Lost Indeed
He prayed for her pain so she’d crawl to his side,
While I prayed for her joy and love of all kinds.
He needed her broken to feel he was whole—
I wanted her shinning, with peace in her soul.

He loved her for him, for control, for his gain,
I loved her for her, through hardships and rain.
He smiled at her failure, a mask in disguise—
While I bled in silence, still wishing her skies.

For what kind of love would dance on her tears?
Rejoice in her downfall or feed of her fears?
I prefer to be lonely, with grief as my chain,
Than ever be cause of her fall or pain.
He prayed for you to fail...
A cruel vile beast
Creeps within me

This beast
Carries a disease

It sulks and cries
It looks me in the eyes

With a heart covered in vines
It carries vengeance deep inside
It sprouted a tree
From the depths of my memories

It infects me
Living within my chest
Changing my heart
Polluting the stream of my blood

The vines and branches,
Grow from the tree
Wrapping around my organs
My body
Squeezing me

Tighter

Tighter

Bones crack




My breath weakens
My heart numbs
My brain on auto-drive

My eyes pop from my sockets
As my vision blurs—


Paralyzed body—


Disease filled body—


At last the tree and I become one

In my reflection I see
The beast is me
I stumbled across
Your shredded heart and soul
I sewed it up
I fixed the holes,

As I sewed it up
I pricked my fingers

To fix the holes
I needed fabric

I cut fabric off my heart and soul—
Breaking mine to repair yours

Sacrifice after sacrifice
You did not care,
For when you recovered,
You turned your back
Leaving me.

Leaving me torn,

Torn in shreds.

you cup my heart;
enlacing it between
your fingers
with tender care.

you feel it’s beating;
as it is weirdly alive–
weirdly on fire–
above your palm.

so brush your thumb
against this igniting heart,
and press your lips
on it in a tender kiss.

as the only thing
keeping it beating
is the passion
that you coat it with.
This poem is inspired in Howl's Moving Castle movie from Studio Ghibli. Funny enough, I have literally never felt this kind of connection, but felt like exploring it. Hopefully, I did a half-decent job at it.
The air was aerie and silent, chilly breezes blowing like songs of sorrow

It’s dark, it’s scary, but it tells a beautiful story

Stories that took place on dark nights, just like this one

Stories where the trees looked more frightful than ever, as they cast lonely shadows in which sublime monsters lurk


But with courage, if you venture, if you strike down your fear,

You’ll trial through the forest and come across a safe haven;

A clearing where owls hoot, where fireflies spark

And the deep, blue sky is covered in glittering stars

Then the moon, the supreme ruler of the night– hovering above

Like a celestial being—

To be worshiped,

To be loved

So perhaps the night isn’t so frightful after all
