Armenian Girl

Armenian Girl

I’ve had these conversations without communicating a word to you.
You can’t win a game of chess making a single move.
Clutching at these broken straws, I ignore the fatal signs.
Looking for a parachute, a smile through your eyes.

I still fall for you sometimes.

In these photographs, on your message boards, a picture tells a thousand words.
But it doesn’t describe you right.

I think I’d rather face the facts.
But your one to run all night.

But in these conversations, these transactions, of two thoughts.
You’ve never broken character to me, you’ve never shown anything you didn’t want me to see.

and I’m like.

I don’t live for such showmanship, such arrogance, such hopelessness.
I don’t live for your confidence, your lucky that, I’m over this. But.

It always intrigues me.
That that’s what deceives me. But I’ll shrug that off.

Maybe there’s not more than what meets the eye.
Maybe I should just stay inside, with these paragraphs of messages, these visual little lies.

I just hope. That you make it back in one piece.
And when it all comes to fruition,
Your truly satisfied.

Very beautiful. Our souls are what make us who we are, however when the outside doesn't want the inside or the inside doesn't want the outside it can sometimes feel like a war. How very clever and inspiring. 🌹

Wow Max...WELCOME BACK!!! I think this is possibly my favourite of yours...it speaks to me of lost love or maybe the illusion of lost love when they hurt us and turn out to be not who we thought they were. Yet even then, we cannot quite illuminate this person that didn't really exist that clings strongly to the head and heart....a ghost love that taunts us.  I may have got this wrong...regardless...love it x

Haha Marion, you seem to like the my writes when they are most personal to me~ But thanks for the welcome again! You nailed the analysis by the way, a ghost of love for sure, it still scares me to this day... I hope you are well as always Marion, it really is lovely to hear from you~

Hey Tina! How are you! Long time no see, I'll check out if you've been posting recently after this one~ I'm glad you enjoyed it, sometimes I wonder if my muse is good enough in the eyes on others. Writing with honesty is all I can do these days, still glad I have fans on here. Also hope you are well~

Max I'm late here again but have to agree with others arriving before me and welcome back!
And after reading there always destined one that sticks in one's mind, that lost love that got away, like Brief Encounter with a mystery tour train, never to return except through thoughts and dreams.
Oh to dream of that spectral lost love enveloped in the mists of time.
Perhaps to wish of said love and any time spent to bid return.
A captivating write and another from your heart and Max it's a big heart :)

Thank you Shaun. Love lost is always an ugly but thoroughly explored topic for me. It's difficult to put conflicted feelings on the paper, but when I do and when I publish, my mind always feels so much lighter. I'm just glad I have people that listen to my constant complaints about life! Haha I'm a little unhinged sometimes. As of late I've learnt that life's too short to be complicated!
