Shipwreck

Another hand in your hand, Another (in)significant in your head
Another temporary kiss, Another ghost in your bed

To touch but not to feel, To strike fear in romance,
To threaten emotion, To throw commitment in the gutter

Learning to say 'no' to one who comes knocking
Learning to stop the heart from falling

Struggling to come up for air, dying to live
Struggling not to care too much, diving in indecision

Smiles yet to be shared, Tears ought to remain hidden
Smiles to hide the piercing thoughts, Tears - a sign of weakness

To live with a time-bomb hanging over your heart
To die with each second it ticks - killing you slowly

You think there is none but your own gratification
You think others need to follow your own rules

Selfishly taking from another who gives selflessly
Sensitivity owing nothing after you get what you want

You sucked from the nectar and seeped blood instead
You drank the wine to the very last drop, then set the bottle aside

A vile, stone-cold rock disguised in a human body
A cruel, empty crack hole - your painful excuse for a soul

You breathed life into one that was barely breathing
You then cut off the source with careless euthanasia

I could wish you all the best, but you don't deserve it
I could wish you'd someday change, but I won't hold my breath.

Winter Sunshine

Winter sunshine spreads over the bed we lay on,
Silent whispers beneath the blanket of dreams,
Scarcely waiting for moments to come to an end,
Swift goodbyes with stolen glances threatening to look back.
Thoughts that could appeal with words never to be uttered,
Words left unsaid to never make promises bound to be broken.
Sleep well baby, as I warily kiss the shell that surrounds your being,
Sleep sound baby, no need for a kiss goodnight cause I'll see you in the morning.
