Why
must it feel so far when we're so near
yet so near when were so far
why
must it feel so good when it's so bad
& so bad when it's actually so good
why
must things get worse before better
& get better before getting worse
why
must it be bitter before it's sweet
and sweet before it goes bitter
why
does it feel so right when it's so wrong
& so **** wrong when it's so right
why
must we always fight to find peace
& find utmost peace just to fight
why
does the pleasure feel this painful
& the pain instill lots of pleasure?
why
must we hate each other to love
& love hard till each other we hate
why
must things fall apart to fall together
& fall together just to fall apart?
why
do we depart to meet
& meet to depart?
why?
Why
must we hold each other just to let go
& let go just to hold each other?

I had a billion words to say
a billion emotions to express
a billion burdens to dump
a billion manacles to unchain
uncountable encounters with pain
I had a gruesome past to escape
the taunting memories it brought
So one day I caught chalk & wrote.
& that became my very first poem
a billion happy sad stories to tell
tales of how I've been through hell
scary nightmares to overcome
& someone in the wait to become
so I held on the rope of my talent
and I started to rhyme, with time
some people claimed I'm a poet
I had nothing to tell them I was
So I became what they saw
but deep within I'm just
the troubled soul and
a combat fighting wars...
battling a madness
and this is just
my dose...deep
within I'm still
who I was.

are too fixed
to be broken
*others too broken

Is it the things we do or those we don't?
the memories we cherish or ones that haunt?
the roads we took or those we feared?
Is it the mistakes we made when we veered?
the books we read and smiled, or chapters left untouched?
forgiveness or thousand grudges piled?Is it open doors or the latched?
Is it flowers which bloomed or those whilst tender fell?
Is it the Friends we made or those we lost, the beloved or the loathed
the milestones or the failures, the laugh or the rivers of tears
is it the reality or the Alias, our maturity or the years
is it Comedy or tragedy?
Is it unity we deserve or the drifting apart?
Is it healing or breaking millions a heart?
Is it transformation or stagnation while time goes?
Is it the peace that once was or the Wars?
*what's humanity?

I wanted to tell you about the fire
The fire that began with your crooked smile
The fire that ignited the light in my soul
The night you left I let it consume me whole

The same fire caused me to burn every bridge I ever built
I thought my heart was steel but I am                        melting
Those kerosene eyes set me on fire every time I looked into them

I wanted to tell you about the pillars of my heart
And the day you attacked them and caused the roof to cave in
over everything I've ever known to be true

I thought my biggest fear was fire
But the fire is all that                                     surrounds me now

They say you never know loneliness until you are given a forest
Only for someone to burn it down until it is                     *nothing

That's what I do best
I'm a hard ground awaiting
so only fall if I'm worth the pain
knowing I might not catch
you on your way down

I break hearts
*I won't break your fall

She dances in the cloak of death
Her heart palpitating
slow
time ticks onward

She dances in the cloak of light
Her eyes sparkling
morose
time ticks onward

She dances in the cloak of despair
Her feet forlorn
quivering
time ticks onward

She dances in the cloak of hope
Her breath intoxicated
poisonous
time ticks onward

She dances in the clock of birth
Her hands trembling
languidly
time ticks onward
Not sure if I should call it "Stretching time" or "The dance of time"

There is
No such thing
As hope

From the
Beginning
Hope is the mask

Despair has
Been wearing

said all songs come to an end
had never listened to this
everlasting beautiful
melody of my
melancholy.
