So today made a pact with tomorrow
to run away.
Gently closing the door as I lay.
Leaving me here alone with yesterday.
Strange flowers
with a strange hue.
Strange birds over them flew.
From a strange leaf dripped a strange a morning dew.
Still nothing stranger...
than an estranged you.


A time revisited.

Would you still love me if the night spoke my sin,

if the ash of my mistake clung to our bodies,

if the wind carried whispers of my guilt

and our skin bore the scent of shattered stars—

would your hands still gather me from the void?

My mom is at the edge of tears
Every time the situation is mentioned
I have to be strong
Because she can’t crumble
I have to be strong
Because It’s my turn
I want to be strong
Because it’s my turn
I need to be strong
Because she’s everyone’s rock
I will be strong
Because I am her rock.

the sun sets quietly,
as if it’s tired of being seen.
I wonder if I‘d do the same
if I could.

Snow falling down
It bring beautiful
Peace to the world
Blanketing ti to  make
It sparkle and joyous

a restless jitter;
skin-deep promises, unkept:
no nails left to bite.

mind commits a crime:
renders the body unsafe;
the soul bears witness.
