The Ghost of Us
You were the best friend I never had, The love I held in trembling hands. The one thing pure, the one thing true, The brightest light I ever knew. We had our storms, we had our fights, Yet I believed we'd make it right. Through every fall, through every scar, I thought we'd heal—we'd come this far. But love is not just words...

Lost and Looking
Surrounded by strangers who love me. [Un]strangers made strange by pain. Words the same as always, the same as nothing, when nothing is the same. Lost and last to know; lost and last to love. I am the last one lost. For you cannot see even a bubble; once it is popped. Falling not flying. One lost, bloody word, like the lost...

Decry, Cry, Cry, Cry
She cried, She's sorry, I cried, You left. The nerve. You can come back, You can stay, We can stay together. She said she'll never do it again, She cried and held me, You were gone. When you come back I'll be happy, I hope you're happy, It wasn't my fault. Her words were painful, Like only a cut could heal. I cried. You left. Come back and kick it, Stay awhile, Stay forever. You'l be...

Whispering Fate
Sacrified everything she had, yet it remained the same. Ceased expecting anything, indifferent she became. Ceased expressing preferences, feeling it is pointless. Silence born from exhaustion and hopelesness. Unaware of what was evil. His tainted soul being deceitful. Destroying everything alive, planting seeds of grief. As she became someone she barely recognizes, a reflection of his needs. Never ending feeling of emptiness. Fate whispering...

Whispering Mind
Emotionless eyes that have the colour of wind, looking in mine...killing me from inside. Why do I feel so tired all the time? Seeing everything you do, being blind. Fearing your unstable mind, destroying mine. Whispering in my ear: 'Deny'. The sadness oh the sadness...comes and goes flood tide. Going insane, stuck in an endless cycle trying to get outside. Going through...

In Sickness
When you were in the hospital, dear My heart was filled with a dreadful fear. I begged God to spare your pretty life And went home with worry for my wife. The strain on both my body and mind Was so great that no sleep did I find. I prayed by your bedside and by mine That God would heal and all...

Petrified Lights
The Northern Lights petrify Leaving stains of color to grated souls. Foreign thorns entice the sky - threshing what's left of flesh. For a season deceiving remains, jaded petals cover sinister views ~Yet~ Wilted and jagged with pigment stagnant - Dark; blackened to average - Decay begins from less fortunate sins. Charisma lost while miracles fold - Enigma strikes like pyrite gold - Within life loss - An...

When Silence Prevails
Silence covers stormy seas churning within. When all could be expelled, sudden burst of raw emotion, revealing every painful scar, there's silence. Looking into the sunset seeking solace from the shade, murky waters detailing problems unsettled, Silence crosses the rift. Deep oceans in my eyes never cross their boundaries. I refuse to cry. Pressure mounts against my walls, levies of fortitude, misunderstandings of the truths, judgements of the unknown. What lies behind...

A Thousand Years
You're an ancestor from a Spanish shore, your blood thick with it, a wanderer, in the Jersey woods, you're piece of granite, your bad boy side glinting in the sun, a small slice of hell, revealed when you blink your thick eyelashes at anything that passes, just to call it "healing," panting like a mad dog through rosy winter cheeks, that wild, thirsty, thousand year old pain, circling back to...

Silent Verses
It hurts to see you, Knowing you'll never be mine. Yet, my eyes yearn, To see you every single time. I love you, love you not, I know not how I fell for you. Some grey delusions in my head, Will never turn blue. Soon my eyes won't find you, And I'll bid you with a silent goodbye. These fantasies that felt so true, Were only...

Not This Rose
I saw a dazzling rose, Whose red petals cast blinding hues upon me. She shot her cupid arrows from the Kabaka’s backyard, And punctured the cocoon of my innocence. My heart burnt for a feel of her spangled petals, My ferocious passions lost their sturdy grip on restraint as I, like a pollen-famished bee, sniffed her whiff; I gorged on...

Among the Lilies
She stood by the waters Draining blood to hungry mosquitoes And she wept... For her beauty had been swept away Swept by the marauding monsters who Called her a sausage for hounds. By these waters... She saw men drag her Away to snatch her innocence And she came back altered Far beyond recognition. And a Lily stood outstandingly To remind her there was still light No need...

Fourth Degree Burns
I am the girl that plays with fire got burned so many times , got burned so many times . But there is nothing more satisfying Than feeling them flames slowly advance from eyes to heart . At first is just a cozy warmth that fills your lungs with happy gas and all you can do is laugh. But...

Love Hurts
It's not the void of your absence, rather you are too full into my heart. I'm trying to defy your silent presence, but it's really hard to stay apart. My pen is paining, so as my heart. I'm learning each day from you to be unknown, but my heart is denying being completely apart. Oh, you heartless, go far or be mine...

Lost Heaven
I'm feeling a downpour in my heart, Lonely thoughts haunting my soul; As a bone plucked out, I sense - A break in my heart is hidden under smiles. A place I hated as hell is a real heaven; I am stepping out the bed of roses, Lost my heart to rude thorns; Rude truth came out of the lost time. Choice of...
