Do you ever think about all the people who you might have fallen in love with

Do you ever think about all the people who you might have fallen in love with if only you’d taken a different way home or stood a little longer in the bread aisle at the supermarket? All the people who might have been an intergal part of your life but instead you’ll never know them. The unimaginable impact that our mundane choices have on our lives really gets to me. Think of how many times i might have died if I’d made different choices. Maybe I’d be homeless. Maybe I’d be famous. Maybe I’d be rich. Sometimes I’m so overwhelmed by the impact of my choices that I can’t choose anything at all because I’m afraid today will be the day that i make the choices that changes everything.

    Sometimes my mind goes there for a brief moment….in the sense of who would I be today if I hadn’t suffered the things I did when I was young….soon I realize the pointlessness of it and move on.

Forgiveness After The Storm

The muse of poetry in its depths stalls the ensue of thee,Drowning in the sparse spectacle of hope left, one dives into the waters of misery.Triabilsing in the painful stance of existence, death in its allure creeps behind,To be or not be in the bane of tormenting breaths, in their truth one seems to find,

The hostility that binds, convulsion in its gloating flair laughs hysterically at the corpse of being,Dreariness to live in its slow burn writhes the only ounce of light left to see.The void of embracing the freshness of unadulterated air forges to question the beauty,Of living a life that could lead in the lightness of radiance and the smiles of unbridled glee.

The trueness of being lapses in the oscillation of turbulence and the sea of calm,Yet the tides of uncertain syllables that breed animosity render the sou

You Left Me Standing In The Brink Of Despair

You left me standing in the brink of despair

You left me standing in the brink of despair.To me no one or nothing could ever compare.My tortured heart will still go on, even if the love is gone..You never really left.A tortured heart is a slow dying death.

I Used To Find Peace In You

I used to find peace in you

I used to find peace in youNot until you shattered my heart.Whenever we cross paths,My heart begins to ache.Your presence irritates my demon.

I Always Feel My Words Before I Express Them

I always feel my words before I express them

I always feel my words before I express them.So easily for it to be conveyed.But suddenly, my words couldn’t hold water.It is beginning to fade away.I am on a free lance.
