Reality
Did she expect it to hurt? Yes
Did she expect it to be awkward? Yes
Did she expect to feel lonely and empty after? No
But that’s what she got. Although it was their first time, what she least expected was that he’d turn away from her the moment he was done. She wanted progress and he gave her an end. She loved him so much to give herself over to him, which she shouldn’t have.
Does she expect to move on? Yes
Black and White
Pieces shattered
Scattered everywhere
They’re black and some are white
Broken gruesomely
As if thrown at a wall
From a distance,
They lay
Waiting for someone
To come pick them up
To put them back together
To fix the mess.
But I know
From deep in my heart
That no one will come
That these pieces could never be whole again,
These heavily shattered pieces of my heart.
Need I wake up today?
- It's a Sunday
- Got to clean my room
- Got to do 1 week's worth of laundry
- Got a project deadline looming ahead
- Grocery shopping
- Feed the cat or he'll bite me... again
- Water next door plants cause they trust me, a complete stranger, I don't even know why
- Brush me teeth cause my mouth has started to stink
- Get up because it's the normal thing to do
- Eat something else I might die
- Sleep some more cause it's good for the skin...
Broken Wings
She lay there trapped
Beneath a dried leaf
Beside a twig
Wet
And alone
With her light
Her own light
That shone from her heart
Burning out.
She used to be a wanderer
Through night and day.
She used to fly
Wings spread, free and gay.
She travelled through the forests
Over the plains
Across the water
Never tired
Never paused
Until that one fateful day.
On a dawn so beautiful
With light reflecting
From the dew drops
Like sparkling crystals,
She was skipping
From leaf to leaf
Lost in her thoughts
When she first saw him.
A human boy
A face so kind
With a warm smile as he slept.
Such a peaceful face, she'd thought.
She perched on a branch
And watched him from afar.
The boy came every day
And she watched him from afar
She smiled when the boy smiled
Frowned when he frowned
She admired him
And she knew she loved him.
She was aware
Of the frightening myth
Among the fairies,
That if fairies fall in love they die,
But she didn't care anymore.
The boy was all that mattered
She devoted
Her remaining breath
To watch the boy
To wish him joy
Until one day
The boy stopped coming.
So, as she lay there trapped
Beneath the dried leaf
Beside the twig
Though alone
She was not lonely.
For her heart
Was filled with the boy.
Her light was burning out
But it didn't matter,
Cause her face showed not
The tiniest bit of sorrow.
Beautiful, she thought to herself
As her light burned out
Into the darkness.

My Light Of Hope
I was a lonely wanderer
In the darkness of the night
The black clouds stretched across the sky
They hid the moon so bright.
Feeling scared, lost and unsure,
Through the shadows I slowly crept.
Passing by those peaceful inns,
Where the other wanderers slept.
It was dark as the underworld
And the silence never ceased.
Fear crawled up through my skin,
The caution I felt never eased.
And then, amidst the closing darkness,
I see a shimmer of light.
A tiny glow of hope swells in me,
And I gather my strength, my will, my might.
I walk towards the flicker of life,
Ignoring the darkness creeping now.
It's the only thing that keeps me going,
Prevents me from falling down.
At last I reach the source of hope,
And a surge of joy flows through me.
For, standing there with a lamp in his hand,
Was my beloved father, waiting for me.
Say It..
Just say it once,
I need to hear it from you.
I know now, I truly do
That you feel it too.
When you look me in the eye,
My head's a garbled mess.
Coherence jumps out the window
I'm dazzled more or less.
I hate that you can make me feel
Happy, crazy and confused at once.
I hate that your annoying smirk
Stands out among a million ones.
You are what my heart desires
Binding my body and soul.
You hold the key to my entire existence
You complete me, you make me whole.
So, say it, I must ask of you
Those three words that mark my beginning and my end
For I need to hear it from you
To let my torn heart mend.
