Favourite Dress
Dianali Dec 2021
I took care of it,
I wore it, - but just -on special occasions
No matter how little,
I cleaned every stain of it
I packed it so carefully
That I forgot I even had it.
Then the flood came,
And the mould grew,
I found it in my suitcase
Completely ruined.
And then I remembered
Why it was so special
I wore it the first night
I ever met you

Band-aid
Dianali Dec 2021
I remember
every one of your lovely whispers
when you thought I was dreaming
My mind, my hair, my nose
I was perfect, every bit. To you.

You, protecting me at all costs
I couldn’t bare such tender
I radiated all the love you gave me
Sad it was never permanent
I wasn’t dreaming, real life was better

Writer

“So you are into words” he said
“That doesn’t make you interesting, I’ll cut the chase”
I think of that for every poem I write
For every lyric of every song that gets to my heart

Immunity
Dianali Nov 2021
All the poison micro-dosed
In the form of your affection,
Thoughts of your laughter
Circulating in my veins
Relieved now I can gladly state
All of it, has finally left
My spirit and flesh

Rom- Com
Dianali Nov 2021
I was so profoundly moved by the words
you managed to produce
In that beautifully-crafted mind of yours
They may as well been scripted
To just my personal delight

If I were to follow the plot line
Will the ending be happy ? Will it be sad?
The only thing I can predict by now:
My heart at your reach,
My soul in your hands

Loser
Dianali Nov 2021
I guess I’m not a ‘good sport’
Yours is the only game I’ve truly lost
Yes, I didn’t take it well,
My personal, favourite hell
The rage, the pain, all still there
I wish I could say
“I wish you farewell”

26
Dianali Nov 2021
26
Isn’t this the age
When we have
A lot of plants,
A bunch of plans
Little money
and even less time?
Roaring 20s, aren’t they?

Pain
Dianali Nov 2021
I’m trying so hard to keep it inside
It’s in the surface of my heart
I can’t scratch it
It’s spreading
And then it overflows
It’s overwhelming
It slides down my face
Salty watery trace
I’ll be okay
Just not today
Oct 2021 · 458
Timing
Dianali Oct 2021
You were lucky enough
To be in my sight
When the stars alligned
When my heart was warm

Almost
Dianali Oct 2021
You found your way into my mind.
Now I randomly text you
at 2 am.
And you are okay with that,
slowly melting my stance.
You’re dangerously getting closer
To my heart.

Daydream
Dianali Oct 2021
The scenario in my mind is set,
I’m just too afraid
To say
“action”

“But the hurt is years-  and tears away”
Just remember:
Wounds in the soul are deeper than they appear.

Irrelevant
Dianali Sep 2021
Why would I care for your situation?
My oppressor, my tormentor
Make no mistake,
If I’m ever curious about your sake,
I’ll be at the verge of losing all
My so-called “common sense”

Recovery
Dianali Sep 2021
I took all the love I gave to you
And used it for myself

Free
Dianali Sep 2021
Your name on my screen.
I forgot how it feels,
I lost my voice
I almost couldn’t breathe
But It wasn’t the same pain
It was some sort of relief
As I open up your message
and press the word “delete”

Trapped
Dianali Sep 2021
My mind is full with conversations,
Yet it’s all so quiet

Secret
Dianali Sep 2021
The room is quiet,
No one is near,
Your sneaky hand
Makes its way to me;
my flesh, my soul
Shivering
To the expert dance
of your  fingertips

Edit
Dianali Sep 2021
You were never that good,

I put some filter for your soul,

I made you up inside my mind.

Ready
Dianali Aug 2021
I got the frames,
not the pictures.
Got a whole life, just waiting
For its beginning.

Empty
Dianali Aug 2021
Well, she had given her soul away before,
Of course she was soulless.

Killing time
Dianali Aug 2021
Can I spend the whole day daydreaming?
Do I have enough time?

Parallels
Dianali Aug 2021
Micro universes:
You, there
Me, here
Worlds, we’ll never get to see.
Words, we’ll never get to hear.

Sketch
Dianali Aug 2021
He was just a draft,
Yes, a really good one,
But still, a draft.
What can I say?
I want the real thing,
I wasn’t settling for that.

Flawed
Dianali Aug 2021
I wanted to love you so bad
I was so inspired!
It was better in my mind, I guess
I messed up.

Consequences
Dianali Aug 2021
After you used my body
My soul was tired
After you put a light in my eye
There was a fire

Somewhere
Dianali Aug 2021
You can’t break me,
there’s always a dream
I’m chasing

I’m done playing this game
Against myself
It’s about time I meet
A worthy rival

Dianali Aug 2021
All that love flowing through my veins
got me sick to my stomach
I’m disgusted by how much
I loved you.

Riflessi
Dianali Jul 2021
Seduta su questa scala
Guardando il mare
Mi ricorda il momento
In cui ** trovato
il percorso corretto
Di andare
Mille notti di piacere
effimero
sono stati per te
il mio tempo prezioso
perso in te
Effimero
Come sei
e come per me
È adesso, gia
Il amore che avevo
tanti anni fa

Numb
Dianali Jul 2021
This numbness of the heart
Has been here for a long time
Couldn’t realise that ignoring it
would contribute to made it last.

Check, mate
Dianali Jul 2021
You thought  I was playing victim, but for me, it was never a game
Jul 2021 · 277
Disposable
Dianali Jul 2021
Thorns disguised in your arms
Where I let my trust slowly unwind
A trap, a maze
Pure evil in your gaze

I was disposable
But how could I tell?
Intertwined, passing the days
You were patient, you set the pace
And when you had to,
didn’t hesitate,
dug my grave.

End of the tunnel
Dianali Jul 2021
Walking blindly into the path of happiness,
it’s been a long time since I’ve followed it,
This time I’m not watching my steps.

Why do I see love everywhere I go?
Why do I seek love everywhere I go?

Safe space
Dianali Jun 2021
It was chaotic, the beating of my heart
At the bare, minimum, touch of your hand
I was at ease, and under attack
Resting my thoughts on your lap

Night terrors
Dianali Jun 2021
Sometimes I suddenly wake
Scared, anxious, nervous
Flooded with memories
Of a familiar stranger
And the scariest part
is this image, of myself,
so vulnerable, so happy

next to him.

Art

Art
You  added colour to my mess
and me like a painting
you weren’t quite happy with
The egotistical artist in you
thought could paint over

I was ruined forever
Is not a masterpiece, I know
Jun 2021 · 396
Invasive
Dianali Jun 2021
Wild and twisted
The roots of your caring
Managed to stay in my heart.
I tried to **** them,
But they grew back
Jun 2021 · 975
Unreachable
Dianali Jun 2021
I want nothing to do with you
I am comfortable in the memories
safe, knowing I made it through
aware of the outcome
Dealing with the consequences
Of the bittersweet experience,
The terrible rollercoaster
Of your intermittent affection
May 2021 · 459
Unconditional
Dianali May 2021
It sickens me
How it occupied a part of my reason
The way I detailed a map of your heart
In exchange of
A sugarcoated rusty knife in my back
