I cease to breathe
I cease to breathe at the thought that I have to leave
I am seized, left, right and centre by emotions that I don't want to believe
I have been sitting here, camping here, dwelling here
Among the graves waiting for our resurrection
Thinking that somehow I could revive this love and make you revise
How can the pain not be the same?
How can the same tree bear bad fruit for me and good fruit for you?
How can these two hearts break unevenly?
If this was a sin why are we not burning in the same lake of fire?
I heard that life was unfair but I thought death was the one with a sting.
But now I gather my rags ready to make my way back home
I have been living in this desolation and in ruins
Mourning for a soul that is happily in heaven
That will never turn around or even look back in my eyes
He is gone. He is gone and he will never again be mine
I try to drink up the color as I make my way home
Just to add pinkness to my soul but it battles to go down my throat
Battles to go past this lump that has made my throat its home
But it doesn't matter because I'm on my way home again
I have sat here, camped here, dwelt here
In hope of a less greyer day tomorrow
But now I'm going home. I'm going in search of my happy self
I yearn, I yearn for the days when we played
/ When we would never think of going to bed before we prayed
/ The only stress being a worry over a lost toy, but never lost hope because
/ Daddy would buy me another one and here is another one
/ Another one of those poems that makes you yearn
/ Yearn for the sign in to read more »
He looks at me and smiles, I look at him and smile back
/ I know exactly what he is thinking, I know exactly where he wants to put me
/ In a corner somewhere, where I can stare at him all starry-eyed and wide-mouthed
/ Where I can hopelessly fall in love with him while getting played on the side
/ I sign in to read more »
It always baffles my mind when we do this to our own kind
/ We preach of sisterhood yet we wear the devil's hood
/ If maybe I could rewind and maybe be born from the male kind
/ Then maybe I would not be saying this: The devil is a woman

/ Remember how you told her about your new man,
/ How he loved sign in to read more »
