When seasons change I get drunk on nostalgia and regret More time wasted, Another year without you.

he’s tired of loving a man who leaves

a man who deceives the hearts at home

he’s tired of loving a man of extremes

a man who schemes with a heart of stone

he’s tired of loving the man of his genes;

the man of his dreams wouldn’t leave him alone

Quote

You would always be the wound of my fruit, because you sympathize how I ache with those words.

Chuck Akot, “I ache with those words.”

Why do they say that "It's okay" when in fact it's not.

Sometimes those words doesn't help.

And sometimes silence is just enough.

Sacred grounds

Walking on forgotten trails outside of this town, I’m searching for what was lost in between the lines; Every hill and valley will always remind me Of the sacred grounds that I left behind.

And deep down, I know the sun will never shine, The same way it shines in the heart of this forest, on this road, near this river; And my smile, I know I’ll never smile like I smiled when I was with you Together alone, in a perfect world, With make-believe friends and adventures to last us a million lives.

And I know, I know you don’t see these things as I do You don’t cherish the memories I so dearly hold onto, Maybe we were meant to live this way, in different worlds - You, normal and happy Me, always searching for my home.

Ashes

Let's get drunk and listen to Sinatra Forget about the world for a day Let's chase shadows and burial grounds Find every memory we need to erase Let's burn them all and be reborn From today's ashes in tomorrow's sun.

Drown the angels

I should live more in the present, Write a poem for a start, Infuriate the inner critic, Bestow the gift of words Onto secluded minds; God, how I miss feeling alive Outside of books and papers, Outside of dusty rooms, I must purge the innocence inside For it won’t let me focus on the vine That will climb me out alive.

I should leave the past behind, Bury the cold deaf whispers That drove me to this city, Resurrect the will to fight And gauge my senses, Find palpable interpretations For all the voices that keep me guessing; I'll drown the angels, one by one That want me pure For purity is nothing but crimeless living And a life without sin is a life without meaning.

~ A. A. Roman

Bones ache for riot

My bones ache for riot as the beast growls Tears of sorrow pouring mercilessly from heavy clouds And I find it all so hollow - Bodies over bodies lying lifeless on the ground.

Who would cause such manic crimes, What kind of monster do we seek? My jaw clenches as I look up and down At tiny bite marks on the victim’s neck, Her pale body - now overflowed with blood.

Restless thunder, mutiny unleashing from the sky Inside of me, the fire is burning for one last time A powerful voice escapes from my throat as I scream Cries of pain, violently collapsing my lungs.

I stand up, mute and in pain Sprint through rain and lightning As another victim hits the ground She begs, stares the hideous beast in the eyes I sink my teeth through her skin and we die.

~ A. A. Roman

The wicked place I come from

I come from anger that I don’t show Because it stings; All the memories of a sad man Who poisons his body because life's tough; And because the mind dreams of far more light Outside of this trashy town He hates so much and yet can’t get enough.

I come from fear I can't contain Because she's in control Of all the secrets I'll be buried with, Of tribulations that hide underneath The smooth skin I inherited from her, Along with the tendency to feel weak And a neverending longing for freedom Because I know I'll never be free.

All that's left are shadows of the past Found their deaths too late, too fast But no matter where I roam In the back of my mind, I’ll always keep Those goddamn blank and dirty walls Hosting the demons build inside my home, The wicked place I come from.

~ A. A. Roman

Heart under ice

My house grows emptier And days turn into nights Snow falls endlessly, The old village gently shines

It’s so cold and it burns, Alone by the fireplace The same empty soul, Helpless heart under ice.

Stars

Your eyes.

Oh your eyes.

Those lips.

Oh your lips.

You're made of something

that makes the night glow.

Characters were not the ones you would know in the book by being drawn to their emotions. Writers write about characters only to reconcile with their emotional state.

S E A S O N

You are never

too young

or never too old

to dream

and to make it happen.

Dreaming is not

base neither

on our age

nor our status

in life.

And people

has their own season.

We have our own time.

So when you feel

You want to give up,

please do not.

you have to

wait patiently,

and to work

wholeheartedly

as you wait for

your season to come. ❤

Do you find it funny when you swear that if he contact you again you won't respond anymore because he ignored you the last time you want someone to talk to, but one text and your pride collided and you even smiled when his name pops up on your phone. And you have to admit to yourself that you just lost to the i-hate-him-and-i-will-forget-him game you play.
