Pillows getting tired catching teardrops
Searched for boogeyman underneath,
telling him to dry them this time


Wondering how long this would last
Shall I wait until the sun comes up?

No one knew she's dying to die
No one knew she's counting her breath
No one knew she needed help

But then,
no one also knew she survived alone
Drying up her own tears
picking up her broken glass
putting up a brave face
She did not came out from a storm
For she became one

Dragging herself out of bed
She stared at the damp grass ;
stared at the dew that seems to hold
unto the leaf of grudges.

Sipping in the freshness of the day,
a normal day for some ;
a lifetime darkness for her.

She who locks anxiety in her tiny chest,
kept piling up the bricks,
and created a wall of nausea.
She met her demons on a quiet suburb,
wanting them to stay -
for she was high on negativity.

Come and spoil me with your poetry
Undress me with words so enticing
Make love to me like I'm the only girl that exists in this world full of insecurities

We found ourselves smiling
In our tiptoed jokes
and in our drunk compliments

You spilled my wine but I don't care
we went down unto a boiling war
now we sat by the beach,
sunset glaring
and your eyes staring
I can finally say,
in your arms I'm home.

slowly
our tears danced with the rain
and people thought we're doing just fine
doubt and fear created our prison

staring at a warped window
we couldn't even fathom how to survive
the explosion going on in our chests

we couldn't even breathe
we couldn't even run
we couldn't even

Apparently , it was not the wind who told me you left

It was the sudden lightness feeling of my chest
It was the sudden brightness of the sun

It was the sudden laughter I'm no longer faking
It was the monochrome vision coming back to hues

It was the vision of me saving myself from drowning
It was the simple satisfaction of existing

It was happiness finding me again .

Your pain, my life
Your scream, my breathe
Your sweat, my tears
Your smile, my laugh

I was once your little bump
now you call me your biggest champ

I was once your sleepless night
but now you rest with that face so calm , so beautiful.

Your remarkable care, left us enthralled
Your kisses, your warmth

All great things we wish for you
have been captured by the zephyr
that'll stay in our hearts forever.

The moon's going extra tonight
illuminating the whole sea

two hearts, one shore
different beat, same waves

silence spoke thousands of emotions

one thought came, loud and melancholic
" love, before it's too late to love at all ".

These thoughts ,
silly as they are
they're what's inside me ;

and they're keeping me alive
even though they're slowly killing me .

we cried blood that night
you almost pulled the trigger
almost , as if the bullet was eager to kiss your lovely head
we locked eyes
and everything went dark
who kissed the bullet ?
it's a mystery we don't want unfolding

A heavy heart
A dying spark
A plot twisted with another plot twist
An endless storm
The list goes on
But ,
we stood still
Ignoring , hating , ignoring
