They say: Bravo!
You've such a way
Of weaving words
Fictional fantasies
Intricate fallacies
That we believe
A skillful wordsmith
You scribble lies
That make us feel
As if love is real
You paint a world
Extravagant…
Nonexistent...
Unreal…
And somehow
We can't evade
Its keen appeal
Dear author
Well deserved
Bravo!

Unworthy ‘Bravo’
If only they know
The painful truth
Is not for show
I write because
I need a purpose
For days awoken
My chest is hollow
Meaningful words
No longer spoken
A silent language
Is all I have left
From years of talking
Without your eyes
Without your light
Without your love
I'm but a shadow
Of night unbroken
I write because
I am afraid…
To lose my words
To lose my mind
To lose you again
And be forsaken
