My Family

Sometimes, I just sit there, listening as they speak.

No fights, just occasional laughter, and happy conversations.

So I sit there, to experience it and remember.

Remember what we used to be.

What our family used to be at one point.

No fights, occasional laughter and happy conversations.

It's nice to see cooperation.

But underneath every smile,

every joke and every laughter.

There's still a lingering black smoke, trailing behind us.

And it will never leave.

And those happy conversations, and occasional laughter,

will turn to fights, anger, and broken tears.

And our family will fall to pieces.

And that is why I sit there, just listening,

so that when we do fall to pieces,

I can still remember what our family used to be like,

Occasional laughter, happy conversations...

And always...a little bit of pain.

Black Bullets

All the streetlamps she follows home, Darkness surrounds her in black smoke. Every step echoes like a whispering dome, Followed by a shadow of a cloak. Empty bottles lay broken on the street, And among the dark, angry clouds, Blood stained by a crow's feet, They whisper their avows. The cold wind blows right through her bones, Opening the gates, she follows through Bending down low, she stares at the clones, That are displayed for world view. Red tears stain the broken graves, Phone rings, and a rush of crows flew, Beyond the dirt lay hundreds of slaves, Drowned in a dark blue. But mercy becomes just a game, No longer played for fun, Pins and needles used for shame, The crows are shot with guns.

No More Second Chances...

Thump, Thump, Thump... Her foot smacked against the hard, dirty concrete and a moan interrupted the dead silence of the cold night. But she kept on walking, oblivious to the searing pain in her foot. Thump, Thump, Thump...mhpm... Again, a cry of pain echoed in the silence but she still didn't stop walking. She shrugged and tossed her dark brown hair behind her back and walked in a fast pace. Her foot smashed against concrete and the poor toes squished together in the tight space. Unfortunately for her right foot, six painful toes smashed together unpleasantly and a tearful cry escaped the extra toe. Hideous as it may be, the other toes gave it enough room to breathe. Still, the skin scraped against the inside of the shoe and the extra toe could feel its skin rip slowly. Blood smeared agasint the shoe and she cried out painfully. "Make the pain stop!! argaosidfl!" The extra cried out desperately, but the girl was so oblivious, that she didn't hear anything except a wei...

Just words on a page..

Let the breath leave my body as I exhale sorrow, pain, loss and heartbreak. Let fresh air fill my lungs as I inhale beauty, love and happiness. My body shakes at the thought of holding on to pure love and beauty, in the hope that when I spill my heart out to another soul and give everything I can offer, I will at least get the same in return. Perhaps when the stars align for me, a voice will whisper in my ear, with such gentleness and affection, the love will wash over me in warm soft caresses on my skin and I will hear what I always deserved to hear. No more meaningless words on a page, this time I deserve something special. No more of just a single rose, but rather a bouquet of every flower existed.  Perhaps in another world, good things will come to me. I used to desire you so bad, I used to yearn for your touch every night, wishing, hoping, dreaming about when those lips will be mine. Well the dream has come true and yet something is missing. This whole time I believed...
