Sometimes I write poems, but most of the times I like to write. I know it defeats the purpose of this website but I feel like this is the next best platform to share my ideas. Plots that pop up in my mind randomly, maybe at 3 in the morning or perhaps it could be in the late afternoon. God knows what goes through my brain.
maybe i don’t like you
maybe i like the idea of liking you
maybe i don’t like being lonely
maybe i like being alone
you see it’s hard for me
it’s hard to know what i feel
because what else can you expect
from someone who doesn’t
f e e l a n y t h i n g
having a heart keeps you alive
but it doesn’t make you feel alive
i can’t tell you what anger feels like
i can only tell you what it sounds like
i can’t tell you what sadness feels like
i can only tell you their signs
i can’t tell you what happiness looks like
i can only tell you it doesnt last
i see the world in colours
they tell me what that person is feeling
they tell me who that person is
they tell me the secrets they hold
but i can’t tell you how it feels like
because i can’t feel
i can’t feel
i can’t feel
i can’t feel
but why do i feel something
when i think of you?

Another minute goes by and I'm not thinking about your
eyes
lips
hair
nose
hands
heart
soul.
Maybe it's because I have left the prison I built for myself,
or it's probably due to the fact that I have seen galaxies in the eyes of another.
I don't need you anymore;
you're just a ghost in the background,
an insubstantial space in my garden that will never bear flowers.

the mirror is my enemy
my body is a vessel
my soul has blackened the tender parts of my mind
and imprinted on the exterior
i couldnt help but stare
at my reflection and feel
nothing but hatred and anger
knowing that; i emptied myself
i hate it
i hate my vessel

it's funny how a person's scent continues to linger
even though they haven't been around for ages
or maybe worn that shirt you still keep
at the bottom of your wardrobe
it's sad that after all this time,
i still remember the way you smiled
every time you laugh,
your eyes crinkle up and your laughter propagates
filling the emptiness inside of me
maybe it's my fault
that i've invited you in
and allowed you to build a home for yourself
i can't let you go
but at the same time i can't wait
to kick you out

i've learnt
how fragile the human mind can be
it shatters at a single thought
but strengthens when threatened
i've realised
how easier it is to breathe
without you occupying my thoughts
and intoxicating my lungs
with your scent
i've missed it so
i've accepted
that i could never be wholesome enough
for you to love
that you could never open up
to the poison laced between my words
we are worlds apart
and i'm slowly pulling myself together
to acknowledge that we'll always stay that way

i'm such an idiot
i chased around,
trying to catch the brightest star
when i already had the world in my palms
if i could measure the amount of how sorry i feel,
even the boundaries of space wouldn't be enough
i regret being so blind
that i couldn't see my fingers in front of me
i don't deserve you
but if you choose to give me one more chance,
i wouldn't waste it
you are the only thing that matters right now,
and i don't want to lose the main reason why i'm trying everyday to get better

i've watched the way the sun kisses the earth,
early in the morning.
i've seen the way waves embrace
the shoreline like an old forgotten lover.
i've witnessed how words,
could break a person.
i've experienced the way,
the light went out from your eyes
and i've understood the real meaning
of what it feels like
to be hollow.

I fell in love with a boy
whose smile outshined the stars in the night sky
I fell in love with a boy
who couldn't stop laughing
with the crinkles by his eyes
making him look older than he is
I fell in love with a boy
who had dreams
big ones too,
and the world was his oasis
I fell in love with a boy
who could make the saddest story
have a happy ending
I fell in love with a boy
and how lucky I feel
to have loved than never loved at all.

We all have to make them
doesn't matter if it's good or bad
you'll still face the consequences
and the setbacks of life
So what if someone comes from a different background?
So what if the sky's not blue today?
Is the world ending?
You see,
perspective is key
and the way you perceive things
may be different from someone else's.
The reason why fights still occur (in my opinion)
is the decisions that they make.
To be, or not to be?
That is the question.

i want to believe that i'm worthy of care
that someone out there could love me,
accept my quirky innuendos and
sullen moments
i want to believe that
the thoughts of me could cloud someone's mind
and make it impossible to forget
because i've been cast aside one, too many times
to put faith in the impossible
