Intruder

I am an intruder

I didn’t know

The room was occupied

You should have

Put on a ‘don’t disturb’ sign

Not a ‘clean me up’ hint

I’m sorry for hogging

I didn’t know

It was meant for sharing

But I didn’t want to share;

It’s either mine or nothing at all

I didn’t want to dwell with the affair

I am an intruder

No matter what you say

I know I’m not

Playing fair

Wishing for a perfect play

It was all delusional snares

My Story

This is my story

A melodrama-corny

A tragic incident

A burnt heart- not quite

Forever a quitter

Couldn’t stand a man

Rebounded as a lover

Who hands too slippery

To hold and stay close

Sweet-talking; he’s smouldering

With bitter lips that sink

Deeper than conversing

Pretends to be delighted

Act like you’re not lonely

The fact you’re always crying

The moment he’s gone and

You hold his clothes so tight

As you cuddle it every night

You wish you’re with him

When the truth he’s blending

With someone rather important

Leaving your heart dormant

Such a pathetic dying serpent

This is my story

A melodrama–corny

Home II

You’re like

Home

Safe and peaceful

It sounds so

Lunacy

But with you

It’s worth

Of this scathe

Scrapped all

This act

Of not letting

You detect

How the longing

I’ve been fake

Hoping you’d stay

Not making me sway

Of push and pull

But deliver it in full

Tell me this is right

Make me believe

This

This is right

Cause’

You’re like home

To me

You are home

Touch

The moment our skin touch
I might want
more from you
I would ask
for a time from you
Your space
Your attention
my entitlement
your commitment
your everything -

are you ready
to risk that touch
for the things
you won't be able
to construct?

You

You're angry
You could have
left and ignore me
but you're just angry
that you once said
I Love You
but got spurned
with 'stupid you'
and never
had you ever
heard a reply
that I ever
said I did
which I had
Had said that
the one with a
'love you too'
only then
I was content
with a lie
that I died
out of love
love of us
being a part
and told you not
to love me
you would be angry
and then you'll leave me
this will be on repeat
always bleed
kept me weak
that's why
you'll never hear me
saying goodbye
with a cry
because I lied
about 'stupid you'
deep beneath
you knew the truth
how I did
once I said
That I do
Loved you too

Write a Poem

write a poem
a poem about
how I told you
I love you
and you couldn't reply
I told you I loved;
you knew I could never lie

and for that
I couldn't
stop smiling
as days go by
