We all have a story
Your friend who died last night
Has published his
The least you can do is read
And acknowledge it
The authors achievements
The boy who got dumped
Feels a pain
Just as great
As you did when your father
Beat you half to death
We all have different thresholds
So never tell someone
They don't understand
Because in some way they do
The scars are all the same
On the inside

You sat me down
I was so young
the look in your eyes
flickered with pain
searching for the words
to describe the disease
to your little girl
shes unable to understand
the seriousness
the pain

I visit you in the hospital
I receive the good news
the contrast
between the good and bad
was immune to me
I didn't know what the disease
was capable of
it was capable of changing my life
forever

I curled up next to you that night
I dozed off on the hospital bed
blessed to have my Father.

There you lay, under that deep down ground;
Peace, tranquil, serene, was you not me.
You told me once, that death was beautiful,
it was life, it was everything.
You'd rather choose death over losing it,
because it, was simply death itself.
So I granted your wish, your desire,
and soon silence overtook you;
and I, in chaos.
I've lost the reason to live
when I lost you
because you've left not only me
but the world too.
And I knew the buried you
will never come back to life.

She hides behind her eyes
withered and tampered
tempered i am, she needs
to be pampered, help i give
but she won't receive, see
i want to help her, so she
doesn't have to grieve ....

Holding back my tears from falling down
like a sunken ship in an ocean of tragedies.
Going somewhere that no one knows
like a falling star in the night-sky.
Never to see
always to be my falling
star.

In memory of my beloved grandfather

I am so tired,
I cannot move
my life seems to have lost its groove

I cannot move on
God knows I've tried
But the pain simply wont subside

Look what you did to me
This is your responsibility

You were so selfish and  dumb
to your pain you finally did succumb

Look what you left behind
my life is now such a grind

I hate you so much for this
was this surely your last wish?

You know I lie
I could never hate you
I just wish I knew why

Lonely nights and unfinished wars,
Keep your love poems to yourself
Stop looking at the mirror
Or developing glorification

Wet pillows and scratched bed posts,
Start singing me lullabies
Stop screaming silent screeches
Or suffocating my sweet dreams

So I'll put on my shoes
And hope the laces stay this way
Because we're too hopeless to smear coals to fight
Lonely wars and unfinished nights

It's acquiescent,
to grieve for what you don't have,
your losses will pay.
