Stolen Sunrise
If I had never kissed the sleep off your eyes,You wouldn’t have stolen my sunrise away.If I had never kissed the morning dew from your lips,You wouldn’t have stolen my soul away,And now I am imprisoned in this darkest cavernWhere no light permeates to subdue my grief.

How are you?
“Are you okay?” They asked.“No. I am dying inside and you don’t know. I am not okay in every sense of it but when was the last time you truly cared though you’ve been asking me how I was? When was the last time you listened when I needed someone to vent my grief? When…

Dark Phase
The day it started… A while ago I experienced that feeling I never wanted to feel again. I wasn’tcold but I was trembling. I didn’t know what triggered it, but it scares me. I crouched down, curled up like a ball in my bed, puff some air a few times to slow down my breathing.…

The Gallows
Laid out all my cards like there was no tomorrowBut that bitter-sweet game only gave me sorrow.If I had stayed within the confines of my keepPerhaps I could still enjoy a peaceful sleep.But as selfish as you were, you wouldn’t let me beI took the fall, but my suffering, you wouldn’t seeWho should be blamed…

Solitary Confinement
Must I go back to where I wasTo the place where I was confined alone,When I wandered far from homeIt sheltered me inside cold walls.Though it kept me withheld in doorsAnd silence was my companion,It never let me feel sad and alone,Hence, on its shoulders I clung on.Perhaps I was blind for I couldn’t seeNobody…

Memory Lane
In this nameless street where sorrow and joy meetWith a tempestuous mind and unsteady heartbeat Quite dull and feeble, battered with exhaustionI walk still very unable to contain my emotion. Traipsing down on memory lane perhaps,Recollection of the gleeful past perhaps,Though wearisome as it may seem, I mustWalk along, rest if need be, but I mustn’t stop.But,…

The Road To The West
I’m in the middle of the roadThat to the East, there, to the WestWhich road must I chooseWhen I often think I am lost?Must I take the road to the westMaybe I’ll find peace and solace,There in the land of the dead,There in that forgotten land,Maybe I could rest.This exhaustion is gnawing at mePerhaps it’s…

Shall You Find Me Not At The Necropolis
Shall you find me not at the NecropolisSearch for me, maybe, on the shoreFor I may be sitting on the dockI’ll be waiting to be found by thee. But if you let me a-wander after thisKnow that I will still understand you moreI’d tarry till night-time to try my luckI’d be waiting still until you…

Her Final Wish
“If I were to vanish from the face of the earth,I wish to convey my message to the people I cherish.And I shall commence it on this note;Do not shed a tear for my passing,’’ “And if I shall be granted with my request,On top of the mound, do not plant red rosesFor I prefer…

The Heart That Once Loved True Lies Here
You proclaimed your intent too sweet for her liking,Perhaps it was one of those scripted litanies.Her naïve heart swooned over your tender words,Unaware her peaceful world would crumble. For quite a while she danced gayly,Oblivious to the looming malady.She sang melodies, laughed her heart outLiving in fantasy, without a hint of doubt. But one day,…
