i
i am
completely done
trying to be worth it,
when i am clearly
not.

i am
completely done
making you realize
that i love you,
when you clearly
don't see it.

i am
completely done
trying to be visible again,
when it's clearly impossible.

i am
completely done
with this ****** life
that i clearly deserve
for my ****** up
past decisions.

i am
completely done
trying to turn back time,
and make you come back,
you clearly won't ever
be next to me again.

and i know the reason why.
Better to remain single
than
be hooked with a devil.
Better alone and single
than
perform duet with a devil.

Version II (10w)
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
Two roads diverged in a wood and I,
I took the one most travelled by
and that has made me regret my decision.
Friend* when you pronounce me
the word takes a tongue
licks my mind vigorously
breath takes it to the lung.

How I die for that one word
and would anything spend
just to have it from a voice heard
one breath calling me friend.

Friend once from your tongue rush
pumped out from beat of heart
break the dam rivers out-gush
make me your inseparable part.

Friend once you utter tie me with a lace
tender yet not brittle like glass
remind me in love we belong to one race
break down all barriers of class.
I am undone by your
eyes
burning through my
lies.
