Ache


 Some days I can't breathe. 

And I don't know who to tell. 

I don't know who to call and alleviate my ache with. 

But I so want to tell someone, that I am a person who aches. I have my illnesses, my pain. 

I too need someone beside me, to hold onto me and tell me it'll be ok.

Ghosts


 And there will be promises that were not kept and dreams left unfulfilled. There will be nights where you will wonder where everyone has gone. And you will pray for calm and peace within, and ask that tonight, the ghosts will not play and allow you to sleep.

The Flintstones




Sometimes I wish I could go back to this time. The sounds, the songs, that time of the afternoon, at home safe and happy. A repetitive familiarity. A numbness, a boundary. No need for wanting to be older, because I was a kid and this was all I knew. Food made by my mum; all I had to do was eat it. There was nothing more to do but to laugh and wait for the next cartoon show to play.

Dead


 I will die yearning for him and, the Kambakht, will never know

Wait


When I know deep down there's nothing. 

Nothing to take. 

Nothing to give. 

Why do I still wait? 


Please Come


 Three wishes entangled in one. 

I wish for You. 

I wish for You. 

I wish for You. 

Wait, that counts as one? 

I wish for You.

I wish for You.

I wish for You.

I'm really bad at this...

Wishing sucks. 

Please just come. 

Adieu


 I don't know if I love a sunrise more, or a sunset?
Sunrises do seem to take forever and sunsets are swift.
Either way, it's a salutation. A bonjour or an adieu.
A beginning or an I'll miss you.

Mine

These words that I pen are not about you.
