You and I
are unfinished business
if ever there was a transaction
made in the first place

You and I
are not familiar with closure
Maybe we need a dictionary
to find the meaning of it

You and I
with prides so enormous
it rivals the height of the Petronas
and we need to stop

Because you and I
once meant something
deep inside, we'll always be
each other's "what if's"?

You are the subject
of unfinished poems
Whenever I try to finish
I just can't do it

And you're also the subject
of endless thoughts
Whether happy or disappointing
it makes me go crazy

Whether you're the reason
if not a lovesick excuse
I don't know why my favorite subject
Will always be you

As the tears fall down
    I think of misery
     I'll never be happy

Somebody help me

More tears fall down
As realization came to me
That no one will help me
No, I can't be set free

In falling tears, I drowned
And I can never be saved
So now I have to be brave
Despite the tears falling
Again and again
I wrote this a little over a year ago, a few weeks before my high school graduation. It was during those times when my depression got worse and was dangerously suicidal. I wouldn't say I'm a whole lot better but at least I've gone a long way from what I was then.

I am free to write

No anxiety would constrain

No mental blocks in my brain

will happen anymore

---
For the first time

In a very long period

I have confidence that I could

express all emotions

--
And the lightness inside

wouldn't compare to anything

The hardship I suffered

Is there no more

I wish you had feelings for me
for I can't keep mine in secrecy
It will forever be a mystery
if I was ever your fantasy

Indeed, our love story
is non-existent, unfortunately
If you and I aren't meant to be
Then that would be a pity
Does your heart ever beat for me
Like they way mine does for thee?
