when ever i hear your name
my heart instantly
sinks
to the bottom of a
sea.

a break in routine is necessary
when momentary sadness
becomes ritualistic pain

Maybe it's the way you look at me,
Maybe it's the way you hold me,
Maybe it's the way you care for me,
Maybe it's the way you talk to me,
Maybe it's the way you understand me,
Maybe it's the way we joke around,
Maybe it's the way we love,
Maybe all it is
Is you.

I practise watching your words pass by because
the beauty in selective listening
is the calculated risk of avoiding
barren judgement.

I wrote a letter to you
and you took your time responding.
but when you finally did
you sent a blank page..

one with no intentions to be written on.

Don't bother replying again.

Kind regards

I'm free like the winds
I drift away like the clouds
but always ends up back
where I belong.

Best Friends

Treating me wrong
While I’m treating you right
You say we’re friends
But that’s a lie

I don’t know why
I keep hanging on
Maybe cuz if I didn’t
I’d be all alone

You told me that
I’m your only friend
Supposedly we were friends
Until the end

But I saw you
With another guy
Enjoying yourself
Like you were about to die

Best friends, huh?
Well, I beg to differ
We’re not best friends
Not even a little

I tried, yeah, I tried so hard
To trap you in my broken heart
But you pushed me, yeah, you pushed me away
What is wrong with you? What do I say?

Goodbye? Yeah, that’s what I’ll say
I’m done playing this romantic game
See ya, I’m out of here
I’ll be gone before you start to tear
Best friend

I LIKE TO SAY YOUR NAME

I like to say
your name

when you're
not here

turn you
into sound

conjure you out of
thin air

so that you appear
before me

dressed in sound
only

memory sketching in
the rest of you

as if sound
was just an outline

and love
colours you in

adding the voice last
so I can hear you say.

"Hello you..!"
and there you are

as present
as present

can be.

I like to say
your name

when you're
not there.
