The endless pondering of Fridays,
Spills into the late night.
Precious time lost,
Losing light.

While the city is in love,
People on the street corners,
Friends, lovers and everything in between.
Here I am on my work week,
Waiting for the 8th day.

Stay with me but no,
Things I wish were said comes back to me.
A burst of tears and laughter,
Trying to douse the loud sirens in my head.

Lost on me,
Todays society.
Unending conversations,
Quotes and notations,
A web of scattered nullity,
Clouds all over my senses.

Here lies.

Something less than desirable.
The face of truth is ugly.
Uniqueness is dead.

Never desire a thing above.
Such a sin don't you dare.
Just unworthy of anything.

A 19 year old curse.
Going for a lifetime.
All thats left to decide,
A rope or a blade.

The path is getting blurry,
My words are slurry.

Lazarus plot imminent,
Have to be diligent.

My mind has been flayed,
My soul slayed.

Fill this void,
In my life.
Reach into my heart.
Calm me down.
Stand by me,
Until the dawn.
Stay with me,
Until the end.

The Light now diminished,
Time of day turned to dusk.
Dark days ahead,
Crying by myself.

I’ve lost my sunlight,
To the moon among the stars,
She stole that light,
That made my day bright.

All is lost but darkness,
The void in my heart.
Pitch black is the core,
Where the light doesn’t shine anymore.

I deserve the light,
For years I’ve spent in darkness.
The light that gave me life,
New horizons to look upon.

Come back to me now,
Shine on me with your golden glow.
Pull me out from here,
This dark trench in life.
It's this constant feeling of want and the recurring ignorance by the people who act they dont see it. It's stolen light that i deserve.

Last night at around 11:30,
I was sketching a future with you,
In my mind. So Colourful.
You in my dreams, so vivid.
I dreamt that we kissed,
Under the evening sun,
In a parked car on a lonely road.

Our eyes met,
My hand on yours.
There was this electricity,
In the air between us.
Bringing us closer every second.

A faint blue glow I felt it,
In your eyes that looked into mine.
The first one to.
If only time could freeze in this moment.
If only I could save it for eternity.

Hues of pink and blue dance on your face.
The way you move, such grace !
I’m intimidated by you. Your stare.
Every time I see your face,
My happiness shoots up a thousand times.
If I die in that moment I’d be smiling.
All in an instant.

I haven’t felt this way before,
Or have I wanted to !
Now all I want is you.
Would you take a leap of faith with me ?

Lord. Haven’t I suffered enough ?
These constantly refreshing images.
Why not just take my life ?
Give me a rest from this cursed life.
No, scarred life.

I don’t want to feel anymore.
I don’t want to love anymore.
I can’t love anymore.
Can’t even hate anymore.

Love is dead in my life,
Not coming back ever.
I don’t belong here, not anymore.

Take me up to heaven,
Heal my scars if you could.
Impossible right ?
