I know you’ll just be okay When you work Till your whole being shivers With exhaustion And your eyes cloud With salty perspiration And you push yourself Into that one last lap And keep pushing for another- And yet another. I know you won’t fall; That much faith is essential. And, wherever you trip, You don’t tread on again. With all those lessons You’ve learned on your way, You know you’ll just be okay.
We miss out days of our lives Slipping into oblivion Of unrequited words That were better off unsaid, Screamed our judgement Every time our eyes met. Not a word escaped Through the iron gates. Our inhibitions, The castle’s gargoyles. Holding us back, Holding us down Underwater Till the world turned ugly, Bleak and stinking Of death; The same as how you lay In my arms Unmoving and unfeeling And now, now, Those sly words break free What use are those barriers now, When you don’t exist anymore? /written at the loss of a love unsaid/
