We’re out of place. Are we out of our minds?
You deserve better, I’m scared of what you’ll find,
About me, about my past. Some things I can’t explain,
The last thing I want is to be your source of pain,
So spread your wings and fly far away from here,
Listen to your heart, run away from the fear,
You don’t know me, the dark side of the moon,
You don’t know the side of me that’s out of tune,
My heart tears apart knowing I made you cry,
With my baggage, I’m broken, I want to try,
I don’t want to drag you through the dirt,
With my emptiness and with my hurt,
So before I break your heart in two,
Run far away because I cannot catch you.

I am falling for fall,
but it's winter now.
Oh how quickly seasons change -

they are willing to move on,
and maybe

so should we

When the ripples of the past mar the image of today, and the fragrance of a past bloom embitters a current aromas broadcast.
Then what could have been, that never happened, can be blamed on nostalgia and fervent contrast.
For a new bloom will never perfectly reflect the past, neglect not this seasons bloom, searching for that of the last.
The past although sensual is intangible, cling to the present knowing it could leave you just as fast.
First attempt at poetry... honestly sounded cliché to me. Written as a reminder to let go of the past so you can grasp what you have now.

The candle on the edge of the bath crackles
and, over my body, the ball is fizzing
the purple rain

of my red blood
in the blue reflection
of the sky in the water

my skin dissolves, my skeleton
shivers, so beautiful is this
ending, farewell my love

just let me go, I'm crying
but I love myself
since you kissed away what was ugly

You've made me go to mint tea
And eating fresh lettuce I've grown all myself,
With mindfulness and yoga sessions
And more thoughtful daily routines

You've made me realize
How toxic you really are;
Pondering upon if I should let you go
I conclude 'Yes.'
I suppose you did do two good things for me which was:
1.} You gave me temporary happiness
2.} You showed me what an all-around ****** person is so I know for future reference, and so I could cut you out and work and better myself so I could be healthy and healthier in all ways.

Do you believe in reincarnation?

You made mistake with your previous relationship.
Determined and promised to yourself that it would be a lesson learned
New relationship came
This time, you'll gonna do it right.
You'll go an extra mile to make up with your past lapses.

You succeeded!
You made the present one happy.
You pampered with everything you can do.
That was the best moment in your life
And so does to your precious one.

But fate did not go easy on you.
A small conflict turned into a major one.
One is holding on
but the other one is letting go.
Different decision but same emotion - pain.

Perhaps, each choice has its own selfish reason.
A resolution considered as subjective satisfaction,
you both knew it would be the best conclusion
to an almost perfect love story you worked hard.

Still, you ended up hurting that person.
Just like you did with the previous one.
Does history repeat itself?
Or you are bound to relive your past life's faux pas...

...unless you find the answer to your unending woe.

Sometimes something as simple as a look can hurt us.
It's so easy to get caught up in a moment of temporary happiness.
The truth seems so far from the place we'd rather be.
Eventually we become blinded by that
Which we know will eventually hurt us.
When in reality, what we truly want
Is for someone to hold our hand &
Tell us that everything will be alright.
It breaks our heart and tears us apart,
Something so simple as a look.
We allow ourselves to hear and see what we want,
But when that split second is gone
& there is no one else around to help
Us from finally glancing in that direction.
Something so simple as a look hurts us
More than we could ever imagine.
We never realize that we deserve more
Than we allow ourselves to have until we have no choice to let go and accept
What we can no longer see

Its 3am
And you're still sleeping
I sit across with my eyes, all weeping
You lied about all the things you said to me.
Its January 2017
And I tend to fall on all my faults,
That you were never the right one for me.

It's almost the end of 2019
And I'm no longer in your sad story
I'm living, breathing, I finally found the one for me
I know I should never fall back with you,
Indecisive lies; your issue.
