Laid down, lights on
It was bright, the light
Reminds me of you
As radiant as the sun light
As beautiful as the moon light
And yet it hurts
My eyes, now teary, searing with pain
I turned off the lights
And yet I still see you
Your brilliance your sillhoutte still etched in my mind
Waiting for the pain to die down
Slowly

There was a Bird
Flying high, free and alive
And there was the Hunter
Traps set, cage ready

With no fail the bird gets captured
Caged and brought home
Left unsure, scared not knowing what's to happen
The bird longs for the sky
The Hunter longs for the Bird
He feeds the Bird, takes care of the Bird
And yet the Bird still longs

Time passes, the Hunter lets free of the Bird
Knowing that the Bird will never be truly happy caged
The Bird happy and free, flies
Not caged anymore it flies
And yet it doesn't leave the Hunter
The Bird that long for freedom has been forever caged with the hunter
Always caring, always loving
Caged in the warmth of the Hunter

*Are you the Bird or the Hunter
ES Dec 2016
You are so bright
Showering me with your joy and happiness
You give color to my world painting it on a blank canvas of stars and blue
With a swift boom you make my heart resound as it echoes
And yet you left me with chaos then emptiness
You came and left quickly, leaving only trails of ash
Bits and pieces continue to fall hurting my being
And then silence, ear shattering silence

******* fireworks..
*fireworks hurt*
ES Feb 2017
Once you told me I was your home
I gave you warmth and comfort day after day
I was your shield in any rain, any heat that may have hurt you
I may have had to get some repairs or fixes for some faults that I have
But you were still there for me not minding it
You have were the heart of this home

Were.

You left to live in another
This home has become abandoned
Windows are cracked, pipes are now creaking
Wall has become faded and the roof is now leaking
The home has become empty for its heart is gone

And yet I am still waiting
Still hoping for you to call me home again
ES Mar 2017
We are alike
We like the same hobbies, same movies, same food, same everything
And yet we will never be
Because like magnets, we will never meet
We are two north poles
We will never see each other
We are too alike
Avoiding, evading, not even glancing
Barred by a force not even knowing how
ES Jun 2017
Just a fake
Will never be real
I am just a con
In this world of metaphors and expressions
Savouring attention and longing
Even to a creature like me
Even if this world is also fake hanging onto an imaginary web of existence
I still want to be real
And so let me be fake
Until I become real
ES Dec 2016
Merry Christmas!!!

*What else can I say
ES Jan 2017
The mouth speaks what the mind thinks
"I am hungry"to quell the hunger
"I am thirsty" to quench the thirst
"I am tired" to heal the body
"I am stressed" to relax the mind
And yet the mind is in love with the heart
That is why do not blame me when I say
"I need your smile" to brighten my day
"I need your eyes" to look at me with warmth
"I need your laugh" to sing me my lullaby
"I need you" to complete my life

Because my mind will always follow my heart
ES Feb 2017
Life is like Monopoly
You get a turn, earn some money, you buy some property
And the cycle repeats itself
Only it becomes harder, harsher, riskier
At the end you turn yourself to chance, to luck on rolling a good die
You sink or float, lose or win, die or live
It's funny how you can lose everything in a heartbeat

But then again, such is
**Life/Monopoly
ES Dec 2016
A broken chair holds no more support for one to sit on
A broken piano sings an offtune note that no one would understand
A broken body means you have reached the physical end of one's life
And yet a broken spirit will haunt you for all eternity.
What is one's body when there is spirit no more
A broken doll with no emotion rotting til the end of its days
One may say that it can be fixed to return order yet that is merely a lie
One can never go back to the way things before because time moves forward
It can never be before, a happenstance at best
ES Mar 2017
My Dear
I know our story has just began
My Eve
I would sin for you my love
My flame
I will not let the lights burn out
My Angel
I thank the mighty heavens above
My Darling
I hope I keep your smiles so dear
My Juliet
It's me and you and nothing else
My First
For everything that I had, have, will
My Last
Forevermore not til death do us part
ES Mar 2017
This is the thing about pain
Shallow
The wounds will heal but a part of it dies, forgotten, and replaced as if it was never there
You were nothing, you were not worth remembering, you were insignificant

That is why a scar is beautiful
It is a memento, a reminder
That I have felt pain that now became a scar
Every time i see it my nostalgia grows, yet melancholic
Felt new things that I have never felt before
Anger, depression, joy, love
And you were the scar that made
Pain so much worth it
ES Dec 2016
Patheticness is a choice not a label**
You choose to be pathetic and that is what drives every ****** person to rethink their life choices
It is a mindset of cowardice and acceptance of your truly pathetic life
And yet one becomes strong being pathetic
As only the strong can overcome and the weak gets drowned
So rise you pathetic people
As the others have done as the only one they never took pity on is themselves.
ES Feb 2017
You remind of the rain
I love the rain
The sound, the smell, the pitter patter of the raindrops
The deafening sound letting me cry out so no one will hear me
The falling raindrops touching my face reminding of tears that have already dried up
All of these I love about you
And yet you are also what gives me glum
As I knew that only when the rain stops
That my day becomes brighter
ES Jan 2017
As I walked this road of life
I came across you
Moving back is not an option
Moving forward means breaking you down
And so I was left with the question

Are you a roadblock to my life?
or
*Are you my final destination?
ES Feb 2017
Every year I dread this day
And it is not because I have had my heart broken
But because I feel nothing for it
ES Jan 2017
Time check two hours til midnight
He called, you left
Earphones plugged, distraction for the unnerving silence

Waiting, hoping, for you to come back
A minute passed, an hour passed
In the end, I have finally realized it
Tomorrow has come, and you are not here
ES Dec 2016
Woke up to the twilight morn
With an aching head and an aching heart
Hands touch the sheet of my bed
To shield myself away from both the cold and the loss warmth

The alarm clock started to ring, to my funny luck
Given with the choice to leave it on or turn it off
It was always the same thing that ****** me
Left with the choices that I never want to hear, do, or see

But clearly I am always the loser at this game called love
As every turn every choice is wrong when push comes to shove
It always leads back to why I did this and why not do that
Forever making decisions that will never be enough

And so go back to the culprit that started this montage
Still ringing still ticking haunting me every second
Likening itself to my every love that went gone
To stop is to accept that I have succumbed to my fate
To let it ring is to endure for an eternity.
All I can think of now,
"Why did I buy that stupid clock."
ES Dec 2018
I hate this
This feeling of indifference
This feeling of not caring
What am I missing?
Is this what I'm all amounting to?
That at the first sign of hope I cling to it and yet at the same not?
I don't wanna half-*** anymore
I want to change
I need to change
ES Jun 2018
Curious
How you set yourself up to fail
When you have not even started anything
ES Dec 2017
Nay, she was not the poem
She was the inspiration
ES Dec 2017
Forever with her is just a second
And yet it still falls short
ES Dec 2018
The day we first met, we were side characters of the other's stories
Never speaking, white noise to mosaic faces
The day we first talked, the picture became clear,
Vibrant and prismatic
ES Jul 2017
Sometimes it only takes a moment
For eveything to click
And yet we are fooled
That this brief moment of click
Would last a life time
ES Aug 2017
And you were the scar
that made the pain
all worth it.

Hate yourself....
Pity yourself......
Hurt yourself....
But always remember that there are other people who will also get hurt seeing you breaking
ES Oct 2017
We ask ourselves why we don't have the things we want
When rather we should ask how we can obtain it
ES Mar 2017
Am I in love with you
or
only the
concept of *you
ES Jun 2017
It's funny, how I keep going back
to remind myself I need to move forward
ES Oct 2017
Yes I am imperfect
But you complete me
ES Jun 2017
It hurt
And yet I am happy
You've made me realize
That I was capable of such love
So thanks for breaking me
ES Oct 2017
We are fickle beings
We do not know what we truly want
And that's why we crave for everything

I really hate liars
Ergo I hate myself

My love for Juliet cannot be measured
As it knows no bounds
ES Oct 2017
Let us
partake
in the joyride that is
life
A journey in a
road with
no end in
sight
ES Oct 2017
Let your hands be the wings
With your words as the guide
To the sky known as poetry
Where hearts ignite
ES Oct 2017
We let ourselves be
labeled
We lose sight of our
individuality
ES Oct 2017
Oh how wonderful would it be
For my dreams to be my reality
And my reality to be my dreams
ES Oct 2017
This little square area
With its books and scattered stereo tapes
Where only one person could fit
This is my happy space
ES Dec 2017
White noise and mosaic faces
Clear that my mind wanders
With longing and remorse
To the place what was once is
Where you and I belong
ES Oct 2017
Where are you, my love?
Have we met yet?
ES Oct 2017
Looking up, I see a twinkle
We look at the stars for what they once were
Like how I'd remember you from what was once us
ES Oct 2017
If you wanna half-*** everything in your life
Then don't expect to get anymore than that

All I need
is the lullaby of your

Life is a journey swimming in this sea of lies
I just hope that you are not the siren that will pull me in the depths of deceit
And give me the kiss of desire
For there will be no
Turning back
ES Dec 2016
"I can never understand women"
Hypocrisy from a man who's never even tried to understand a woman.
And hence the man tried.
Every time he figures something out new strings of question pop
Why what when where how which why
The more you understand the less you know
The less you know the more you want to understand
"Ah", said the man.
"I give up".

And the cycle continues...
ES Oct 2017
It is easy to lose yourself
When there is nothing left for you to lose
ES Jul 2017
Until when can I keep this charade
This mask full of deceit and lies
For the greater good I have suffered
For you I have kept silent
But now, others have noticed
Let the chains be broken, let the hounds howl
For when the chaos reigns and destruction resounds
I will be the center of it all
ES Jul 2017
Is this infatuation or is this love?
Either way I
am scared of *both

A letter that speaks volumes:

"K."
