Day 12.

I was sitting here
In this café
Supposed to be working
But he caught my eye
The way he
Walked in, limping
Ordered his drink
And walked the stairs
Limping too

Maybe it's the overdose
Of caffeine in my body
Making me over think
But he broke my heart
A man
Around his 60s
Maybe older
Alone

The Man
Came downstairs
Took his drink and
Sat outside
Limping and on his own

The Man
People-watching
Sipping on his drink
Lit up a cigar
And continued
People-watching

The way
The Man
Sat so still
Surrounded by so much
But, is alone
Coughing occasionally
Shattered my being
Made me sad
And
Took you away
From my thoughts
For once.

Day 11.

There once was a girl that only ate apples and drank tea. She had a strange fear of talking, likes observing people and she lives in an apartment located in Taiwan.
One day she was stopping by the market to get some tea but was taken aback by the sight of a man with strange clothing combination. She thought it was the most wonderful thing she saw besides her steaming hot cup of tea this morning. She then got herself home as quickly as possible and searched through her clothes to find pieces similar to what The Man was wearing. She wore them but they didn't look right on her. It was his face, she thought. The way he slightly parted his mouth when exhaling.
A few days later she was in a cafe having her morning black tea and eating her apple. She held her tea to take a sip that would send her mind to clearness but that's when she saw him again. Tall with and wearing a navy suit, paired with a colorful tie that didn't even have navy or even blue in it. What a waste of a perfect suit, she thought.
On her way home, she was changing the batteries of her mp3 player and then wad startled to see him suddenly appear in front of her. "Hi, I'm Adam and I'm sorry to surprise you. I moved to the apartment next to you. I'm your neighbour," he said. Being the person she is, she couldn't say anything other than "I.. I'm It's okay, welcome." And thought that was enough so she picked up her dropped bag and moved on.
She died, he was waiting for Its Okay and her tea was cold.

Day 10.

She remembered
It was her childhood
That was stolen
From her

She remembered
The only choice
She had
Was to stop herself
From crying

She remembered
Other children
Didn't talk about
What happened

She thought
Is it just me?
Was I the only one?

She said
You ruined me
I forgive you
Because karma
Will do the job
For me

Day 9.

When I
Offered you
A warm embrace
Held you tight
For a long time
Not knowing that
You hand a knife
In your hand..
