Excitement

when
someone you love
is in serious condition
at the hospital,
there is
always
that excitement
that they might
die.

But Not Gone

the soul
and the love
are dead
but not gone,
it's time
to learn from
the mistakes done
and do better
before this one
goes.

Never Grey

I spent
the most
of my life
chasing her,
and I'll spend
the rest of it
seeing her
running
away.

real love
is either
black or white,
never grey.

Should

I'm bored
thinking of
how
it should
have been.

I'm falling asleep
thinking of
how
it should
be.

And I'm dying
thinking of
how
it will
never
be.

I Just Tried

only a man who loved you
trying to do the best i can
i simply showed you
what kind of man i am
and i hope i got you thinking of me
until your next love story begins

The Best Part

when I'm sick and in bed I have to stay
when I stay home for 5 or 6 days
when I see my family away
or when I go on holidays

the best part
is that nobody
ever misses me

people say poetry is a dead Art
well, it might just be agonising or already dead
but whenever I listen to other writers reading their poems
I just want to kill that dead again
and again,
and again…

One Woman

there's no one
more blind
than someone
who doesn't want to see

there's no one
more deaf
than someone
who doesn't want to hear

there's nothing
more dangerous
than a woman
if she's the only one
you have in mind…

Dead Already

these beasts
just
keep themselves
busy.

not thinking,
not learning,
not realising
that
they are
only doing
what
they have been
told
to.
altho
ugh
they are
alive
and moving,

Robots

these
men
are always
busy,
they travel
back and forth,
they work
and meet
creatures
alike
but
as much as
they repeat
that this life
is taking
all
their time
and sanity,
they still have
matching socks
