we do knot
fallacies May 2018
we were two ends of a single thread
got tangled as we intertwined
a knot was tied between us
as our hearts combined

as we continue to entwine together
the knot gets bigger and bigger
which made it even harder
to let go of each other

but we both know
neither of us wanted to do so

the drug in me is you
fallacies May 2018
you were a drug that swam into my blood stream
every dose of you i took in and absorbed willingly
i was addicted
day and night i let you in
i got used to you

you were a drug that took over me, over my body
but I liked it and I embraced you with open arms
i was tempted
day and night i gave in
you let me get used to you

you were a drug that i never stopped taking
but now it's you who stopped coming
not knowing what to do at all
how does someone
cope up with
withdrawal
but i never had any regret taking you in
and if i could
i'd take you over and over again

your tears, that you
kept inside, for all

who am i?

~
i am not a dancer
but i can make words
dance at the tip of your tongue

i am not a singer
but i can make words
sing to the beat of your heart

i am not a painter
but i can make words
paint a scene from your dreams

i am just a mere writer
but i can make words
write their own stories
paint their own pictures
sing their own songs
and dance their own way

sorry
fallacies May 2018
guilt filled guts
and gut filled feelings
it was something
i was not proud doing
and i am tired of just
hiding and pretending
that i made no mistake
but i did,
and it's heartbreaking
now i don't want to make
the same mistake again
i'm not saying
i'd forget the past
instead, i'm saying
i'd learn from them

if you were a book
fallacies May 2018
~
i thought a biography would fit you
where I'd be able to read
the story of your life
for each passing day

but I guess you're more of a dictionary
full of words and meanings
some of which, I may not know
but if i sought to look inside you
you'd show me anyway

i just need to know
what to find and
where to look

cross fire
fallacies May 2018
we were in cross fire
of words unsaid
words we kept
from one another
words we'd just slept
through the night

we were in cross fire
but we only hurt
for each word unspoken
each chance not taken
we just stopped trying
then we'd both lose sight

because we were in the cross fire
of keeping words within us
we forgot we were allies
who should protect
and save each other
in the end, we'd both
just lose the fight

just
fallacies May 2018
I'd give up my ears
just to hear from you again
even only just a single word

I'd give up my eyes
just to get a glimpse of you
even for just a mere second

I'd give up my hands
just to grasp yours
even for just a minute

And I'd give up my heart
just to fix yours
even if it kills me

our love was a candle

so we'll feel the warmth
of love all over again

i want to create

i can't find the words
it just can't be done

is it because
you're not
inspiring enough?

but it was then
when i realized

how could i possibly create
a poem inspired by you

when you inspire me more
to be with you.

Doubt,
fallacies Apr 2018
You were there for me, when I was alone,
with my thoughts that I can't bear to own.
When no one was there to listen to my words,
but still you gave me uneasiness, how absurd?

But you do know that you were always my biggest enemy,
when we're together others can feel you, more so- me.
Even if I do nothing, you're just as scary
as falling in darkness, falling endlessly.

Though you never left my side, even for a brief moment;
you never gave me air to breathe; i guess you never will.
And even then, I used to ask myself one question,
'Why am I still not used to your possession?'

Your obsession over me, made it harder for you to leave
or was it my obsession over you, that made you stay?
That even though I hated you, I hated the feelings you weave;
you loved hurting me, you loved seeing me break away.

Now that I have lost you, and I have found her
I want to say thank you for the times that you were there,
But now that she is the one, who holds my heart tightly
Doubt, I know you loved me, but it's now her- who I love dearly.

Request
fallacies Jan 2018
I asked you for a second,
you gave me a minute of silence;
and with each passing tick of the clock,
my heart gets used to the violence

I asked you for a day,
you gave me a week of darkness;
and with each passing day and night,
my heart gets used to the emptiness

I asked you for a month,
you gave me a year of slumber;
and with each and every passing season,
my heart gets used to the fire.

If I asked you for a century;
will you give me a lifetime of misery?
Or with each passing millennia;
you'll let my heart, get used to the dementia.

The Heart
fallacies Jan 2018
I can try and distract myself from this sinking feeling,
but that also means that I will stop my heart from beating.
Which, come to think of it, is not that bad of an idea;
I was dead anyways, as soon as you walked out of my area.

Now what would be, the most beautiful funeral setting?
For a heart that once loved, once cared, but now dying.
Leaving its final beats, to someone who is worth loving;
as for reciprocation? This heart was not given anything.

This heart wants something, that only you can provide,
But alas! There are things that aren't meant to be given.
Love is a beautiful thing, that everyone will feel inside;
however, love is not forced, and will never play even.

Unfair as it may seem to anyone, who has loved before;
but are unable to receive the feeling back to their core.
That's the unspoken truth about loving someone wholly;
sometimes you win them, most times you end up lonely.

And even though you've been broken, countless of times,
you will keep coming back; hoping for the day that you will,
be able to find the right mix of words, the right mix of rhymes;
to have someone to love you, and make your world stand still.

— The End —
