Life lately – Kendi Dominik versei

Happiness

I realized that happiness is so fragile,
And hope—a sweet yet cruel exile.
As if I was doomed to fail the mission,
My smile is gone, along with ambition.

They say I’ve changed, I’ve lost my spark,
The light in my eyes turned into dark.
Actions speak louder than what’s heard—
You never acted, not a word.

I crave the days when I felt elated,
But no one cares, I’m isolated.
And no—I don’t miss you as a person,
It’s the thoughts that worsen and worsen.

Love

I hate this word—
How it lingers in my hollow heart.
Not because of her—
We’re lifetimes, galaxies apart.

I’ve grown so good at telling lies;
It’s easier than even trying.
They say that love comes easily—
But not when it’s the kind that’s dying.

It’s not the same to love the sky,
As when you say I love you—and mean the lie.
Love has worn the face of the devil,
And choked me on another level.

Feelings

Feelings, once unknown, discovered,
What’s left—a few—have been recovered.
Disgust, sadness, anger, and grief,
Where’s joy and relaxing? She’s a thief.

Blood on the walls, in the back of my room,
My heart—a place where the finest rose blooms.
I forgot—they all died, long story, short end,
The sand and the ice—they all blend.

I’ve realized what second place means:
It means more than they tell you on screens.
It means you were so close to getting it—or her—
But you didn’t win. Winning is just a big blur.
