Do people really care

They may love me
They may protect me
They may feed me
They may cloth me

But

Do they know me
Do they understand me
Do they want me
Do they want to help me

So I ask again

Do people really care

me and you.

vs. everyone
vs. problems
vs. simple mishaps
vs. endless possibilities

me and you vs. the world

but the world was against us
we did not stand a chance.
ended up in total disaster.
funny, how the story changed

me vs. you

who wins?

The other day
we strung up fairy lights for New Year's,
popped prosecco because we're too cheap for champagne,
kissed under confetti with glitter on our lips.

It's been grey since then,
the after party is never as good as the real thing.

Fat bride Jenny,
Went to see Dr.Benny,
Had gas and constipation,
Could not eat her favourite venison.
The nurse asked her to get up on the scale,
The scale gave a yell,
The scale huffed and puffed,
The nurse in fear trembled and coughed,
The scale cried,
"We need your weight,fat bride,
Not Your Mobile number,
Get down, don't mount me ever."

Waking,
The peaceful yet painful silence,

Breaking,
The shattered past,

Cast the mind to the broken surf,

The peaceful yet painful silence,
The accursed slumber,

The waking dreams realized,
Yet intangible,
The ineffable plot,

Waking,
Eyes ***** upon the ceiling,
The turbid lullaby resound,

The haunting end ever present dichotomy,
The peaceful yet painful slumber,
The forlorn cure,
My inescapable truth.

lets take your car
and pack our bags
put everything we said we’d never need
in the pockets of our longing
lets just take off
and go somewhere far away from these crowded streets and sour mouths
start up your car
and speed down the highway that started it all
and drive so fast that it feels like we could fly
and roll down all the windows as i feel the wind on my fingertips
like i have the world in my hands yet again
like i can do whatever i want, like i am not  bound to this town to this city to this state
like i can race past oblivion, like i can grow wings and fly straight to the heaven you gave to me wrapped in a silver box
lets just go
lets kiss this city goodbye with lipstick and tears
baby
lets just run away
