I have forgotten how
real happiness tasted like.
I no longer remember
the last time when I wore an actual smile.

Now, I hardly believe in the
"happy v/s the sad" days
For now, its
"worse v/s the worst" days..

I look at the moon and think of you.
You cannot overcome life

You have to live through it
She
She looks through me
never seeing the love
I’m feeling for her
She’s tall and slim
with hair of sun
Her face, perfection
skin of rare complexion
that mouth unique
that will never speak to me
He said: “Let’s start.”
She said: “It’s the end.”
What’s the silver lining between start and end?

Swords hiss, armor clinks.
slash- scream- in- ache- out- red- peace.
Cannons roar, sky blurs.

a caged flesh flutters
-corpses pile up at my throat-
I won't say a word.

No need speaking, I need breath.

My tears are
saltier than the ocean’s

My heart is
heavier than Sisyphus’ rock

My secrets
that I buried beneath my
skin has turned into scars

My body is
but a graveyard
