at the end of the day, i stared at the teabag
that i scooped out from the ***.
wet and sloshy, its scent faded and sweetened;
it wasn't itself anymore.

without its lingering bitterness
without its verdant hues,
or its unique aromas that they fancied,
it could never be who it was.  

the used teabag, now that its purpose was served,
is no longer wanted.
was it fulfilled by the amount of tea it gives,
or was it emptied?

I can hear it slicing through my brain,
like a sharp, stray tune of imperfect melody.
It tampers with desolate whimpers
A cry for attention
My contoured skin is peeled away
by those words

"Never will I be,
Pretty."

If I could just cut it off
like excess skin
like layers of flabby fats

If there's a liposuction
for dark thoughts
If I can tuck it
away from my tummy

I'd do it in a heartbeat.
A poem I wrote for a play

I watch you cower
on your bed
with your hands
clutching the mattress
And I could see
the droplets
start pouring out

it's raining so badly
in your heart
isn't it?

The people are crying
of joy
and they celebrate
but you
you're dying
in your own room
screaming in the silence
of your thoughts

they broke you
didn't they?

I am watching
and my dear soul
is crumbling away
with yours.

he is like an unfinished painting
a song with secretive lyrics
he spills a line then retracts a paragraph
with his eyes; that wide ocean
of unending metaphors
he watches and keeps to himself
a bag full of captured moments

and i am a bird, perched on an ordinary tree
i craned my neck, yet he couldn't see
my subtle melody, another mystery,
trapped underneath the leaves
i beg for mercy from a worm
that was supposed to be my meal

there are no trees across the ocean.

even in the negatives
i will never be cleared
or towed away in his collection of polaroids
yet in between my words, there he is
coloring the spaces my ink left
filling and filling and spilling
on my bed sheet, in my closet
among the neurons in my head

there will never be trees across the ocean.
New poem, old feelings. Just a reminiscence that loses its significance.
I.

I.
on the brink of night

waiting, eyes open.

nothing in me is still

but nothing outside moves

hours of staring at lightless window

wasting time thinking about

the wrong person.



A glimpse of the moon

parted by leaves

outside my window

reminds me of how alone I am.

Always the one standing at the passageway

under the busy road

wasting time thinking about

the wrong

person,

I.
loneliness; a feeling or a friend? I couldn't see the difference anymore

Your eyes are telling a tale
Everywhere you go

Your steps are making rhythms
silent and slow

Your head was never high
Nor does your voice

Every tremble of your hands
Every quiver on your lips
I know.
for my lovely friend who had thought for all these years no one has seen the pain in his eyes or the anxiety on his face. I miss you. be strong.

How do you handle the jealousy?
The hurt within the truth.
Lies the lips has used to utter,
"I don't mind."
I do, in fact,
I do too much.

A weird melody,
an empty tune,
Struck twice and no more,
Heard as the wind blows,
Bled hearts through and through.

On the porch I lie,
Let the water runs,
and when my skin dries,
I'll go on.

what shall i write today
on this scrawny paper?

when a lion decides
to grow wings
and the old man wants
to become a toddler again.

when fire is ice
and ice is something else

when a melting *** can't hold heat
and loses its shape.

when a heart is prancing
and legs grabbing

when a man is not a man
but a rocking chair
swaying back and forth
and back
and forth
and back
and forth
I lost my therapist more than a month ago on a sudden accident. In this fleeting moment of life, I'm learning to depend on myself again. Thus, new writing. Imperfect, but needed for me. Very needed.

I'm hopelessly intoxicated
by the idea of
someone pulling me up
or for the sea to dry

Don't leave me up to my fate
oh Darkness
send an army to grab me up
save me save me save me
because I can't save myself.
One of my old (not so good) poem.
Fudz Lana Feb 2014
what triggers this pain?
Is it the look that you gave me,
or the words from your mouth,
Is it the meaning behind it,
or what I understand?

It has been years
of hiding behind the doors
seeking the truth.
beneath your burst of anger
and your insidious laughter
Do you really meant those phrases?

Stuck inside my mind
playing automatically in silent nights
Is it really just me
that remember
the moments of intense yelling
and fearful gestures?

Do you ever consider
how much it affects
my lonely breaking heart?
Written when I was 17.  Not the best of my work.

There's no such thing as impeccable silence
there's always soft wind blowing
a twig stepped on
slow gasps in the wedding hall.

There's no such thing as impeccable silence
there's always phones vibrate
fork screeching plate
quiet prayers of a sick little girl
teetering on her fate.

there's a gap
inside of me
that couldn't be filled

I went
walking down every streets
watching people's footsteps
trying to find
which rhythm
that I could dance to
without tripping down

I watch
the purple sky before sunrise
and the orange glimmer before nightfall
trying to understand
which moment
that I could amend myself
at least for a smile

but no matter how far
this feet has brought me
no matter how much
time has been wasted

this tiring journey
has never succeed
in finding
the right piece
to fill the gap.
several days without missing even one, my heart feels like a burn that won't heal.

"silence is the loudest scream"

now I'm screaming at the top of my lungs
and still you won't hear me.
