if you are going to love me,
love me all, even when i break,
love me all, even when there are things left unsaid,
love me all, even when words is stuck between the throat to speak,
love me all, even when body is left in the cold being weak,
love me all, even when i cannot stand hypocrisy for you to plead,
love me all, even when i give myself in to my own defeat,
love me all;
even when you never said “i love you” which i refuse to believed.

if I can make only one request
would you dream of me?

A heavy ear
an empty heart
Breathless voice
with eyes that dart
Love forsaken
rebirthing pain
Hope redundant
—lost refrain

(The New Room: January, 2024)

Young heart don’t slow your rhythm
Your beat means so much more
Give it your all, keep us alive
Keep us alive
Young lungs don’t stop the flow
I hear your wheezing, don’t give in
Keep on till my hands reach the rope
Brain stay pure, the darkness isn’t home
it’s not to hang It’s for pulling up
Oh torn flesh, strained muscles
Just a little bit further
Keep your lids open, sunrise is upon us.
