on days when your mind tricks you
and you wonder is there a reason
to stay.
on days when the malfunctioning clock in your mind says it's time to leave.
and you wonder is there a reason
to stay.
on days when the malfunctioning clock in your mind says it's time to leave.
you need to go.
on days when you can feel all the knives stuck at your back
and the bloody tiger just won't get off your back.
on days when you don't feel real and the demons scream and shout
without respite and it feels like
the red flag will be hoisted anytime soon,
signaling your defeat
on days when you feel like a
tree, collapsing as the bark bleeds and quivers,
trying to make sense of the hurt caused by the axe and
wanting someone to count the rings
to find how old the ache is
on days when the void and
all the empty spaces in your heart are emboldened
by the silence and sadness,
creating a strange powerful pull
on such days, arriving as soon as they leave but staining you
like tea-stains on your favourite white sheet,
and during late night vices
when your mind inflicts crimes on you
I will be here,
waiting to roam the empty boulevards of life with you
and chasing dragons together
I will be there
waiting to give you a semblance of peace
in my arms
waiting to shield you
from the world
from me and the darkness that lurks in our hearts
waiting to see you bring your light to the darkness
I will be here
and i need you to be here too
to see the sun shine at us, once again
to see the day when self-love is a possibility
on days when you can feel all the knives stuck at your back
and the bloody tiger just won't get off your back.
