Death of Me

 


I remember the time I felt love all around,
A warmth in my heart, a joy unbound.
In those sacred moments, I danced with grace,
Closer to God, in a divine embrace.

But then came the shadows, creeping like night,
Swallowing laughter, extinguishing light.
The world I once cherished turned bitter and cold,
Where dreams turned to ashes, and hope felt sold.

Unbearable pain became my only friend,
A relentless darkness, with no means to mend.
I wandered through valleys of sorrow and fear,
Where silence was loud, and no one could hear.

Each breath felt like shackles, each heartbeat a toll,
The death of my spirit, the loss of my soul.
Once vibrant and lively, now hollowed and gray,
In the depths of despair, I slowly decay.

Yet within this abyss, a flicker remains,
A whisper of love that breaks through the chains.
For though I am broken, I still hold the key,
To rise from the ashes and reclaim the “me.”

Polished Sins

  A suit and tie, that polished smile, Covering up sins stacked mile by mile. They flaunt “new love,” someone else’s child— A ready-made story, perfectly styled. They’ve “levelled up,” or so they preach, But on someone’s pain, they made their reach, With vows of loyalty, words so neat, While another’s screams lie beneath their feet. Oh, they “moved on” to brighter skies, Leaving someone broken, with silent cries. They mount new heights, they shout and boast— Scaling peaks on another's haunted ghost. So smile for the camera, flash your pride, Show off the life that you tried to hide. For we know the truth beneath your gleam— A hollow show, a self-made scheme.

Until Noon

I can feel the distance, But my body craves you. I am howling at the moon, Hoping you love me until noon. It’s winter, and everyone is covering up, But I will drop every single layer for you. Will you make the bedpost creak? Like the way we break our Duolingo streak? Or will you be my Count, And leave your marks on my neck? Will you drink away my life force, Or give me your immortal kiss? Who would care about saving it for daylight? We are creatures of this starry night. Will you save me with your sword, Be my Guinevere’s Sir Lancelot ? These boys keep talking about getting high at the pub. Would you do me the honour of the Mile High Club? Will you track my curves like an F1 circuit? Or be like kids fighting over the gully cricket? Come get me, while the night is still young, And we erase the distance with our tongues.

Game Of Fire and Ice

Hey Mister, Why won't you play a game of Twister? I promise I won't play coy. Won't you love it if I were your only toy? You can be the Lion in the boardroom, Then make me roar in the bedroom. Let's play the game of fire and ice. You bring the sugar, and I get the spice. I am praying by myself these nights, Drowning my moans when the city sleeps tight. We can play the game of Super Sonic, And then have our own race over some gin and tonic. So find me, like an app can find a phone. No, I won't bring out my Medusa and turn you into stone. I have been getting over my fears, Learned to make my tears into spears. You can take me as you like. We can go until we hear the third strike.
