what a big writer you are,
with tears serving you as ink
in the end, always
leaving nothing behind

the reason I might let you go is because
I want you to
experience
the instinctive abstinence
the rush of falling in love with someone new
the thrill of wanting to captivate a heart which is not already yours
the longing for someone who's not comfortable and bland
like me
I think you're yearning for it

take me somewhere where everything's silent
where we won't be heard
interrupted
take everything I am and everything I have
expel me from my body
and conserve me in yourself
as I turn perpetual in time

starless night
in disguise,
no sunrise
endless dark

i made a
promise, to myself
that when i get
older, i would
be better than
i was before
but i didn't know
that 'being better',
to other people,
meant
doing impossible
so it's no wonder
that i am no good
       that i cannot do good
that i
cannot
.
.
.
be better
.
.
.

when all
of my effort meant
nothing
to the people i
loved the most

"take my hand", I said
but you couldn't catch me
because I've already
turned into dust
and now the only way to get me
is to salute the wind
and I never wanted you to know
but that's why I lived;
the only reason was
the hope that one day
you'd see what I see,
miracles and beauty;
that you'd love life through nature
I put my soul into making it better

but yet, I never thought
you'd never salute my migrating grave
I never expected you didn't care
never saw you don't think of me
never saw, never saw
you don't love me

maybe it's better,
that I've turned into dust.

i had learnt that
a "today" has to be blurry,
filled with gray clouds, and painful,
so that your "tomorrow" can be bright;
happy, without worries,
full of hope and delight,
but
every day is "today"
and "tomorrow"
is always out of touch, out of reach,
painfully untouchable
because tomorrow is always
the next day, postponed,
as every joy turns into dark,
as every tomorrow becomes
a today.
