I wanna bottle up the memories of you Filter my blood of your poison Detach your roots, the roots you sunk so deeply into my heart Erase the taste of your hesitant lips from mine **** the paradoxical sensation of your hands caressing my thighs Forget the way your eyes light up when you look at me Estinguish the flaming desires blazing inside me Burry the letters you wrote me with your shaky hands Burn the traces of you on every inch of my skin I wanna bottle up the memories of you Let them simmer for years Just like fine wine For you were my sweet addiction I was hooked on every aspect of you. Every dimension of your being Ignited a fire in my ***** Made me go mad Mad for the love we felt but never had Sent me on endless journeys within the murrals of my overworked brain Got me moaning, screaming Rushed my adreline like a hurricane invading every pillar of my body Dilated my pupils Intensified the beats of my fragile heart Clogged the flow of blood to my head Forced my teeth into my lips, even yours I wanna bottle up the memories of you As the few thing that create this bittersweet sensation and trigger the smallest cells of my being-- Other than the trembling flame of your liveliness-- Are the taste of wine burning the insides of my mouth while the substance slowly blurrs my tired eyes The smell of a book whose pages await the touch of my fingers absorbing each of the letters The hazy feeling of worn-out eyes at the end of a day free of frames The cold temperature of ice cream warmed up by the heat of melted chocolate The smoothness of the soul of a tea cup covering the frames of my glasses The sound of the sweet combination of words and notes blasting through my earphones And the bottled up memories of you Left to simmer for years Just like fine wine Burning the insides of my mouth Till my eyes get tired of looking for your face in a faceless crowd

Bottle up the memories of you
I wanna bottle up the memories of you Filter my blood of your poison Detach your roots, the roots you sunk so deeply into my heart Erase the taste of your hesitant lips from mine **** the paradoxical sensation of your hands caressing my thighs Forget the way your eyes light up when you look at me Estinguish the flaming desires blazing inside me Burry the letters you wrote me with your shaky hands Burn the traces of you on every inch of my skin I wanna bottle up the memories of you Let them simmer for years Just like fine wine For you were my sweet addiction I was hooked on every aspect of you. Every dimension of your being Ignited a fire in my ***** Made me go mad Mad for the love we felt but never had Sent me on endless journeys within the murrals of my overworked brain Got me moaning, screaming Rushed my adreline like a hurricane invading every pillar of my body Dilated my pupils Intensified the beats of my fragile heart Clogged the flow of blood to my head Forced my teeth into my lips, even yours I wanna bottle up the memories of you As the few thing that create this bittersweet sensation and trigger the smallest cells of my being-- Other than the trembling flame of your liveliness-- Are the taste of wine burning the insides of my mouth while the substance slowly blurrs my tired eyes The smell of a book whose pages await the touch of my fingers absorbing each of the letters The hazy feeling of worn-out eyes at the end of a day free of frames The cold temperature of ice cream warmed up by the heat of melted chocolate The smoothness of the soul of a tea cup covering the frames of my glasses The sound of the sweet combination of words and notes blasting through my earphones And the bottled up memories of you Left to simmer for years Just like fine wine Burning the insides of my mouth Till my eyes get tired of looking for your face in a faceless crowd

Take me back to the time when the only concerns of mine were cartoons and coloring pens. When I was not stuck behind this fence, trying to escape to a better place, trying to avoid the problems I face. Where the lights are darker; the nights are longer; and the sorrow is lighter. Where the pain is fading, and the scars are healing. Where I can finally breathe, again. Where I'm not at a dead end. Where I can look in the mirror and see beyond the bruised up picture. Where there is no reflection, no sight of agonizing perplexions, no sight of a face that is painted black. Borrowed but never given back, this heart is not mine. Those eyes are not mine. I see the present but am stuck in the past. I get drunk on the toxins racing just as fast as the memories holding me back in chains. I get high on the thoughts smoked up in my brain. I struggle to stay alive outside of myself. This body has become a prison by itself. Living inside the walls of this cell has made my vision too foggy, my hands too ****** my will too sloppy, my days too rocky, my mind too cloudy; to act sane, to try and maintain, the fake play staged for the fools who will laugh and point fingers at you as soon as you leave the room. You are a freak show; at you, money they throw; betting how much more you'll last until all things holding you together collapse, until you become a forgotten story of the past.

Take Me Back
I look around searching for myself, I look for a sign to know where I dwell. I can see my hands, my nose, my feet. I can smell, taste, hear, and feel. I have emotions, loud and clear; I have feelings of love and fear, I am a soul in a stranger's body, I am a prisoner of a world too haughty. What is a house when it does not feel like home? What is a family when your true self cannot be shown? Why does finding someone who understands you seem so hard? Why does trying to be yourself only makes you fall apart? Who said life is all about pleasing others? Who said life is all about being mothers? Is faking how you feel really worth it? Is practice enough to make you perfect? Are those voices in my brain really there? Are those people being honest and fair? Am I the only one who feels alienated? Am I the only one who feels castrated? Tell me, am I skinny enough to fit the standards? Tell me, am I smart enough to have manners? Tell me now, do I have a pretty face? Tell me now, do I deserve to be chased? Does it look like I am chaste? Does it look like I am straight? Will I ever escape the system? Will I ever not be a victim? Can I, for once, close my eyes Can I, for once, see a world free of lies?

Lies of a Lost Generation
Like a piece of wrinkly gold Color blinding, shape so bold Emerging from the brown earth Like the sunrays on a day’s birth Surface caresses the skin with its bumps The road of life felt by the thumb Up and down; perfect symmetry Radiant shine fills the eyes, so glittery. Peel away the shell of gold Gems and stones slowly unfold Brown as dirt; mighty treasures Hazel heart full of pleasure The tongue is lost; no maps, no measures Melting surface in the cave of the mouth Blissful substance drowning south Dissolving into a heavenly taste No plan in mind, unknown faith Just one tale in utopian pace Traveling down the narrow tube Shape deformed; no circles, no cubes A melting cure for dreadful blues

A Cure for Blues
Let your lips play around with mine Adrenaline explodes through your eyes Heart starts racing Skipping beats when it's you i'm facing Not used to breaking free from my control It sinks into my lungs where it unfolds The sweetest pleasure of this new experience Overwhelmed with the surreality of your existence Yet it shelters itself in the warmth of your hands Roaming around not knowing where to stand Blushing red, rose shy To let the world know that you're mine But pink cheeks and intimidated emotions Draw it deeper And deeper into the shadows of your motions To cover up the intensity of their flow. Thus ask your heart for it knows The celebration that my body throws Each time you come close Each time my aura interwinds with yours Each time my spirit senses the pulses of your soul

Weaving Shelters
My palms are numb from holding on To your hands that keep them warm My fingers get stuck in yours From carrying them for too long My heart jumps up and down It skips a beat but keeps beating on Till my eyes get ahold of yours Staring at me, drowning me in Grasping the image of my reflection Like i'm the definition of perfection My cheeks will always be waiting to be sheltered I'm ready to love you with all my senses My body is a thousand feet above the ground floating on air And it does not care I'm high on something that cannot be shared When asked "why him, not someone else" I don't have anything to say except I love when your hands touch mine I love the feelings they trigger inside I love when you kiss my forehead When you look at me and you almost forget To breathe so you order yourself to look away I love it when you get shy When your lips say you wanna kiss me but instead; You lower your head Close my eyes and smile I love when you hold me and look straight in my eyes When i stuff my head in your chest When i hear your heart that refuses to rest I love when you kiss my hand When you hug me so tight that i can't Help but feel so tiny With your hands wrapped around me And my head under your neck What i hate is That i can't describe the things i love about you Unless i wanna limit myself to a couple of pages to view What i hate is That from all the poems that i wrote This must be the cheesiest That's the best i've got Let's give it another shot I love when you say that you do I love that i feel the same way too

Heart on My Sleeve
My palms are numb from holding on To your hands that keep them warm My fingers get stuck in yours From carrying them for too long My heart jumps up and down It skips a beat but keeps beating on Till my eyes get ahold of yours Staring at me, drowning me in Grasping the image of my reflection Like i'm the definition of perfection My cheeks will always be waiting to be sheltered I'm ready to love you with all my senses My body is a thousand feet above the ground floating on air And it does not care I'm high on something that cannot be shared When asked "why him, not someone else" I don't have anything to say except I love when your hands touch mine I love the feelings they trigger inside I love when you kiss my forehead When you look at me and you almost forget To breathe so you order yourself to look away I love it when you get shy When your lips say you wanna kiss me but instead; You lower your head Close my eyes and smile I love when you hold me and look straight in my eyes When i stuff my head in your chest When i hear your heart that refuses to rest I love when you kiss my hand When you hug me so tight that i can't Help but feel so tiny With your hands wrapped around me And my head under your neck What i hate is That i can't describe the things i love about you Unless i wanna limit myself to a couple of pages to view What i hate is That from all the poems that i wrote This must be the cheesiest That's the best i've got Let's give it another shot I love when you say that you do I love that i feel the same way too

They say pain demands to be felt With the deepest part of your heart With all your senses, the ones left From a numb body that has been shot With sharp arrows that slowly lead to your death Torturing your spirit till you feel it escape from your chest Running away from the suffering Tearing up your skin, layer by layer Leaving marks and signs everywhere Stabbing your heart fearlessly along the way.. And suddenly blood rushes through your veins You feel the adrenaline racing the cells of your brain A thought freezes the tremendous pain The thought of him reinforces the army that stands against you The whole world stops to embrace it too Finding the source of the bombs That exploded all at once It was not pain triggered by the absence of your loved one, no Not the plague that infects your heart once in a while, no Not the butterflies at war in your stomach when you see him, no Something toxic and dark; above all It is,indeed, his presence that tortures your soul With words that rip you apart like a sword

Plague
Lonely candle on my birthday cake Gasping for attention, putting its life at stake The lonely candle wants to dance and celebrate, Wave its shimmery flame although it's shy but my, Nobody willing to bring it to life. Sailing by itself on chocolate waves Searching for the one thing its heart craves: To be lit up by a generous hand To be serenaded with warming chants Willing to sacrifice its new-born life; to see a smile On that well-rounded face of mine Willing to give in to my lips, Revealing scars left behind my teeth that bit The silky surface while making a wish, Stealing the candle's light with a single blow It doesn't mourn to the loss of its glow But melts of joy as it knows That it was the center of the show Put on every year to ease my blues Hoping that some of the wishes made upon its death Will give life to the chance of them coming true Lonely candle in the darkness Know that I honor and thank your kindness For you've given me enlightenment on this day That was supposed to be filled with happiness, not pain Bursting with sun rays, not rain But instead, i'm devastated to say Today was the worst of all birthdays

Lonely Candle
Feel the darkness beneath your skin Your beating heart stealing the thread of light that is too thin Too thin, too weak to make it in That its existence blooms with the sparkles in your eyes; Rarely to brighten up these two starless skies As rarely as the sun warms up the winter lands Or the rain waters the dried-out summer plants. It's not long before those sparkles fly out When you look up to the heavens, Hugging the fortunate souls with your cloudy skies Your mind wants to scream, wants to shout it out Let the world know that the trembling in your galaxy The lonely black stones in your eyes The unheard pain buried deep in the sea In a little abandoned box that nobody chooses to see Isn't an exaggeration of a misled fantasy Not a trauma caused by the toughness of your daily life Not a scar from a sharp knife But a sign of insecurity Towards yourself, your beauty Your size, your weight, your height, your color, your religion Your fears, your weakness, your beliefs, your addiction Now paralyzed, can't take a decision You don't want to fail Don't want to regret Don't want to loose the sparkles that you have left Don't want to feel lonely in the darkness Don't want to be left alone with your thoughts Don't want them to make you believe another beautiful lie

Black and White
These days seem so empty Feels like sorrow has gotten to me Sadness, emptiness..set me free Layers of rocks stacked over my lungs Air struggles to get In And Out Like a thief breaking into a random house Secretly, silently sneaking In And out Comes in empty-handed Leaves charged with guilt, can't stand it It being the though of having disturbed The strange soul living inside of me That feels imprisoned in its own body Knees tremble, nothing worth fighting for Giving up on bones, falling straight down to the floor Tired of carrying all this hope Cause it's time to let go Of everything that ties us up and drags us down Powerlessness is a strong enough sign That Money doesn't grow on trees Karma is really a ***** that can never be pleased Starving empty stomachs live under the shadows of luxurious villas Selfishness will soon **** us Countries are suffering from terrorism While we limit ourselves to caring about materialism This isn't a fight to live, it's to survive From the cruelness that has taken over and strived
