Shedding tears and laughing in her memories is a movie watched on loop by me. Story of granny about the deceased shining as a star is the force driving me into asking all stars the reason for her deviation from the path of her promise of never leaving me alone. Silences are her replies if she really exists in any of the stars. Silhouttes of dark circles under my eyes is the waiting for her reply. Her betrayal is a fire and I'm its victim.

an ancient lyric, come to haunt, no longer a shield, now thinner, of gossamer consistency, a tissue-thin papyrus, “my poetry to protect me” the poem words always were a clarinet reed, capable of singing, a highest pitch voice for turning blades of clean steel clean away, now blunting paper bunting, penetrated. re-formed my shield, re-purposed, into a stabbing instrument offensive, my poetry pricking tearings in my worn thin fabric tapestry, woven from linen excuses of why I can’t, why couldn’t I. this is life. moats becoming drowning pools, castle walls reversed to entrapments, wrecking machines, boulders hurling, medieval defenseless against modern rhymes giving away to free verse horde onslaught. too late to apologize to myself, alas, my words, my protectorate, island redoubt, now ruined by doubts treachery breech birthed from within, these verses hollow point bullets engineered, Caesar’s words clarified, you, et tu, are Brutus too, two, for the price of one, betrayer and betrayed.

“my poetry to protect me”
If someone, you trusted the most betrays you. People blame you for trusting him "Blindly" and also quote "Trust No One". But have you ever seen anyone pointing their fingers at the person who betrayed you, looking him in the eye and asked him why would he do that to you or how dare he betray you or anyone? No! right? I feel, the people, the society encourages this betrayal and the betrayers. If anything such happens around you, stop giving free pieces of advice and stop backing him(the betrayer) up. You better warn the betrayer not to betray anyone and also quote "BETRAY NO ONE" What kinda foolish statement is "Trust no one"? How can you not trust anyone? So everything you do is just drama! Acting like you trust him/her, that's where these betrayers come from. They are you, who sit silently when betrayal happens You got to trust! Nothing works without trust! Why is it, not trusting anyone even an option? Let's say let's "BETRAY NO ONE"

Betray No one
Every time I look at your picture, I can't believe you left me. It breaks more than just my heart that you are gone. This is more than a heartache Though to the world you were just a person but to me you have always been the world I miss you, The biggest void in my soul has been created by you I loved you with every fluid in my being Yours Affected Goodbye

far away to foreign land off the cross pearl settle down with the nearest knife by my side and in the year of the plague jump back into the heaven you can’t get it straight if you double track from hell to make sure of yourself in Gomorrah the medicine man has the cure for your troubles as we stagger to the next parlor for another round of joy but then the air gets thin with the sweet rise of misery follow the trail to Sebastian road pluck out the arrows or suffer at will in Gomorrah if i stay here any longer than i should might as well meet the maker into the orange house to where she said to meet but without a pause a light arose falling forward onto the ground to make a safe bet i never knew what was to come in Gomorrah

I saw this damsel in a restaurant sometime last week. She looks more like a girl I used to know. She glows in her chocolate skin, and radiant physiognomy. Elegant, with dazzling eyes, she's pleasing to the eyes. I was amazed at the closed resemblance, and was stealthily glancing... But lo! She caught my eyes. I smile at her and she smile back with a friendly smile that dazzled me even more. She had the same smile as the girl I used to know. I pretended to be minding my business, then squinted her again, only to see her touching her neck in the same manner the other girl used to habitually touch her neck. There and then I concluded that they would have the same behavior. I just stood up and walked away after emptying my bowl.

Love I Won't Want To Have
Don't look into my eyes, if all you do is lies. don't bother ask how i fare, when you don't really care. don't wake my feelings, for just no reason. and please don't fake it, when you really don't mean it.

Stop
I gave all i ever had to you, it is so surprising, seeing you break it to two. You stab me at the back, and then, you twist it in. I needed you to survive, but, in-turn i got attacked.

You distracted me from people People who really mattered, and always will You distracted me from the greatness of my life My true and initial life You brought upon what you assumed I wanted What you assumed I needed But dear, you were wrong Oh how wrong For all the mess you caused petrified me And left you astounded so you decided to leave You left me behind in a fire you started Dry out of the water But hey, It's my fault, for standing too close to the fuel...
