Unspoken

Stuck between my heart and the world, I decided to keep it mum
Locked it in a box and threw away the key
Deep into the sea, it sunk
It never did surface but I believed everything else would suffice
I made myself believe that it would..
Did it?
It was never spoken of
Unlike the river, it never flowed
Unlike the lava, it froze
Unlike time, it stopped
Yet it survived the sandstorms, the heat, the cold
And it never died
But like a cancer, it slowly killed me
Slowly took over my life
The life I prayed never to ever live again in the lives to come
As the world wanted it unspoken
Though the universe wanted the heart to live, scream and shout
Keep beating and never freeze
But it remained unspoken

Respect Gone Fishing

I never saw that you did caring
Nor have I ever seen that you did raising
For all I knew was you did cheating
You brought her home whilst I was growing

I was around ten when you deceived me
You smeared my respect for you; it hurt me
For all you ever was was a hero to me
Until you couldn't keep yourself together for me

I never grew to love you more than that
Nor have I ever wished to gain your respect
For all I knew was that you are no more than that
Just another man in the family I can't respect

I was in my teen then when I wasn't consoled
When I wasn't told that it's not the end of the world
When I hated all the opposite of me and the likes of you
When all I felt was anger and rage with no curfew

My heart rebelled silently
For when I needed you, you weren't there entirely
The rage I had without a doubt was deadly
Couldn't figure out what stole your sanity

Today I fall, pushed by my magnitude
Getting tired of my strong attitude
Refused to believe in that altitude
Hence I keep to my own beatitude
