Social setting

 Recently I was in a room with a couple of people. They were strangers to me and I went into the situation with an open mind. 


Initially they seem very calm and nice throughout the 45 mins we shared together . I chose to be silent thought the meeting and I just heard them speak and observed their  moves. I even saw a few things the person next to me doodled. 


15 mins in and my  mind started drifting. I started to look out of the window and started writing about the sun wind and the trees.  My point is that as they spoke and shared an emotion , the words they used and how they phrased it, told me a lot about them as individuals. I knew exactly what buttons to push to get the necessary reactions out of them.


The thing that I could say, that would make them happy, I knew the words I can use to make them sad. I knew how genuine they were and which parts of their personalities were just a facade .


 Imagine you knew about this, that Some one who did not even speak to you one on one, and did not even look at you, a complete stranger, who did not even know your name, knew which buttons to push on you. would you be scared? or amazed?

Mad-less

  What  kind of madness is this? The logic escapes me completely. The more I try to make sense of it, the more lost I become — like sinking into quicksand. The harder I try to understand, the deeper I’m pulled into something bottomless and unreachable. How can you look at me the way you do, speak to me the way you do, act around me the way you do… and still say there’s nothing there? Why even bother then? If there’s truly nothing, then please — don’t talk to me. Don’t look at me. Don’t come near me. I get it now. The message is loud and clear. Just because you’re drawn to chaos,  because complication thrills you and makes you feel alive, doesn’t mean you have the right to drag others into your web for your own amusement. Some of us already have enough chaos in our lives. We’re not searching for a puzzle, or a game. There’s no tug-of-war here. It’s either yes, or no. And if it’s yes…  then let it be joy, not confusion. Let it be clarity, not cruelty. Because I’m done ...

How lovely it would have been.

  I was walking today, a cold winter night, very foggy, by myself. I was walking, have and a thought popped in my head,  'How lovely it would have been!?’   How lovely it would have been,  If you were here with me,  How lovely it would have been,  If you were the source of my warmth,  How lovely it would have been,  If you were by my side hand in hand,  trying to explore eternity.  How lovely it would have been,  when your hand are cold, I would have love to warm them for you by holding them tight. How lovely it would have been,  just walking by your side,  listening to your silly laugh after every sentence. How lovely it would have been,  looking up at the sky, knowing you are there with me,  How lovely it would have been,  going into a random cafe,  enjoying the night talking, stress free,  without any worries, How lovely it would have been,  when I try and flirt you look away, Shy, changing...

The high of missing.

  Here I am ,   Sitting in the train, infront of all the strangers, Each one different than another, But they are here, and not you! I know more about them, then I do about you. You aren’t on my mind, I am not thinking of you. I haven’t thought about you for days . Since we last spoke , I deserve that respect,  But here I am missing something I never had, never experienced. I don’t want you, don’t text me, Don’t tell me you miss my words for you, The poems I wrote when we were alone, The music I composed when you would stall, The feelings I expressed when we fell, I don’t want any of it back, I like the high of missing, Missing something I never had. Don’t you dare, come infront of me,  I am not hurting, I am not waiting, you will be kicked out, You are already out , The 3 strikes are you, But I like the high of missing, Missing something I never had. -AXM
