Naeem May 2020
Asleep in a vibrant environment
Colorblind in a restless world
Still in the company of emotions
Flying in a city that's frozen
Dying slow
In a world that never stops
Continues to love
In a world that could never appreciate
The no strings attached purity
Of a heart burdened
By loving more than it gets loved
Naeem May 2020
It is said to be easy to love when you've never been hurt
felt the flames or been burnt
All the lessons I have know learnt
used to be a fledgeling celebrating his first chirp
Now soaring high above the clouds
Replicating Icarus in his pursuit
Unknown to the little bird
That the higher you go
the quicker your wings start to burn
He will soon realise the error of his ways
but I fear it will be too late.
for all you young lovers out there.
Naeem May 2020
To stop trying
Is to finally give up
For the pain of another heartbreak
Looms above the hope
Of brighter days
Laughter filling the air
Love on the line
The worlds a better place
When you have someone to love
At the end of it all
So never stop trying
Love is always worth the risk
And every heartbreak
Will just be another step
On the ladder to redemption
On your way up to heaven
Naeem May 2020
It's easier for society
To accept the image of a broke person
Than to allow that imagine to change
They will only ever see you at your worst
Until you show them your best
Society won't give you room to grow
So you have to make your own way
To hold on to a memory of someone
Will always be easier
Than trying to make new memories
With someone else
Because our experiences teaches us
To never get too attached
For the last person left
So we hold on to the past
In hope it changes our future
We stop changing
And hope to become someone else
We stop growing
And hope we never lose again
Naeem May 2020
Governed by the demons
That call my every move
Tipping the bottle
Downing the last pill
Sinking into the water
Eyes glazed over
The shadows creeping closer
I close my eyes
Awake in my bed I lay
Dried tears across my face
I scream out in anger
And try to dream of that night
Again
Just a thought
Naeem May 2020
The sky a little less blue
My frown a little more upside down
The rainbow missing a few colors
My heart adding a few beats
The little chirps ever so softer
Even the birds were sad
The day I got my heart broken
A moment of silence
A prayer goes out
I said one with my name
Because the only one I lost was myself
Chasing after butterflies
Colors that were blind to my eye
Just a little something different
Naeem May 2020
The morning after,
the darkest of days
Bring the bluest of skies, filled with disaster
With ripples that start a new phase.
The dust finally disappearing
and the wind whistling
upon the green hills a clearing
and the hunters whittling.
A new world arises.
Thrones itself on the ashes,
looking down on us, despises.
Dreams built on flashes.
So comes the morning after
Skies filled disaster.
