Cruel World- Stories From the Afterlife

Image
What could I have done To make you change your mind A false sense of security Is understandably a lie It never occurred to me That I was your safety net I'm sorry I took it down And made you plunge to your death I know you waited on me At the airport every night I didn't have the heart to show up Now I'm the cause of your plight You're a picture perfect damsel in distress And it's a cruel world, I built all by myself What could I have done To dilute my toxicity You didn't like all the things I loved for you And that made me so angry It never occurred to me To ask you what you want I made false assumptions No one but me is at fault I know you waited on me At the airport every night I didn't have the heart to show up Now I'm the cause of your plight You're a picture perfect, damsel in distress And it's a cruel world, I built all by myself I look at you and I go down a rabbit hole thinking There's that shoulder that used to freeze my...

Just Between Us -Stories From the Afterlife

You worry more than you should and that worries me Your cold complexities leave me frozen at the periphery   Just between us do you think about the winters  when I can't keep you warm anymore?  Because I do I'm underwater burning with desire to stay there forever  But if forever means accountability I don't think I can face it just yet My wrinkled fingers and your demeanor are false lines of age And in between them lie our efforts to grow up in vain Your damage control is a lot louder through the phone  But it's better than me duct taping every piece of it I could  Just between us are you scared that the next time won't be different?  That you'll try so hard to feel the same as you did with me ? Because I do I'm underwater burning with desire to stay there forever But if forever means accountability I don't think I can face it just yet My wrinkled fingers and your demeanor are false lines of age And in between them like our effort...

Sanditon - Stories From the Afterlife

Image
Based On: Sanditon by Jane Austen I can't bring myself to remember All the flowers that died 'cause of the storm you brought in I can't bring myself to be clever Your luminous glow might blind me forever If I had looked in the other direction Would our eyes meet like the sea and the sky If you had looked in the other direction Would your eyes sparkle like the stars on a dark night You're driven by ambitious forte I'm driven by meeting you everywhere A moment alone in a crowded room A thousand stories told with just one look You're driven by fight club winnings I'm driven by tending to your wounds Behind closed doors in solitude I'm gratified by your colourful gloom I can't bring myself to remember All the sweet nothings that fuelled my pride It won't hurt to be forever Surrounded by grief in the midst of a joyful ride If I had looked in the other direction Would you own up to spilling your wine If you had looked in the other direction...
