This moment
Too bold to put in words
Too stunning to be confined in a photo frame

so I tattooed it on my heart
imprinted it on my bones
feel it flow in my blood

I grab it tight
hold it close

I did not let go
even when I reach the end of the fall
and my body breaks into a million stones

There's a time where all I wanted to do was blend in
Then I realise being different gives me such thrill
I embraced it
Then all i wanted to do was stand out

People never listen anymore
With ears
They seek out the one who loves to spread words

People never care anymore
With ears
They thought have understood the story from the narrator

Infact they were the sidekicks
The insignificant petty villagers

While they could have asked the characters themselves
Paint the picture themselves
They don't care anymore
To put the effort in
They would rather just hear it from somewhere
Then pretend they learnt everything there is to learn about the story

Fact is
It wasn't your story to care for at the first place
It's not caring it's plain boredom and hopes to be the holy judge of 'none of their business'
Care is not like that

When will the peasants see
The truth
the truth that lies
lies between the teller and facts
the teller and players
Listen with your heart and not your ears

Your lips are so foreign,

I'd like to kiss them until they become home.

twenty-two
taught me to never
Abandon.
like my father

it taught me that it is not
Blind.
like my mother

it taught me it is to
Carry.
like any other burden

it taught us to
Dance. for
Eternity...

that life can be
Filled. with
Genuine.
Happiness.

we are barely twenty.
yet it was, is, will be
Infinite.
Love taught me how to love.

Fate has been the kindest
Defying society's cruelty
It tries its best to preserve
the shattered dreams and fantasies

Fate wept for the brokenhearted
Don't **** it
Fate is on our side

Why can’t we just run away?
Far from this
Anywhere could be home.

They say make a life out of this.
We chose life outside of this

Still it is ours
Not a dream
But the dream

Cuddly stuffed
Soft as pillows
Smooth sensation

Sweet tooth
From beaten cream
Melting into colours

Crackling woods
Bliss surrounding
Peace at home

Eyes on you
On my side,
between white sheets
Simple for eternity
