They wear a mask
because their own selves
they fail to trust
☔️

Don’t forget me all at once
Let me slip away in pieces.

Lose my voice today,
Tomorrow, my laughter,
Then that flicker in my eyes.

Let my words fade like old songs,
Let my kindness dissolve in silence.

I want to fall from your memory
Like raindrops
Dripping from a soaked branch
Not like a lifeless corpse.

☔️
Some departures deserve the courtesy of slowness. Not everything should vanish with a bang, some goodbyes ache sweeter in fragments.
When I asked the moon,
“Why are you always compared with beauty?”
Maybe it's because
I am the ugliest.

When I asked the rose,
“Why are you the first gift in love?”
Maybe it's because
I meant to end it.
Even they lied
In my room
I cry every day
Wishing I could fly
Go somewhere far away

I lie on my bed
Staring in one place
Imagining a window
A portal to space

A different timeline
Another life
My heart is bleeding
Slit by a knife

My blood pours out
Dripping like rain
I feel so numb
Drowning in my pain

Yesterday, today, tomorrow
A twisted mind game
Nothing has changed
It is still the same

My soul is empty
Overflowing with sadness
When will this end?
I can't take this madness

I fake a smile
It's all I know
I need a way out
Where do I go?

This reality is a nightmare
I feel happy when I cry
The misery will end
I'll feel alive when I die

I have memorized every inch of him
in hopes that when he goes
I might still have something left

but his picture fades with everyday
and now I have only shapes and shadows
of the man that I love
With love,
kelsey
I can no longer hide
My soul ignited

once disparaged
I long to share it

The chills in my spine put into words

Lips on skin
Eyes filled with sin

What is this sensation

I drip colors you cannot see

Heightening my passion
Enhancing my touch

Raw emotion channeled as such

My desire aches
The color of flush
My cage breaks
Expressions of lust

I do not fear it
I can hear you blush

My favorite sound

Our souls combust
My restless soul longs for something fulfilling
