When I can no more
depend on my moon
to shine heart and heaven

Pen and poetry sleeping
beside me, not even a
wee word further coming

Red roses growing grey
with days, my eyes shut
for the last time

When my heart beats
seeming slow with time,
the last leaf falling from the tree

When the final bell rings for me
can I call you?

You are an illusion
and you left me with confusion

sea of red

2 weeks without these thoughts
i really thought i was getting better

but alas, it's just the calm weather
before the storm

blood on the paper
lines on my skin

drown me in this sea of red
let it drown my thoughts
let me feel the pain
to make sure that i am alive

gross sobbing
through the night

it won't disturb
your peaceful sleep

oh heavens, i hope to feel
this peaceful feeling
only the dead knows

drown me in this sea of red
let it balance the pain of my heart

drown me
suffocate me

my heart cannot take it anymore

a bullet would've hurt
a bit less than this loneliness

Follow into the night,
the lamplight of yonder and yore
see in it
hope of what will be.

To the lamplight,
the night is a monster

Is the hero afraid?

do not wonder why
she won't let you in
she's broken
can't you see?

at the end of the day
after everyone walks away
it is her alone who picks up the pieces

and those pieces gets stepped on,
stuck on a person's soles who will
never even bother to give it back

so everyday she lose herself
slowly
person by person
word per word
goodbyes after goodbyes

so i'm sorry
she says
because she is not the person
you loved a month ago

no, she's different
lost all her pieces
stuck on a person's sole

no, you cannot go in
because the house is broken now
you cannot make a home to her
she will never give you warm

and you ask yourself
why am i even here?
then you get up and take your leave

your warmth will be there,
but you are not
you took a piece of her
what a fool she has become

oh foolish, foolish little girl!
you have nothing to give
but still offered a home

and where's that piece you've been looking for?

it's stuck on another person's sole
never to be given back
still editing.

you said you love me,
but not my dark side.

I still taste you,
You're traced on my teeth,
These shallow shadows peek in between.
Walk my fine lines,
Fall to a side,
Where I catch you with my lips,
Hands inside your hips.
You gasp when you realize,
Our hearts are cold as ice.
When I warm you up,
Maybe we won't mind.
We're young and confused,
If you win I lose it,
Let's just do it all again!
Look out for the sins we commit,
Your God abandoned me,
And if the shoe fits,
I might just need you,
You know ****-well why!
When we get tongue tied,
We waste their lives!
I won't live my life in their lies.
It's a dark reality,
Kiss you endlessly,
You're alone with me,
Abandoned by reason,
So why are our shirts on?
Extinguish our boredom!
Bite me if you like me!
I won't drop you,
Like my ****** knives,
Get down to your knees girl,
Celebrate a ***** world.
Tell me if you'll smite me,
Sink your fangs in,
Take me for a spin.
When you win,
I'll let you in.
ugh

you love the idea of being loved,
but not me
my first try, i hope it's ok.
