Month: April 2017 (Page 2 of 2)

don’t lecture me about love
when all you’ve been doing
is spreading lies and hatred
in your precious virtual sphere.

don’t ask for my compassion
when you’d rather hope for someone’s downfall
than try to make the world a better place.

don’t expect me to internalize
every single word you’ve told me
when most of the time,
they’re sweets laced with cyanide.

i see you everywhere
even after all these years
in red signs and neon lights;
in black coats of pedestrians
and in glimpses of blue banners.

i feel you everywhere
in lyrics of my favourite songs;
in random images of my dreams;
in the smell of petrichor
after a day full of rain;
in the cold that lingers at night;
and the crimson of my chamber.

i couldn’t help
but to miss you.
i couldn’t save you
even after playing that scene
countless times in my head.

with each replay, i notice
how beautiful you were even in your pain.
even in your fragile state you’re still alluring.
and even when you left me the beauty remained.
you’re just like a rose in a wedding decoration;
sublime, vibrant, but bleeding inside.

they said, “happiness is at the end of the tunnel.”
i know they mean well.
i know they’re correct.
however,
what most people tend to forget
is the fact that
some people are closer to the light than the others.
some of us have little trouble finding our way out.
some of us are still lost in the dark.
some of us are losing our way
and some of us just fade away.

nevertheless,
i still believe
that i will reach the end of this seemingly endless tunnel.
all i could do
while finding my way out
is to make peace
with the shadows.

little girl

with an ancient soul

once had warmth

in her core.

but as seasons change

people left

carrying her fire

in their hearts;

until there’s nothing

but the cold.

a lack of temperature

killed her inside.

dance with me tonight

to the sound of the rain

let the rhythm flows

into your veins

close your eyes, my dear

and let your mind wander

together we’ll find a better place

the rain will wash your tears

and your heart from anguish

don’t give your mind

a room for fears

for it will ruin you

dance with me tonight

hold me close and tight

it’s not the end of the world

hold my hand

and feel the cold

if it makes you feel alive

fix my broken parts

and i will mend your scars

we could live for another hundred years

dance with me tonight

hold me close and tight

it’s not the end of the world.
