Love somebody
As I have loved you -

Be loved again
As I have loved you -

I hope I love once more
As I have loved you -

And may I be loved
As I have loved you -

Time -
The magic wand of eternity.
Though logic bound
You find the twists -
A moment that lasts a lifetime
And the one that doesn't really exist.

A moment that is my eternity
May be your nothing.
Logic bound -
Though logic free.

Oh sweet giving time
When will your enchantments
Leave me misery free?

Or is it up to me alone -
To create new memories?

You never remember
The conversations we have together.
I hold them so close to heart –
Like precious rare gem stones.

You always gaze vacantly
At that little buzzing screen.
As I open up and pour my heart to you
You are lost in a world faraway

Perhaps if I text you
You’d remember these moments too.

No mother I don’t want to go out to play!
I want to stay here, locked away!
I don’t want to play with the others outside,
In here is my kingdom, all I need is my mind!

I’d never thought of seeing you again
My mind too crammed to believe
In such distasteful possibilities.

Yet there you stood
In all your pathetic glory –
Imitating the successful knight
Of children’s stories.

They crowded around you
Smiles, laughter and love.
I stared on in disbelief and disgust.

My foolish innocence never void
I thought a sight of me
May change your mind –
Or display a shred of humanity.

The unhesitant look you gave me
Will forever haunt my twisted soul.

I know what you did.
How could you continue to live like this?

When left alone
Late at night
The voices of my mind
Being my only
Lonely plight –

I oft wonder
Do I love you?
Is it a feeling
Imbedded deep within
My soul?

Or a lust?
To be your bed maiden
Your late night
Lure?

Is there a “we”?
A heart spoken
Us?

Or is all this
Just a “madness
Coated in my lust?

Why do you choose to leave -
When I need you most to stay?



Why do I choose to love you –
When you never say it back?


Why is it beside you,
I wish I'd always lay?
