Paper-thin



I felt stripped down,
Helpless,
And the echoes of the words you said to me are still ringing in my ears,
I think about it every day,
Then at night I start to wonder who am I,
And where did I come from,
And what am I supposed to be doing with my life?
I came from nowhere,
And that's where I will end probably,
You said I broke you,
And he fixed you,
And I say;
I would run away to him too if I were you.
I remember spending hours with you,
Staring at the pale moon as we discuss our future,
The names of our daughters and sons,
And how we would always hold on to each other,
And never let go of each other.
I had my universe in your soul,
The stars in your eyes,
I would bring you flowers from the mountains,
Write you a thousand poems,
Fight the monsters you hid under your bed,
Just to see you happy.
But the collision of my universe and yours was not as sweet as we have imagined,
And even that I found heaven in your bed,
And hell in my head,
We both could have made it,
But you were stuck in the past,
While I was trying to drag you into my future.
It seems that when you packed your bags,
You took my laughter with you,
I've fallen before,
But not like this,
I can't feel the wind anymore,
My wings cannot be uncurled again,
I became quiet but not blind,
I can still see the pain coming.
You forgot all the good things about me,
And now that you are gone,
How long do I have to wait for good things to come?

Steps Into Shadows

I stood at the edge of my mind’s maze, a place I’d tried to leave behind. Each door led somewhere I’d once passed through, abandoned but ne...
