You and I were alone together
Eyes cast on the beggarly riches
That graced with fairy tales
Though like a virgin hearing marriage
Rooted comfortable misery
You cheerful pessimist
Am hoping that you were deceptively honest
The deafening silence that crowded your room
Mightier than the heavenly choir
Brought me crash landing down
Begging on my knees
Heels on stone
To stop your cruel kindness
Sometimes I heard your dull soar
Screaming bittersweet through every pore
Yet like a devout atheist
You handed me in though like a historical present
Love is a syndrome
Shallow it goes with each seep
Deep down my bone marrow
Narrow enough thin though an arrow
Settling down a peaceful conquest

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."

Hey, My elder sister used to read them to me, and as I grew up, my love for stories only got stronger. I started with books, and now I enjoy reading on different writing platforms. Today, I came here just to read some stories, and that’s when I found your writing. From the very first lines, it caught my attention the more I read, the more I fell in love with your words. So I just had to appreciate you for this beautiful work. I’m really excited to hear your reply!
