Can't...
Monika Oct 2017
Can't you just sleep forever,
where you can dream whatever?
Dream good things, like teddy bears.
Dream bad things, but you don't care.

Can't today just be a dream,
where all things feel as they seem?
What you think is what is there.
What you fear will never scare.

Can't each day just come and pass?
Since memories won't long last.
Days of laughter, days of pain.
Days I cherish, all in vain.

Can't this pain just go away?
Never helped me anyway...
Just to make me feel okay,
my life's a small price to pay.

Chess
Monika Oct 2017
Sixteen pieces
Build a kingdom

One piece moving
Moves the kingdom

One piece falling
The kingdom falls
The kingdoms fall

The kings then fall

Night Sky
Monika Oct 2017
As I look upon
the stars of the summer night,
my soul fades away.

Wake
Monika Oct 2017
Waking up
I condense my thoughts
Back into a single package, my head,
Before I start the day ahead.

The Tomb
Monika Oct 2017
Time stops.
On an afternoon.
Making it eternal.
Because it's a special
moment.

In a classroom,
just the two of us,
I was about to leave.
You tugged on my sleeve.
You confessed.

I am dazed.
I never thought.
That you and I feel
the same. Wish became real.
I accepted.

But then,
you woke me up.
From this sudden dream,
oh cruel twilight gleam.
Lament.

— The End —
