Self-sabotage

It's a pitch black sky without stars. You are just an empty house without any properties to offer. You swear it's cold in the middle of summer and everyone says the sunlight stings their skin. But you zipped up your jacket because your hands always freeze. The sunlight never reaches you, but flame never feels enough until it burns you into ashes. The world has always been blurry and your senses are dead. You could not hear any noises or see anything. And the headache feels like someone keeps trying to break your skull from inside to stop you from remembering. Words seem like a broken signal to you as if it's your first time talking. You forget how to feel, like you forget how to eat. You are just incapable. Because you're a terribly ruined person through and through. One night you are stuck in the corner of your mind, wondering a way to escape from this unknown room but how the heck are you trapped here for years. And it's locked. You try to remember good things but it's just your nails digging to your throat like they have a mission of their own. Because nothing actually ever truly happened, just a hollow book and a dried pen. It has always been a hollow book and a dried pen.

a chunk of glass

i've been wanting to paint your soul with the color of the world so that you can see the magic hiding behind everyone's eyes i've been wanting to whisper poems about stars and dreams to your abyss praying for you long last memories i've been wanting to stitch your limbs to help you learn how to dance and venture to fail your loneliness from tearing you apart maybe if i had listened to the beat of your core how transparent and colorless it was like a chunk of glass i see that's why sometimes it looks empty only when i finally tried to stare closely and squint my eyes only if i was not too scared to know what's inside it was unmolded not sure if it's too strong or too stubborn either way, it remained the same.

letter for blue

recently i have forgotten your birthday. i still remember your voice and the way you talk. i've made peace with my feelings. but sometimes you appeared in my dreams as both fantasy and nightmare. you're something i wish i could erase. yet here i am clinging onto the smallest thing like your smile that would never be intended to me. memories are deceitful, and i hope so. i hope it's my memories that betray me, that i am actually just a sick person and you're nothing but a halucination. so i could drink the medicine and be okay. perhaps it is not about you, perhaps you've unfortunately became a proof of something more tragic than pure. a door for the darkness that has existed in me since a long time ago. it is pathetic how i froze whenever i saw a glimpse of your fractions in a crowd or when a stranger has your name, eventhough i knew it was not the real you. i have always known that loneliness takes half of my being. as if i am not 'me' if i do not have them...

Tonight, I’d be fine I could sleep In the midst of chaos I’d move backwards everytime my guilt decapitated my essence Tonight, I found somebody's reflection on a broken mirror And it was a boy He was made from my desperate prayers in every crowds Sometimes I saw him with his innocent smile Sparkling eyes and curly hair Clean uniforms and black loafers His voice was kind He looked alive, and perfect Unlike the world I was ragged I wish I were you I'd have been beautiful Tonight, I'd fight with my dirty nails and sharpened wooden stick You’d fight with soft words that kill minds I drank their blood You danced with their corpses But we both lost the war, despite our childhood secret dreams We knew we’d do Maybe I should hold your hand from the start Before I brought you your doom, and you brought mine But it’s fine Cause the longing is finally ending The longing is finally ending. ~•~ / Why I Only Face You Now When I've Known You Since F...
