A dishonor greater than any affair, is that of a friend who never was.
M.K. STANDBYA dishonor greater than any affair, is that of a friend who never was.
M.K. STANDBYYour kisses fell on me like sand through an hourglass – a thousand tiny moments, for an eternity of stillness.
M.K. STANDBYThe leaves know when to let go – if only I had the same instinct.
M.K. STANDBYYou broke me into pieces, but I took those shards and built a mosaic. I’m stronger for the fall, and more beautiful than I could have ever been with you.
M.K. STANDBYBorn in one country and raised in another – seperated by ocean, but tied in blood.
M.K. STANDBYAnd when I imagine my home – above all else, I’ll always think of you.
M.K. STANDBYHer body may lay on your sheets, but my name sits softly on your lips.
M.K. STANDBYI sit by the sea wall, willing the waves to stay. Pulling away with gentle abandon – they avenge me for doing the same.
M.K. STANDBYWe didn’t know it was simpler, did we? Those days of sunburnt youth and carefree adventure. Knowing that indestructible optimism would waver with experience – would I have gripped it a little tighter? Held on a little longer?
M.K. STANDBYI feel like I’m on fire, fighting for a moment on respite – I’m not placing bets.
M.K. STANDBYThe rain reminds me of his voice, a perfectly composed melody in the sky. Each drop that falls against my window, a dedication to the oceans I would cross – just to sit beside him.
M.K. STANDBYThe bond of friendship as tight as any lover – where shoulders carry shared burden, a devotion unmatched by any other.
M.K. STANDBYPeace found me in a wordless embrace – in the rising of autumn sun, and the sound of turning pages.
M.K. STANDBYIt spills from my fingers faster than ink can flow – feelings too strong to contain, emotions that demand to be felt.
M.K. STANDBYA collection of thoughts bundled together and bound in twine – more toxic than any chemical, my very own poison.
M.K. STANDBYIn the end it’s all the same – the hearty fire or the damp earth. I pray I’m not alone.
