Three AM
When the eyes can close
But the minds don't shut
They say penguins can't fly
But they do
In her world, where we lived on clouds
Magic and Superpowers
Where people were real
And not.
The dark haired boy whose named she couldn't fix,
And light haired Liz, with her tall brother Will.
Sleeping in caves, hunger games style
Skipping through stories, shifting through worlds
Safe spaces,
Born within the mind
Distort reality when it hurts
'Escape realms'
Worlds change from fantasies to dreams
To insecurities, hatred and pain
But the ceiling remains the same
Dull
And plain.

Your long hair streaked with white
Sun shimmering it to silvers
Once soft slender hands now withered
Yet when you smile,
Years passed come running back.
I hold your hand
Promising to never let go.
Your daughter's eyes glistened
When you called her 'mom'.
Moments slowly ebbing out of your mind's reach
When did it start slipping away?
The moon falling on your soft skin
As the water played the rhythm
Lying in my arms,
naming constellations,
You said
"Into the stars we melt"
I smiled and stroked your hair
But darling,
You don't remember
Not even the feel of my name on your lips
Your wrinkled hands still fit into mine
So perfectly
The dark circles holding up your eyes
Fireflies
Glowing within them
Struggling to grasp,
the remaining shards of fading tales
Almost completely forgotten;
Clinging to the dying memories.

On cement
You lie
Broken
Edges still raw
Left alone
Forgotten
Once treasured
Now abandoned
Oh how you adorned those long fingers
With painted nails
Your silver encircling her pride
Yet time had strained your vivacity
And had broken your frame
Fallen
You stayed
Among those anxious feet
Waiting for those long familiar fingers
Only to be picked up by strangers
Admired
Then thrown away
For a broken ring, like a broken person, was of no use to them.

Her soul's poetry
Written in deep dark ink,
Gushing through her veins
Etched across her bones
A tale untold
The world rebounds on touching her surface
Nothing ever leaves a mark
Or atleast
That is what she makes believe
Breathing life ,
She walks into the crowded room
Hidden behind her jokes and laughter.
Comedy weaving up the tragedy .
Humour , the only link to her sanity.
She breathes
Broken, unnoticed.
The world brushes past her touch
Blind.
Oblivoius to the struggle.
Her mind, toxic to her soul
Her skin, her veil.
Yet, her pillows talk of red swollen eyes
And endless nights
Gazing at the moon
Half hidden beneath the clouds
Reflecting light
To cloak the darkness seeping within .
She draws her blinders shut
While her guitar weeps her wounds
The cadence of misery
Into the world of rhythm, she slips.
When shall the masquerade end ?
She walks away
Into the fog
On her own
Brick after brick
A fortress she built
And locked within her own incarceration,
Short haired rapunzul
Afraid to let the knight reach within .
vows of saviours, never heed.
Her facade, flawless
Yet not deceiving those little eyes
Searching for the truth beneath the illusion.
Decrypting the inscrutable dissimulation.
To those pair of eyes,
Slowly fading into oblivion
Lost within it's own ceaseless blue
Seeking for the line between the black and grey.
Her voice , liberating .
Finding its way within the chaos,
Resuscitating.
Giving life to a long forgotten voice
which whispers,
"Take off the masque, You're beautiful. "

Whispers , whispers in my head..
"Walk along with me into the darkness , the darkness ..
Entrancing , enthralling ...
Give in , let go.. "
Floating into oblivion
Hope fading away
Pain peircing from within ,
Overwhelming rage..
Whispers, whispers in my head..
" Dont turn away , dont trust them,
Walk alone , all alone ...
Blow out that candle ,
Those shadows won't haunt you anymore "
Anger clawing into my bones,
Agony ripping my soul
The never ending spiral..
Whispers, whispers in my head ..
" Descend , descend.. "
" Deeper , Deeper .. "
Mirrors , mirrors all around
Monsters drawing in ..
Whispers, whispers in my head..
" Dont fight them, let your reflections remain.. "
Fear rooting me
Clutching me tight..
I shriek, until my lungs give out
Terror, gripping my throat ..
Whispers , whispers in my head..
" Shhh , dear
There's the blade ."
Whispers, whispers in my head..
" ....Sweet , sweet death ..."

You cut
You scar
You overpower
And by tattered bits we try to cover
You hit
You swear
You hungrily glare
And our body satiates your hunger
You touch as if we were clay
You cheaply play
You make us undeserving to stay
We are characterless
But you?
You are a gentleman to they

She dug my grave
And I'm buried alive
I screamed and choked ,
Silt in my throat .
Every breath I take is her toxic smoke
She clawed through me ,
Into my soul .
I fought for light,
A gleam of hope
And she hurled me into her void.
Her ears ***** up to every monster's call.
Her waves engulfed me,
And now I drown in her sea.
I live in her shell .
She shall never bend
And so shall i never blend . .
Her wrath forever shone ,
in those bloodshot eyes.
Ice cold daggers in my chest.
Her hunger never fed,
Craving for my flesh .
Her burns charred my skin
Her words, poison in my tongue .
Vicious torment in eternal hell
Utter despair, a mutual friend
And self harm, her anesthetic .
From beneath Satan's abode
I cry to thee
Wake me up
From this ceaseless dream
Yet, Dawn shall never come
And this war shall never end.
For her blood runs in my veins
And her fury in my bones ..
