The story of Life

Birth, the giver of life.
From the cry of your first wail,
The first breath of air you inhale,
Your life begins an original tale,
Unique in every success and fail.

Pain, the reminder of life.
The physical and mental suffering,
The wounds, the cuts, the bleeding,
The heart and soul, red hot burning,
Life telling you you're still here fighting.

Joy, the purpose of life.
The pure yet incessant bliss,
That none would ever want to miss,
Lost in an eternal ecstasy abyss,
Of life's gentlest, plumpest kiss.

Death, the taker of life.
Our final destination, we part,
Life's final, great work of art,
The crushing of our soul and heart,
The end of all, or a new start?

Love's Irony

The greatest irony of all,
I have eventually learned,
Is you can love with all of your everything,
And never have it returned.
Not that I have ever,
Expected it to be,
For love is about giving,
And not about me.
But it'd sure be nice,
If every now and again,
I had someone of mutual love,
To take away the pain.

Yet realistically? I never will.

And the sooner I accept it,
The better I'll be,
For life still continues,
With or without me.

Darkness

There was the darkness,
and there was me.
There was us,
And nobody.
I faced the darkness,
On my own,
Which means I lost,
All alone.
No torch, no flame,
No source of light.
No way to tell,
If day or night.
Blind, I see not
Where I tread.
Lost forever,
The light I had.

I have given up.

I have given up.
For every losing battle,
Will shake and rattle,
And cost me part of my soul.

I have given up.
And as surely as I will die,
I know this to be right,
I would rather not die
Of love and my thoughts at midnight.

I have given up.
For your intials say
Both kill me and kiss me,
And i didn't know which
I wanted more to be.

It is not that I decided
You weren't worth my time of day,
But rather you decided
I wasn't worth yours,
But I've learnt that it's okay.

So this is the story
Of a love sick pup,
And the tale of how
He has given up.

2015

With the heartbreak aplenty,
Abundant with sorrow,
Let's remember the good,
Start a new year tomorrow,
I've stepped out of hell,
And landed in london,
Settling in well,
A change so sudden,
New friends, new home,
Newfound independence,
Learnt to live without love,
Emotional transcendence,
Moved on from pain,
Held back no longer,
2016 is here,
And I'm facing it stronger.
