Please bury my thoughts.

I sit alone as if I am fading
Invisible in the ashen fields.
My heart longs to be somewhere
to where I see myself
Clear as the new day
True to oneself’s beauty
Away from the toxicity of people’s opinion
Or as far away from my own shadow of doubt.

I sit alone & not running anymore.
Losing strength as the wind passes by
Losing a bit of my edge in this unreasonable persona, I face.
Yet I never give a **** as long as I kept on going
Reaching for something Unreachable,
I can only hope…

I want to feel the life of someone’s at arm’s reach
to feel that I am alive
I missed you.

this feels like a follow-up on my 'ashen gray' piece:

though it is much more in a different road,
a road that i am longing to have..

Silent Thoughts
I wish I could go back to before I had felt love
The deep insatiable longing
A hole that could only be filled by another person
The certainty of a better emotion

Now I know that finding love does not fill holes
Sometimes it makes more of them
And I feel emptier than I did before
Because I know that I have to fill them

But I’m not sure with what

For many times
I promised it will be the last
but you always looked me in the eyes

They spoke to my heart
telling me to not go away
They spoke to my heart
telling me to stay

I already lost count

We think we can change
the ones we love
and then eventually
we find ourselves changed

We think we can protect
the ones we love
and then eventually
we find ourselves unguarded

We think we can be true
to the ones we love
and then eventually
we find ourselves deceived

We think we can love
the ones we love
and then eventually
we find ourselves unloved
