ieyam Dec 2020

So you see, I’ve fallen down, down, down
The rabbit hole again
Filling voids, the empty space on my bed

Sore throats and bruised knees
Begging for more,
one
last
please.

Heartbreak Warfare

ieyam Jul 2018

Heartbreak Warfare

You pulled the trigger
     and it pierced my skin, tore at my flesh,
          burrowed itself into the depths of my being.

Then I suddenly realised the irony,
      that your love - the very thing I lived for
          was none other than the bullet that killed me.

Hopelessly Bound 2: Still

ieyam Apr 2018

Hopelessly Bound 2: Still

It's not healthy anymore
I crave for you every single day
A minute without talking to you
Is like a year without rain

I really am miserable
But how would you know?
I'm here waiting on your hand and foot
While you're just enjoying the show

Remember December

ieyam Apr 2018

Remember December

People keep saying, "Love hurts"
But love didn't hurt you, did it?
Love didn't make you cry,
Love didn't break you -

I did.

I Want What You Have

I Want What You Have

But really, we're all just searching
For something to sink our teeths into
Anything to take our
minds
off
The things we don't want to get used to

Sunset • 8.2.11

I've always wondered why when you say goodbye
Beautiful colors paint the sky

Shades of oranges, reds, pinks, and blues
All come out because of you

And although I hate to see you go
I truly do enjoy the show

I've seen you leave so many times
But it's still a favorite sight of mine

There'll be no sadness, be no sorrow
Because my sun, you'll shine again tomorrow

I'll feel no hurt, feel no pain
As you make your way down
Your colors shall reign

Fixed up an old poem of mine that I found. Oh, the treasures that lie deep within the pockets of one's forgotten closet.

The Story of You and I: Acoustic Version

ieyam Oct 2017

The Story of You and I: Acoustic Version

It was the grandest of heists
The most elaborate of schemes
You had me under your charm
Every moment like a dream

You have stolen the one thing
I was sworn to protect
Broke off the cage and took it
Then left it for dead

Now lying in the middle of the streets
All ****** and weak
You stand in front of me
A twisted smile between your cheeks

You got me where you wanted me
It was your plan all along
To string me like a melody in your symphony
Of broken-hearted songs

Spilled Ink - 1

Spilled Ink - 1

Flowers will grow from the beds of my soul again,
and they will bloom the prettiest out of all that has.
Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow,
but soon.
And by then I will have learned the lesson to stop picking them for anyone,
lest of all for people like you.

The Beginning of the End.

ieyam Jul 2016

The Beginning of the End.

In between the sheets you left your scent
So tell me, now that you've left
How can I ever sleep here again?

Maybe.

ieyam Jul 2016

Maybe.

Maybe in a parallel universe
Maybe in a different city
Maybe with different identities
Maybe in a different infinity
I swear we're meant to be together
Our hands will forever be intertwined
Believe me when I say that destiny is still on our side
Just not in this weather
Not in this tide
Maybe not today
But maybe in another lifetime

Hopelessly bound.

ieyam Mar 2016

Hopelessly bound.

My mind still manifests vivid images of you
Hauntingly beautiful works of art
Do you see what I've become?
I've made you my master
You've made me your slave
I'm under your spell that can't be undone

— The End —
