The words “we met” is only for those people when they see they talk
And I guess we never met but we see each other
Eye to eye, no talk just my eyes looking to something it loves the most
But your eyes looked away.
The time you texted me asking about things that you know you don’t need the answer
I was so happy, I couldn’t help it, I ended up telling everyone.
They say I’m so lucky that I get what I wanted.

There is you on every songs I listen to
There is you on every road I walked
Every room smells like the cologne you use
Every wall clearly showing your face
Can you just leave me alone?

Fearing fear

A different day,
But the same anxiety ridden mind
All the thoughts that flood my brain going into fast forward or rewind
 
Before I've even pulled myself out of bed,
I greet the day with feelings of fear and dread
 
I get myself up and feel controlled by all my thoughts 
What may or may not happen, what I can and can not do, feeling my brain as it rots

There’s complexity in her silence.
Not something that I see,
More something that I feel.
The prickle of her mind,
Holds the intellect of chaos.
Her thoughts brush across my skin,
Hiding in the endless depths of her eyes.
Their fists are clenched,
Beating against the locked iron doors of silent lips,
Until they’re bloody ragged and sore.
Ambivalent she may seem,
But she burns with raging fire.

Sitting across from you
While you're dressed in matching green,
Listening to the sound of your voice stringing together words
In a long line that doesn't make an ounce of sense.
"Time, date, day.
Time, date, day.
What's your name again?"
I try to find you,
but you don't seem to be home.

I've been here before.
Only it wasn't you,
It was him.

I've already heard the nonsensical ramblings of a mind that didn't belong.
I've seen the vacancy sign flicker in a pair of eyes
I no longer recognized.

I've been here before.

As time goes by,
Moments after moments,
The love grows fatter and fatter,
The more you still my heart, 
The more you scorch my lips,
Beyond the edge of love.

Written to portray the perspective of those who have been scarred by the lies and abuses of the untrustworthy world we live in.


<Haunted by Bitterness>


Growling, groaning, gravelling

Crawling, creeping, clawing

Hideously, hauntingly, hysterically,

Stealthily, solitarily,

SARDONICISM.

From light I was torn 
into darkness born
to stumble alone 
through numbing cold 
always searching. 

For a spark so rare
fragile flame to flare
a light to guide me
and ease my dark fears
flickers softly.

Knocking on heavens' door
No one opens...
Brutal breathtaking blow...
Blood on the damn floor...
Ominous omen...
Craving more...
The flame stays lit...burn
Persevere...survive...endure...
It's coming,I'm sure...
Dreaming that one day
You'll see me...
My talent supreme...gifted..
God given...I'm lifted
For the longest time
Loathing lonely nights...
I felt like folding...
You play the cards you're dealt
I'm all in...

You inspire me
Elegant angel sent down...
I look up to you and to the powers that be...
Please look over her and me...
The first time I saw you...
I couldn't curb it...
Do I deserve her..?
I was so nervous...
But since you.. I've evolved to purpose...
Lavish lust lured me...

Tortured enigma...I walk alone
My bruised and bleeding feet beat the pavement
Sleep's fleeting and filled with forgotten dreams..
Life lived all around me...
Though nothing is ever as it seems...
Sometimes I wish I could feel what "they" feel...
But in conceding I found me...
This candid candeza for itself speaks...
You see I died yet lived to tell the tale...
I put the rest up for sale...
For next to nothing...no less...
Devious dealer dressed in prada...
The devil in disguise...
Dispensing death on demand...
Open 24 hours...
Cash on delivery...
No credit or medical aid cards...
Next narcotics become nessasary...
Nearly annihilate me...
Swiftly...
With nothing left to lose...
I remove the noose...
I decide and choose...Live..
Even if it kills me...
It is said,"He who overcomes will not be hurt at all by the second death. ..
Gracious father...
Help me be my best...
From now till comes...
My last breath...

Life is hard
It gets really hard sometimes
From small things,
Small fears, small worries, small problems
Day by day it gets piled up
Thought I’ve able to take a control of it
Thought I’m already okay
Without realizing that those piles are actually still there
Until one single thing added up to those pile
Causing all of them to break apart
That’s when I realize
I’ve never been okay
Those small things are piling up
To the point where I can’t bear anymore
Where I fall to my knees
And my tears break
I feel like I barely hold on
I wish I could just let go everything
I wish I could end all of these
Is dying the answer?
To end all the pain I hold in this world
The pain of incapable of doing anything
The pain of keep wishing life will get better but never knowing when
The pain of trying to live with this pain
