Again I bleed
Through this ink
Slashing the skin of this chapter
With this quill

Again I tear up
This heart of mine
Pouring the blood
From inside

And I take a sip
From the cup of words
Bitter taste of misery
On my tongue
As the poison
Kills me slowly
In my sleep

No one knows
Hidden secrets
Behind this face of mine
To be shoved
Into a coffin
While I'm still breathing
Being forced
To sleep with fear
Every night
Nowhere to run
When your nightmares
Live inside

So I carry
The burden within
Dragging along the road
Leaving
The ****** trail behind
This curse
Will forever
Mark my skin
A condemned soul I am
In this life
But what's waiting
On the other side
When heaven
Erased my name
From the list of the guest

Do you know what it’s like
To live with misery
Nightmares within reality
A constant fight
To stay awake so you won’t be killed
By insanity

Do you know what it’s like
To swallow **** from time to time
And not being able to puke
So it becomes your food
From day to day

My soul……
Has become the nest for wrath
My heart…..
Turned into the blackest pit of hatred
Tears has been dried
And I speak in silence
For this voice of mine
Has been sacred long after
My tongue stopped uttering a word

I’m not strong
Nor I’m weak
I’m barely hanging on
Helplessly here…..
Waiting to be invited
To rest…… for eternity

The quill
Has become the blade
Slashing my emotion
With words written
Blood spills
On the canvas
Painting the portrait of misery
Every drop of heartache
Bring out
The painful image
And I swallow my pride
Showing vulnerability
In this piece of sorrow
When I keep slaying
My conscience
With the motion of this ink
Weakness shown
Teary eyes
As I **** myself
In this agonizing poem
Crafted by me

Spilling blood
On this paper
Slaying my conscience
With words written
Such a painful art I present
By slicing the flesh of emotion
Bit by bit
I bleed through this ink
Not for amusement
Nor for attention
It's just an addiction
To feel sorrow
Through the quill
For agony has become
The food for my thought
And heartache
Etched upon my soul
Silent scream
Embedded between the line
This is who I am
An addict
For words of misery

Looking at you through the moon
Trying to crack
What's buried inside your mind
Only to find out
That your thought lives
Within me

You may not searching for me
Through the moon
But you never realized
You're looking at me
In everything you see

A collaboration


Hunting, the moon
Which of your shine glows from
A kingdom over satin skin
Stars around your head
Which I wished
Once grazed upon forever

Parting sky from sea
Is where I've fallen between
Soft lips and kind eyes
Caused a storm constantly when remembering
What you were inside of me
What you are...

Held breath into your return
Underneath my soul is burn
Where your cool energy can only calm
This unbalance of heart and mind
A connection blessed to be

Staring into open sky
Soaking in our rain
Calling to you
Of closed seeking...
Longing for thee

Parting from sky
I'm the moon
Shining above you
Where I paint stars
On your bare skin
Preserving my glow in you

Open sea, that's me
Welcoming you to bathe in me
For this water will calm
The rage of emotion within
Sealed with kisses
To remind you of me

Breathe me in
And feel my presence
For never once
I leave you all alone
To fight the storm on your own

Gazing upon the sky
Whisper to the wind
Feel me in the air
For I'm everywhere
Whenever you're longing for me
