writing helps me breathe (i think)
*if i ate a flower seed,* they say *would i be as beautiful inside as the flower that grew within me?* they ask and so i took a flower seed, popped it into my mouth and drank water to moisturize it everyday. i felt it grow and grow, i felt a leaf slipping between the hollows of my ribcage. i felt it cradle my lungs, a perfect description of a hopeless romantic tied to its lover. on one unfortunate day, however, the vines got hold of my beating heart too tightly. i gasped for air as the flower ****** the life out of me, but it continued to bloom without a care of my soul. and there i lay, motionless, dead as the flower blossomed out of my opened chest, making me beautiful inside out.

a leaf slipping through the hollows of my ribs
the heart that is pumping on your hand is my heart, struggling to live but as always, it will eventually die the knife that you're holding in your other hand is your knife, dipped in poison and is ready to **** to burn, to laugh (your face shows confusion but i know that you are lying) "what am i supposed to do with this?" **** it."* "why?" (you understand now) and you smile, you stab me repeatedly, crimson littering your skin blood spurts out of my mouth and i grimace-smile "wow, you really did it this time." "i must say i am a really good actor."

here's my heart, and here's a knife
the day we met you seeped inside my soul and became the substance inside my veins and arteries (you became my blood you are the only thing that kept me alive) the day you left you were still with me but you became the carbon dioxide that flowed inside my veins and arteries (you became my poison you are the only thing that kept me dying)

blood & poison
and it's time when the lights are shut off, and you realize, that the show has already ended and then you sit down, thinking *how did it end so fast? why did it end so fast?* and after that you start feeling scared of the prospect of the future that's full of the unknown danger but please remember darling, the show's not ending, the end is only the beginning

the exhilarating rush i always feel when i see your face is no longer exhilarating the smile that automatically pops up when you speak to me is no longer automatic (maybe now i am finally done with you using my love as your own plaything)

i traveled all the seven seas just to find you, just to find my black pearl the rushing tides and the angry waves would never make me stop searching for you (you)

rushing tides
first, if you're intoxicated,    don't be surprised       to see a lipstick stain (that's still fresh red)          on your cheeks. second, if you're intoxicated,    don't be confused       about who is the owner          of the number             embedded in your palms. lastly, if you're drunk with love,    don't be surprised       if you are knocked down       with only one smile.
