Edren Marie: Poems

8/23

8/23

Back then,
I was so sure of my life.

I was so sure of what will happen that I forgot to create back-up plans, of having plan B’s in life.

So sure that in five years time, I planned of settling down with my tiny family in our tiny home with my stable carreer.

Yet, everything drastically changed and I am left at a crossroad.

I was not prepared.

I even do not know what I was feeling.

I Know

Edren Marie Aug 2014

I Know

I know you would lie
if somebody would ask
I know you would quit
if somebody would win
I know you would stop
if somebody would chase

But
I'll leave and disappear
because I know
that somebody is me.

Night

Edren Marie Aug 2014

Night

Birds are flying
Fishes are swimming
And I'm here lying
Patiently waiting
For you to come
And save me from grieving

Our bodies intertwined
Our sweat dripping
Reaching ****** -
The peak of our happiness

You ask me for another
And told me to savor
because soon it will be over
But you leave me wanting more

The bed remembers
what my mind wants to forget
The pillows still have the scent
what my nose wishes to smell

But now,
Birds are flying
Fishes are swimming
And I'm here lying
Patiently waiting
For Sleep to come
And bring me back
to the memories of the night
I'll never forget.

Once

Edren Marie Aug 2014

Once

His eyes
that once cried for me
His lips
that once kissed me
His hands
that once held me
His arms
that once embraced me

His stare
that once melted me
His smile
that once made my day
His love
that once made me whole.

Once. Only Once.
The sad reality of how -
His death
that once changed my life.
Once. **FOREVER

Should I...

Edren Marie Aug 2014

Should I...

Be happy -
knowing that you're hurt?
Be amazed -
on how unfair life is to you?
Be sad -
believing you deserve it?

Be feeling empty -
knowing that for one day,
just one day,
you'd made me feel all these.

The Singer and I

Edren Marie Aug 2014

The Singer and I

Whenever the singer is sad
He sings with his mouth shut
Whenever the singer is happy
He sings his heart out

The song he's singing
And the song I'm listening
Is carved in our heart
- our piece of art

Together, we sing
to the rhythm of love
The Singer and I - together, we love.

I wonder if
every single day
I crossed your mind
as much as you do
on mine.

I wonder if
every single tear
that your eyes cried
was for me.

I wonder,
*I wonder.
