The diamond pair.

Small
but proud
in a pair
as if mocking me

in a red box.
enveloped in brown
from the place
he was

there was once a promise
long time back
i was young
we were young

and here it was
fake
real
we had it both

It wouldn't last
the shine
they would fade
darken

It would last
not everlastingly
but it did
for some time
and that must count
It must.

He lies.. (Part 1)

He lies
he always lies
so does she
but he shows it more
she makes him lie
by putting a knife to his throat and forcing him
she's trying to be sarcastic again
she isn't trying to be, she is
she's trying to understand
he doesn't like explaining
it only makes things worse
and she said
silence was golden
now embroiled in it,she is
actually he said silence was golden
she merely agreed
if she differs, she's wrong
when she does agree, she's wrong
never right, she is
he didn't say it
mean it, at least
but
he said it nevertheless
and he is always let to be right?
saying things he didn't mean isn't very different from saying things he means
he's playing the game, sarcasm
again
which he learnt from her, and was pushed into using
from the few times he really listens
does she understand what going on
in his mind?
she tries
too much
he's trying to get her to give up
yes, he is
why?
think gal, think
she's done enough thinking
he agrees
didn't she always say its better not to think so much, over analyze
so? Does she listen? Really, does she?
she doesn't, she can't
but she tries anyway
he tries to spit it out
but he can't
so he does the other
an alternative, and he knows she is gonna say "the easy way out"
but he does it anyway
she's fading from his mind
she's far, far away
she's got it all wrong again
she doesn't understand anything, him
well, he isn't making it any easier, is he?
he isn't anything
as opposed to her being everything?
a stinge of sarcasm, again!
maybe?! why? who is asking?
who is involved
a sin to know?
to want to know?
all he asks is for her to wait
he needs air to breathe
thats all
not today
another light for his blight

He lies... (Part 2)

she smiles
he feels like doing the opposite
she has no reason
at least he's still here
must mean something
and she said "didn't she always say its better not to think so much, over analyse"?
from a smile to a tear
inside she cries
she's tired
tired of trying
tired of trying not to try
he's been crying too long to be able to notice
give me time
even when he sees, he turns a blind eye
and still she waits
for now, how long can she wait for something that she knows she has nothing for and nothing to do with?
maybe because she knows that over time things change
people change
hes stubborn can't she tell? of all the things
he dies trying
im sorry
he's numb
dead inside and the outside
and still she pokes him...
not pokes
gently nudges
with much care
a way with words she has, seemingly pleasant it has become
he wished it was that simple
he sincerely does
but he isnt naive like he used to be
he has grown rotten'
seemingly pleasant he says
why is it so hard for him to grasp it
maybe it's because he doesnt want to
why doesnt she?
she's afraid
cowardly she is
he salutes her,
with a gentle bow
a wink and a smile he once forgot
and says " brave u are, u are... "
she reverses with,
sarcastic he is, he is
she hurts him dearly
it gets really hard to breathe
when she does that
he doesn't understand why
well its mutual
another in common
the list is slightly more than a handful
he meant everyone he said he meant
he burns his insides and walks away
and leaves her there
alone
alone
it echoes
her being alone.

the howler..

he's having his lunch
his breakfast,his dinner
he's always hungry
he wants more
she's always feeding him
she makes him ask for more
he's becoming frustrated
she tries to brush him off
but he keeps nudging her
but she keeps changing the subject
but he likes different stuff
almost nothing in common
thats why she treats him like dirt?
yeah, she doesn't have to answer that
he only thinks she treats him like dirt
but she doesn't, well sorta
she thinks it's better than the others
its good to her
but he sees it differently
he thinks she doesn't really care
she says bye...
he leaves the room
somehow she does too
he's left stunned
what a howler he made
