She used to dance with the rhythm
no one could ever hear
-like poems and raindrops,
she crashes and pours.
But nay, her sleepless nights are o'er,
and so with the nightmares of her painful past..

Now she walks in a garden
which flowers bloom
from stitches and scars.
psyche Dec 2020
Everyone deserves
both the sun and the rain.
But not everyone gets
the same amount of both.
And so is with the weigh
of love we ought to give
and receive.
psyche May 2021
Over the hills
we watched the sunset
and I couldn't help
but admire all pastels
mixed through air,
so I captured that very scene.

Now that I look upon
the memory,

I wish I was also able
to take a photo
of that someone
who made me see it

the first
and last time.
psyche Oct 2020
and when the rain stops
birds will hum their songs,
leaves will celebrate
from tears of joy,
the last sip of that hot coffee
will be the tastiest,
the air anew,
rainbows will smile...

at last,
she now won't hide.
Darkness no more.
psyche Feb 2016
Sweet from the inside
In sugar it was coated
I tasted it for the first time
Feels like heaven that I swore

‘twas nice
I felt good in every bite
Pleasure…
It gave me a lot of it
That I savored even its last morsel

Now I was left with nothing
But a piece of ****.
i'm a mess. but i'm not sorry for myself
psyche Dec 2020
Tonight
I'll sleep under
the ceiling of stars;
in a blanket
I'd be caressed by hugs.
Under my pillow
our captured days will rest.

Beneath my bed,
my monster at peace.
she'd whisper a poem-
the love we never had.

And while the crickets
sing their hope for us,
we'd both bleed
our hearts to sleep.
"Sweet dreams, dear"
We both hushed at once.
psyche May 2021
There will always be
a bittersweet taste
of reminiscing moments with you.

-Sweetness that makes me smile
upon remembering your face again.

-Bitterness that makes my heart shrinks
upon realising I won't see it again.
psyche Oct 2020
He told me his story.
I gulped back the tears.

We both ended up
teary-eyed.

Him, for joy.
I, for pain.
psyche Sep 2021
Tell me something
more enchanting
than two souls
intertwined
long before
a single touch.
psyche Nov 2014
Once
I caught a butterfly,
a gorgeous one.
Its wings glow
With colours I don’t have any idea
of describing and naming.
It’s just that…
I liked it.
It stayed for a while
there in my little silky hand.
It never moved.
I thought it would stay
longer.
But I was wrong.
Until it finally wiggled its wings
and danced across the air.
Leaving me all alone
with mine bare hand
that once hath ringed in it.
It flew
away
and
away
and
away.
Now, I have no idea
of describing and naming it.
It’s just that…
I love it...
I do.
i wish i realized it just before it left me.
psyche Nov 2014
our song had just ended
no more rhythm
no more lyric
no more tone
I swallowed my pride
and play it all over
again.

Again,
I heard the tune
that bizarre tone
that once we used to sing
It’s just that...
I sing it all...

alone

right now.
psyche Sep 2015
you never know how much i cared
you never even cared how much i did
it hurts, though i never asked for more
i still loved you anyway

but the countless nights end
when all sweet legendary tales closed
a hymn to wave sweet farewell then
i closed my eyes in breeze of pain

you are free; you are now
go and fly
be happy, and promise me
to never come back
ever again
just a lil favor on my side.
you gave up, you just did. what else can i do? you're not holding anymore.
psyche May 2020
Well that's the thing
'bout poetry.

You paint emotions
thru letters.
Each happiness
you write in BOLD.
You laugh your smiles
in lines;
in stanzas,
all shades of gray
you let the world see.

And in every piece,
you embrace a soul
with a touch
of bittersweet
ellipsis

...
psyche May 2020
Unlike the missing piece
on a puzzle;
an incomplete work of art,

the unfinished
written poem,
and the scribbles
along the walls.

A blank canvas
caught by the eye
could give
the greatest lesson
of them all...


Emptiness isn't worst
after all.
psyche Mar 2015
let me not to let it all go.
let me not to let it all end.
time goes by, world is round
pin the things in places they fit.

spin the wheel
we'll be up and down
the joyous smiles will then be ours.

spin the wheel
we'll fly in place

but path is round...
we'll meet again.
psyche Mar 2021
We might not be privileged enough to
choose who we could love
but we will always have the freedom
to choose what could hurt us.

And at the end of your battle,
I hope that whatever you have chosen
will always worth all the pain.
without any single regret.
psyche Apr 2021
We do not read epilogues
in the middle of conflicts
nor when characters
are torn apart

We bleed when they
fall apart

and our hearts
die to be reborn
either with hope
or emptiness.

that's when a breather takes place-
an epilogue that
makes us more
of how the ones we met
and part ways with
built us anew.
psyche Aug 2020
Being brave enough
to heal your own wounds

and being a lot braver
to forgive
those who have
caused you pain.
psyche Jun 2020
She preserved all the memories
in every corner of her frozen heart
that when she melts
she cries a river
full of pain
from what she held on
for so long.
...and it still hurts.
psyche Nov 2020
My eyes are now dried
and I need to fetch some tears
to quench my thirst.
But the last thing I'll do
is to give my heart away
again
to you.
psyche Jan 2018
She swam as if she was to fly
Up the world she'd never been
The water smells as if it's air
Beneath the pain she felt inside.

Oh how cunning life could be
For her to love and be
The curse of someone's grief
And cry alone in waves

Where she was a cast out
With her red brilliant tail
Under the cold dark corner
Of her lil newly polished room.
psyche Nov 2020
We breathe
to live
that someday
we'd realize
how we needed
to live
for death.
psyche Nov 2014
i've seen a sin
with thousands of tiny seam
its smell was concealed
by a shameful sinless silk.

a dark concoction shaded into white
with its pointed armour
covered by a dull cold rusted metal

i use it
i always.

to huddle
these tons
of horrifying
hurtful truth.
psyche Nov 2014
I looked at her
As she glances at me
Those crystal beans
On her eyes were falling.

I saw the sadness
She’s been hiding inside
The pain she’s been carrying
On that cold dark night.

She then smiled at me
Telling me she was fine
I smiled back at her
I wish I could help.

She started the conversation
Though no words came out
I, then understood
It really hurts.

No one could ever understand
No one…
No one could ever care
No one..

I felt the pain
I wiped her tears
On that cold dark night
I only have my replica.
psyche May 2020
You remind me of
how he loved the ink;
the way it tint
on my bare skin,
leaving me nothing
but prints.
psyche Nov 2014
our love is like the sun and the moon
we were unintentionally pulled by the gravity
you kiss the earth
I hug the night
I’ll say hello,
you’d wave goodbye.

perhaps we weren’t really
meant to be
mines the sand
yours is the wave
I was waiting for you
and will always be
but when you were there
it seems that you never cared
wiping every lil grains of me.

you stand so firm
you never seemed
the dusk collides
from earth I breath.

I stood here still
the river flows
I see your face
across the wildest coast.

I count your laugh
I hoped to smell
the life you had
though unaware
you made me dreamt..
it’s just the odd
who seems to know

I was soaked in the air
I was caught by the wind
I’m a shell in a reef
praying for someone
who'd fin’lly reap
‘tis untold love of mine
that once hath bloomed

in the unreachable soul
of thy calm aloof ocean.
he's a wind
i'm a dust
maybe i might as well learn how to accept.
we weren't supposed to breathe the same air.
psyche Aug 2020
It isn't perfect,
but it isn't ugly.
And so life is.
psyche Nov 2014
I won’t take a pique;
Won’t even try to speak.
But if by chance you’d ask me why,
I’ll say no word
And let this pen spill off my sword.
hear my voice
psyche May 2020
which pains
the most...

him, forgetting
every untold
story of us,

or the other
way around.
psyche May 2021
Let thy bitten heart
bleed all painful tears
and be it a reminder
of how all wounds heal
through aches.
psyche Feb 2021
Remember that day
you told me you have found
the one?
You were so happy
you didn't notice
how I screamed all pain
through smiles.
love,
your best friend
psyche Nov 2020
And to our ears,
all tick and tocks of clocks
became so familiar
that we missed
to savor each second
'twas willing to give
until it died.
psyche May 2020
Whoever,
whatever,
and wherever
you are

always keep in mind...

all clock's hands move
on the same speed.
Someone's choice between
staying still
or moving on

is what makes our
timelines' entries
diversed.
psyche May 2020
There's a reason
why coach calls for time outs

It's either
he cares for his players
or he was bothered by the numbers.

Either way,
I prefer watching the ball freed.
psyche Mar 2021
He who knows all wounds
is the only one who could tell
when enough is enough.

And he who knows all scars
is the only one who's familiar
with where it once bled,
when all lessons are learned,

and when it is time
to fin'lly let go.

You just listen...

Its every beat
beats with your pulse.
psyche Jun 2020
was laughing
flying in clouds
passing the rainbows
as you bring
all colours
my eyes have
never seen

but tonight...

I'm beginning
to fear the feels.

for you might
have just showed up

to warn and give me
storm surges.
psyche Apr 2020
He's the wind,
I'm a dust.
Maybe I might as well
learn how to accept...

We weren't supposed
to breathe
the same air.
psyche Sep 2017
Tell me all little things you couldn’t utter for so long.
walk me on a road you’ve been running alone.
show me the darkness; I’ll play the shadow
you said I was pain.
if I am,
then let me be the cast out light.
I’ll lead the path,
the collateral one-
where no amount of fear
nor a drop of tear
can ever collide.

I’m with you
just hold me tight

Love,
**L-O-V-E
It's not yet too late...
psyche Apr 2021
All fake smiles
I lost the count
whenever I see
someone love
loving
someone else.
psyche Jun 2021
"What did you trade me for?"
she asked.

"Happiness, " he answered,  then asked the same question.

"Unselfish love,"
she wanted to say.

But all she could utter was
"The same."
psyche Sep 2018
Once, you let
someone fill you
with joy
no one could have
done,
you've got
ten thousand
different feelings,
you honestly couldn't
contain the rest.


Stupid heart beats
foolish magnets
you lost the count

You were filled;
unaware of the wave
that'll drown you...

you were filled

to be

empty
.
lost
.
alone
Stupid heart beats
foolish magnets
you lost the count
psyche May 2018
I've wanted to dive
the deepest ocean;
explore its wonders
no eyes hath seen

I've wanted to dive
its every corner
to feel how it feels
the love it never gave

I've wanted to dive
and have a piece of it
I'll take the mem'ry
and leave my prints

I've wanted to dive
the deepest ocean...

but the waves' crest,
the coldest wind,
– its armors,
and my sail

won't allow me

They just wouldn't.
just like how I've wanted
to know you
deeper.
psyche Mar 2021
You loved trees
so much
that I even
hang my roofs
on its branches.

That way,
you'd be sheltered
when it rains

in hopes that
you would hear
how all my walls
beat and break
by thy presence.
psyche May 2020
Someone I loved
gave me a gift
wrapped with
an elegant red ribbon

LOVE written on the card

and emptiness inside

it took me years to realize
how precious that gift was
as I learned sending myself
the gifts I truly deserve.
psyche Jan 2022
And so flames
hath turned one to ash
while the other
still fights its light

One begged to live
while the other held to love

Please do enlighten
this wander'ng soul

Who keeps on blaze-
burning herself within
for the one
she once had taken an oath
in flames.
He'll never come back
She knows
But the flame still burns.
psyche Feb 2021
Thought I'd be happy
settling as petals
when flowers bloom
humans would love
but all hands wicked
they pick and let me wither
and so I'm always left
to lament all my deaths.

Thought I'd be happy
living as a vibrant leaf
in winds I sway
to humans I am life
but gravity can't be defied
I had no choice
but to let all go
and so with rocks I'd lay
and learned to take a rest.
Had I've known I was once a seed,
I would have burrowed myself deep within.
That way no force could take away
what I've rooted underneath thy soul.
psyche Sep 2021
I'd never wished for
anything fancy and glittery
and bright
other than a glimpse
of Borealis.

But when a shooting star came,
it made me witnessed
how a single hope
could mean a galactic miracle.

And right there,
when I hoped for nothing
more than a blink of amazement,

my galaxy aligned its stars
to open the universe
I never imagined
I'd be able to see...
through his eyes.
psyche Mar 2018
He said he have known me
more than anyone could.

I believed.

When he asked me
How I am,
I pinned the sweetest smile
I could
as I say
I was fine.

He believed.
psyche Jun 2021
She couldn't say goodbye
so she wrote him her farewell.

He couldn't read her pain
so he left before she packed her suitcase.
psyche Jun 2021
Sun sets
moon rises
clouds cry
stars shine
people come
then they're gone
and life...

well life goes on.
