why

i loved you
          i maybe even still do
some piece of me waiting
hoping it was all a bad dream
hoping that you’ll still text me goodnight
but why?
why am i still holding onto something
          that was so bad for my soul?
you were cruel (but hugged me gently)
you were abusive (but kissed me softly)
you were manipulative (but whispered “i love you”)
why were you so intoxicating?
how did i become so addicted
          to the kindness of your touch?
where did the kindness go?
i loved you
i love you
i still love you
i just want to know why?

i did, i still do, and i will always do leave a space for you
whether a space inside a café, in the canteen seats, inside the cinema, in one of the bleachers, in a crowded room, or in one of the benches of the park we used to go
i will always leave a space for you
especially a space inside my heart, it would always remain for you
the scars roughly vanished yet you managed to still walk through
everyone has tried to steal the empty space but never did they know
that it was only meant for you
i reserve this space, I do
I wait for you
Even if I'm seeing you with someone new
I will still let this space untouched by anyone unless it would be you

:> halo im back

you were my ocean & i was your puddle //

love of mine, forgive me.
i wanted you all for myself,
and i kept you when you weren’t mine to keep.

here we are.
i look at you with hope, while you’ve stopped looking at me.
so just take me whole.
drown me.
rid yourself of me.

be free. be happy. be yours.

you were never mine to begin with,
i was simply a foolish soul trying to conquer the ocean.

d.f.

hi, i'm back! from what? one of my many mental explosions. depression season 9 is beginning! grab your popcorn!!

Drawing You

Someone asked me to draw
Draw what heartbreak looks like
I finally got tired of drawing a broken heart
And I started drawing you

Don’t Cut My Vessel

Look at me.
I am crying.

My pain, it burns.
But that’s okay,

I’ll love you anyway.
I’ll let you hurt my heart.
I’ll let you steal my soul.
I’ll let you burn my brain.
I’ll give you everything

As long as you promise me this:
Don’t cut my vessel.

I wrote this for someone i choose not to speak of thy name...
I do not remember the exact date.

unrequited

i imagined telling you how i feel
be it the calmest possible way
or the most unimaginable one
*still, neither of it made you love me back

regret

regret.
i regret letting you in.

love will always start with illusion.
and i fell in love with
the mirage you displayed.
i told myself that
the person i fell in love with
was still there.
that is why i stuck around

for so long.

for so long i believed that you still loved me
as much as the sun loved the sky.
even when you said you didn’t,
even when your voice didn’t feel like

home.

home was late night conversations.
home was your laugh ringing in my ears.
but what was once the house we loved in,
it is now dominated by ghosts.

it has been 8 months.
i still

regret.
i regret letting you in.

i s a b e l l a

i miss you

three lonely words
bouncing in the walls
of my mind
back and forth
back and forth
i whisper them to myself
so much
i almost convince myself
you can hear them
but when i wake up
you're not in my bed
and there's no messages on my phone
so i continue with my day
my heart sinking lower and lower
and the three lonely words
turn into an echo

i told you i miss you and you have yet to respond

The Book I Never Wrote

I wanted to write a book
about Us
but how could I
when
Our ending
is only in
Chapter One?

A very short love story

Bruised self

I don't  understand  why....
I keep waiting  for you,
I keep staring for a call,
On the usual sidewalk,
At least your glimpse,
It keeps bruising me,
But I can't refrain,
I can't!
I hope for some small talk,
I hope for honesty,
I hope and hope and still hope
And keep  hoping till I bleed,
I still don't get it....

Soft Words Written From a Bath

Bubbles in a bath,
loud moaning blaring in the back
as I look down at the
bruising on my
muted
skin.

I try to imagine
myself with your
glowing frame
submerged underneath
the water.

Without you, I've
been a bit dramatic.

A bit manic.

Wandering and wonderin';
yeah, I've let my mind
slip at night.

In the hours of now until
then, I try to
refrain.

I indulge myself
into routine.

I watch lovers on the
screen.

Envisioning myself with
women in the late
hours but mimicking
your strokes in the
morning.

Without you,
without you.

I'm free to be me.

With you, I'm
happy.

Molten coffee scorches my
untouched tongue,
reminding me that
I can still feel
warmth.

Damp moss grazes my
untasted body,
reminding me that
I can still
dream.
