I’ll ask the winds to blow, to carefully kiss you for me.
It’s the gentle whisper of the breeze you meet by the sea.

It will caress your skin, softly brushing over your cheeks.
Carry you forward when you don’t trust in your leaps.
It will calm you down when life becomes too much to bear.
Help you breathe when it seems like there is no more air.
It will hold you in its whirls, that’s how you’ll know I’m there.
Because while I’ll search for you, I’ll leave you in its care.

So, when the winds whisk you away, please don’t be scared.
It’s just a reminder - my love is yours - and will never be shared.
Mercury Aug 20
I try, and I try, and I try
All the pictures and people
My head is full of questions
Just why, just why, just why?

The way they talk and smile
Their hands burn on my skin
Longing to be loved and to love
For the effort to be worthwhile

But my heart just doesn’t feel
In its place is left a concave
My chest fully hollowed out
Brain learning to take the wheel

But still, you are in my mind
And my dreams are exactly why
I can’t fall in love in real life
Because loving you has made me blind
Mercury Aug 20
They say we all carry only one half of a soul.
Lost on this earth till we become whole.
I wonder who carries the other half of mine.
And how long I must wander till our paths entwine.

Do you believe that all of this is true?
Do you spend your days looking for me too?
I wonder if you’ve heard all this before.
Or maybe you don’t care what fate has in store.

But wherever I go, I promise to search for you.
Hoping that one day you’ll walk into my view.
I might not know your name or how you're going to look,
But I promise to love you with my heart’s every nook.

Until that day comes, I will love you in writing.
Because when it comes to my heart, there is no hiding.

me.
All the words in this world seem too narrow to describe the being that is me

So why put myself in a box when I could just choose to be free?
Mercury Aug 19
I hear whispers in the night. I yell, “Who are you?”
Only my own voice answers

I cross my hands and pray that what it tells me is not true
Why can’t I tell?

I must have gone crazy… Are the bruises on my skin new?
Pain I can’t feel

I see the world clouded, my view fading under dew
Who am I?
Is insanity the only way I won't feel lonely?
Mercury Aug 19
What if I never become more than I am now?
If I have buried myself too deep into the ground?

My promises of the future are just an empty vow
My dreams a flicker of life, that will never be found

I swear that I really gave life a shot, and I tried
But it seems like my lifeline got twisted and tied

So, when the silence falls, let me whisper my final wish
Allow me to admit out loud that I’m ready to quit

And just pray with me, that it will be quick
Sometimes our best isn't good enough.
Mercury Aug 19
the burning hatred
has become all I am inside

it is rooted so deep
that from it I can no longer hide

because the malice
is suffocating me like a vine

I can’t even remember
when was the last time

there was a memory
I could proudly call mine
I don't know when I became so angry.
