Rain hammered against the window, angry. Like it had a vendetta against the Weatherspoons I was hiding in the corner of. I’ve always preferred the corner seats, probably because they usually have a sofa - they also have the advantage of being an excellent vantage for people watching (one of the only benefits of being surrounded by people).
Sat there, I found myself dreading the inevitable ride ho...
Leaning against the window frame,
They jumped out swiftly,
Becoming one with the night
The black clothing and mask coated them;
Intimidating and ominous.
Providing the means to be anonymous
A helpful warning to stay away,
Like how a tree frog sports bright colours
To alert potential predators
And avoid slaughter
The only difference:
This was the predator
Waiting until nightfall to pounce

Don’t turn the light off
I need my night light
The bright stars help me
Sleep through the night
Singing songs of youth
Don’t turn the light off
My heart aches to see
I want someone to love me
I need the light to see
Singing songs of adolescence
Don’t turn the light off
Then I can’t find my glasses
They hide away from me
Then the night passes
Singing songs of lost time
Don’t turn the light of...
Your fearful eyes
Reflected at me
Sharp dark blade
You feel threatened
I own something
Something that’s yours
Your secret
My ammunition
But now my death is near
Feeling your breath on my face
Your eyes are the last I see
Before I descend to the grave
But one thing you forgot
Something you overlooked
Killing me isn’t enough
Even the dead tell stories...
Pale hazel haunting
Shadow behind my eyes
Always there, lurking
A simple compromise
Soft whispers echo
Distracting me too
Showing me the window
Back to you
Should I travel
Ghosts I follow
Story yet to unravel
Empty and hollow
Now you chase me
Silently amongst stones
It’s you I can’t see
Hiding behind their bones
Should I choose this
Or let you go?
Stay for a last kiss….
Or free the crow?...
Mouth parched
Licking my cracked lips
With a tongue roughed
Toxic relationships
So thirsty for knowledge
Knowing everything
Everyone acknowledge
You are worshiping
Superiority in knowing
Intelligence and wisdom
Need possessing
Corrupted system
I am in the know
But that’s not always
Worth the show
Worth the praise
Eating me up inside
Secrets, stories
Absorbed wide-eyed
Foreign territories
K...
