• Oh what of that laughing child,One which danced its days by,One that sang of tales anew,One that’s fails meant it “grew”.And of the fun it had?Gone with the wind, that.What did it think it knew,Was it leading an unknown crew?I asked that laughing child one day,Who smiled at me in dismay.That one sentence, it said,Might

  • You and Me

    I have always missed you,But even if Fate deemed it so,I would never go back to you.I long for the ease That being with you,Has always given me.Yet I would cut off my arm,Before I reached out to you,To help soothe me.It didn’t have to end this way,Yet it’s the only way this could have

  • Fighting

    Pleading to an empty room,It’s hard to keep from shaking.Hoping, praying for relief,Shackled to all my demons.Railing against a set fate,Drowning with my worst demons.Fighting relentlessly to breach the surface,Hope’s a cruel mockery.I let my voice fade away,A hand reaches, far too late. – Arsh
