She wore the results of last night’s fight

On her face as badges of honor

Sitting on the curb, she is waiting

Waiting for a ride, an escape

Away from this life

Neatly tucked away in a small corner apartment

The sun beats down upon her back

Rays pounding until her body was sweating

And she wanted to cry

No one to call and nowhere to go

She sits outside a church

Hoping for charity

Thinking she should get some religion

Then at least she could confess her troubles

Maybe it wouldn’t hurt

Knowing she had nowhere to go

Except a curb outside a church

Discarded, like a five year old sofa

Permanently sunken in the middle

Or an old office chair missing a wheel

So always teetered to one side

She slumped forward

Watching the traffic speeding by

Hope lingering on her face

Tucked in the wrinkles around her eyes

Maybe, she needed a sign

With HELP scribbled in big bold black letters

Then maybe she could find something more than this curb

Maybe she could find her escape

Her way out of this cycle

Rain clouds looming over me
Threatening to drench me in it's cold

But they don't know
I'm already drowning
Ice cold crashing inside me
Dragging me deeper into
a darkness I can't even fathom.

Too scared and tired to fight anymore
So here I lay, rain on my face
Nobody to pull me up, lesson learned the hard way
Drowning from the inside out.
Is it really that hard to save myself
Too late to ask for redemption

It was raining hard and patient
The doorknob clicked
The room was lit up
But it was heavy inside
The heaviness was surly
She heaved a sigh
With her light footsteps
She crossed the room
Her charcoal dark hair
Like waves of the ocean;
Dropped down through her frame
Her tired doe brown eyes
Covered by her curly lashes
Wandered through the windows
Her calloused fragile hands
Cold as ice and snow
Traced the windowsill
Clasped them in her heart
She was lonely
Alone in her midst
Alone in her pain
Alone in her memories.
This was my last piece since 2018. I haven’t written anything since then. It’s hard to loose my touch in writing.

I know it's childish
To imagine that you could possibly
Even like me
But the little girl inside me
Can't help but desperately cling
To the possibility
Even if it hurts so very badly
Even though each time I inhale I hope to breathe air
While instead poison caresses my lungs
With a touch as sharp as knives
I still breathe in
My heart begging for the chance that one day it won't hurt
To dream
And I know I'm childish
Yet I can't seem to give up
On you

The world said be brave,
While stresses,tensions,depressions whispered in her ears-You are a naive!!
It was not her steps that faltered,
It was the very world that swirled.
Malicious hands gripped her tight,
She could hear her heart shatter,
When her own told her she was a Blight.
She tried desperately hard to get up,
Everyone and everything had left her,
Yes even her Luck.
The hilt of the knife felt so warm,
The cords and ropes were calling out her name,
The fire in the grate drew her closer and closer and closer,
At last she was gone.
No breath.
No pain. No hope. No despair.
She had vanished into thin air..
Depression and suicide go hand in hand..It is hard to believe but in 60% of the cases the depressed souls resort to taking their own lives and no help can save them..

Let your heart touch mine as mine craves your touch.
Let your soul feel what mine desires and needs so much.

Share with me in what only true love shares.
Share with me what only a joint soul dares.

Eyes for only you with mind and heart enslaved to you.
Come with me where devotion and love compels us to.

A universe with you as the light that guides my future path.
All who follow will know that passion and love is our epitaph.

My heart calls to you as it yet again repeats its lonely prayer.
Mind that feels the emptiness, but yet hopes, that you are there.
Stand tall, don’t look down
You will fall
Windswept and spun around
We are small

I’ve been moving slowly,
Reaching out for you to hold me,
Keep on blinking at the moon
Know that I’ll be there real soon

And it’s a lonely, lonely world now
But that’s only for now
Don’t you understand my dear?
Hold on, for the end is near

There is nothing left to hide
When you’re helpless, waiting to collide
Through the flames, you’re by my side
We’ll go down together

Long guard the echoes
And our song will carry on

There is nothing left to hide
When you’re helpless, waiting to collide
Through the flames, you’re by my side

We’ll go down together
Immortalized
The world is a wretched place. Remember to keep your head up, always.

Depressed , sadness , emotional pain, giving up hunger, hopeless sene, helpless times.

Are this what we feel at every given time.

Am I right?

Then tell me why am feel so about you right now please?

I thought you were just one of those things but it ends up that I was wrong,

You got a better grip on me than I gave you space too.

Now all of you is what I want and take it from me,

Am not giving up until you see me not ready to be giving up on.
Things are not aways  the picture we think they are until we understand them.

What can you do about a hearts’ desire
oh, yes we’re playing, playing with fire
But only your love is taking me higher

As much as I can recall
We could have had it all, oh
Don’t worry I’m taking the fall for all

You pulled me up
Watched me fall
Was it love after all?

Been my enemy
Been my knight
Can’t we stop this fight?

We’re battered and bruised
I’m just so **** confused
oh, how could it get this far
Now we’re both leaving with a scar

I never meant to hurt you
after everything we’ve been through
I’ve tried to make you stay
oh, In every kind of way

You pulled me up
Watched me fall
Was it love after all?

Been my enemy
Been my knight
Why can’t we stop this fight?
