Please Stop Asking Questions That Don't Help

just another cigarette break
as my hands shake
and my thoughts race
and I'm afraid
that it's too late
to save what left

just another breath
and another rest
but I don't have another left
in my hollow chest
so I detest
your value of value

I can't explain
why it rains
inside my brain
as I fade
into a claim
that tomorrow will be better

my municipality

oh, what an unfair edict of love
my heart has enforced-
and it seems revocation
can’t cease this
predilection for you.

ily

when I say, “I love you,”
I want to mean it,
because I say plathoric things
that I don’t mean

juliet

like tourists’ hands rubbing Giulietta of Verona; my mind is worn to a thin gold sheen.

i just want to love you
in my own language.

missed

i stand in the puddle
of realization that

your aloofness is my elixir.
your flaws are my perception
of beauty.

your heart is my home , but your home- a corruption  and gold no longer sparkled
like it used to.

like chasing winds

i’m caught in the slew of
your scents.

they’re yellow devitalized
holes.

like bookmarks, smells mark
memories
so one may easily flip to a
page

and I stand in a sea of faces
and ask

“where are you?”

i guess your aloofness is my
elixir.

The Blade

Do
Not
Think
You know
How I think
Because there
Are things inside
That you cannot see
And it's not fair for me
To pretend that you are
A Godsend or some kind
Of beautiful fury taken out
On my mortal frame for the
Sake of keeping me in line
So don't hold back, please
There's no way for me to be
Sure of what isn't the end
And you knew me so well
That it doesn't really matter
What you say or do because
Losing you is the only thing
That hurts more than getting
Stabbed in the back and I
Am really almost positive
That they are the same thing
And all you are is
The aftermath of
What would have
Been an earth
Shattering love
Or a fragile sun
That brightly
Imploded on
Itself the moment
It realized what
Was in it's near
Future.

Rufus Wainwright

its a cold and broken sky
that shines its light tonight
and the snow on the ground
that slips into the night

My voice cracks my words fall
the floor turns to void
a broken hallelujah escapes
as I disappear beneath their ploy

Just Read It Anyway

I don't mean to sound pretentious
but I have all intention
of saving myself if it came down to it
and our situations are different
so please try to listen
because this isn't a *******
walk in the park
but rather its a shot in the dark
and neither of us can see
past our own hearts
so don't judge me
for what you did
this isn't great
but it's not a ******* sin
pain can bring out the animal in us all
so don't be surprised when I fall away
and I'm not there
when you wake
because sleep never came to me easy
I'm not broken or ashamed but maybe I am
but I promise I will do the best that I can
to be happier
for myself
vain and conceited
I don't get a chance
but I'm too tired anyway

Love

Same class ..
Different approach..
Mine from Physics,
Her from English..
What should I say !?
Or,
Should I say !!?
What if she wasn't into it ..
Is she gonna hate me...
Lets be positive,
That's what her smile says..
Will she accept me ,hope so ..
I won't appreciate mirror,
but fate though..
We share same height,
With different personalities..
Mine "i dont know" hers limelight..
What if she is with someone else !
I bet she's happy,
That's what her smile says..
She light up my life,
She is Apple of my eyes...
When she passes by, i close my eyes,
Listen to her steps fade away..
So that, i can reverse them,
And play like they are coming in...
But its not true, its crazy..
That's why I am here sitting and writing ..!!

White Flag, Black Shark

the world is a sea I believe
but I cannot breathe underwater
the more I swim in this sea
the more it pulls me under

leave me be for I can see
the fins that break the surface
they smile when they see me bleed
their speed makes me nervous
