Lazy Day

21:13:00
my head feels very heavy
stacks of pillow cannot
soften it out
random shows on 
TV
i watch whatever that
is played 
wait...
wasn’t that series has 
been aired a few 
months back?
man..give back my money.

Clingy

21:12:00
i hope that you still dance 
with my shadow
toe to toe
arms on her hips
forehead bumping into your nose
lips to kiss

please don’t get angry
when she holds your hand through
every step at the empty sidewalk
don’t be too startled when she hugs you
from the back as you were looking
at ancient exhibits in museums
restrain yourself from puking when she baby talks 
hold yourself back from getting mad at her when she sulks 

you see, 
she was left to walk alone so many times 
she memorises the trail where she picked up the debris of her heart
she stares off into history and wonder why her melancholic past has to be a part of hers
her skin was never touched with tenderness
her voice was never heard 

when you came into her life,
she finally knew the feeling of having company,
and to accompany someone.

I know you don’t like it,
but if you don’t mind me 
asking one last favour, 
please let her have that one dance.
make her have the last laugh
one touch;
a long, warm hug, 
or if you think that is too much, just let her hold your hand tight,
very tight
for one more night.

please let her,
because it is enough for her 
to remember
and for me 
to live with. 








H.I.M.

21:09:00
how 
could 
you?

i was between shying away and drowning myself
in the seven seas
concealing invisible bruises that nearly
made me throw stones to
 the mirror into shatters
as i cut myself from putting my
heart together 

i understand why you had to break mine
because you never had any. 

you brought me closer to God
but it was you that i was worshipping
i was on my knees for you in front of Him,
no wonder He would give you 
such arrogance
to come with mercy
and never leave 
without leaving another scar
on me.

i thought that-
screw my thoughts 
when the truth is shoved right my face
like 
the memories that you keep rewinding
just to keep me leashed beside your throne
but 
God is more than a capital H.I.M.
just as He gave me the love 
and give you the power
He took away the love 
hence demolishing all your powers

all that is left is blazing flames
that burns all of you
and 
returns back all of me.
