I keep dreaming of flashbacks
That reminisce about the future
I keep looking ahead
At days already long lived ago
I keep seeing your face when my eyes close
A face I'm yet to meet
I keep fighting each day
When the war has already been lost

What's wrong with me?
Naeem May 2020
There's this question that's been bugging me
And it keeps playing on repeat
Every second of the day
Every night I lay awake
Every dream I pretend I dont remember
All so I don't have to admit
That I still think of you
Even when I don't want to
Every tear dedicated to you
Every beat my heart skips
As my memories slowly fade
And I forget who we were
Maybe I could have saved us
But then I think
Who am to you
Deep down I still love you

All she wanted was the embrace
Of an affectionate other
Anybody that was willing for the chase
To never again suffer
She waited for the day
When the sunset filled the background
Just for somebody to stay
That special heart pound
She died with a letter
Addressed to her lover
Who thought she deserved better
So he didn't bother
You are enough!
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.
