What happens behind closed doors
Can still be heard

it's stupid to feel sad
especially over things that don't matter

but it is more stupid to feel sad
over things that has ended

it's stupid to miss someone
who already left you

and it's stupid to hurt yourself
with the melancholy of it

the sadness within being fed
with its delicious meal;
your soul.

why do we choose to be sad
when we can entirely ignore?

we all need sadness
don't deny it.
it is a drug
unmentioned by anyone
but needed by everyone.

you can say
you want to be happy all the time
but i can see it in your eyes, dear.

you're longing for that
medium-sized sadness
and contentment included in it.

you're stupid
and you need sadness.

try.
try to deny me.
true?
The day I had to leave was the worst day of my life. Waking up to the sun shining in your room, the roaring sound of the morning city travelers, and the quiet sound of your breathing filled the empty room. Laying there, waiting for you to wake up, I found myself staring at the white stale ceiling, realizing that this was our last day. This is the last day I will see your eyes stare into mine with the same sadness as if someone you knew just died. The ache I feel in my heart has me thinking that you could be the one. Our quiet awkward breakfast of bad coffee and burnt toast had me feeling like this was a bad ending to an awful breakup. But in reality it was worse. Leaving someone you love has a harder impact than leaving someone you just like. The walk to your car felt like I was walking the plank on a ship that I never thought I would be leaving. The drive through the city was not as exciting and colorful as it was before. It felt so grey and dull. It was as if me leaving has drained all of the color out of the world just leaving us the simple color of grey. As we pulled up to my house, we were both as quite as a mouse. We were both scared on the idea that in a few months, maybe even a few weeks, things might be different. Our lives are changing so fast that we might not be able to keep up with each other. As we were saying our goodbyes I held in my tears for I was afraid to show you how weak I really felt. Our last hug made me realize that the smell of your favorite cologne will only linger on me for so long. When you drove away the tears started to roll down my face as if there was a grey dreary rain storm only above my face. Ever since that day things have been different and not always in the best. I still wake up every morning to the sun shining in my room, the roaring sound of college kids going to class, and to the sight of my empty bed. Even though the same picture is produced morning by morning. It doesn’t get better. My heart still drops one hundred floors just thinking about the fact that you are gone. Leaving my room will still give me the same feelings I felt on that awful day. Talking on the phone with you every night I still find myself holding in the tears just like that day. When we hang up that grey dreary rain storm comes back and it lingers above my face. Eventually, the day will come where we can meet again, but until then I guess everyday will be the worst day of my life.

Last night i lived
I found my heart racing
Lost in the city
I peered deep into the darkness
Possibilities endless
Ceasing only when my own fear conveyed itself
But I kept going
And I found myself
In a theatre
Searching for you
And when I finally found you
I lost all words

The sky was blue and beautiful
Then suddenly the clouds became dark
You didn't tell me you'd come
I felt your raindrops into my skin

Now I am soaking wet
But then longer and longer,
I'm starting to enjoy your company
Now I wish you'll stay

Been loving you dearly
Suddenly you stopped
You didn't tell me you'd leave
I feel so upset and lonely

If only you told me you'd come
If only you told me you'd leave
I shouldn't love you deeply
Now I'm left alone sad, broken and empty


Without YOU, I'm nothing
Without YOU, my world doesn't exist
If you're there, I am alive
If I find you, I find myself


You are my Mecca masjid (Muslim)
You are my Vatican church (Christian)
You are my Jerusalem synagogue (Jews)
You are my Banaras temple (Hindus)
You are my Gaya stupa (Buddhist)
You are my Khajuraho Parsvanath (Jains)
You are my Amritsar Gurudwara  (Sikhs)

I wander to every place of worship
I read every scriptures and pray
I am pathos of your LOVE
Chanting your name
This is my only purpose of living

Only when you've gone away
I've understood my LOVE for YOU
Don't break the thread of LOVE
I'm delicately tender in your LOVE

The first day back from the summer break and guys without ties have to buy one by Thursday.

I got away with breaking rules with my hair and how tight my trousers were but what are they actually going to say.

It's still summer so why are we even at school? Everyone is tired and just wants to sleep another day.
Kinda **** but I'm tired and it's not even 7pm yet
