They all come and promise they'll never leave
We believe they'll stay, and ultimately grieve
they all claim steel of their affection can be trusted
*We only regret having believed them after its rusted
I used to say,
"Sorry, I'm not enough."
Now I say,
"Sorry, I'm too much."
If poems were ***
then,I wouldn't be a ******
i would caress the letters
fix a foreplay with title
i would literally **** the words
to give birth to soulful sentences
if poems were ***
I wouldn't be ******,still.
Its a bit different idea to show my love for poems. If there wasn't poem then where would my feelings disappear,I wonder !

If I ever understood what home meant,
  then she is the person who planted
                                      the definition in my head,
                                          who carved it in my heart,
                                          who waters it
                                              so it grows and never dies
                                          who built a cover for it
                                              so it doesn't fly or fade away,
                                          who made a lock for it
                                              so it won't escape,
                                          who made a key for it
                                              so she can visit it whenever she wants
                                  and who keeps it safe,
                                              and that if she herself
                                                      is not my home.

The same shadow you carried with you
is still wearing me.
The light is on, dispatching a dim warmth,
to keep ghosts away.
And the ink on the paper isn't dry yet.

The same aura you left me with
is still roaming in the air.
My bed is made, the red blanket is on it,
so are the two black cushions.
And the dust is covering all of them.

The same song you found me dead to
is still playing on repeat.
I left the keys to my room on the second shelf
next to my broken mug.
And the door doesn't have a lock anyways.

The same stench you made out of me
is still infiltrating our memories.
The pictures that hang on my walls
are fatigue and ashen.
And your face is turning into a blur.
On the verge of self disgrace
I just can't wait to leave this place
Even if it's just mere weeks
This town won't hold the things I seek
I want to be a better me
To write my new reality
And though it brings anxiety
I'll shed my skin, the inside you'll see
Independent financially,
A soul unchained that must go free
I'm dripping with vitality
I urge on, accepting brutality
I finally found my inspiration
Confident, full of motivation
With determination, through and through
I will move forward, bold and true.
