Life has taken away
all my senses
like that of alcohol
effects of booze reside
for a short period
but your intoxication
doesn't want to go away
it is stuck with me
like a newborn
sticks to her mother
my mind finds no way
to get around you
it keeps coming back
like a moth who is
attracted to the flame
I know this isn't going to
do any good to me
but this is the only
thing that my heart wants
earlier my mind and
heart worked in sync
but it seems like
their ecosystems have changed
deciding not to comply
with each other each other…

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."
