I handed you in pieces,
all my beauty and my truth.
You promised you would hold them
with love the whole way through.

๐˜ ๐˜ฏ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฅ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฅ,
to believe
that it was ๐˜๐—ฟ๐˜‚๐—ฒ.

๐˜ˆ๐˜ฏ๐˜ฅ ๐˜ฅ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฑ๐˜ญ๐˜บ,
I believed
that it was ๐˜†๐—ผ๐˜‚.

But for some reason, this feeling
makes me commit treason.
I cause my own bleeding
and my boundaries weaken.

This lighting's deceiving
and I'm seeking to find,
the line intervening
between you and I.
But it's gone to the night.
You're all that I want.
You're all that's in sight.

I don't want to escape ๐˜บ๐˜ฐ๐˜ถ,
or this ๐˜ธ๐˜ข๐˜ญ๐˜ญ on my ๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐—ด๐—ต๐˜.

So, when you asked me...
"๐˜ž๐˜ฉ๐˜ช๐˜ค๐˜ฉ ๐˜ด๐˜ช๐˜ฅ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ฐ๐˜ง ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ฃ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฅ ๐˜ต๐˜ฐ๐˜ฏ๐˜ช๐˜จ๐˜ฉ๐˜ต?"

๐—œ ๐—ด๐—ฎ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ ๐˜†๐—ผ๐˜‚ ๐—บ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ฒ.

Blinded by
this lustful yearn. I'd,
never seen eyes that
didn't fear me first. I'd,
never met a mouth
so pretty as yours.

Craving the flavour,
the taste of my curves.
Seeking to savour
the twists and the turns,
of ๐˜ฎ๐˜บ body, ๐˜ฎ๐˜บ kiss,
and ๐˜ฎ๐˜บ tongue.

My ๐˜€๐—ธ๐—ถ๐—ป and my ๐—ฏ๐—ผ๐—ป๐—ฒ๐˜€
to you I'd serve.

All I can do is
๐™จ๐™ช๐™˜๐™˜๐™ช๐™ข๐™—.

I forgot just where
my mind went. I'd,
misplaced and lost
the sentiment, that
centres me
in these,
elements. The,
intensity
is relevant
to the detriment
of my disconnect
to the self I sense.

๐˜›๐˜ฉ๐˜ช๐˜ด I know is true.

When you asked for me,
I gave you ๐˜ฎ๐˜ฐ๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ than you could ๐˜ค๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ๐˜ธ.

And I wanted you to swallow it, ๐™ฉ๐™ค๐™ค.

But the problem is...
All this complicated
**** you say
I regurgitated,
is a result of how
intoxicated
I am from always
accomodating
a level of love
approximated. I,
never know if I'm
dominated, or
if this loves
consolidated, and

all I did,
was ๐˜๐—ผ๐—น๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ฒ this...

Slowly losing you. ๐˜›๐˜ฉ๐˜ช๐˜ด...
Never finding truth...
Never knowing what you do.

Giving me a piece,
and then taking back two.

Pushing and pulling
in and out of my view.
Raining down sentiments
that keep me confused.

I can't find my way
in the dark of the moon.
Can't locate your love
in this light, misconstrued.

As I pick up the pieces
you dont care to lose,
I start to ๐—พ๐˜‚๐—ฒ๐˜€๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป if ๐—œ
can ๐˜ช๐˜ฅ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ๐˜ต๐˜ช๐˜ง๐˜บ ๐™ฉ๐™ง๐™ช๐™ฉ๐™...

And thats when I lost me.
๐™„ ๐™›๐™ช๐™ก๐™ก๐™ฎ ๐™ฌ๐™ž๐™ฉ๐™๐™™๐™ง๐™š๐™ฌ.

Tumbling backwards
to a past I once knew,
of cyclical madness
and embedded abuse.

In madness and lament,
I'm fully consumed.
My ๐˜ฑ๐˜ข๐˜ด๐˜ต meets the ๐˜ฑ๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ๐˜ด๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ๐˜ต,
and I act like a ๐—ณ๐—ผ๐—ผ๐—น.

On this trail I'm left lost in...
When you leave - it turns to ๐—ฑ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ธ๐—ป๐—ฒ๐˜€๐˜€.

...

I wish you hadn't held my hand,
telling me about your youth.
Carving our names in the sand,
only not to pursue.

I wish you wouldn't say name,
when you look at the moon.
Whispering melodies
in a deviant tune.

For I am ๐˜ฆ๐˜ข๐˜ด๐˜ช๐˜ญ๐˜บ ๐˜ด๐˜ธ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฏ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฅ
by the dance of your mouth,
as it makes your words move
in the night, all throughout.

But I can't be confused
by the beautiful sounds
of a ๐˜ด๐˜ฐ๐˜ฏ๐˜จ ๐˜ด๐˜ถ๐˜ฏ๐˜จ ๐˜ถ๐˜ฏ๐˜ต๐˜ณ๐˜ถ๐˜ฆ...
Of a song, ๐—น๐—ผ๐˜€๐˜ and ๐—ณ๐—ผ๐˜‚๐—ป๐—ฑ.

So this, I return.
For my heart, I must choose:
to ๐—ฏ๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐˜ or to ๐—ฏ๐˜‚๐—ฟ๐—ป,
or to let myselfย ย ๐—ฏ ๐—น ๐—ผ ๐—ผ ๐—บ .

silence that fills
an empty room
no people left,
just memories.
their fights, their screams
and that first kiss.

they both poured from their empty cups
they broke the cup
and gave the glass

and piece by piece,
and stitch by stitch,
their love has morphed
into deep pain
just open wounds
that bleed in vain

it was too hard,
for them to see
the masochists
they came to be.
would you like a piece of me? thatโ€™s all I have left

i failed,
please don't hate me.

tears fall,
nose aches,
throat burns.

hands tremble,
heart clenched,
lost in this ache.

my love can't defy you,
my weakness.

before the mirror,
"I'll make them proud,"
murmurs to my heart.

i failed,
please don't hate me.
the feeling when you fail your loved onesโ€” for me, my parents, and for you, othersโ€” when you see the stars in their eyes and realize that you've stolen their shine.

Live simply
leave quietly

feel deeply
accept humbly

hold gently
release freely

cease striving
embrace the emptying

It doesn't matter
    where you set your sight
     as long as it is right
A peep at the clouds
A dance with the moon
A view of the skies
A berth in the sun
A flash of the blues
A soak in the rain
A wave of the breeze
A cheer(s) with the lips
A life flow of the spirit
A health to our souls
โ€ฆโ€ฆโ€ฆโ€ฆโ€ฆโ€ฆโ€ฆโ€ฆโ€ฆ.
โ€ฆโ€ฆโ€ฆโ€ฆโ€ฆโ€ฆโ€ฆโ€ฆโ€ฆ.
โ€ฆโ€ฆโ€ฆโ€ฆโ€ฆโ€ฆโ€ฆโ€ฆโ€ฆ.
Of these celestial harmony
Oh! Terrestrialsโ€ฆโ€ฆโ€ฆ..
Dance, glo, wave & cheer up
In this ballet of time
The rhythm of the hearth;
ย ย ย ย Our soulโ€™s joy
The mindscape at peace
A display on our faces.
Each
Day
I
Pray
To slay
My depression.
Never been a quitter,
But Iโ€™d like to quit this obsession.
This obsession with my sadness.
And with my social status.
Itโ€™s like I fetishize the madness
Endlessly raging
Inside of my soul.
And I swear I donโ€™t have
A place to just go
And lay low
For a while.

A place where I donโ€™t
Have
To
Fake
A
Smile.

Living is dying
That's why it's so painful
Loving and hurting
They say to be grateful
Remembering to be forgiving
I'm so very forgetful
Beginning and continuing
Both have been my downfall

I met myself last night after a long time
I buried my face in my blanket
as tears fell off crushing my heart.
I didn't know what to tell
or just be there for myself.

I kept quiet in tender stillness at night
I went across my heart & mind
and asked them how they are?
I know you all are exhausted
but still be with me.
I know its hard, but still
don't leave me apart.

I had a long conversation with each territory within me
longing through all the episodes of my life with me.
I know you all never make a fuss over my each day's agony.
I know its been 12 years long
to keep me alive
and trust me I am trying hard to keep you all up too.

I know you all need to repose
and make your way towards a little more pleasures in life.
Trust me I will yield all of that for you all
As I have only you all within me
so I will caress you all
caving in with love with all of me
mended in smiling pieces of you all with me.
I was with me last night for hours long and things have settled
