loneliness by nature is lonely
thrilling matches witnessed alone
long walks and empty hands
dinner for one, staring at walls
i strategically lit my home
for shadows are my friends now

shadows

sunless
no wonder days look so blurred
i don’t remember what sun looks like
there’s no warmth through my window
just cold, distant wind
the skies replaced by dark clouds
seem to have made themselves home
and yet false hope facing flyward
is still waiting for sunshine -
betrayal
is it fair to stab in the back
a person you held dear
the ruthlessness of the society
made you do that you fear
might someday happen to youadvantage over relations
pragmatic over emotions
at what cost, though
promises on occasions
are now buried declarationswhat’s left behind
is a broken heart
and a soul unhealing
even sobs have choked
themselves to sleep -
not that into you
why are there so many sleepless nights
is the thought of you keeping me awake
the way you moved, the way you smiled
nah! i’m over you, i just slept all morning -
not today
not today, my love
not when the skies bleed
not when the lands parch
not when the clocks stop
don’t break my heart -
unconditional betrayal
a moment of your time
for stories untold
a slice of your life
for secrets you soldbetrayal, loss, mistrust
i still can’t say no
afraid to lose you forever
why can’t i let you go -
a call out of the blue
i miss my friends
scattered around every which way
i miss my friendsa song overheard
we used to sing together, out of tune
lyrically lazycheapest soda
only to get more and more, wasting time
how preciousriding a moped
sitting four with olympian skills
on a flat tyrenot lazy, now crazy busy
gulping pricey liquids alone
four seater, sits one -
tick-tock
a day goes by
hours, spent
but without you
eternity, it meant -
no shelf life
blinded by the smile
unworried what lies underneath
unbeknownst, your penchant
to use a commodity that i am
and throw me away
