THE LAST PIECE OF Us
itsmutheu Mar 2017
(pin drop silence)

There's two of us,
Echoes of imaginary sounds,
Echoes of silence,
Secrets along with lies,
Hearths warmed as the light succumbed to darkness,
Saw nothing but your shadow,
You chose my soul for my heart and opted to keep me as 'your secret string attached to your soul' ,
Yet ,'I love you', you'd say
Easy for you to say, all that seemed to be deliberateness though you said it wasn't deliberate, but that fractured my heart, just so you know,

Day after day,
Step away, after another step away,
Lie after lie,
We we're  falling,
Drifting apart,
Fed me with deceptional beautiful lies,
Perfection though not a friend,
You we're too imperfect,

Tired of playing pretend,
Hidden expectations,
The struggle of being right or wrong, not so sure what it was,
Lovestruck I once was,
The far we'd come was the end, or so it seemed,
Road to ruins,
You went on one knee,
And I said what you expected me to say or not,
But certainly what karma expected me to say,
And now forever you'd be, the scar never to be erased,
No! it was,
We had drifted too apart,
Beyond saving,
Not even a ring would,
Walking away would,
We stumbled and we fell and broke what was remaining of us to ever rise again,
We had scattered into too many pieces...
We bend and this time we broke......

Your are the smallest circle I've ever had,
The way we cope; never hard,
An amazing bond it is....
Just how we snuggle during insomniac nights, (literally every night)
And laugh while we dance in the dark,
How you have my back,
And how we stare at each other in the mirror,
You are,
You are the person within me,
Yes you are me!
And I love you to death!

Live
itsmutheu Jun 2021
From deep within I live,
With everyday life,
I am like a hive,
Abundance is what I crave,
Every single ocean I dive,
Never meant to survive,
Yet I always do,
From the surface above, I shall forever live.

Never The Same Dance Twice
itsmutheu Jul 2017
Up above the clouds,
Is the Delta-shaped Mardi Gras
I slow dance to the songs of my demons,
This time; it's a solo dance,
I broadcast every tune,
It's your call to sway or not. . . .
If at all you'd agree to dance to my tormented melodies.  . .

PAIN
itsmutheu Sep 2016
Words unsaid,
Tales untold,
Infinite sadness and pain may endure,
Though I'm not fine,
I'll come to terms with it,
I won't let my demons drown me,
I'll wake up, everyday,
Put a smile to my face,
Ready for a new day ,
Seeing beauty in everything,
My bruises,
My troubles,
My scars,
Even beauty through my pain,
Every pain is a lesson learnt,
Every painful encounter is an untraveled road, travelled!

— The End —
