You've done this before
and all that came from it
was hurt & regret
in the end
the only place left to go
is home
and you know exactly
where that is
so don't burn the attic
or the walls
the hallway
or the lounge
there is fear
there is stress
but beyond that
is success
so stop
pause
and breathe
there is a mountain of troubles
left to defeat
time isn't your friend
and health isn't mine
so there's no time for games
and no energy left to drain
and so you stop
STOP RUNNING!!!
there's misery where you're running to
there is grief
there is sadness
there is hurt
there is regret
there's a life where you run from
there are troubles
there are solutions
there is happiness
there is love

but if you run
you'll find yourself far enough
to never find the way
that leads back
home
you've been taught to run
but who showed you to fly

My death will be liberating.

And I do not say that in the sense
that I am going to find a cliff
and take a good jump off.

No.

I am just trying to find a
clever way to tell you

that I do not know what is going
to happen next.

You see,

there is a
fine line
between
dreaming and
mortality

and

I am finding out for myself
that being in love
does not always
involve

being awake.

And for my sake
I fall in love with daydreams,
nightmares,
hazy realities
and

the hung-over idea

of not being enough.

It is all out of my hands.
                 It is all out of time.

And the only thing I have left to do,
now,


is decide.
Thank you to anyone that reads this.

She Writes
Silence isn’t always silent
Sometimes silence itself
Is the answer we seek
Confessions, dreams, fears
Our greatest truths
Are hidden in our silence

The poet lives two lives.
One on the outside,
And one in their mind.

When you look in their eyes
You could see an abyss.

If you looked long enough
You could sink into it.

But most people don’t see it.

Take the time to read the words, though,
And you would know for sure.

The poet lives in two different worlds.
A little escape from the madness.
Or maybe, into.

This world
in the love of a lover
is no less than heaven
is no less than hell

you don't want to love me
you just want to use me
for pleasure
for fun
not to stay longer than
a few months
just another summer fling
with someone familiar
someone who won't poison your mind
someone to ease your soul
you don't want me
to wife you
just someone for another
sunday morning brunch
and friday night ****

darling (I mean *****)
I am not someone
to fill your empty heart
and empty mine
just for the "fun" of it
I don't want to lose
more than the everything
that I've already lost
to you & your lies
to your needs & wants
to your wishes & dreams
I gave myself to you
and you took that away
I can't let you take the nothing
that's left behind

you're afraid
to knock at my door
and I'm afraid
to open it
Main aaya
aik nahin....kai baar aaya
bas tune nahin pehchaana
