What do I have to do
For you to hear me?
You ignore me
When I am quiet
You get angry
When I lash out.
So tell me,
What am I supposed to do?

How can you not see?
In your absence
I slowly wilt.
A flower without sunlight
Withers and dies.

Shadows stain the page
Mixing with the words
Keeping me company.
I see the silence
Gently blinding me.

I cannot hide
The streams from my eyes
It shows the pain
The unbearable ache
Of my deep loneliness.

Good morning.
Words often forgotten
Thoughts often overlooked
Messages often deleted
Because I thought
He said it before
And will continue to say it
Until we grow old.

But it stopped.
The phone stopped beeping
The voice stopped speaking
All I heard was silence
All I felt was sadness.
Have you forgotten?
Have I taken for granted?
Good night.

I had a dream.
You were lost.
Totally gone.
From me, forever.
It was so real.

That pain I felt?
I need no metaphors
No fancy words
Just bare love.
From me to you.

The world stopped
Everything felt numb
I couldn't cry
It was too much
I nearly died,too.

The sunlight startled me
I woke,gasping
Heart pounding
Breathing in relief
It was just a dream.

In the silence
I hear the sound of nothing
I see the invisible things

The blank moments
The loud static
The weird buzzing

The dark corners
The empty space
The cold sheets

In your absence
I entered a vacuum
Inhabiting an endless void

Lost in thought
Love starts to crumble
Leaving me alone

Eventually,someday.
Tomorrow,yesterday.
I will never be ready
For my heart to be broken again.

I close my eyes
And try to visualize.
The cracks and crevices
The ravines appearing on the surface.

Flesh turns to stone
Stone turns to dust
Red flood pouring forth
Blackened until no more.

Undeniably drowning
In a sea of pain
The gashes on my heart
Are worse than the ones on my wrists.

The lights dim out
I claw desperately
Fighting the darkness
Its dark laughter echoing in my ears.

I open my eyes
Vacantly, I stare.
Please, do not leave
For what existed becomes nothingness.

Some people in power
Get a *****
When they realize
That people sympathize
With their false heartache
That is easy to make

People are seduced
For they haven't deduced
That tears are false
And politicians don't have *****.
They accept it readily
Thinking that it is remedy.

Politics is a one-night stand
Where people make their brand
They whisper sweet lies
And flutter their pretty eyes.
They tell you they love you
If only it were true.

They strip themselves naked
As if they haven't belied
Saying they are worthy
But their lies are so faulty.
Politicians are so fake
They should burn in the fiery lake.

I keep a little secret.
Hush!
Let nobody know.
I repeat.
Nobody.
So here it is.
Don't look at me strangely
After you hear this.

The dreams that come
In hues of violent red
Exquisitely painful
For only in dreams
Do these exist.

Thinking about it
Makes my heart pound
Harder and harder
Faster and faster
In a whirlwind of ecstasy
The darkness swallows me.

I must be silent
For these thoughts
Must not be told.
Only in mind
Do these pleasures exist.
Oh, fantasy
You are my reality.

Sadness comes.
It swoops down.
Its beady eyes focus,
Seeing a prey,
It lunges.

My poor soul.
Battered by life
And its unrelenting blows.
Vulnerable.

Sadness comes.
It tears the happiness,
Piece by piece
From my very bones.

Pain.
Sadness left me empty.
A gaping hole
Where my heart used to be.

Flying.
Sadness left,
Stole my happiness.
Ate it all.

Clinging on to non-existent hope,
You delude yourself.
Thinking that there's still hope,
That everything will turn out to be fine.
But in one way or another,
Reality will catch up with you.
And then you'll have to face,
The unwanted miseries
That a broken heart
inflicts upon you.

I've tried speaking,
But nothing's coming.
What should I do
Voiceless,it is true.

I am on this stage,
As if I am some sage.
But I know that I'm not
And it hurts a lot.

Is that laughter I hear?
A sneer and a jeer?
Perhaps,I look ridiculous
And I'm not that fabulous.

I don't know what to say
Speechless,I am today.
I try and try,
Until,I think,I'll die.

I look you in the eye.
Believe me,I can hear you sigh.
I know that you don't get me.
I know that you don't see.

Maybe,I shouldn't speak.
Maybe,you think I'm a freak.
I must stop talking now
Perhaps,I should take a bow.

I've tried speaking,
But nothing's coming.
What should I do
Voiceless,it is true.

Pain, so much pain
Heart, incompletely broken
Blood, red and violent
Tears, world turned black
Wall, slumped in a heap
Hands, clutching stray hair
Feet, violently shaking
Eyes, squeezed tightly shut.

I got up.
I touched the air.
I felt nothingness.
Into the light,
I blindly walked.
