Zeal
Where things started out. Talks they were small ones. Names and such.

Zest
Laughs are only here when you are near and smiles are aftertaste from the sip of your jokes.

Zodiac
We both don't believe in either horoscope or astrology but I asked what's your sign and I didn't tell you mine. Your curiosity drove you to ask me mine.

Zany
We put up the ugliest part of us on display and tell that we are okay with each other making acquintance with it. In the same time, making ourselves at home. Nothing to hide.

Zone
Oops, didn't we saw the warning signs?

Zoo
All the adventures I tried to drag you in but you refused.

Zigzag
We took the wrong road. I saw trees like ghosts. I hear sounds and it's getting steeper. We ran with pitch black vision out of all these.

Zip code
I wanted to say sorry and I'm not good at talks so I wrote for you and put it into an envelope. There were never stamps.

Zoom
The feelings. It went away like wind I felt when your car zoomed past me on that Friday night.

Zap
And I'm out of this game.

Zero

Our tale is the length of the Z's in the dictionary. An allegory.
Got an inspiration from the book 'Lover's Dictionary' by David Levithan. Credit to the dictionary on my shelf from ages ago.

Hey
have you ever seen me back 2006??
Sounds far
And i know we been acquintance for several months
But i wish you met me then
I was the boy
Life was the man

After all i was romantic
Necks broke when i asked for a hand
On my dreams though
In the bliss of a given chance,
there are heartbeats in a trembling rhythm.
i ask God why he gave me these hands
when i can't even help myself with them.

A six-foot soul, rotting, wrapped in a tarp,
is being smoked, attempting to preserve it,
to sounds of shamans playing their mouth harps.

I

A rusty nail - a ray of the dawning sun,
is hammered into my back, for i'm a *******
kept indoors, as of now pondering on
some smart s**t that was once written by Sartre.

Connecting with my blood in an ill bond,
the duff concoction causing vigil and delusion,
would pull my tears from deep within my bones
to push them out in a sickening extrusion;

It made my stomach an acquintance of my lips,

It filled my throat and mouth with sore blisters,

as if i was a poor child that lisps,
exhibiting his skill in saying tongue twisters.

II

Woven into the crumb of my mind,
putrid spores of diseases untreated.

If i haven't left my past behind,
than my future is present repeated.

In the wetlands of the flat that i live in
there's a garden in a bottle of Jäger,
and a vine hanging down from a ceiling
by a table with an unopened letter.

III

The one who knows that what a tear holds,
will know that death is but a crude satire.
The one who built a shrine to suffering with words
will never die and always be admired.
The snippet started tranding so here is the full poem, I hope it's not underwhelming
