A day

The image shows a black background with a pair of blue hands and pink fingertips - one hand is leaning onto the wrist of the other.

Let’s wrap this up

And call it a day.

I’ve cried enough

And I’ve done more than enough

So please, let’s just call it a day.

Ego

The image shows a black background with a pair of hands. The yellow hand is held up and the blue hand is holding onto its wrist in a restrictive manner. They have neon pink fingernails.

I didn’t do it to hurt

But that I couldn’t cure my own hurt.

It’s not out of lack

But rather my own lacking.

How egoistical must you be

To make it about you?

Lying

The image shows a black background with a pair of green hands and neon yellow nails with one hand is holding onto the back of the other.

I hate lying

But I hate it even more

When you give me no choice

But to lie.

I’m lying to keep your truth

Whilst denying my own truth.

Candy

There is a black background and at the centre, there is a pink hand holding out in offering, with their nails painted neon green.

Sweet, like candy.

You call out to me.

It’s a shame that I can’t swallow you whole

How unfortunate that I have to share pieces of your soul.

Would it be a crime if I stole?

Don’t

There is a black background with a blue hand held up with the index finger pointing as it to disapprove. Their nails are painted neon pink.

I once waited for an apology

But now I don’t need your sorry.

I can’t even return to the naive me

To pretend to believe your sob story.

Why don’t you save your acting,

For someone who still worries?

Steal

In the black background, there is a pink hand with the index finger stretched to the right and the remaining fingers curling upwards. Their nails are painted blue.

Let’s steal moments,

In a day full of errands.

Or whisper secrets,

In a room full of people.

I promise I won’t run,

As long as you can find.

Did we?

In a black background, there is a pink hand holding onto the fingers of green hand tenderly.

Did we owe a debt,

And agreed to return?

Did I say I’ll find you,

Or that you’ll find me?

And I’m sure we will come to find,

As we have always done –

In this lifetime, once again.

Foolish

There is a black background with a pink hand at the centre of the image, their fingers curled into the palms and their nails neon yellow.

Sometimes I’ll suddenly remember things

That I’ve left many, many years ago.

Like the sudden thought

That you never meant it,

When you sang that song for me

That time.

How foolish,

Was I?

I wish

There is a black background and a yellow hand at the centre of the image, with fingers stretched in different directions and their nails painted neon green.

I wish I could see you

And feel your skin.

We take a step forward,

Then two steps back

When all I ever once wanted,

Was for you to come back.

Even after all this time

There is a black background and a pair of pink hands with interlocked fingers leaning to the right hand side, their nails painted neon blue, at the centre of the image.

And I don’t feel anything anymore,

About that or about this.

But why is it that even after all this time,

I still can’t go back to that coffee shop,

Where we once sat

Even after all this time?
