To Save a Life
Kenēn Jan 2016
How far would you go
To save a life hardly your own
Not your own beating
And certainly not your dance

Would you take a leap
A beating or two
A slap in the face
Or take a stand?

And I'm gonna tell you darling
You gotta do all those things
To save yourself
Yes, your life.

Case
Kenēn Apr 2016
I always feel that I am bound
To take the worst case scenario.
And it's funny
And sad. But it's alright.

Love after all
Kenēn Oct 2016
Love can be felt as if it's something new.
Like it wasn't the leftover from yesterday's memory.
Love, I now know, cannot grow old.
Maybe that's why it's eternal

Even in this world
Kenēn Nov 2016
You say "even in this world"
As if you've tried another
As if you've lived in one
As if you've embraced another arms

You, my darling, has been
And always will be
The center interest of my life
Even in this world.

Hate
Kenēn Apr 2016
The word hate only appeals
To those who are hated
The other knows it by heart
And they tend to share it graciously to the world.

Domestic
Kenēn Dec 2016
Which part of your morose body
Should I put in the casket?
Should I left out your hands
Which caressed my face until bruises
Formed like landmarks?

Treat love like an insomnia
Kenēn Feb 2016
For I cannot hold or follow a thought
Longer than two sentences and I'm maybe insecure
In my callousness and my immobility
Or maybe I'm just content with my gaze
Reaching yours but either way
It's just me lacking sleep
And having to much bed err bug bites.

welcomed no strangers
so when i am lost
i am lost alone

Shadow when there's none
Kenēn Apr 2016
Love
It's good for the soul
But not always safe
Then again, what is?

Running is Optional
Kenēn Apr 2016
But if you drop bombs like that
Make sure you got yourself protected.
Or have you gotten so used
To the aftermath that you rather
Liked sniffing the smoke and running
Around on the still warm ashes?

Let there be light
Kenēn Mar 2016
Darkness existed first.
