Never-again.

Red light, swallow me completely
Break me down, put me together
Douse me in never-shed tears
Teach me how to live again.

Take me away, inhibition: my master
Let me go, let me dive
Into never-shared emotions
Teach me how to live again.

Crack a code, work your body
Tax your mind, stay away
Bow down to never-loved nights
Teach me how to live again.

I am haunted by ideas, outlet
Please arrive: I need a vent
A body never-felt before
Teach me how to live again.

Listen to the quiet, hush. Just
Dance my devils away tonight
Hold this never-dead spirit close
Teach me how to live again.

Pretty face, fragrant hair. Shut
The tragedy down: it's been around
Long enough on never-thought ideas
Teach me how to live again.

Beauty: never-whole.

Black: You and I.

Let me come dressed in black,
For in your love I mourn,
The death of most of who I am.

Let me come dressed in black,
You were the worst thing ever mine,
Now, regret and hate can't take me back.

Let me come dressed in black,
Are you afraid of the colour of the night?
The time you let yourself fuck it up.

Let me come dressed in black,
Everything in wholeness is but one colour,
This is what you mean: dull completion.

Let me come dressed in black,
To help you realize your heart's desire,
All of it is single shades of black and white.

Let me come dressed in black,
Me: Now monochromatic, You: The reason,
Why don't we just step into the night undressed?

(The first word of the second line in each stanza makes up: 'For You Are Everything To Me.')

You, we, I, we, You.

You were so very close

That you were invisible

Now there is void here

An empty space in between

You and I: never together.

We were never one
We came here separately
We now leave alone
As our entwined fingers part
Finding one more perfect hand.

I find our pictures
Tucked somewhere between the book
You left behind open
To a page read too many times
So I flip over to see:

We were laughing like
Worries would never find way
To destroy these smiles
Despite our separation
Despite us being undone.

You seem to have found
One more picture perfect time
With another girl
I knew we would never be
Us: an unsolved mystery.

This post is plagiarized, no?

Smudged histories blend into one another as we sat lovelorn
In an untidy room filled with bright colours, yet colourless souls.

The guitar strumming in the background grew louder
Every passing minute as our eyes stayed fixated, a constant.

The chords sung an unheard melody, the heart skipped a beat
Like the relevance was undeniable. Everyone had same stories
They just told them differently: distorted people, shaded memories..
The world spun faster when we learnt we are fragments of reimaginings
Unoriginal as they can be. There was no truth to us, yet so much significance.

The classroom in the next day's sunshine seemed to move slowly
Each word weighed against another: what's loaded and what's not.
What's right and what's not. Who's here and who'll never be.
If you even existed or you were lie. The farce of life, the truth of us:
We are all plagiarists and no software can ever prove otherwise.

Our stories are never our own, we owe more than we own:
Nothing is ours, never believe it is. It is a lie, so is every story ever told.
