After all the stops,
The heart told her to
After all she's seen and heard
The heart wanted her to
After all it's felt
It still wanted her to take that step
But why?
All was before her,
Nothing new to be seen or felt
Because it's wise.
It new what it needed to leave
Without it, it wouldn't leave
She might, but it will always look back
So she listened
And she set it free.

Her mind resurrected
And reclaimed it's reign over her kingdom
After all the stones,
Who knew a pebble would free the heart?

Her majesty rose,
All the seas went calm and bowed
The parting of the seas felt between her ribs
Tardily and gracefully strolling
Every step  ground shaking
And finally she stood before her throne
Wore her crown and raised her sceptre
And to all it was known,
The Queen had ressurected
So this is basically about a woman regaining her common sense, finally her mind rises to think as the heart had been doing the job for too long

He will miss you, said the heart
He will miss the calls,
Your voice, that little blush
He will miss you smile,
Laughter and the way you look at him.

He will miss the fool he made of you
Your anger, vulnerability before him
He will miss your gullibility
But never your love, replied the mind
A great conflict within surged

So the universe made a deal with sight
And before my eyes it was revealed,
My time before him passed,
He didn't think twice,
Never took the chance to miss me
His mission was complete
He had no reason to look back.

And suddenly, everything within ached
A great grievance felt,
And a step was needed

Forgive her for admiring herself
For looking too much in the mirror
For loving what she sees

Forgive her for wasting time loving her
But, for the first time she sees her
And she sees the beauty.

Many a times she's felt worthless,
Told her beauty is an illusion,
Subtracted from every equation
Her flaws pointed out
And hung before crowds to shame her
She's been used,sidelined
Used as a substitute,
Made an option, taken advantage of
And expected to smile

Now she sees her worth.
I'm sorry, but she's done
So forgive her, but she won't stop
She'll love herself even when it hurts.
She won't stop even if it bleeds.
#she finally loves her

Is it lost?
Then why do we look for it?
Is it hiding?
Then why are we set on finding it?
Is it running?
Then why do we chase love?

Many a times it comes to us
When we are through coming after it
Going on our daily lives
We don't find love,
It finds us
So why are we looking?
Love finds us

Box
I hate it here,
In this box called my room
It's lonely and dark
With a turbulence of emotions
The waves bury me sometimes
And I drown for a little while
I suffocate in this airless box
Sometimes I get out
But the demons outside thirst for my blood
I feel I'm safer here,
But I'm suffocating.

If I cried, would it hurt less?
If I screamed to the top of my lungs,
Would the pain disappear?
Back and forth it's become a norm
Don't I deserve a chance at happiness?
Go through it all over again
Just with different people
And in different forms
Philia, Storge and always returned Ludus and Eros.
The disappointment and disgrace
All could never measure to the suffering
Why is it so easy for you?
Why do I have this heart?
Why trust when you fall for the same trap?
Above all,
Why don't I have the voice,
The strength to screech
Why does even the thought fail me?
All I want is to cut my chest open
And release the tear logged heart caged within
