I apologize if my eyes, Tend to wander into your worlds. Penetrating the walls you’ve built, To get a sneak peek into your last nights And next years And what are you doing todays. I apologize, If my ears air-waved into your waving dictions, Dropping tones, Dimming voices, Dictating the peace you want yourself to attain Through the side conversations And the cocktail effects Attending, to what you’re not aware of. And I wasn’t aware that you are going to treat me that way; I gave you my heart over dinner Last night; under the table your family was sitting on- As we put on our decorous smiles And threw our shy giggles; Cracking up with strong inner laughter within, Because the same Lost, upset, wild Shoot first ask later couple Are pretending to blush over “grown up” jokes Made by our fathers To test our inner surfaces; I gave you my heart over dinner last night, And that was THE last night; Because my heart and yours Stopped exercising their vividness On a Tuesday morning. They, stopped writing musicals of us, For my heart was executed And yours got shattered- Nowhere to be found; Martyred in between the lines of a political message They wrote with your blood Forgetting about mine, They carved their letters With the nymph in a black sweater; And the river that she used to own, Took her away Before anyone can see, The disfigured goddess now list in the sea Of blood-of my thoughts and reflections. My voice, Now layered into dissimilar tones; The lowest, is the one I use to constantly pray for you And the highest is for me to scream for your fallen eyes. I stand steady Against the tidal waves And write on the walls The poetry I kept inside, The walls you’ve built; The walls everyone builds And I try to penetrate To get a sneak peek Of their last night’s And next year’s And what are you doing today’s. Because my walls are destroyed My pillars are demolished My life is but a living memory of hers, And my eyes are nothing but thieves, Staring their way to steel the words From the faces in the crowd In order to write something That can get me to forget That I am mourning; That in my head plays a sad guitar, With a silent base And a lost drum beat. I apologize for writing this, For letting your eyes conquer these papers For letting your ears hear those words. I apologize for feeling the urge to apologize But that’s what I grew up on And no one can seem to get rid of their bad habits…

Hearts Don’t Exercise on a Tuesday Morning:
I apologize if my eyes, Tend to wander into your worlds. Penetrating the walls you’ve built, To get a sneak peek into your last nights And next years And what are you doing todays. I apologize, If my ears air-waved into your waving dictions, Dropping tones, Dimming voices, Dictating the peace you want yourself to attain Through the side conversations And the cocktail effects Attending, to what you’re not aware of. And I wasn’t aware that you are going to treat me that way; I gave you my heart over dinner Last night; under the table your family was sitting on- As we put on our decorous smiles And threw our shy giggles; Cracking up with strong inner laughter within, Because the same Lost, upset, wild Shoot first ask later couple Are pretending to blush over “grown up” jokes Made by our fathers To test our inner surfaces; I gave you my heart over dinner last night, And that was THE last night; Because my heart and yours Stopped exercising their vividness On a Tuesday morning. They, stopped writing musicals of us, For my heart was executed And yours got shattered- Nowhere to be found; Martyred in between the lines of a political message They wrote with your blood Forgetting about mine, They carved their letters With the nymph in a black sweater; And the river that she used to own, Took her away Before anyone can see, The disfigured goddess now list in the sea Of blood-of my thoughts and reflections. My voice, Now layered into dissimilar tones; The lowest, is the one I use to constantly pray for you And the highest is for me to scream for your fallen eyes. I stand steady Against the tidal waves And write on the walls The poetry I kept inside, The walls you’ve built; The walls everyone builds And I try to penetrate To get a sneak peek Of their last night’s And next year’s And what are you doing today’s. Because my walls are destroyed My pillars are demolished My life is but a living memory of hers, And my eyes are nothing but thieves, Staring their way to steel the words From the faces in the crowd In order to write something That can get me to forget That I am mourning; That in my head plays a sad guitar, With a silent base And a lost drum beat. I apologize for writing this, For letting your eyes conquer these papers For letting your ears hear those words. I apologize for feeling the urge to apologize But that’s what I grew up on And no one can seem to get rid of their bad habits…
Here's to the fallen martyrs of our mistakes.
