The World at Large

  The descending sun spooks me, As it reminds me of impending doom. The fate of the world hanging on  the joker wearing the crown. A game of deceit and endless conspiracies, Rigged to make the hidden emerge strong. ‘Come one come all’ The sign bellows. Not one peasant decided to enjoy the menu. They are sinking to fall in their own broken ship. All towing to head into the dark abyss. We enjoy playing the game when it is, Someone else who’s head will twirl if they miss. But when the trigger loads and the target is us. When the bullet wants to grab hold on us. We run so far, without a hitch. We run to never stop to check. What happened to those who tried to save us? What happened to the joker who longs for love? What happened to the magician, is he still sick? The old man, next door, did he get his tip? The world of our species amuses me. To see the world move by so cheap. The moon is now out. It winks at me. The stars shining bright following me. The world beyond our species, Fascinates

"Anytime..."

Please stop. It's driving me crazy.
The way you are willing to give everything up for my smile.
I don't know how to thank you, but whenever I do.
You cut me off by saying "Anytime"..

You save me from my demons and walk through hell every time,
But if I I ever try to thank you ,
You always reply "Anytime.."

And sometimes i go mad.
i try to hurt you so you realise
that i'm not worth all the troubles you fight.
but, i don't know how
it always ends with you saying
"anytime"..

You aren't a robot.
I've known that for so long.
But i just don't want to bring you down
You deserve more than I will ever give,
not because I don't care.
But because I always will.

It sounds crazy , i know.
But that's how i live all the time.
acting like i hate you
when you're all I think about every night.

But I won in this mess,
I succeeded in my plan.
You no longer care.
And one day, i hope you'll thank me
for all that i did.
and maybe for once i'll finally get to say.
"Anytime"..
