Not a surrender, but a compromise.

I don’t make promises.

I am neither committed enough to keep them,

Nor reckless enough to make them.

Self-awareness tells me that

Should someone place trust in me,

I shall twist their words

To always work in my favour.

But in the spirit of personal entrapment,

I shall promise this:

When the world approaches me with caution,

Braced for a fight,

And tells me that I am being evicted,

I shall thank her for the time she has given me,

And walk alongside her with gratitude.

The Night

Some days,

I wish this darkness would leave.

I wish that this night,

Having weaved its way throughout the clouds,

To paint the sky

And everything around me

In monochrome,

Would seep back into Pandora’s Box

And stay there.

She tastes like every dark thought I’ve ever had.
