18 "I didn't lose my crown I melted it into armour."
The mere sight of you, your presence— makes my organs function peculiarly, unhinges me entirely, to the point I no longer recognize my own body. This is not me— so unlike me, to show this much emotion, to lose myself before something unfamiliar. I can't trust this foreign state, where I feel this vulnerable, where an uncanny euphoria erupts— against my will. I never agreed on this. If only deleting your existence were an option— as if you never were.

Foreign State
Love, you trailed me in my eclipse, gleaming like a forbidden star. I, hesitant at first, yet let you slither into my surreal realm— damp with loneliness. How foolish I was, never fighting hard enough to break the chains, to rip free from the haven. And so—you left. I couldn’t even see you fading until your absence was absolute. Now, the darkness that once embraced me shudders with your shadows, your memories bleeding into vision, haunting every dust in this place.

My Eclipse
You saw the man in him, fell in love, and chose to stay. But men grow tired; sometimes, they crumble beneath their own overwhelming strength. So one day, with only good wishes for you, he quietly left. You must have felt deeply betrayed when you saw him give forever to someone else. It was because she saw both the man and the child within him at once, and held them close to her heart like butterfly wings.

Men
The day has come to rest, and another is in waiting. Don't disappear yet, stay a little longer. This cold night and its solacing music flowing through the air, tinged with melancholia serenity ringing in my head. I feel I belong in this coldness, as if I can touch the sky, hold onto forever-drifting love. So stay a little longer.

Stay
Lend me your grief, I am aching to write something novel. Mine has weathered me thin; my quill ends up circling around that same drab and dolorous thing that furtively prays to live eternally within a mortal being.

Lend Me Yours
Hope is cruel and cursed. It binds our hearts in faith, yet grants no promises. Even in despair, it bewitches like an ancient charm, and from the shadows of the netherworld, it has us wishing upon shooting stars.

Hope
Her eyes — deep, beautiful, and numb — are so often mistaken for hollowness.

Her Eyes
Loneliness— so often mistaken for voids— is an unsteady hurricane which breaks forth in the hollow of your chest. Then occasionally, it flares out— your heart shakes in an uncanny ache, your lungs tighten, the air's heavier, your eyes a doorway through which rain gushes out, your head spins with hopeless dreams. And you poured it all into the abyss, hoping it would slow down, yet it comes back again and again until your eyes have finally been read.

Loneliness
There’s a hope that's waiting for you in the bright. Go make your way through the light. Keep walking in heels, you were made for a spotlight. I know it hurts. I get it when you’re stung by ugly judgments or when your shine goes unnoticed. For hope to walk into your dark is magic, and magic is rare. This world is seldom a fairytale. So let’s not keep that hope waiting any longer. It might grow lonely, thinking you’re cruel. Go now and gently— take its hand.

In the Light
Melancholic nights, wistful reverie— an enchanting man emerging from phantom shadows. My sweet-ache playlist on high, we dance in hypnotic rhythm, as if the stardust spotlight had found us, and there’s just us.
