Actualization Accompanied by Pain
Callousness damages the soul.
My heart is devoid of vengeance.
Just a stagnant longing that saturates continually
Unjust circumstances
I'll heal, when I take it upon myself.
How are you regarded?
When I reached for your hands, you shoved them away.
Submerged in my affinity for you
I was appealing to you but only in fragments.
Their effects are intertwined.
I should care more about myself than temporary men.
I used to be gullible but then,
I noticed everything I learned.
Depth to emotions is taxing.
Clarity for the self
Is necessary
Without it, growth cannot happen.
I planted knowledge on top of my past mistakes and behold
a meadow grew.
I loathe acting without a sense of direction.
What a waste.

Any Questions
Maybe I never loved you, maybe I did, maybe I was caught up on how I lived. Maybe my dreams turned into fears, maybe you were the one to make it better, maybe I wanted this forever. Maybe I cared, maybe you didn’t, maybe I made promises before committing. Maybe it was you since 2008, maybe it was me, because I wanted to be great. Maybe I hurt you, because maybe you lied, maybe you destroyed me on the inside. Maybe I was bruised, maybe it was abuse, maybe my promiscuous ways made us fuel. Maybe it was mayhem, maybe it was childhood, maybe everything will never be all good. Maybe I needed to elevate, maybe it was God. Maybe it was all the time you spent with her, maybe it was marriage, maybe it was babies and carriages, maybe it was us sitting in the tree, maybe it was the chirping of my tweetle Lee Lee. Maybe it was love songs, maybe it was magic, maybe I should’ve waited for this tragedy. Maybe I’m embarrassed, maybe you’re ashamed, maybe love is just a runner’s game. Maybe I give, maybe you don’t, maybe I’ll care, maybe you won’t. Maybe you’ll come back, maybe I’ll pray, maybe there’s love in another way. Maybe your name means more than you think, maybe the time we spent doesnt change the way we seek. Maybe the heart’s were meant to break, maybe none of us are who we say. Maybe it’s over, maybe it’s just begun, maybe it’s because we were young. Maybe in time, maybe forever, all I know is that maybe isn’t never.
