Respect

I know today you will be intrigued by my allure,

My intensity wrapped in mystery.

But, the very next day,

You are going to hate me….

Hate me for the mist that swayed you,

Blurred your vision.

One last thing I would like is the dismissal of respect that you have for me.

So I remain plain, I stay placid…

Flat like a lowland,

So that your emotions don’t flood my ground.

And, you don’t get to climb the heights that were not meant for you.

Useless labor!

See, Adrian,

I have saved both your and my time-

That we value.

The worth of love is written with high stakes,

If only you intend to stay genuine.

The unfulfilled dream of mine keeps me awake and fuels me to think.

Think deeper than the ocean blue.

My anguishes in blue takes another form of hue,

If only you could understand the cue.

See Adrian, I don’t like explorations,

But, I know without moving to a new destination, I won’t be able to find you.

Why don’t you believe in people anymore?! – Cause, I don’t want anyone to exploit my reason. How’s that like?!

You were a beautiful chain whom I binded myself with, You were a self-built cage where I imprisoned myself, You

Audacity

Oh, the audacity of leaving the person you love! To walk away with steady feet, While their heart still trembles
