In this Polariod, we smiled
And made pretense
But deep in the verandahs 
Of our heart,
Our love was orphaned
From the very start.

It cries of the daily circles
We run
Yet, we chose to to believe everything
Was alright


In this electric castle,
Everything in it is misery
This castle was built with bricks
Of hatred and lies

It was built with kisses
Drenched in betrayal
A perfect castle of lies
A castle that breaks our heart
To make us live again


This electric Castle --
Electrocutes us
Yet, we don't want to let go
But lets keep the pretense
Lets keep on decorating the castle

We knew we are over
But we kept on going
We were ostriches
With wings that could not soar

But we stayed in this castle to feed
Our lovely illusions.
These gates bar us in
The titles King and Queen
Of hearts which long ago
Stopped beating with passion

But now beat only to keep us breathing
Keep us from going at each other.
Because we are tired
Of the revelations of truth we open
 When we pour our hearts out

The wreching pain
I knew truth hurts but I didn't 
Know it could maim
The fear of loving again.


But stuck in this electric castle
that shocks my heart
Charging again and again
200, 360, 366
Then it beats once more
I only wish it had had dumsor



FULL VERSION OF ELECTRIC CASTLE out soon. It has poems like Volts, Poisonous love, Love me like you don't, Computer Love etc. All poems were written by JYF and Agyeiwaa
