We meet again

Torn apart like a hull

We meet again

In the middle of a furious sea


Oh how naive

To think we would never meet again

Oh how naive

To think I would never dip into you again
Maggie Oct 2021
Your love
is a rhythm
which my movements never quite fit

Your love
is a river
that keeps escaping its bed

Your love
is a home
no key is able to unlock

Your love
is no longer
My love
Maggie Oct 2021
I have been throwing up words
In the hope of purge
From the poison
Left in me
Maggie Oct 2021
They say people never change
But they do

They rot
               decay
                         deteriorate

On a rare occasion
They repent

People change
Just never in a way we deserve
Maggie Oct 2021
I'm yet to decide
Are you harmless or heartless,
A human or a ghost?

Either way
I won't be left hurtless

Sorrow sowing,
Heart harvesting

For the first time
I put salt in the soil
None in my eyes,
None on my wounds

Chase the feeling

Try to name it
Try to tame it

My greatest mistake

The feeling never owned
Borrowed at best
At a massive interest rate
Maggie Oct 2021
My face alternates
Lit by the rays
Then
Drowned in darkness

I pass drowsily by the fence
Of your childhood home
Nothing feels real
And neither do I
Now that you are gone
And never coming back

Oh my little aristocrat
Oh my bravest dove
Creatures like you
They are never supposed to die
