On the wall
Will they love me
After all?

Mirror mirror
On the wall
Will I ever love me
Once and for all.
As much as I wanted to

I could never hate you

my love was too strong

for hate to stand a chance.
When a relationship
feels like a burden and
trust is found wanting

Break it before
it breaks you.
Give and take

Strictly business

Giving and receiving

Love? Maybe.
What makes life meaningful?

Understanding another's

pain and suffering–perhaps.
One can only give
what one has

Be it love
or
Be it hate.
Not all rivers
end up in the ocean–
doesn't make their journey
less worthy.

Not all love
ends up in a lover's arms–
doesn't make it any less
worthy.
I always loved blue–
the blue sky
the blue ocean
my little blue pen.
I painted oceans on canvas
in various shades of blue.

But today, I am blue with
every bitter memory I have
of you.
I never understood life.

Well, who cares –

Life never understood me either.
I love you enough
to give you my life –

but not enough
to surrender my freedom.
