Just because I am

broken and shattered

doesn't mean anyone

can pick me up

and carry me away.

I am still alive

I am still me

Just let me be.
Damian 7d
You don't have to repay
You don't have to give back
Let me stay by your side
Let me be kind touch
Let me hear your mind
Know me and learn
My love doesn't deal, trade or demand
I show you my cards, I offer my heart
Love is not transactional
alia 7d
1.   A bruise on my palm from holding on too tightly
2.   The sound of glass humming when the train passes
3.   A laugh I didn’t mean to escape
4.   Your name, written backwards, because I didn’t want anyone to
       read it but me
5.   A moth dying quietly against the lamp
6.   The taste of rain and metal
7.   The question I still haven’t asked
8.   That strange feeling that the streetlight is watching me
9.   A heartbeat that doesn’t know where to belong tonight
Is more than a city
It is a feeling
It is a place one goes to feel magic
A place that touches ones heart and never leaves
A place to go and touch history
and a place to marvel at all that is there
A place that dances like a gentle muse
Whether one fancies monuments like the Eiffel Tower or just a quiet walk down a street
Or sitting by the Seine
It is all special and sublime
But perhaps the most special thing  is to be there when it rains
To watch the people moving to and fro while the rain gently washes the city while sipping a cup of coffee in a local cafe
That’s Paris
Forgot I was driving, lost inside the flow,
Rain blurs the glass, lights painting below.
At the red, yellow, green — a pulse of panic,
Everyone’s moving straight, part of traffic.

But straight ahead I drift, a part of what I know,
Eyes on the road, following where others go.
Then in a blink — caught between fear and dare,
I slip the wheel left, cutting through the air.

Heart pounding loud, beating in new ways.
No signs to guide, no one to chase.
Just an unknown road, a new path to race.
I tried forgetting what your smile did for years
Reminiscing about a past time has left me stained
More like a stomach ache, rather than tears
When I meet people now I feel emotionally restrained

I reach for something I can’t replace
Locked in a place my heart insists
Still chasing the shape of a vanished face,
I’m in love with someone who no longer exist
