The Fallen

The darkness entered determined

To shed light on their fallen circumstances.

It trapped their hopes to escape

Having crushed all of their buried senses,  

Souls were devoured when the trembling ground gave way 

Whose bodies the Earth embraced condescendingly

As the rescuers who arrived were maybe just a little too late

Though elsewhere, earthquake statuses had been posted readily  

Flames

Our lives are like candle wicks
Where one could choose to either
Burn intensely but die quick
Or live to die an ordinary fire

Not only did she choose the latter

Bringing sparks to extinguished hopes

But also rekindled the flames of many another

And showed the light to darkened souls

Her radiance made others burn

Making them envy her exuberance

Her downfall they did yearn

And to feed her to the Darkness

So they made the Shadows follow her

And Unwantedness crept in from behind

Till Loneliness ultimately took over

For Nightmares to keep her awake at night

She was a victim to their vicious game

Destroyed and lost, she soon gave in

And when they finally had their way

Rejoiced, that she'd never shine again

Staged

 

CAR                 GIRL

        CAR         GIRL
                 CARGIRL

She had just staged it too well.

The Haunted Unfaithful

He'd take me in his arms,

But me, he never held.

I was a victim of his charm,

Like a prisoner, self turned. 

On my cheek he would kiss 

And rest his chin on my shoulder 

But then always miss my lips

Which would make me wonder.

"What am I to you?" I would ask,

"My best friend forever!" He'd answer.

As I hid my disheartened face with a mask,

As he'd simply smile and pull me closer.

So one day, I screwed up all my courage I had,

I whispered "we're made for each other." 

As I tiptoed in for a kiss he didn't pull away,

But indifferently said, "Im sorry, I'm with another."

His words anchored me to a wreck, I sunk within,

Deeply immersed, I was desperate to float back above.

I was pulled back by my self made chains bound to him,

But I was too proud to drown in his unrequited love.

A first kiss I may have wasted on hopes so false,

But I won when him as a friend, I lost. 

I pity his lover still holding on, mistress of the Unfaithful, 

For he will always see me in her eyes that I haunt.
