The loneliness of life
Is a hard lesson learned
But once realised
Is one rarely forgot

No one makes it out alive
None of us have a second chance
So go all out in this amusement park
Ride your rides as long as your ticket lasts
Leave me not now, my love
I haven't had enough of your love tonight

The fragrance of your warm limbs
Have intoxicated me
Slowly but surely
I'm losing my judgement

So wait
For a little while
Let me run my fingers through your soft locks
Let them loose
Let them free
And throw them
All over my unappeased heart

Stay with me
A little longer tonight
Deleted yourself from my life with a click
Afterall, we were strangers behind the screen
Locked away from reality we talked through the night
And when we ran out of topics we bade a hasty goodbye
A lost lover's death
Unknown but profoundly felt
A hidden tear falls
My mouth is dry
And my heart thumps away
Like that of a young lover
I fear what I cannot see
We all fear what we cannot see

Precisely because
We cannot see it
And therefore know not
When it will arrive.
An old muse
Now gone away forever
Stray thoughts
Which now gather dust

The silhouette of an unfinished dream
With all the makings
Of a story
A masterpiece

I look at half done paintings
I read poems abandoned midway
And wonder about the story
We can never be the end of
I wish now
That I had persisted
Wish that I had held on
But I gave up my dreams
For the sake of a phantom I couldn't see
Nor touch, nor hear, nor feel

But I succumbed
And I fell
Down to the depths of my own hell

I've come up again now
Have gathered the broken pieces of the days I wasted
And have pieced them into an amateur mosaic of dreams

And I know I'll hold on this time
Even if
For just a little longer.
