Sinistered Romance

I wish I could get away with the stories I heard,

It is playing all over my head like a broken record

I am always reminded

I am always reprimanded

With the thoughts of cruelty

Tragic Love Story of my friend

I wish I could obliterate these abstractions from my head.

I wish I could vanish and just play dead

But how I wish badly is not to experience this.

This sinistered romance that sabotaged my friend’s soul.

A Mark On My Heart

You stunned me with your voluptuous smile

You amused me with that look in your eyes

You showed your wings but you didn’t fly

Instead you chose to stay and stand by

Caressed me with your touch

Showered me with your infinite fondness

Indulged me with those saccharine words

But you left me with a Mark On My Heart.
