Haiku for the Disappointed
Death by Decoy Mar 2016
One crossed the oceans
Yet nothing met him on end
A letdown indeed

To The Lotus That Gave Up
Death by Decoy Apr 2016
It's not yet night for her to sink
But she closed herself and sank
Like eyes that are too tired to blink
And gazing upon the muddy river bank,
Suddenly, there were ripples in the water
As she sinks down into the river bed
But there was not a single call from her
As if she let herself be led
By water currents she knew so well

Have you forgotten how to float?
Or are there no souls around to tell,
About silent screams with a sore throat?
Did your roots pull from the mud?
And the current strong enough to break it?
It's a tragedy of the tiny pink bud,
who once sat on the murky water of two feet,
Being swallowed whole into the water
and not once experiencing a genuine woo

Oh, lovely water flower,

....Did you regret it too?
This is for a dear person of mine who took away her own life. Please don't give up and think about killing yourself. The pain won't go away after you **** yourself, it will be passed on to the people who love you.

A Lonesome Gentleman
Death by Decoy Apr 2016
Oh dear sir, you are many things
But wholesome is not one of them

You are very incomplete and fragmented
But such parts are unseen by most eyes
And though you are unconsciously longing
For someone to fill such hollow holes,
You are sidetracked by societal expectations
That you'd resort to the boring entertainment
Of busy days and bland tasting wine

Oh dear sir, you are many things
And lonesome is one of them
Inspired by a story taking place in the Victorian Era.

Wind Chimes (Haiku)
Death by Decoy Apr 2016
Gentle winds had blown
A wind chime tinkling a song
For ears that can hear
I once had a wind chime given to me by my grandma. I loved it so much.

I Know You'll Survive
Death by Decoy May 2016
I can't tell directly
What's not meant to be
I can't ask you to feel
Something you learned to conceal
One can only speak in metaphors
About their dented, key less doors

When life puts you in a challenging test
I can only provide you a life vest
As the storm hits you with sheer force,
Don't give up, recall your hope's source

Please endure for a little more
And wait for when you can swim back ashore
To those who feel like their life is in constant battle with an endless storm, I'm sure you'll win the fight if you endure and stay strong.
Death by Decoy Mar 2016
let's not keep the grudge
on the back of our foes
with words and actions
that could cut like a knife
that has no handle
Experience has taught me that grudges are like cutting knives with no handle.

Let's find places
Death by Decoy Mar 2016
Let's find places
Where the fireflies would fill a whole field at night
Then we'd eat pancakes and churros at 12 midnight
Where we can spend our birthdays at a parking lot
Then we'd never pay for the reserved slot
Where we'd drink champagne while chilling in inflated pools
And Halloween and Christmas can be our April Fools
Where we can scream about our broken hearts
Then an afterwards talk about scientific private parts
Where we'd be heard at dawn laughing and singing
Where we can just be ourselves without anyone judging

My Family Isn't Broken
Death by Decoy Jul 2016
A busy, coffee-smelling Sunday morning
With noisy banters while cooking and dining
Natural gatherings with our parents
A time to fix the little cracks and bents

But alas, my father is under the soil
While mother uses her time to toil
And I am left in my own devices
Do try to imagine how everyday is

And oh, please try to remember albeit
I am not a sad child at all, at least not yet
For I always reason, not in deceit,
That my family isn't broken, just incomplete

A poem for the ones hurt
Death by Decoy Mar 2016
A poem for the ones hurt
Though euphonic it may sound
You'll feel sad and inert
A feeling not so newfound
Where the words weigh you down
With the greatest intensity
Like it means to make you drown
In the bittersweet misery
Gotta work on dat rhyming

Paradoxical Dichotomy
Death by Decoy Mar 2016
You are sly
You are shy
How can you be so
A mystery you are

You are wholesome
But just as lonesome
In which makes up
Someone like you

You are terrible
Yet you're terrific
You're stuck
Yet free
Cloudy
Yet clear
Rigid
Yet fluid
And then
it makes all sense

You are two sides
That collide together
You're a dichotomy
A paradox
That seems
As though
You're not

Thy Eyes
Death by Decoy Mar 2016
Thy eyes define the beauty of the stars
That reveals the secrets etched unto thee
It can hold thy deepest fears and scars
One look at thou and all as wise shall see

Human Nature
Death by Decoy Jul 2017
Natural selection
Survival of the fittest
What morals and ethics
Did our ancestors test?
How did evolution
Make us one of the best?
Psychological development,
Nature and nurture;
They knew what it meant:
We'll evolve further into the future.
But be warned of downfalls on occasion:
A reckless reaction
A spark of destruction
Might eventually be triggered
When human nature
Is more sure of its environment
than it is with itself.

Be warned. This is how world wars began.

When Your Heart is Breaking
Death by Decoy Mar 2016
You stood there
Your head lowered
Your hands forming fists
Your feet trembling
Your heart
Shaking
Crumbling
Rupturing
And you just stood there
Because
There's really nothing you can do
When your heart is breaking

Adamantine
Death by Decoy Mar 2016
They say that one is vulnerable
when they are in love

Yet why do I feel like
I'm indestructible
while I'm loving you?

Gulf
Death by Decoy Jul 2017
So I;

I move in the same pace as the river.
I flow along with it as I keep a shiver;
Ignoring all the rocks that come my way,
so never will I be in one place to stay.

Yet you;

You struggle against the fast moving water.
You flow against it with a sturdy little quiver;
Using the rocks as so to keep you at bay,
then breathe a sigh of contentment and stay.

His Best Talent
Death by Decoy Mar 2016
His eyes shall strike yours
With the utmost greatest force
You'll have ever to experience
He'll notice, and you'll tense
But he will never even bother
As he shall always strike another
And every time, he loses his interest
Because that's what he does best
Inspired by this beautiful arrogant punk with the most astonishing pair of eyes I've ever seen.

Freedom < You
Death by Decoy Mar 2016
Being free is what all people want
They want to experience things
That have no setbacks and limitations
But right now, I'm facing you
With my back turned against freedom
Because
I'd rather be stuck in place with you
Than be free with someone else
Couldn't think of a better title

Feelproof
Death by Decoy Jul 2017
Unsure of control,
Her feelings soon burst
And she had kept it in;
Similar to that of water
Spilling inside
A bag
That is waterproof
She does find it uncomfortable

Keep Your Heart
Death by Decoy Mar 2016
Don't give me your heart
It's better off
Not being my property
Because I might just
Become greedy
And never give you mine
I'm greedy af tbh

Helpless Death
Death by Decoy May 2016
He's all skin and bones
And he laid helplessly in bed
With restless sunken eyes
As the lump in his throat grew
And constricted his every breath
That in the next morning,
It took away his life
And the worst thing about it all
Was that a miracle didn't happen
No matter how much we hoped for it

Time
Death by Decoy Mar 2016
Tick Tock
The clock
Goes
It's that sinking feeling
That time will still pass by
While we're deeply sleeping
Or even after we die
Tick Tock
The clock
Shall go
Time is really scary sometimes

R a i n
Death by Decoy Mar 2016
The ceaseless hearing
of the pitter pattering
That pulls you in deep
Whenever the grey clouds weep

You close your eyes
As the atmosphere cries
in which resounds from the ceiling
Leaving that tranquil trace of a feeling
I'm a guilty pluviophile

Joseph John
Death by Decoy Apr 2016
Dear Joseph John,
I secretly loved you
With all of it clear and true
As the first made me cry
The second made me smile
And the first was my reality
While the second became my escape
And as I keep having to strive
For the second that kept me alive
I had begged to disagree
That the first is the death of me

You need not tell me
How deeply you loved her
It was so obvious
That I would know
Even from afar
