To Be Continued

I fell in love with you but you didn’t

So that was an opportunity we both lost.

You fell in love with someone,

I got hurt and bruised.

Eventually I moved on and so did you,

But you broke that person’s heart because you found someone new.

Soon after your new love moved on without you

And we lost touch,

I didn’t dare ask how you have been doing

For fear you might think I’m still hoping for so much.

Our paths once crossed but it seems it will never again

You and I, we try to avoid each other it seems.

Our story ends here

Or it may be a to be continued when we’re different people in a different life.

Her Maybe

Maybe someday…

Maybe on a different lifetime

I’ll be the one to fall in love with you first

Maybe then, I’ll be the one to pursue you

And maybe, maybe then we could be together

War

The ground shook

The sky turned black

The sound is deafening.

Each night we pray

To live another day

And each day we try to dodge the bullets.

They drop their bombs

And when the smoke clears

The stench of death lingers in the air.

Different Lifetime

I could have loved you, you know?

And you could have fallen in love with me.

Maybe in a different lifetime we’ll have that chance.

Let Me Be

Let me kiss you the way you’d want to

Let me hold you close

Let me not promise the world but to be there when the world ends

Let me be with you til the dawn breaks

Til the sun sets on us

Til we grow old and until our life is spent

Let me be…

Beauty in Death

A flower about to wilt is just as beautiful as the one blossoming.

People don’t acknowledge it, but there is beauty in death too.

Inanimate

And though I loved the way he made me feel

It wasn’t true, it wasn’t real

It was all scripted

For he was after all like all my toys,

Inanimate

Giving Up, Giving All

Here I am trying to sort this out

Here I am trying to survive

Trying to understand what am I about

And withstand the dive

I often, if not always, get knocked down

I whimper and frown

But as life is like this,

I just get back up again

Routinely Grind

Alarm goes off and you blink your eyes only to shut it again

Sometimes, it’s too much of a grind from the routine

Tired, Sometimes

Bones creaking

Back aching

Tired and weary

But such is life

Sometimes you have to toil

Before you can reach your goal
