2 am
And I am wide awake
Singing myself to sleep
Anything to shut the voices in my head

These labyrinth of memories
Keep Reminding Me of all my past mistakes
Till at the regrets aggregate
To make my face.

3am
I just realised how
The roads I have walked on
Have always been  lonesome
And the homes I have made
Have always had a roof of stars
And a bed of earth.

Till one day my feet ran off the ground
And the sky turned out to be a cemetery
Of the wishes
The stars could never fulfill.

And like the stars I realised
How all the pretty things that shine
are slowly dying or ebbing


It is 4 am
And I'm curled up in a ball
Tick tock
Do I hear footsteps
Hello is anyone home?


These quiet hours
Keep growing louder every minute
Till I'm completely consumed
And I become one with the things that have always terrified me

And these words I wrote could never save me
Suddenly it was the silence of the dawn
That had set me free.


The alarm clock's ringing
Remind me it's 5 now
Time to get up
And prepare myself for another war.

And as I look at my reflection,
With pale skin and dark circles under my eyes
I wonder when exactly in the process of surviving
I forgot to exist

When did I become the person
I promised I would not be
Happy World's poetry day

Her dark eyes sang of wildness,
Her skin promised eternities,
But her heart was lost,
In a place she hoped to find him.

It's the first day of spring
but little it matters to my heart
where it is always winter.

It's the first day of the spring
And it has tore me apart again
Like an autumn wind.

It is the first day of the spring
But our eyes are still raining
For the memories of summer gone.

Surely
The day will be light
Darkness will be night
The wind will blow
While rivers flow
The sun will glow
As night creatures lay low
Why trouble incessantly
With what happens tomorrow
As long as earth remains earthly
All will come and go

Maybe it is the death
That makes the life so much more beautiful .

The bright yet flickering light,
Around which you must be careful.

Don't go crashing too fast
For it will be blown away,

Stare a minute too longer
And it will start to Decay

A heart like cemetery
Where every time you wish you had died but did not
A new grave was dug
And part of you was laid

A soul so wary
It does not seem to resonate with your age,
And it is always autumn all around you
And you are the leaves that have been let go of

A skin like porcelain
It does little to keep anything in
And all the light inside of you
Has been extracted.

But they cannot understand
And so you never tell,
You tiptoe around the edge of the knife
While waving back at them

As long as your smile does not falter
You'll be the pretty little star,
Flirtatious eyes
And envious remarks
Following every step you take

You have got holes in your heart,
But so what as long as they keep you afloat?
And life has been falling apart
From a year or four
But today, had turned out to be just okay
does this make sense

I have seen heroes take shelter in darkness, and villains smirk in light
Angels lose their Godly touch
And demons flourishing in their eyes.
