Ride To Hell

I can't just tap out of this relationship
Of this one way ride to hell 
I've missed all my stops
Because you never let me out

It's just you and I against the world
That we can only see through the looking glass
I'm strapped in while you're zooming fast
Leaving all my responsibilities in a blurr

You need to learn to let go
Because every time I get a hold of a pole
You make it silently slither away
Till I fall flat on the ground 

You're there to pick me up
But you can't drive this ride and care for me
Concurrently
But why didn't I break the glass
When the hammer was in my hands?

Red

Your lips drip heavy with paint
As your brush them against my skin
My skin was a yellow canvas
And your love was an elusive red

We turned into an orange sunset
Of a love that had just begun
I couldn't recognize myself
Now that I'm orange, I can't run

So I accepted the fact
That this is what I am now
But the orange went through darker hues
And I ended up being red

I got so carried away
And I let you consume me
I was never wary of where your lips threaded
Now I lay with the word 'fool' embedded

Hoping is hopeless

It's no use dropping salt into an ocean
To stop the sun from shining
Although you hope
That it would just stop
So you can lay in the cold cold dark
And just ponder about everything
How you want to take back everything
To go back in time
And maybe change the circumstances
But, every single decision you made got you here
So you brought this upon yourself
And you just hope that it won't rain
Even after you've seen dark clouds
Why do you do this to yourself?
It's useless, pointless, hopeless
No point in wishing
Fairytales only exist in books
Or in movies
Unrealistic expectations you set for yourself
Just stop hoping and wishing
Can't you see it's useless?
Can't you see you're hopeless?

K.V.D.

The Dance

The warmth of your hands meet mine
Twirl me around as I look into your eyes
I'll watch your eyes sparkle in the dim light
Hold me closer

As the song begins
Let the beat be my lifeline
As we dance across the halls
It's just you and I

I know the song is short
But all I want to do is dance with you
As the song ends
You leave me behind to watch you walk away

With each step I get hurt
I knew I would fall in love if I danced with you
Could we dance again
Maybe somewhere in forever

The Sun

You're like the sun
Giving your kisses
Keeping your distance
As you gently leave my skin sunkissed
With each kiss warm and comforting
So I resist moving
Despite knowing the outcome
The longer I stay
The more it hurts
As your kisses become more harsh
I have to leave
Please understand I can't stay
Take your glaring eyes off me
As my skin is left sunburnt
You had to leave
Only to come back the next day
And remind me of how
You're warm and comforting

Stardust Sailor

I am a stardust sailor. I sail through the dust of what we were. The complete remnants of our memories that continue to swirl in my mind. Sometimes with only a few specs and other times with a swarm of glitter all too fast like how it all ended.

I follow the stardust that leads me to where you are. Somewhere in the stars.
You are a warmth that I have longed for more than anything else. The whole world was blue the moment you left and continued to change to darker shades of cold.

With your fading trace of stardust I quicken my pace. Hoping that the wind of change would once again direct my sails to you. However, the air remains cold and still. As all the stardust fades away and I realise all this time I've been sailing for nothing because you're gone.

Abstract Art

You are an abstract work of art
Everybody has their different opinions
To how your blend of stokes and personality
Are either beautiful or messy

Some may hate you
Others may love you for what you are
Someone who changes the way they see the world
With the swirls of your hair

I have never understood art
So that's why I never figured you out
How some days you're such a joy
And others you're confusing

But I do hope
That through the sketches
And the many colours
You love how you painted yourself
