The Last Goodbye

Heavy thoughts weight my body down, as I try to lift my arms and move my legs. Sprawled across the empty room, blood wasting away from the slit wrists. Morbidity seizes me as my lungs seem they would burst. Tears of solitude cause the only motion in the room. Images of different people dance away from my eyes. A resilient voice calms me down as I take in my last breath and finally let everything go...

Lost love

The stillness of an adult was transformed into the wonder of a child, as your love slipped comfortably within. The moonlight trickled down on us, as we crossed over water to dance and twirl. The stars burst into violent flames from the intensity of the moment we spent together. The wind freely sang our whispers, as smiles sealed our lips to conclude a perfect ending. Magic and fairytales became alive, defying all worldly rules.But somewhere down the lane, reality barged my path. I struggled to solve the conundrum, which would allow you beside me. How soon life succumbed to mortality. The journey that seemed so fulfilling has suddenly left a taste of emptiness that is slowly choking my life.These eyes are still blinded by the image of those memories that have been folded eternally in time. These hands grasp nothing, still searching for the fingers that were once entwined in mine. This heart still desires that blazing fervour, which was doused by the salt water that fell, as you slipped away from me.I miss you more than the frozen winter’s ground misses the warmth of the sunlight, which colourizes the lonely lands. Those barren grounds can not compare to the icy silence in my life without you. The fire that kept a thousand nights warm refuses to fight the cold away, without your loving presence next to me. I feel myself as footprints in the snow, lost in the heavy storm, vanishing forever without a trace. No chastisement could have been more severe than the separation between us.My body moves away but my spirit lingers behind where you have been laid to rest. The unmoving grin of your image arouse my inclination to merge into your universe. Yet, I can not join you till my time is done. My soul creeps slowly out of my body, bit by bit, as pain engulfs me wholly until I finally meet you again.

Call me love

I'm throwing up my hands.  I don't want this war Don't let me leave Stop.  I'm throwing up my hands.  Waving the White Flag ...
