You treated me like I was your toy, I had plans to become your boy, I thought of what all, But never imagined this fall. The fall of our love, The fall I will serve, This isn’t what I deserve, I thought our love could preserve. Yet we are standing here, With eyes full of tears, We could have been peers, If you had kept me as your dear. Instead, you asked me to help you, I thought this was to grow closer, But you were just my player, and your game ---a love slayer. I would give you that, You are a very good liar, And I am just a cryer, Now start finding your new buyer Wrong is what I am not, for even after your plot My heart still loves you, All it is perceives blue. Are you happy now, After treating me like a cow, Is your personal vendetta complete, can I find someone else to please. But I will still ask you, Why did you choose me, What made me a key, What is that you plea? When I see your photo, Tears fill my eyes, my hairs start to rise, While my mind still ask--- “Why me?” My love for you was true But you treated me like your crew Now I need something strong to brew To forget that you ever flew

The biased love game
She wanted to remain pure, unstained, unpoked. She had toyed with getting a tattoo but realised it wasn’t individual anymore. But she was in need of validation. Was she past her peak? She’s still cool right? The needle stuck into her skin like the scent of an old lover. It left a fizzy sensation behind. The ink spread. She kept poking, stabbing, stick n poking. What emerged was a star. Startled, strained by Tar, scarred, her sparkle faded.

Tar, My star tattoo.
It was a lonesome and cold love A heartless love A painful love A love that wasn’t love A forbidden lust disguised as “love” And like love it was strong and powerful It moved my emotions It moved my thoughts It altered my views It changed my ways And it made me miserable It made me long for something unreachable Unattainable but felt like it was already at my fingertips; although never closer. Never further. The fear of moving away from it Kept me holding on Trying Losing A battle never to win always to lose Like a soldier I fought and I continued Just to learn That I was not supposed to be a soldier It was not my battle I bled for nothing I fought for nothing Lies laid there like dust never to be cleaned Slowly did I learn I had to let go Let go and move on But how do I? Teach me to be as heartless Teach me how not to crumble Teach me something I already know at heart but refuse to accept Stop coming back Stop leading me Leave your dust and do not come back to whirl it around the room again Just let me let go Please
