i know you are just, arm-reach
but every time i try touching you
all i could feel are shadows
an emptied feeling;
from the memories of our past
the love we wished to no end would last
the promises we made to words,
like smokes- gone so fast

i tried speaking out to you
but all i could hear are echoes;
of the scars you left
in my heart, i couldn't lift
of the voices that haunts
from my soul through my head

i tried...

i tried everything
from the sounds of our laughters
so genuine we cried out tears of joy
from the comfort of our touches
so tender we slept out of chaos
from letters we wrote
so innocent and full of effort we exchanged trusts-

we exchanged trusts
but you were careless enough
that you broke it into pieces
i couldn't help
but crawl and shout for help
even though i knew no one could hear
for the voices i made
were only whispers against the wind

so i burned myself
and into ashes i turned
and dusts
and called out for the rain
to wash away my remains
but even the rain wouldn't listen
so i called out for the wind
to carry me somewhere
my heart, my soul, my mind could rest
but even the wind is dead enough
to grant my undying wish

take me! take me!
i shouted with voices so dull
i couldn't feel myself shouting
for love
for help
for care

until a hurricane came
and took this undying pain-
with a smile
i bid goodbye to the world where vanity reign.

I know
it is way
too much
to compare
your eyes
with stars,
when they're
just bits of you.

You have not just
captured my heart
but you gave it
a place, i call-
home

But oh, love
you are all metaphor
to me
my kind of
golden sunset
shining on the horizon
of my restless sea
and I am your weary sailor
lost in the twilight
of your beauty

she said
she's fine-
in drowning tears

they asked me
to write a sad story
so I wrote your full name-
their thoughts were troubled
since they didn't know
there was an us,
right,
there was never

I scribbled through my thoughts,
looking for inspirations
to write an awesome piece-
but I fell into my soul
a den of emptiness
and found you somewhere
between my sorrows and tears

The pain
you're having
might leave scars-
yet, scars
were never unworthy
they might be heavy
but they're your trophies
of those countless victories;

So go on,
get defeated
and rise again
the next day
just like how Phoenix's do
from ashes,
you'll grow
to the most
beautiful you

But darling,
it is not enough
to just watch
you shine
and marvel
at your beauty
I must tell
the world as well
that fairy tales
are true
that there is
an unrivaled beauty
that there is you

love me harder
like it's a bad-***
thing to do
