20/F Just a girl who loves to write
in my dreams, i see you. i see you looking my way when i pretend i'm looking elsewhere. i see you secretly smiling when i say something dumb. i see you right there in front of me; i see you trying to find my little finger under the table and i - i see the same look in your eyes that i have in mine. do you know what it is? (Let's pretend you do.) you are everywhere and nowhere but in my dreams, i see you. in my dreams, i see something i can't have.

you saw the world in grey ashes and burnt kingdoms. (i saw the world with you in it.) you saw the world fall apart on its own rebellion refusing to accept what is, not what should. you saw men ****** men, pirates conquering homes and land, women selling their virtues and sinners stealing them. you saw wars within wars of peace, a slaughterhouse of the wicked standing atop of the hill with their blood stained flag waving at you. you saw oceans turning into deserts, deserts turning into oceans, of fire reaching the ice and turning them into lava. you saw it. you saw children with lost innocence wandering into the hands of death, saw hearts growing dark - too dark, too worn out, too good - wanting to survive from the clutches of the enemy. you saw the eyes of the rich filled with mirth and amusement as they stare down at you, desire and lust dripping down to their lips chanting filthy words mixed with poison liquids. you saw everything. you saw the world in its glory of thorny thrones, kings devour kings, men stealing women, children left in the dark under the sewage to rot. you saw hands of drunken men slip past rich men's pockets, their souls dark - too dark, too worn out, too good - trying to survive from the chains of slavery. you saw the world in its own, saw the world fall apart on its own refusing to accept what is, not what should. you saw the world through dark - too dark, too worn out, too bad - veils where your lips cant move, sewed tight from oppression and the world. you saw it - saw the world for what it is. (i saw the world with you in it; i saw the world for what it can be with you in it: beautiful.)

you and the world

the flowers bloomed under my chest cavity; overtaking my ribs, suffocating my lungs, growing a garden right from the bottom of my heart. the roots dug inside my organs; piercing my flesh, crawling up my throat, squeezing out my air and gripping the words down under. theres a garden of heartbreak that bloomed just for you. stealing my pulses, stopping my heartbeats, waiting for something you cant give; your love.

'Tell me a story' you say Your voice a lullaby Like flowers in the dark Blossoming in the night 'Alright' I answer as my voice begins And your eyes hold mine While you try to listen. I begin with a man who loved a girl Who would do anything for her Anything at all. He loved her deeply, but did she? No But that foolish man still, he loved alone Stabbing pain and sweet torture Where he can hold, but never to have her As these meaningless *** became so much more But the girl of course was just as cold So the man,heartbroken, left to heal In hopes of forgetting how she made him feel. 'So what happened next?' Your angel voice asked And I answer you with a bitter laugh I look into your eyes and see this innocence As I shake my head, quite dumbfounded So I continue my tale with the foolish man Who never got over that heartless woman. When she came back to him once more Without hesitation, he agreed to her So this chase, this never ending chase Like a loyal dog chasing after his owner He fell harder for her, so hard it hurt But she remained there, not feeling at all While he was crashing and burning alone in love She's only there for him, just for the f***. 'That's quite a sad story' you finally say As you burrow yourself, beside me you lay 'He's a fool' I say and I heard you laugh 'Yes, he is' you answer back. You fell asleep after just seconds While I'm wide awake all night Thinking of that story ans that pathetic man A wry smile forms, a bitter regard As I lie awake naked, with a married woman.

'I love you Jane' A bitter laugh escape               as you say to yourself How can she say it back                when she's already dead.

An orb of all gray and storm Sinister and dark I see it, I see your eyes.

gray
You remind me of the sky Endless and vast Blue that turns black Filled with clouds and stars and the moon A galaxy in a form of you. Drops of rain in summer blocks of ice in winter The air in your atmosphere I greedily breathe in Unconciously falling deep. You remind me of the sky And i, a river Blue to black and black to blue A catastrophic beauty in a form of you A galaxy of my own An impossible nexus between the sky and the river One i will never reach.

Its kind of funny Your eyes burn bright with light When you look into his eyes Like you see the whole universe In all its glory in front of you And these smiles you give him Are sweeter than honey in lovely may. Its kind of funny Your hands entwine together And you say they fit perfectly Like they belong to one another And you see yourself with him Sitting on a rocking chair In front of the porch All gray and old in time. Its kind of funny In an ocean of nameless crowds You can already tell him apart Like there's no reason and you just know Like your soul searches for him alone And you let yourself be carried away In that waves of emotions. Its kind of funny That you know everything about him And his every lines Like you memorized him in your mind So that you'll never forget Just an inch of his face And the way he made you feel. Its kind of funny That your heart belongs to him Just as how his belongs to you And there he was across the room With your eyes following his every move Just like how his eyes can't take his off you. It's kind of funny Your suppressed confession swallowed Even from a pastor or a pope But my eyes know what i see What your lips cannot tell Cause even when you say you love me It really is kind of funny.
