lone

they came in,
shook my hands and make small talk
they stayed and assured a fun time
they made a silent promise to go through it all

but then one picks up the phone
and called to be picked up, to go home
then others follow suit
and left me to say bye

we decided to continue our plans
to stay and enjoy and to go through it all

but you stood up and went into a room
and beckoned the others to follow
but you shut the door in my face
turned the lock
leaving me bruised and shattered

as i sat alone and contemplated
i realised how it is that people enter and leave
leave you alone and in the dark

pearls

the strain is taut
the pull hurts
the tension so deafening

mist settle before my eyes
blur visions,contorted in the light
glassy views,changing forms and shapes

i tried to hold it in
i grabbed onto the remaining strenght
i slipped and fell

down; till the end
