Expiring Time
marc rios Nov 7
If life knocks on your door
To take back whats taken for granted
What will your questions be?

If the moon utters a declaration
Do you think you were good enough to be taken out of gravity?
If you'll be sent way down south
What will your last words be?

When you hear the heavens sing and all you hear is wicked, will your tears fall in regret as all you can do now is bleed in remorse? Tell me, what will it be?

If it knocks on your spirit
What will your questions be?
If it utters the unspoken
What will your last words be?
When the melody defeats your chaos
Tell me, what will it be?

Stifling Thoughts
marc rios Nov 4
The mirrors are caving in
Reflecting cuts within
If i embellish as a fragrant of your memory
Will it hint a side of my chivalry? or just the highlights of my tyranny?
Lately, mornings have been heavy
So i try my best to hide in all of midnights
Hoping daylight won't ever find me

Tell me, how can i break my seal from these starfield of make-believes?
Each hope i own is engulfed in fallacies,
Wishes were all just fantasies
I look unto the sky of the bluest face
As i resonate in shame and disgrace
I sit by the window with a moonlit face
Longing for a time, where woe finally stops coloring me....

Memory of You
marc rios Sep 30
I always thought freedom is losing you
Instead all i feel now is imprisonment

Bars would be the series of my mistakes in a life i have chosen, a life i thought would be bliss without you, i was wrong.

If words expresses what i feel, those words would spell i miss you.

I regret having a memory of letting you go, i wish it's still me and you

Happier with someone
marc rios Sep 8
How can i find someone better than you
When i know no one can ever compare
I crave your skin, i miss your scent
So much that it hurts

It hurts.....
to imagine your pillowdent on another's
It hurts.....
to see you swiftly replace me with another
It hurts.....
to have loved you more than i should have

But there is nothing left to be done
It hurts......
But i have to accept that you are now gone, happier with someone

MESSenger
marc rios Sep 6
I took the hand of a false prophet
'Cause I know i found happiness
Even for brief moments
Tomorrow i might suffer the consequences
But since then, i know pain
Like i know my own name
Might not be a friend of mine
But a company is a company
And it is so much better than being empty

Surreptitious Meetings

You feel like the sun in a middle of skyfall
Embraced by your ember skin
That feels nothing but of a sweet lullaby
worthwhile and consigned to oblivion.

Untying Ties

Someday,
I'll eventually find the courage
To burn this bridge between us

And I'll watch you crumble
Before my very own eyes
As my heart witness you drown
In a pool of tears
I wasted

Melancholic Rain
marc rios Aug 19
And so i screamed back at the sky
As it roared the heaviest rain
Tell me, was it all a lie?

The moment he looked me in the eye?
Was it all a joke?
'Cause all im feeling now is goodbye

Was i running for a race
Bound to lose in disgrace

Will that kiss be the death of me
Bedridden inside an empty yard of grave?

Cold Ember
marc rios Aug 18
I thought the flames would last
But i burned for you solely for the thrill
Those hills i jet skied
The waters i jet speed
Isn't something i will list in regret

Those ticks of time screaming in scarce
Felt like a novel of a romantic crime
Stolen heart, undisclosed kisses
A short-lived fantasy of make-believes

Now i watch you burn for another
Thinking what i could've done
To made our ember brighter
'Cause all i have now is our ashes of dreams
And a long haul of time in mental cages
Hello everyone! Its been two freaking years since i last posted. Just wanna say, im back!

One day,
When dust and ashes becomes us
And all there's left is a house made of memories
I hope i'd see you
In a life after the end.

When you thought the problem would be as shallow as it can get
Only to find yourself
Gasping for breath later

Not knowing if you'll drown
Or get over it

marc rios Jul 2022
Did i drank too much medicine
To make me sick?

Did i took your poison in disguise
In thoughts it could heal me?

Did i pushed the antidote away
So you wouldn't go?

Do i just love to self sabotage
And think someone would
Come and rescue?

Or am i just too damaged
To think i don't
deserve any better

STAY, FALL, AND SPROUT
marc rios Jul 2022
As you grow and blossom
Some leaves will stay
Some falls and some sprouts
But you just have to keep standing
Because as they all come and go
No one but only yourself
Is always going to be there
To water you with strenght
Fertilized you with dreams
And give you your own sunlight
When you are about to succumb and falter

Loosing Battles
marc rios Jun 2022
Kept my pride at bay
To win your trust.
Im loosing dignity for you

Withdrawn my right
And questioning my worth.
Im loosing sanity for you

Attempted to reach for the stars
And thought outside of hundreds of boxes.
Im loosing quality time for my self because of you

I tried to gave you everything
And i recieved nothing but misery
Im loosing a lot of battles for you
But i am not further allowing myself to lose me

I am finally choosing to lose you.

Left with no other choice

A line of silver
marc rios Apr 2022
I wish i could take this pain out of my chest
Because i know for sure
That tonight i will be weeping in my sleep
I know for sure
That when i wake up tomorrow
The ache will only continue
The next day will be the same

But i am hoping for a night
Where i will sleep loved
And wake up tomorrow
Blessed

Temporary satisfaction
marc rios Apr 2022
I kept everything hidden
Stacked behind the thickest wall i built
It made me felt safe
It gave me all the hapiness in the world
Until one day the wall leaked
Suddenly im sitting somewhere alone
Pathetic and sad

The spaces behind it is no longer empty
All these painful memories rushing are making me weary
There is no running now
There is no escaping now
As a single tear drops from my eye
I realized the price i paid for that wall
Was myself
marc rios Mar 2022
I can feel it
This pain
This sorrow
This color of grey
Is tainting my innocence

This feeling is new
Perhaps it's what they all call
Heart Break?

Nightmare worth dreaming
marc rios Feb 2022
All i can see is red
In a nightmare about you
Myself advised me to love you
Myself warned me to hate you
And all i did was watch me
Fall deeper for you

All i see is regret
For not loving you enough
And for loving you too much

I caused myself pain
And love not like anyone else's
It was worth remembering and forgetting
It was a nightmare worth dreaming

Painful Cut
marc rios Feb 2022
The day i lost you
Was the day i lost a piece of me
You were the reason
I raised above
But now the reason
Why im drowning

The day i lost you
Was the beginning of a new chapter
Pages of blanks
Ghost written by sorrow and pain

The day i found you
Was bittersweet
Because it led to a yesterday of love
Left to a present with our memories only

Your everlasting love
One timeline can be timeless
One happy ending can feel endless
One lifetime could easily feel lifeless
But im holding your hand
Walking in the rain
Warming each other seamingless

Silhouetted world
marc rios Jan 2022
They said my blood is tainted
With the color of disgrace
They said my blood is magenta painted
I should never show my face

They say it with their mouth
Im poisoned
They show it with their faces
Im not accepted

They frown upon me
And i doubt myself everyday
What is this misery?
A question i hope answered someday

Because you still manage
To break and hurt me
My heart once wasn't beating
Now in pieces, scattering
