Overwhelming emotions buried deep within
With just one tap, it gets shaken, resurfacing once more
Confidence I've built, yet to grow
Crumbles down
Like sandcastles drowned by the tide's flow.

As the mermaid turned to bubbles,
For feelings she couldn't contain,
I too shall turn to ashes,
Consumed by overwhelming pain.

How draining it is
for this place to be my haven,
yet also the very place
I long to escape.

Every time you were together
Whenever your hands touch hers
I am filled with this emotion
Was it jealousy?
Because it wasn't me who you are with
Or was it envy?
Because you have someone to lean on other than me.

I am a moth
You are a flame,

Drawn to you
Captivated by everything you do,

Despite the risks of getting burned
I still keep on closing in,

To feel the warmth
of your embrace.

He was once again
abandoned
by the people who only gave him pain
leaving scars that'll forever remain.

Some nights
the little girl would cry
covering her ears
cowering in fear
wishing that her nightmares would disappear.
