, anything
Just to avoid the awkward eye contact.
I'm not good at confrontations, at the mere thought of it I flee..
You might think I'm crazy or immature,
But when you told me to stop talking to you my mind went a blur..
My friends say you're overreacting, over something so small.
I fear you'll dump me, leaving me lonely..
I'm so sorry.. Please forgive me?
Happy 18th Birthday, I love you S.L.
My clock never told the time
and looked silently glum

lost its ticking rhyme
with the pendulum
uprooted to be muted
hands dismantled
so you can guess
it made no progress
sitting pretty still
as I went about on my will
set my own pace
not bothering about the dial's arc
but scheduled my work
according to my when
till declared insane
and sent to asylum.

Since I've been sitting pretty glum
like the dead pendulum.

Hanging like a scimitar
suspended in the sky,
the moon beside a gleaming star
is pleasing to the eye.
How desolate, this satellite
in airless ebon space
and yet, from here
‘tis beautiful
filagree & lace.

The moon is rising
The street lights go on
The night has arrived
I started my car
And I drove to the empty street
I turn on the radio
And play your  piano song

A tear came out of my eye

I realized how I miss you more and more
It's like a knife stabbing deeper and deeper in my heart ...
Only you can get the knife out of my heart
Because my heart can only be healed by her

I still need you
I still miss you
and
I still love you.

If brokenness is art
Then I really am the masterpiece
You claim that I am
I must actually be beautiful
That must be why you
Can never stop staring at me
you are the true art
