I saw scars upon her arms
I cried when I saw her scars
I promised never to hurt her
I said new ones woundnt appear

Now there are new ones
Now I have hurt her
Now I cry as the number increases
Now I see only scars upon her arms
I'm sorry I didn't mean to break your trust. I truly am sorry
Naught but mockery.

In the back of my mind,
I've always recognised why
Why all those nights,
I fought sleep,
Why all those days,
Appetite didn't come.

Didn't sleep again last night.

And I rose from bed,
reluctant as ever to return
to a heart-torturing reality.

The hot scalding shower,
wasn't hot enough.
And when it was,
I closed my eyes,
Calm reigning my soul.

I walked the streets,
Drizzle of rain splattering on my face,
It was as though everything was fine,
Yet everything wasn't.

I felt everything wrong,
But everything was right.

I, I,
I wanted to stand
in the middle of that street,
And await an incoming car.

Nothing in me protested,
Except for the mind,
the god fearing mind.

My heart was silent,
eerily calm.

I hailed a cab,
got to school like
everything was fine,
But the emotions on my face
probably couldn't lie.

All bottled up,
in a bright corner I sat,
just wanting to let it all out.

Yet again,
The heart-torturing reality interferes.

*Figured, why I never was a fan.

i hate when you don't respond
late at night and i know you're
getting much needed rest i'm
sorry for being so selfish and
needy but i don't think i've
ever been anything else

every morning i imagine waking up someplace different-
to be surrounded by the clatter of early morning traffic and blatant conversations,
and to sip coffee from my favorite mug while sitting on a kitchen counter contently breathing in adulterated air
and simply existing

i am in so much pain.

t.b.
late night ramblings
i made my way
i thought you'd come along
i just thought you could

you have your way
it's screaming in every path
i heard you say
...we had nothing to keep

you don't have to blame me..i needed a horse to lift me away...a stallion to race me to here...before i could understand the true meaning of all your uncertain language

you just didn't care..

you always left a note..showing a different way you understood us..
there was always a message..before you spoke
it's not too much,
i understand you

when you shiver amidst your tears
then squeeze in to your ribs

makes me long to kiss you
for i may fail to calm you with words

it's not too much
i understand you..

many reasons you stand mighty
few seasons you crash and fall

i don't expect it to hurt
for your crown tells me something different

it's not too much
I'll comfort you
arms for you
this doesn't sound good
when you're holding that door
saying you're letting this go
beautiful fallen
you're proud
once again

It seems that the eternal night
has covered my mind
I'll be consumed
in the morning there'll be nothing left.

All these words
left me speechless
betrayed again
I'm mad

I believed at least
they will last
that I will create something
that changes the world

I dream
