If I should ever lose you,
I just know the world turn grey
Like all colors that came before this moment
Will have lost its meaning anyway

The sky would cease to be blue,
The moon would refuse to shine
And every poetry that I utter
Will simply remain a complex line

If I should ever lose you
My heart would no longer be one
Because keeping us apart means
Half of my soul will be gone

And if the entire world should be given to me
But I would be without your presence
Then they might as well throw me to the flames
Otherwise I will be trapped in endless reminisence
Everyone speaks of Parallel Lines
The tragic story of being so close, yet so far
But very little do tell the bittersweet tale
Of those who meet in the Perpendicular

To start on opposite paths,
constantly walking in non-congruence
To intersect at only one point in time
and wonder at another if any of it made sense

Forever reaching forward,
Forever without a way back
Spending the rest of your waking moments, thinking
what the hell did I lack
Wrote this as a thought experiment
Kazy Cua Jan 10
Beyond the riverbend,
Lies the tombstone nobody could see
The initials spell out D. Y. M. M.
"Do you miss me?"

Wrote the girl who, at 14 wanted to die,
but made it to 23, —half burried alive

The blood around the creek,
coincidentally too dry
Just like the tear stained marks you could see
Peeking from beneath her hollow eyes

She knew how to be perfect,
All her life - to always be clean
But God what she would've given up
For a day, instead, to be seen

All the heroes she loved,
and the pretty girls she wanted to be
Turned out to be villains in disguise
and empty chested barbies

There was no hope to be mentioned,
Everyday was a futile war
And yet somehow she can never quite bring herself
to wander or stray too far

Injustice for others,
is a song she has long been accustomed to,
What started with "I need to stand up for them"
ended in "If I should suffer, then so should you"

The intertwined threads of her life
Has become too much of a mess to untangle
What seemed like a perfect knitted sweater on the outside
Is really just lose yarn all scrambled

And perhaps that is why she - ended up in the grave
Except...

Except for that one man, she stayed for till 70
Whose light led her loudly across the dark tunnel
Mind you she never found her way out
But now she would not be afrtaid if she fell

And at the times when he is not around
It matters not for his eyes, she would forever keep
And should his death come quicker than expected
Her soul will be next to reap
Smooth hands, warm scent,
Lying down against the perfect canopy
I ask you what's for lunch later,
You shrug like a golden retriever and stare at me

I say "I love you, you idiot,"
And you say it right back,
Time flew by so quickly I didn't feel it,
And soon the sky turned black

Admist the flames of the brightest stars
I want nothing more than to dance with you
But you beat me to it, outstretching your arm
And swayed me around like you already knew

Cold were your hands when you held me tight
But warm was the blood that rushed to my cheeks
At this point I thought "we really need to lose weight,"
But you said you were mine even if we both turn into freaks

Its been like this with you every day,
And yet I could never get enough
I want to constantly see, talk and be near you
Whether the day was good or rough

I am yours forever and truly
And I'd say it even when you push all my buttons
It wasn't like a strike of lightning or out of the blue
Like something that just came all of the sudden

My love for you grew moment by moment
Since that first day I played you for otello
One day I woke up to realize  my heart has been reshaped for you
Carved out till its insides were made mellow

There and then I knew that you are the irrevocable piece of me
I once threw that part out into the sea, but like a once in a lifetime chance
You came back to me

and I'm never letting you go again...so **** it up
Dedicated to the love of my life, Josh.
not gonna lie, I've never wanted to be a person filled with spite
But because of the **** you've put me through I just want you to die
Nothing I do is ever good enough so instead,
I walk my waking days, constantly moving with a sigh

It may be evil, no in fact, I know for sure it is...
But I feel like I have no choice,
You have placed me in a cage, a display for all to see,
Threw the key and stole my voice

Because of you I don't even know me anymore
I am stuck in this endless unsatisfying path
If that is the kind of life you want to live,
Then please, just let your sacrifices be that

I don't want to follow in your footsteps
All the more I don't want to be your doormat
I am not some messed up font in your world of documents,
Waiting to be right with your "format"

Everyday I move further from people who understood me
Is a day I stand closer to you
Reliving all my childhood misery
And the robbery of all my youth

I hate you, in case it wasn't clear enough
The kind of hate that burns with a fire that cannot be quenched
Yet I am stuck in this dark place that no one dares to talk about
Thrown into some kind of river, a trench

Just a minute more I always tell myself
And then soon I will have my peace,
But this ****** up place, with all of its ****** up people
Know how to even **** that notion up with ease
~ WAR ~

When the rooster crowed, I stood there,
Hands ****** from the night before,
The dust settling, the bodies emerging,
Like waves of terror crashing upon the shore

I am only seven, there are many dreams I have yet to have
Like of the place where I used to live,
Where the skies were clear, and the sun was bright,
Now nothing seems to go right, even if I've given all I can give

My mother once said, "Bravest are the souls who fight the hardest battles,"
But mama, I'm no soldier
I'm merely a boy whose toys were ripped apart by the exploding shells
And whose life burn with ashes, fire and hell

I'm only seven, but I am no fighter....I just want

~ PEACE ~

You see that tall skyscraper over there?
I'm going to build one just like it someday,
But it will not be a touring spot on display...
it will be my castle, a fortress to stop all those in my way

I am only seven, but I know I have big dreams
To hold the most power in the room, to have the prettiest girl beside me,
Like the movies I have watched, the sky is the limit
And it might be a tad bit cliche but I'll make sure everybody sees it

Greed is not the word that I would exactly use,
But know that I will choose my happiness every single time
I'm not really a fan of violence either
But for this cause, exactly, I'm willing to commit crimes
