Detachment

The detachment from poison was bittersweet There was nothing left I seldom return to this place Inside myself she cries to me Like an inner child The old me How naive I was to think there was a cure from time To obliterate the demons of my past Banishing the bleak reality from my life […]

Bird On The Rooftop

I want to be that bird on the rooftop Looking down on her nest in the tree I want to live a simpler life Where everything seems to be free I love everything that comes with this life But why is it such a sacrifice Just because we are a higher part of the chain […]

On Reflection

Am I happy within myself Or do I exist for someone else? I’m not an open book to read Nor a garment I fall apart at the seams Fragile more than hardened Yet you will find my heart poured over my sleeves. I can be so loud yet so quiet So enigmatic yet transparent They […]

Where have you gone

Jump over my feelings Love our troubles away That’s how we used to do it Now I wouldn’t know what to say I had everything I ever wanted Least I thought I did You never finished what you started I feel scared to ask but you promised There was nothing we could not overcome Why […]

Am I happy?
