Solo Red Night


My head is resting in my chin; but I’m not dozing 
My heart is squeezing to scream but only squeaky 
My mouth mumbles to tumble; trying to utter something
But I can’t find the words; my sentences are deranged

The world around me is happy, cherry exciting it is 
Everyone is celebrating, laughing; toasting to happiness
Warm hugs exchanges hearts; smiling lips cloud my sight
Yet no one is smiling at me, a solo island in a night of red; I’m alone

My eyes are reddening with tears; I can hold the dam no more
Put on a brave face, I say to myself, don’t show them your pain
But within me is an intolerable burning pain; a frosty fire 
An unruly desire to be happy; to be lost in his daunting arms

I’m alone on a red night; my love is not on the radar
Where is Cupid? Aphrodite? Will anyone hear my prayer?
Will anyone comfort me? I’m alone on the most romantic night of the year
With nothing but a bottle, my memories and this frozen chocolate from six years ago

If you could feel this pain, share this tear; bear a fraction of my hell
Taste the emotions and salt each drop of my tears carry

Walk in my lonely shoes; feel the cold embrace of your shadow dancing with you
Your jaws will drop in rue; you would mourn me

It’s a couple’s night, yet all I have is my imaginations 
My sad memories and hopes run wild, merging, trying to console me 
Yet the pain of loneliness; the feeling of being unwanted, unappreciated, unloved
Burns hot in my chest; branding my soul, sinking the last of my dignity

I quiz myself; how long will I dine in solitude? When will I be without tears?
If there is soul mate for everyone then in which cave is mine hiding?
Will I ever wake to a smile I can call my own? Will I wake to his greeting?
Who will wipe my tears and take my hand? Send me dancing in the stars 

My head rests in my chin; my thoughts diverge but converge on my solo pain
I’m alone on Val’s; there is nothing I can do, wailing can’t stitch my shuttered heart 
I can only pray for warm tomorrow; I can only hope  
Hopefully next year, I will wrap my hands around him and dance on the tears of joy

Remember

The leaves wilt Soon the season will tilt The world will cease to a halt A new beginning glim in sight The past shakes In the distance, yesterday fades Slowing dying in noon’s shade Disappearing into the distance cascade We match forward Ne're turning around, only onward But my minds eye doesn't fail I recall every detail From hello to adios Through hug to lies From kiss to kicks Warm hands to cold pecks We watched the sun set on the horizon Too bad I allowed it to set on our belonging Without an anchor we drifted into comparison And lost all sense of loving I'm not asking for a third chance Neither am I asking for another dance True I dreaming of an awakening glace But I only ask, you remember the opening fence

Black hole

Why does it hurt so much? Why does every waking moment feel like an endless torture  The deafening screams of my heart is silent to all  None hears me, none connects with me, none feels me    I try to hold a smile but it’s a mirage, blanketing my sorrow  I try to hold myself, but I’m hollow  I see laughter all around me, but none with me  Eyes stare but only through me    They say there is light at the end of a tunnel  This is no tunnel I am falling, I keep falling, deep into the abyss I keep falling  Into a black hole    I feel the weight of every tic, every toc  My eyes are dried out, every tear drop burns  My hopes dashed, my dreams, a waking nightmare  The canvas of my life is blackened out   My hands are stretched out Screaming for someone to reach out, anyone?  Praying to the endless, crying to be pulled from this quicksand  But my prayers are unheard and I’m hanging by a thread       MannyUchiha

Thank you Mum, I Iove you

She says I was gifted from heaven An answer to a prayer; a blessing from the most high That drew a smile, got her singing like she was high Made her dance from dawn till dawn But she couldn’t be more wrong   For I am the one who struck a pot of gold To have you gifted to me, born to you To experience the essence of your immortalised love From where do I begin, which memory do I recall first? Which hug do I ping as the warmest? The motivation, the support, the love, OMG the food I couldn’t list all even if I had an ocean of ink I remember the sacrifices you made for me Ensuring I never went to bed hungry Stayed by my side when I was unwell, pampered me like a prince And kissed me good night when I drifted into dreams I’m sorry for the hell I rained on you   I thought you were nag bug, a leech to my peace, scolded me because you could I didn’t get it then; wish I did but now I do and I'm glad you did I know you forgave, you forgot but I haven’t, I’m sorry
