Goodbyes never hurt me
It's always the memories that follow
To live in such a cruel reality
A world so insensitive and shallow

A goodbye is just a moment
But the memories are stuck on replay
To think we deserve such torment
We remember each and every day

A goodbye will not hurt you
But the memories will shatter your being
Break your heart into pieces
Your life may even lose meaning

Goodbyes do not hurt you
They are only the beginning
A life that was once so simple
Turned into a life so unforgiving

The Blackbird skitters a song loud
across silent spaces
filling the void in a heart seemingly empty;
a poets rescue.

But the silence speak louder than words.
Sometimes, the silence screams.
Working to fetch another’s dreamy rotten wood and latch,
It has shown me the cogwheels of living, clearly.
If not for the clarity,
I would have reincarnated already.
I see them.
The Mongrels, cats and cows;
If not for the traps, I’d not be counting the wrinkles due to heavy happiness
on my dad’s cheeks and foreheads
rather than in the vernacular tongue
of not being
filled in the house, as a girl.
Well they meant it,
that she was done with learning and preparing her life for her husband.
She fills the house.
Before she explodes,
you ought to find a dude she can be dropped on!
With some incentives of money. Ya. Precisely!
Exclusively, Je ne sais pas!
