Lie to Me.

The light, it burns my soul.
The silence, it deafens me.
Closed eyes, closed minds.

I don't want to know.
I don't want to feel.
Waking up feels like demise.

Reliving those nights, by closing my eyes.
Your eyes tracing my back,
 As I walked away.

The footsteps, still echo,
 I can't remember
What did you always say?


What did you always sing?
I hum your tunes, like I used to then.
Sometimes, I just dance to no song.

I see you walk, down the street.
I see you look at me and leave.
Hasn't it already been too long?

Won't you look at me, won't you ever?
Won't you talk, or smile?
Don't look at me and make me unseen.

Silences drown me in wisps of smoke.
If there is nothing good left to say,
Just. Lie to me.

A conscious storm.

The sky is dark, the clouds roll in,
Languid-each step, every breath.
Lost in my thoughts, I walk in again,
And in my path, stop dead.

Back in those paths, once again.
Back where it all did begin.
Memories flash right before my eyes,
Remembering, missing,sinking in.

The passing wind reminds me
Your breath on my neck, whispering.
Those words unknown to others,
Your voice in my head, ever lingering.

The first time that you touched me,
Every wall, every fear broke down.
The fire that ran through me,
Once again, in that inferno,my heart drowns.

Every smile, every twinkle of your eyes.
Every frown, every wrinkled nose.
I remember,I keep remembering.
Every moment we spent far and close.

The way your kisses left me shaking,
Overcome with emotions, numb.
Every touch, every burning touch.
Every word, to which I'd succumb.

I remember you, and all the lines on your hand.
I remember it all, I remember it all the time.
I remember every laugh we laughed, every tear we cried.
I remember everything, every moonlight and crime.

I remember all the lies, and all the truths and taunts.
I remember all my fears, and all the darkness of my heart.
I remember all our fights, I remember all our tears.
I remember our last kiss, just like the one at the start.

I feel my heart sink, the way it did that day.
The hesitating hands, the uncomfortable embrace.
 Wanting to melt away, into you, as always.
The look in your eyes, the tears on my face.

I reminisce,I muse.
I recollect, I surrender.
Surrender to the past,
 Pieces in entirety I remember.

Every little thing reminds me of you,
Every passing breeze, every blurred face.
I go whirling down memory lane.
Lost in this torpor, in you, always.

I let these memories of mine,
Like water wash over me, over my mind.
And just as water, uncaptured by hand,
I pass lifeless through the clutches of time.

This bittersweet pain that your memories leave,
I wish these rains would wash it away.
This nostalgia, it's very becoming of me.
There is nothing left,on my lips,is just your name.

Nevermore.

Fingers entwined, they walk the roads,
Their roads, their paths, their secret windows. 
 Nothing trembles, there are no chills;
A pleasant, warm sun shines through.

In a town, where rains are rare,
A calm sun shines all through the day.
No winds that blow away the dust,
That settles in the yellowing dog-eared books.

They sit together, and eat, and talk,
They walk together, like hands of a clock.
Nothing to keep them apart, not them.
Just time, each day, perhaps.

He watches her go, he watches her work,
He watches her smile, an infrequent perk.
She leaves on his arm, full glory of the Sun,
Steals glances at the sky, won't no cloud come?

Another day,a bright sun, and no rain.
An empty dance floor, she sighs once again.
Lonely, she knows, he won't make it.
And finds his arm, outstretched, waiting.

"One dance" he asks, and smiles and waits,
"One dance", she thinks, and hesitates.
Brown eyes, so warm, and yet so cold.
She takes his hand, and off she goes.

In maybe a blink of an eye, that one just turned to many,
They danced, they laughed, they sang, all the while drinking a-plenty.
He was no where to be seen, and suddenly he'd always been there.
The clouds were dark and heavy, but somehow, she didn't care.

The storm that started then, dead pages it did resurrect,
Fingers and souls, turned and twisted, together, perfect.
The clink of her ring falling was drowned in the sounds,
Of the patter of the rain drops, against their broken breathing.

The cold winds blowing everything away and together,
The dark and wet night, the sudden change of the weather.
The careless laughs, the uninhibited frenzy.
The unknown emotions, intoxication, the ecstasy.

When the clouds cleared, she knew she had to leave.
He knew she'd go back to him, no point in any plea.
There were no words, no promises, no need for any.
Forever the memories, forever the fervor, and yet, nevermore.
