I am fine, everything is fine oh, I am doing great No, it’s been amazing ! – all lies, lies that sell too easy, because the world- too busy to spot the lines, beneath those eyes the dried trail of tears besides the lips, curved in a fake smile because the world- too busy in […]
sunsets
As I sit here, the waves touching my feet, a kiss on the skin, then a retreat; Looking at the orange canvas I recall how my mother always told me not to click sunsets, whenever I showed her a sunset picture, she would go on and on about how she always believed and felt often […]
the park bench
She was in the park by seven anxiously waiting, hoping he would come early today, looking at the corner bench – their usual seat worried, would it be easy to leave all this behind and run away to a faraway world away from the memories that clawed to her heart, run away to somewhere they […]
