Apple Tree

“Life will break you. 
Nobody can protect you from that, and living alone won’t either, for solitude will also break you with its yearning. 
You have to love. 
You have to feel. 
It is the reason you are here on earth. 
You are here to risk your heart.
You are here to be swallowed up. 
And when it happens that you are broken, or betrayed, or left, or hurt, or death brushes near, let yourself sit by an apple tree and listen to the apples falling all around you in heaps, wasting their sweetness. 
Tell yourself you tasted as many as you could.” 

— Louise Erdrich

VANISH

Disclaimer: photo not mine.

I’m starting to shiver

In this cold quiet ground

Waiting for my hero’s return

To savage my heart’s frozen sound

The heartbeat’s gone

The sun is down

The stars hide

Behind the cloud’s silhouette blinds

The darkness envelope

The misty eyes of love

Behind a river flows

Lost in an ocean’s ghost

I start to shiver

In this lost heart of mine

Deep in a river of sorrow

In the vast lonely night

I cuddle myself for life

While my thoughts linger behind

Why have you deserted me?

Am I not worth the fight?

WHERE ARE THEY NOW?

Sometimes, the people we’ve come to know don’t always stay as they are…and the friends we knew all along are not fated to stay on our sides forever…the promises that were once made are almost always…forgotten.

People change ‘cause they have to, or need to…or maybe, they just wanted to change. It’s not always that the people you’ve come to know remain unchanged all their life. It is part of the life cycle that we undergo metamorphosis. But the hard part is, to accept those changes and to come friends with yet another stranger.
