Forbidden Love

Could it be
possibly
time to trust again?


Could it happen
in reality
that I should love again?


Not possible.
I can't.


I've been hurt
& back-stabbed.
My ability to love
has been crippled.
For life.



My broken heart
Had formed an
Iron shell. It
Cannot soften again.


Then how come
I feel drawn
to him?


Adoration & affection:
Feelings I had
denied myself
long ago.


So why do I care
what is to become
of him?

Schizophrenic

Hmmmm...I could only say I was a troubled teenager at the time!
But seriously, I wrote this when I noticed how much I've changed over the span of 3 years. I didn't really like myself at the time..
***

Are you and I the same anymore?
We look so much alike,
Yet, the difference is amazing.
Look at you
& look at me.
I've destroyed you,
Your innocence,
Your purity,
Everything.
I've changed you,
your feelings,
your thoughts.
I stole away
everything you had,
your dreams,
your ambitions.
& I'm sorry.
I'd do anything
For you now.
But is it too late?
I'd return the things
I took - any how.
I don't care what it takes.
I don't care what it costs
Coz I want you back.

I want me back!

Circle of Life

Wahby and I were sitting at the park, waiting for the rest of the group to show up...then he said something about how the tree blocking our view was suddenly naked...and so I wrote...

They crunched angrily
Beneath my feet.
Mad at nature
For their time has
Come to an end.

This season, the trees
Will stand naked, bare
In the bitter cold.
As their garments
Have been ripped & torn
& shredded brutally
Against their will.

Now there is room
For the new, soft
& fresh green clothing.

It's all part of the
Circle of life.
We die & rot in
The earth & leave
Space for the imports
Sent in women's wombs.
