Streetlights
I’m dragging my fatigued body up the street
a rotten heart, motionless face, I am in a maze I cannot seem to find a way out;
all I have are those streetlights-
that stand so tall and unreachable, but I found the dim lights comforting
as if the light waves can reach my face, I looked up and thought to myself:
Can you guide me home?
Connected
That rainy night we were on the phone
Talking for hours about ourselves-
we just went on and on, and we never seemed to get tired of it.
Then we went to the balcony for a smoke break
we are miles apart; but connected
we lit our cigarette at the same time
and in that very moment when I look upon the stars
I saw you in the flickering light.
Nonchalant
When midnight talks turned into silence
When hugging and giggling turned into hiding in our own beds
When dinner dates became responsibilities
When spending a day with you turned into a burden
When you acted so nonchalant after a fight
When everything turned silent- that’s when you know.
Paranoias
It comes at night, knocking on my door
First it started with slow knocks
Then, it started to knock repeatedly;
Knock, knock, knock, knock
The knocking sounds invaded my mind
The sounds that thrust through my brain
So repetitive and repulsive
I walked out of my bed to that door
Trying to figure out who’s knocking-
And all I found out
Is my shadow all along.
Sidenote: It’s been a while since I have updated this blog, but I think it’s about time for me to update and write again, writing is my passion and will always be.
