The Illusions Of Life

Farewell Love

What if we didn't love? 

Just for one day.

Would we finally be happy?

Living as portrayed - 

Life in Milligrams

Don't let life consume you -

You'll come out a rusty nail. 

No longer chasing a view - 

Instead, pulling back the veil. 

Consume life in great quantities - 

Wait Until June

Our little lives are like books, 

Flipping to a new chapter. 

Taking down my rook, 

Only knowing after. 

The conclusion comes soon- 

But it's an illusion. 

Just wait until June - 

Maybe - the resolution? 

Ten times a day. 

Get rid of stupid policies - 

Come on, seize the day. 

Detachment

Like the apple from its tree, 

I'm detached to a degree. 

Thoughts linger into one,

I'm not trying to shun - 

Just     a     bit     overdone.

My demise

A monument of salt, 

Crusted at my eyes. 

Remnants of my past - 

Oh, my sweet demise. 

Blue lines of agony, 

Marking my skin. 

Breaking the anatomy - 

Where to begin?

A Gamble

Hello and Goodbye, 

I say this with grace. 

I'm no longer here, 

But this is my trace. 

The life I led

Was a textbook example: 

Fantastically dull, 

Quite like a gamble. 

For you, whenever - 

I leave you this: 

My words, on paper, 

A shamble, a miss.
