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

Pov

Pov
An acquaintance
or
a parallel universe?

Waltz
Dianali Mar 2021
I’ll imagine
I’m sending you a song
That I know
You’d love.
And in my head
we are dancing
to the rhythm
Of our once treasured
Now forgotten, bitter,
Love.
My favourite playlist, your soul

Earworm
Dianali May 2021
You are like a song
              forever
                        Stuck in my head

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

Heart-Locksmith
Dianali Feb 2022
Holder of all keys
Of every soul you meet
you bear in your talk,
the most sweet, agile dance
Glance-stealer,
Maker of tears,
Locksmith of hearts
You never knock on doors
Because they know..As I now
they shouldn’t let you in,
But show you the way out
It felt forced
306 · Dec 2021
Happy-less
Dianali Dec 2021
You have never suffered of matters of the heart,      nor you ever will,  
your pain lays in your mind,    
in your non-existent calm

Writer
Dianali Dec 2021
“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
302 · Mar 2021
Anniversary
Dianali Mar 2021
A formidable adversary
An even better rattle
In the anniversary of our last
soul-drowning battle

Long gone, every day further
My dearest enemy
no one got the glory
I’d surrender, but war is over.
You win, I don’t care anymore

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

amoroso errante
Dianali Feb 2022
De habitación en habitación va,
Inestable, ambiguo, vacío.
Sin alma, sin sed,
sin errar, sin perder
¿Qué queda en su insaciable piel?
No lo sé
Poco menos de un hombre,
Tal vez
281 · Mar 2021
Daydream
Dianali Mar 2021
I wonder
Was it a spell I was under?
I am awake,
And the world seems duller
It was better in my mind

Happy thought
Dianali Mar 2021
And you filled my life
with plants,
poems,
moans,
Unrealistic songs,
and happy riddles
then I realised
I was in the middle
of knowing
        you
            were
              home.
Caught myself smiling at your glance

Cósmica
Dianali Feb 2022
La galaxia de la que fue parte, colapsó
Con fuerza de mil soles,
cual supernova
Resurgió
Donde el viento sople, ella ira
Creando micro universos,
Al saludar

Comfortable
Dianali Apr 2021
I made a nest in my wounds
Please don’t cure me,
I don’t want to be cured.

Stuck
Dianali Feb 2022
I linger..
I’d love to remain
in the happiest minute of life,
yet I know..
Being afraid won’t take you far
267 · Aug 2021
Parallels
Dianali Aug 2021
Micro universes:
You, there
Me, here
Worlds, we’ll never get to see
Words, we’ll never get to hear.
263 · Jul 2021
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.
262 · Apr 2021
Seaside
Dianali Apr 2021
Oh you come to my mind
In waves
And I want to drown
But my instinct makes me swim
Makes me survive
And when I reach the shore
I am safe
And grateful.

Time Machine
Dianali Aug 22
I’ve got a Time Machine.
But I have to warn you,
It’s a painful ride,
going to the past.

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

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”
249 · Jul 2021
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.

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
242 · May 2021
Convalescent
Dianali May 2021
I remember the last time I walked to your house,
in my headphones, a song by the cure
‘The cure’.. A bit ironic, I thought
Cause I was so sick
So, so, sick,
of loving
you.

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?

Risas empolvadas
Dianali Jan 2022
Que inmensas son
aquellas melancolías
Llenas de quizás— reales, tal vez,
Solo en alguna otra realidad.
Un sinnúmero de fotos
En una cámara sin revelar

Mistreatment
Dianali Feb 2021
I got used to be non-worthy
All of those years
Love given to me so poorly

Check, mate

You thought  I was playing victim, but for me, it was never a game

Diagnose
Dianali Nov 4
The symptoms included:
Chest tightness, nauseas
Laboured breathing, heavy heart.
They say it’s a natural reaction
—I must be allergic—

To

     Bitter memories and regrets.
Treatment is letting go

Déjà vu
Dianali Mar 2021
You don’t exist in this universe
I’m living in,
the happiest version I’ve ever been
But then again,
Something is always missing.
a feeling that never fades

Awake
Dianali Nov 3
I am aware
Ignorance is bliss.

Yet,

I am aware.

I am too awake.

I am fully conscious!

This shall be the death
Of all my progress

I am aware!
Can you numb me again?

My mind is poisonous

I am aware

I am my own

                    worst enemy.
Introspection, too much

Just remember:
Wounds in the soul are deeper than they appear.

Ghostly
Dianali Mar 2021
You are a ghost
But, oh, how I fancy you to scare me
Trapped in the past,
No other words casts.
If I have to be haunted,
Let it be you,
Let it be now.

Edge of a memory
Dianali Mar 2021
You are just a stranger
In a familiar body
I’m still holding onto.
I knew you

Madness
Dianali Oct 22
There’s potential
hidden in plain sight
Can’t you see it igniting?
—soul’s fire? The spark?
A brief glance
of my future plans..
Cozy and picturesque
I reckon they seem
  so lovely..
—In your eyes.
Surrender, will you?
It’s for the better
Tension is tempting
But resisting.. is crazy!

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

Casual
Dianali Oct 21
Evening air and dry text replies
It is a cold winter day
in the midst of July.

Clear and loud silence
surrounding her steps.
The sudden reflex to deflect.

A random call. A sudden ‘yes’.
Opening door, a familiar face.
Same old, same old.. exhausting exchange.

Dancing hands, usual soulless gaze.
Curious hands, hypnotising embrace.
Rushing hands, the usual regret.

Lust overdoses, her soul feels sore
Another heart rash. Regret. Repeat. Regret.
emotional hangover,   unread morning-after text.

Life lately

Killing time

Can I spend the whole day daydreaming?
Do I have enough time?

Break up
Dianali Oct 12
As if tearing a limb from a body,
Souls once entwined, sinew and bone,
Wrenched apart—
Only left behind,
The phantom pain,
The hollow ache,
Of what they were,
Of what once was.
