We wrote about the way we love
And the little things that happened in between
But what we have failed to realize
Is that
We were all slowly writing
Towards
**An ending

we often take for granted
of many things we have at present
it won't be until we actually lose it all
do we appreciate all that had happened

Dips of sweet chocolate
Like sugary words said so much
The start of the sketch
With you in my heart

Dip by dip
Stroke by stroke
A clear heart written on the plate
With the remains of the chocolate fondue
**As I think of you

Chatters under shimmering chandeliers
The females all made up beautifully
The males dressed to a tee
Wine glasses clinking gently

Her wavy hair flowed
Framing her face nicely
Her lips with a gentle tint of pink
Her hazel eyes scanning the scene nervously

Everyone complimented her rare femininity
Often not seen on usual days
People said
Behind those casual boyish clothes
Hid such a tender beauty

She smiled thankfully
However, unable to focus
For she was waiting to see
The one she dressed up for so zealously

There he was...
Decked in a handsome suit
His tie so neat
His hair styled the way she loved it
The smile he wore on his face
Ever more charming

Her heels clicked carefully
As she walked closer to him
Her heart raced
As the music played a slow melody...


*She saw his hand, reaching out
But it wasn't for her...
It was for another...
The girl he dances with, every day
No matter what

As the dance started
The chandelier lights dimmed
Like her heart
And she left the ballroom
Never turning back

Speak your mind
If you must
We will listen
In us, you can trust

Share your secrets
It will be safe with us
It's alright
Let your tears fall down

Please

*It's menacing
It's mean
It's poisonous and crazy
But I mean it this time

I'll keep myself behind bars
Protected within my own walls...

your eyes were red
blood shot
you looked at me
but all I could do was panic

you shut your eyes
continued your rest
but blood shot remained in my mind
and all I could do was worry

A heart
That needs a break
But the harsh truth is
That it just somehow
Keeps
getting
**broken

Today
The fight seemed stronger
Like every other day
It happens

Today
The war seemed more chaotic
Like every other week
The explosions strengthen

Today
My heart misses you a little more
Like every other hour

*Can I say something?
I miss you so much

The stars were gentle...

But they screamed out to me
The tales of fate and destiny

They sang the songs of flaming promises
To remind me
To touch my heart and feel

To remember
The healing touch of the moon
And the warmth of the sun

To live with no regrets
To love with all my heart
To smile like there is no tomorrow.

It's a bright morning
That greets his day
He looks out the window
And watches the radiant sun

He admires it
Attracted to her glorious shine
Blinded in all effects
Yet still unable to pull away

The heat burns his skin
But he loves it
Being in the sun
It makes him happy

The sun goes down
Bidding her farewell
Leaving him solemn
Broken and shattered

The moon comes up
Greeting him with a soothing embrace
Peaceful and gentle
A light that guides him in darkness

She brings a cooling breeze
To comfort his painful nights
Even if she would be clouded
By grey clouds at times

She watches over him
Like a guardian angel
Singing a soft lullaby
To send him into a slumber

Morning came
It starts all over again
The burning sun in the spotlight
The gentle moon awaits her turn

And she will always wait for the moment
When he enjoys the night more than day
Then she will never be overshadowed
She will take her very own...
...center stage.

Various conflicts
Under similar pain
The wrenching in the heart
Unable to explain

Gazes of understanding
Wordless dialogues
Taking nothing for granted
A mind filled with complicated thoughts

Watery hues
Breathless chokes
Tonight, my dear
*I'll still hold you close

Unexpected warmth
So lost yet so found
Will you join me in my cloudy paradise?
Just for a while...
It won't take long.

Unlock that door
Bring your heavy feet in
Call out my name
"Baby, I'm home."

You will find me in our bedroom
Geeky glasses, fingers busy with a game
I will look up at you, softly
As you let out a yawn
"Long day?"

Shutting off my device
Arms open wide
You fall into my arms
With clothes crinkled from your day's work
But your scent still so attractive
"Yeah... It was bad and I'm exhausted..."

Cuddle you close
Kisses on your forehead
You pull me in closer, gripping tighter
*"Goodnight, my love."

The bell at the door went off
As she entered the cafe
The music that was playing
Was a gentle classic

She waited in line
But there seemed to be a problem at the counter
She watched
As the man scratched his head in panic and embarrassment

"Is everything okay?" she asked
So there was a language barrier
She helped in the translation between two
And he offered her a treat as gratitude

The bell at the door went off*
Countless times through the day
While they sat there in conversation
And multiple cups of coffee
Like they just have too much to say

Take my flight away from me
Remove the pride I own
Sell it to the world you've concluded
To be a reality I need to know

Persuasion into a kind of love
Trying to build a bond
Then take it away from me again
And closing up my doors

Take my traits away from me
I'll like to see you try
Because till the end of time
I know what will remain mine

Seal up my doors
That was opened for you
Seal it good
Don't let me through

Because I'm locking myself up
Safe and sound
In my own little world
Without you around

I will never speak again
Even if I do
It will only be the things you want to hear
To fulfil your *contradictory

Touch me with your warm fingers
Every inch of my skin
Fire up my body
Aflame my being

Your lips to my neck
Nibbles and kisses
Taste it gently
Or aggressively
You know I'm craving for it

Beaten to a pulp
Under the blazing sun
Then the twilight brings
A different melody
To soothe the burns
We are bent, not broken
The moon hums a tune
Cradling the quiet crooked souls...

You're lazy
She only needed some rest
You're untidy*
The slight mess gives him comfort
You're clingy
She only needed some love
You're bossy
He only wanted to take control for once
I don't like how you ask so many questions
She doesn't want to misunderstand you
I don't like how you talk so loud
He wants you to hear him
You're selfish
She has never stopped caring, give her a break
You don't care
What did I say before?

Curse her with flaws
Hatred swallows him whole
When will they be truly appreciated?
They will never know

When will you stop judging?
You killed him on the inside
Tears flooded their veins
Start clearing your plain sight

Demons are for real
They are not fantasies
They sleep under our beds
And haunts us every night in our sleep

Your curses feeds them
Your unnecessary comments keeps them alive
You don't know them at all
For you aren't the ones living on the edge

.... **with all these lies.

Take a step forward
Hold my hand
Interlacing fingers
Glances of sparks

Pull me close
Hold me in your arms
One foot at a time
Flow with this melody in us

Take the lead
Satisfy the rhythm
Gazes interlock now
Inseparable touch

Matching choreography
Synchronising heartbeats
Twirl me around once
So I could fall back into your embrace

Your hands in mine
Not letting go
Keep me by your side
So you don't have to feel cold

Cuddle closer
The music is still playing
For this moment
Right now
This dance
Is worth *everything

Lost, exhausted and afraid
She was enticed with the idea of dancing with devils  
But they pulled her off the ledge
And now she is in her own spotlight
Ready to dance to her own rhythm of life

Once again
An arm was extended
It was welcoming
Until I saw his face...

Majestic horns and hollow eye sockets
Bones and sharp teeth
He grinned with a certain growl
His claws pulling me in

The murderous music plays...
As I hesitate
I am frozen still
It was just him and me...
In the darkest ballroom

*And I am
Once again
Being enticed
To dance with the devil

Constant chaos in a single mind
Massive noises and disordered voices
Cloudy, dark, misty thoughts
Filled into a weakened being

Screams of tension
Shouts for help
Listen to their breaths
Feed them profusely with negativity
Hear their every...
SCREAM
SHOUT
ESCALATION
AMPLIFICATION
AMPLIFY..
US!

Just then
He held her close
Whispered softly
Gently...
Carefully...
And she breathed with ease..

*For his love roared louder than her demons

the droplets hit on the glass windows**
the rain played our favourite melody
my fingers danced on the keyboard
my heart writing a story

the droplets hit on the glass windows
the rain performing our symphony
your pencil sketching on papers
your lips singing a tune

the droplets hit on the glass windows
the rain accompanying our dance
my lips on your neck
your fingers running down my back

the droplets hit on the glass windows
the rain sending a comforting chill
my skin cuddled close to yours
your heart racing against mine

suddenly the room went silent
pitch black darkness
but his heartbeat echoed
her eyes started to sparkle
that was when...
...they found each other

She scoffed at the words
That appeared on the screen
How it was ridiculous
That people were not allowed to love another being

"It's about two people who weren't meant to fall in love, but did."
He whispered

She froze
And turned
To see him staring right at her
The look in his eyes
Soft and sweet
Like he was tearing
Yet did not want her to see

"So... who is your equal?"
He asked
Before giving her a little kiss

And she smiled, gladly receiving it
With a mutual understanding

Their laughters drowned their thoughts
As their minds played images of awful pain
They lived in that moment though
For that allowed them to survive each day

your hand to hold
and your kiss I miss
your hugs my shield
your love my everything

It was the motion in the void
The soothing silence in still air
The excitement in a solitude
The party in zombie town...

....when you existed in my life

As the theme park gate opens
Sounds of excitement filled the compound
Little children, teenagers, grown ups
Crowding the lines to rides and snack bars

Joyful chatters
Nonstop laughters
Screams of thrill
Cheeky giggles

I go in circles to bring joy
Especially when I stop for the ones at the highest point
The smiles on their faces
Feeling like they are on the top of the world

Yet...

A lone stranger wanders around
Climbed into one of the pods
Locked himself in there
His eyes watching the scenery blankly

Tears started rolling down his cheeks
Meekly, gently, discreetly
But I see it
I feel the droplets
As it drips almost too carefully..

I felt his pain
The sadness within
So maybe...
Just maybe...
The peak would comfort him
It will give the best view
I'll provide it

But...

The round will have to end
I'll have to bring him back down to the ground
And he will have to return home

Please...
Can we go for another round?
Just one more...
So I could show him that view that I can provide
Just one more time...
Even if his tears would rust me
Or even if it means he still has to leave
At least I know
And I'll remember

*I've made him happy

Found a gem
In the deep blue ocean
Took it home with me
Fell in love
With its ruby red charm

Bonded it to a string
Wore it for a necklace
Had it close to my heart
Feeling it's icy cold texture
Sometimes...
It's gentle flames of warmth

Under a starry night sky
A hot coffee in my hand
A cooling breeze accompanies me
Clutching it tight
Always admiring its beauty

Got a phone call one day
Removed it from my neck
Held it in my hand
Driving down lanes
To another place

Handed it over
My heart sank
What I've realised was that
It was never mine
And people told me lies

*Finders aren't always keepers
