Semblance
Keren May 2016
Fear lingered me
Through hallucinations I can't fathom
Debt you want me to repay
Im not liable of.

You devoured my being
Purloined my thinking
Undermined my efforts so you can surely shine
I risked everything so that I wont tarnish.

In faded lights, I saw silhouette
In darkness, I glimpsed an apparition
In mirror, i conceived deception
**I recognized you----you are me

Counting
Keren May 2016
One* hurt's breaking
Two eyes filled with tears
Three words never said again
Four missives were burned
Five syllables of your name became a bad word
Six tulips, gone withered
Seven days a week I longed for you.
Eight love songs we loved, I now hate.
Nine hurtful words from you broke me into pieces and ended everything
Ten months till I realized you werent for me.
Eleven months, I finally got closure.
Twelve months made me realize, baby, truly I wasnt for you.

Sing me a Song
Keren May 2016
Sing me a song,
A song that will make me remember,
Remember the things we used to love
A sing that makes our world go round.

Sing me a song,
A song that will mend my heart,
The heart you left with scars,
A song that heals a broken heart.

Sing me a song,
A song that will make me forget you,
Fogert the songs you sang for me.
*A song you and I will no longer remember.
Inspired by Jennifer Ronda's Sing me a Song

If I were...
Keren May 2016
If I were a song, I'd tell you to play me on repeat.
If I were a movie, I want you to watch me every night till you feel sleepy.
If I were a pen, I'll let you to empty my soul for you to quench your thoughts.
If I were a bird, I'll let you stay at my back for you to see how beautiful life is.
If I were a blanket, I'll always keep you warm and assure you that there are no monsters on your bed.
If I were a dream, I'll take you to the place where you can be the star.
If I were a spaceship, I'll let you travel the outer space and find yourself.


And
If I were a poem, I want you to remember me.
Keep me in your mind.
Lock me in your heart.
Because If I were a poem...
I am this poem

*that'll always wish to be something significant for you

For you.
Keren May 2016
As I stand staring at the blue clear sky,
While the sound of crashing waves echoes in my mind,
I remember your eyes looking so bright that time.
I gazed every inch of imperfection yet I still saw beauty behind those holes.


We sat on those spacious bench.
I remember you beside me being in silence,
We counted vintas on the calm bay.
And funny thing, I wished you to stay.


All I knew is the burning love I had for you.
I didnt even notice that it burned you.
I stared at the blue clear sky without noticing it's getting dark.
I remembered how blind I was to keep loving you.


And finally, Im letting these feelings go like how you left me.
The thing is, it took me a long time to let go.
And you left me in a blink of an eye.

Keren May 2016
I held my pen so tight.
I squeeze my mind till it bleeds.
I emptied my heart.
I freed myself from pain.


I want to shout.
     I want to hurt others' feelings.
            I want to vociferate.
                  I want you to notice me.
                          Somehow.

I wish
Keren May 2016
I wish...
That by the time I finish this, Im so over you.
I wish...
That you'll be haunted every night by the love I gave you.
I wish...
That you'll remember me like I never  forgot you.
I wish...
That you can't sleep at night like how I stayed awake thinking about us.
I wish...
That you'll drown in tears like how I can't even swim.
I wish...
That you'll forgive yourself like how I blame myself for everything.
I wish...
That you'll regret losing me like how happy I am now being free.
I wish...
That you'll love me like how I love you until I finish this poem.
I wish...
That I could ever stop, like how you ended things between us.
I wish...
But I cant.
