Half of me yearns to forget your name
Memory that burns like an ember
The other half is stubborn
Determined to remember
The decision between what you know and what you feel is the hardest you will ever face. I chose my head and it led me right to my hearts true desires. And now I am happy and feel like I made the right choice.

You told me somewhere out there
Is my other half
Even though you were the one I loved
Yeah you lied, left me in despair
Now my heart is beyond repair
Not a day goes by I don’t think about how
I should have made more moves with you
Regretting all these things,
that is what I’m used to
All I wanted was for you to be mine
But that’s not what life had in mind

You told me that I’d find the one
Yeah you lied, you were wrong
I’m never gonna find anyone
You told me I’d find love
You told me one day a girl
Would give me her all
Should have known better
Fell for those lines before
Yeah you lied
Left me shattered across the floor
I don’t even care about feeling anymore

I’m sick and sore
Bodies aching
Suppressed my cravings
Every time I gazed upon you
You were ****** desire
Deep within the flames burn higher
Extinguished my lust
With your words
Left me feeling broken and hurt
Rejection left me depressed
And I couldn’t find a vibe
To breathe in new life
My wires were cut
Left for dead
A rusting tin man

You told me that I’d find the one
Yeah you lied, you were wrong
I’m never gonna find anyone
You told me I’d find love
You told me one day a girl
Would give me her all
Should have known better
Fell for those lines before
Yeah you lied
Left me shattered across the floor
I don’t even care about feeling anymore

All I wanted was to find a future with us
It seems you had other ideas and gave up
All I got left was a box of empty promises
A whole lot of lessons
I wish I didn’t have to learn
I’m laying in the dark
Images play upon the roof
In all the ways that I remember you
The taste of your kiss
The feel of your lips
Tracing the lines in your hands
Playing with every strand of your hair
Every touch placed upon your body
I remember every breath you took
I remember all the ways
You left me shook

You told me that I’d find the one
Yeah you lied, you were wrong
I’m never gonna find anyone
You told me I’d find love
You told me one day a girl
Would give me her all
Should have known better
Fell for those lines before
Yeah you lied
Left me shattered across the floor
I don’t even care about feeling anymore

hello, old friend,
it's been a while.
i forgot what it was like
to see you smile.
like the Heavens opened up
and stardust rained down,
my luck of finding you...
i don't know how.
you grab my waist and pull me in,
your lips touch mine
through the obsidian wind.
hello, old friend,
i've missed you some,
your eyes help melt away
some of the numb.
which is funny, i know,
since they're glaciers themselves.
but they've melted my heart
since the time we were twelve.
but, old friend,
not much has changed? every strike of the clock
you take my breath away...
the key to my lock.
a feat not easy,
when my aura is as dark as it is.
i long for the day
i will again taste your lips.
hello, old friend,
it's been a while.
thanks for reminding me
what it's like to smile.
<3

भरोसे लायक नही है ये पत्थर दिल इंसान,
जो चंद मिनटों में ही खो देता अपना ईमान,
मिट्टी से बना है,मिट्टी में ही मिल जाएगा एक दिन,
फिर भी नजाने क्यों करता अपने इस शरीर पे गुमान,

सबको पता है ना कुछ साथ आया था और नाही कुछ साथ जाएगा,
कुछ अच्छे कर्म भी कर लो अपने जीवन मे क्योंकि वही तुम्हें स्वर्ग पहुचायेगा,
जीवन-मरण तो खेल है ज़िन्दगी का,
अभी नही किया तो मरने के बाद पछतायेगा,

दिखावे की मीठी वाणी इन लब्जो पे तान,
किसी को अपने लब्जो से मत मार,
बहुत मुश्किल होता है खड़ा होने में,
जब ख़ुद से हार जाता है इंसान....
जब खुद से हार जाता है इंसान।

बहुत बुरे है हम,
शायद इसलिए अबतक अधूरे है हम,
ऐ ख़ुदा मुझे माफ़ कर देना,
क्योंकि किसी का दिल तोड़े है हम,

बहुत बुरे हैं हम,
ख़ुद की नज़रों में ही गिरे है हम,
जो बाग कभी पत्तों से घिरे थे,
उन्ही पत्तो की तरह आज खुद बिखरे पड़े है हम,

बहुत बुरे है हम,
उनकी मंज़िल के रोड़े हैे हम,
कभी उनकी साथ को इस कलम से सजाते थे,
आज ख़ुद एक बंद किताब पड़े है हम,

Micrography-Mike D


I am a fractured soul
A broken man
Fragmented
and destroyed
into tiny pieces

Left with sharp edges,
misshaped parts
and empty spaces

A jigsaw puzzle
I continuously work
A never ending project
attempting to reassemble

But like a shattered vase
glued back together,
it's not quite the same
What was pristine and beautiful
is now just something I resemble

Rebel Heart
If you ripped my heart out
Right from inside my chest
You'd wonder as I often do
How a something so shattered and empty
Could feel so heavy.
(Another snippet from the Lyric/Quote Wall.. surprisingly haven't come across the full version of this poem yet but I'm starting to go through another journal document of old work from RH who knows what I'll find.. Happy Writing~BM)
