Dream
Chinny Aug 2019
I could no longer
See you in reality
But I could see you
In my dreams
I had another one last night
It seemed so real
But I knew it wasn’t
You promised me it was real
Like a fool, I believed you
I found out you lied
When I opened my eyes
Why do dreams feel like reality sometimes

Let’s be strangers
Chinny Apr 2020
Let’s be strangers not friends
That way we don’t have to be intimate
That way we won’t worry about betrayal
That way we won’t have expectations
And won’t face disappointment
There’ll be no commitments
And no reason to be loyal
If we become friends we’ll get hurt
Imagine if we go further
So let’s be strangers, no intros necessary
Just wanted to write in reverse

18 again
Chinny Jun 2021
In my head I’m still 18
I feel young and immature
But I’m also reminded daily
That is not the case
Where did the time go?
How did I get 5 years older?
The world keeps moving forward
But I want to stay in place
Just a little longer

Fragments
Chinny Aug 2019
She was living strong
On the outside
But she was broken
On the inside
He was trying to heal her
From the outside
That way she would change
From the inside
Her soul was broken into fragments
On the inside
It began to reflect
On the outside
Trying to heal her broke him
On the inside
Now he’s trying to be happy
On the outside
They will gather the fragments
Of their souls
Put them back together
And become whole again

Escape
Chinny Jul 2020
Take me somewhere
Anywhere
I’m sure it’s better
Than this dump
Called my mind

I want to be free
from thoughts
That keep me up at night
From daily responsibilities
That occupy me

Sometimes I wish
I wasn’t selfless
Considerate and obedient
Maybe then I could
“Let loose” and fulfil
My heart’s desires

Where did I ever do wrong
Chinny Aug 2019
I’m thinking back to the past
I’m retracing my steps
Figuring out what happened last
How everything went downhill

Was it something I said or didn’t say
Was it something I did or didn’t do
Was it something I should have noticed
But was blind to

Things took a tragic turn
We were driving straight
But made an unplanned turn
There’s no way to get back on track

Still trying to figure out why we made that turn
Where did I ever go wrong
I’ve been in the darkness
Just trying to see the light

What should I have said
What should I have done
Where should I have gone
Where did I ever go wrong

Untitled
Chinny Feb 2020
I gave you power over me
You never knew you possessed
An unintentional gift I would say
You controlled my emotions
But you had no idea
I’m taking back that power
To get back in control
I can’t call it a gift
If you didn’t receive it

Broken
Chinny Aug 2019
The chair I sat in, broken
The glass I drank from, broken
The light bulb in my room, broken
The window I look through, broken
The mirror with my reflection, broken
The wall I had up, broken
Now my heart, in pieces
Because of promises you couldn’t keep
I wanted to keep having faith
But I should have known when to stop
Now my heart is broken
Just like the promises you made

Letter to an Old Friend
Chinny Sep 2019
The you of then
And the me of then
Had a good time
The you of now
And the me of now
Were separated by time

Still, the me of now
Wants to know
The you of now
Hoping you’re still
The you of then

I expect the you of now
Is not the same as
The you of then
But I hope the you of now
Is a better version of
The you of then

— The End —
