Wrapped in a worn-out blanket,
it feels eerie that I have an unsettling vibe from this blanket,
but somehow it offers solace and retreat;
with its fibers gentle to my touch.

I detest the way I vividly recall,
the frowns mapped all over my foe's face;
the obnoxious smile carved at the edge of their lip,
indicated inkling of contentment upon puncturing my heart.

Roaring wind violently gusted through every pore of my skin,
intended to knock me down.
Amidst the stygian dimness,
I caught a glimpse of penumbra.
"Where does this wavering gleam comes from?"
As a glimmer of hope lingered from the moon's soft glow.

For my fortitude was uncovered in the same place where my heart was wounded;
creating a force that embodies resilience and fragility.

It is unfortunate I could not keep the blanket from embracing me without allowing it to engulf me.

He said she was his missing pieces
'where are missing pieces of me' he then asked

'stop searching for me the you'll realize
there's nothing actually missing' she said

He sat silently ,swallowing unsure truth that hit right in his mind

He voiced out 'but I can't live without you '

she replied 'if you can't live without me then you'd die a long time ago'

He breathed a sigh .
for any broken hearts ,time heals

I sat on the couch
exposed to the bright golden bar
wind grasp my skin all over
shivering like snowflakes on a new chrismas morning
as I felt my nerve gesture trembling
forcing the brain to spill out thoughts
I'll be jotting down on paper

Humming birds produced perfect harmonies
setting traped part of me free
connecting my old self
creating new vision of me
wonder what crossed that beautiful mind
how the air influenced the change

Air never runs out
change yourself
while you still have time .

Tracing things
I failed to put into words
all this time
camouflage wrapped up my actions
shattering my pity mind
hidden feelings behind pupils full of lies  
meant to remain untold

My innerself burst
turning igniting fire into flames
numbing the pain that caused by thee
scars that are left

I need a blanket of camouflage .
