Poem:

I’m used to this,

Seeing the light dwindle,

Feeling warmth fade…

Wonder if they ever followed…

As I continued on,

Watching as I put others under that same blade.

Your skin sends chills thorugh my being

Not by any cooling of your body,

Simply because I know it will cool.

My hands usually don’t shake.

Years ago I would have watched fondly,

Now I again became a tool.

Please Understand,

I never wanted your funeral,

Not due to any sunshade.

I hope you know

I’ll be an unbearable scorn

While I mourn

Cause you are everything

I ever needed

Or ever want

Please Forgive Me,

Please Hayati,

I wouldn’t have chosen this.

You know that don’t you?

That’s why you’re smiling,

Because you know there’s more to this story…

Will you follow me Hayati?

Just as I followed you?

Watch as I pull this blade once more?

Poem:

What happened?

Feels like it happened so suddenly.

Where have you gone?

I reach for you,

And there’s only air.

I feel almost abandoned.

I’m familiar with this, being lonely.

This is no new dawn…

But with you?

It’s all unfair.

I am unheartened

Feels like we’re being torn

This seems worse than a snare

Poem:

So quick,

So quiet,

I almost didn't notice

Make my eyes flitter

There’s your life

Short

Our meet

Simply short

Barely a glimpse.

Now my life is stuck in an Eclipse.

Poem:

Remember the night we met

Told you that gimik was taken

You simply smirked and said,

“Not where I’m from.”

Then you bested me

Without so mush as a frustrated glare

It was almost as if you controlled the outcome

Just full of utter glee

And you fled

You certainly has a flare

Decided you were a threat

We were so brazen
