It is better to break
your own heart
before anyone
could
.
A Mar 2018
She was the sun
She was the rain
She could always,
Always take away the pain
She was more than just
Skin and bones
She could make hell
Feel like home
She dances to the beat
Of her own drum
She was like a shot
Of my grandfather’s finest ***
She was the light of my days
The stars of my nights
The fire of my *****
And the love of my life
She looked like art
And her eyes were brown
I’ve stared to similar ones
But only hers kept me down
She makes me feel alright
I don’t know
She makes everything alright
Oh god, I think she’s an angel
She keeps me up all night
I’ve yet to kiss her lips
But I bet nothing tastes like her
I bet the cola got nothing on her
I promise
I won’t do her any hurt

There she was,
looking like an angel as ever
with her long flowy dress
she was singing the groom's favorite song.
Everyone was dancing on the dance floor
with the gorgeous bride
while me and the groom stayed on the side
to watch her.

"Man, she is really something, huh?"
I asked the groom.

"Yeah, she is."
He answered as I saw his eyes light up,
then turn down.
"I wish I married her."

The bride ran to us as she tip-toed in her heels,
holding her long gown,
and took the groom's hand.
The song was finished
but the angel
in the long flowy red dress
was still on stage,
waving at me as she smiled.

I smiled back,
And under my breath I said,
"I wish I did too."

I could've been your baby girl
And I know
It's my fault

In this world,
And I say "this world"
Because there might be another
Where you don't get a coffee
In a warm lit cafe
Instead you drink something similar
That isn't called a coffee
In a place that doesn't even look like a cafe
In this world
We cannot just ride the same bus
With a person we've seen in a film
We cannot go to a place
And expect it will feel like home
We cannot do our rounds and shifts
And just let it be any thing
Other than mundane
We go on without having to clink our glasses
With the person we want to be there
We go on reading books alone
In a room full of voices of people
Without having one to ask you about the title
I go on waking up every morning
And not find your deep, baby blue eyes
Because in this world
We had to endure distances
In this world
We had to find comfort in isolation
In this world
We can never be together
But maybe in another we can
In another, we're much more of a free soul
Wise men did say
That there can be an infinity of worlds
Where the things that are not
Are is in another
We're not that in this world
But maybe in a different one
We are
Or maybe here
We can
Inspired by a piece written by Gaby Dunn.
A Jan 2017
You were a flame
suddenly lit in the midst of darkness.
You were bright and such easy to the eyes.
You weren't easy on the hands though,
but warm enough without fingers touching.
But as the wind blew,
you disappeared as suddenly as you flickered.
Every now and then, I spark a light on a candle
and blow it with my lips,
just to see how fast our love started
and then
ended.
