Countless series of melancholic oceans
Hitting through waves of adversity
Only to be repulsed by provocations
Disjointed affections falls effortlessly

With no such contemporary feelings
Choked amongst the walls of solitary
Praying silently for a better ending
A hopeless romantic it seems evidently

Voyaging away from the sufferings
Patching holes of memories
Rekindling fire from breathing
Dreams torn away in fantasies

Sober desires creates a lustful reality
Shone away ignoring a truthful beginning
Nothing can hold us against this treachery
Forsaken our love has left me begging

Forgive me
Today
For I'm done living
Yesterday pains

Forgive me
Today
For I'm breaking
Tomorrow promises

Forgive me
Today
For I don't wish
Staying awake

Forgive me
Today
For all the memories
Forever save

Forgive me
Today
For tomorrow I might
Take my life away...

You are not defined by your fading photographs.
Your personality does not have a white frame.
You are a Polaroid *******.
For them I am strong,
For you I am weak
Today there is no fluidity.
No breathtaking analogies.
Just simple, poor, old me
And these tears that creep too easily down my cheeks.

Do you know what the hardest thing is?
Knowing with every fiber of my being
That no future passion can match
The one we had
Cradled in each other's arms
Two frail, broken souls
Two crashed and burned worlds
Irrevocably at each other's disposal.

I want that.
I want you.
More now than any other time before.

With complete awareness of your insanity
With sound believe in your cruelty
I know
When the grass withers
When stars burn out:

*You may have loved me first
But I will *always
love you last of all.

I haven't felt like writing much, lately
I haven't felt like a lot of things I used to
I haven't felt
Your heart is an empty semi-circle
Half-filled by wet sand bags
Jagged edges because I am concrete
and concrete does not leave smoothly.

Concrete cracks but cannot slip between your fingers.
She is green, you are bitter, and I am grey.

Written about Z.
One day you will understand.*

...................................................­...............

Well, I still don't understand. I don't think I will
ever understand how you can suddenly wake up one morning
and decide you don't love someone anymore.
If you knew the substance beneath, would you be intrigued or would you run?
Would you seek company or a gun?
Do you seek solitude or the sun?
Would you **** with me just for fun?
Might you get under my skin, just for a minute?
Show me the world, and say I can’t have it.
Tell me lies; hold me in your hands.
Be assertive,
I’ll follow demands.
Crush me softly,
Cure me reluctantly,
Love me oddly,
Just never let go.
Oh, never let go.
Please, don’t let go.
