December Twenty





I was listening to "Back to December"

And guess who did I remember 

It was you in all your glory

It was us and our love story

I remembered how I broke your heart

So cruel with piercing hard dart

We cried all night, December Twenty

I could have tried more and done plenty

But I am so selfish and so cruel

And I always end everything like a fool

I am not as brave in love as Juliet

Can't run and let go of the brilliant 

I was too proud to let my guard down

And wait for you to come to my town

But today I listened to "Back to December"

And you are the only face I remember 

I have fallen for stupid reasons 

Followed boys for all four seasons 

But the love that we always shared

Never came back to me to be spared

Had you not hurt me just enough?

Didn't I just hurt you so rough?

Why do your eyes still shine like that

Every time you look at me when we chat

I am not at all good for you and me

I am so bad and it just kills me

Don't look at me like we'll ever fix

I'll always be your casual friendly ex

Just forgive me if you ever can

And I'll just jump with some other man

But I'll listen to "Back to December" every night

Just to remember you for some little light!

"He was never yours"

Days run into nights and I lay here Clothed body with my naked soul Still watching your surprised stare Stuck in our memories, what a fool Writing poetry every other night Pouring my heart on blank sheets Searing words, sharp and bright Drawing a broken heart's beats My girls now tired of delusional stories Reading a new poetic mess each day But I can't stop writing our glories About charm and, your mannered way Running out of new words now Yet staining papers, spilling ink Ending teary eyes everyday, how? Asking myself if you ever think Feeling childish and futile emotions They warned me, "Don't you fall!" But I ignored all their red cautions Now I stay awake, waiting for a call "You deserve better," she reinforced Screaming I said, "But he is the one" Lover's delusions left her concerned How can I convey, I love him a tonne? I beg the moon and all the shiny stars Bring back the night he was but mine Skies reply, "Dear, he was never y...

Lovers' Game

  Summer nights, winds weird and quiet  Should've known our time just wasn't right Just couldn't see you leaving peacefully  Wish I could've let you go on more gracefully Scream yes or say you don't feel the same Don't want to play this cruel lovers' game You can walk away just because I'm a mess But forgive my impatience with your calmness Promise I'll play and follow your every rule I'll play the one who needs to act the fool Of course, I'll wait here for you forevermore  And I'll never dare to shut my heart's door Hearing your footsteps I'll again let you in This is a lovers' game, I'll always let you win Some rules might break as I mend broken fate It's okay if you can't love me, just never hate Written on 10/03/2024

All Too Well (My Version)

 I walked on the track with you The air was cold But somethin' 'bout it felt like own somehow And I, left my scarf there at Civil class And you've still got it on your table even now Oh, your sweet disposition And my wide-eyed gaze We're acting in the play, getting lost backstage Tamarind leaves falling down like pieces into place And I can picture it after all these days And I know it's long gone, and that magic's not here no more And I might be okay, but I'm not fine at all 'Cause there we are again on that little college street You almost fell face first 'cause you were looking over me Wind in my hair, I was there I remember it all too well Photo album in your phone Your cheeks were turning red You used to be a little kid with glasses in a soldier costume And you are telling stories 'bout your mother and team You told me 'bout your fam thinking your future was me And you were tossing me the career keys "Fuck the Patriarchy" keych...
