the sun's last ember light
haunting over the city
like a ghost, ending the day

both of us on that balcony
our wide and bloodshot eyes
a smile on your warm and freckled face

these memories I hold on to
these memories keep me awake
its such a shame that were all destined
to fall back down from grace
Kris Pretorius May 2020
that angel carved visage sings silent poetry
rhymes of what you and I might one day be
and under those lost verses of rhyme
i lost myself in those sunrise eyes
Kris Pretorius Apr 2020
to this day,
sometimes i cry,
or let out little sighs,

i envy those who kept their loved ones
better close than i

oh lovebird,
i’ve been a stranger to your ways
been staying up till 3 o’clock
i swear to God, it never stops
but i guess we’re no strangers to pain

our chemistry has settled down
but i swear, i’ll breathe life in it again,
just give me time

no longer will we have to stray
and dwell on all these long lost days
and nights
oh lovebird
it’ll be alright

Each scar has a tale
A story to bestow
A battle, bravely fought and won
A victory, even though

Some have too many scars to hide
And some too few to know
