Even superheroes fail

*And most of them
also need saving
- Oct 2016
And now
if they ask me
if I am yours
I still say
Yes

As for you
I still hold you
not in my life
**but in my heart

We were too focused on the uncertainties,  we have forgotten how it felt to be sure.

Give the world your everything
Even if it's not enough for the world

I'm afraid that one day I will no longer remember the way you walk or the way you eat, or the way you write, the way you speak, or the way you tilt your head when you look at me, even the way you make your eyebrows meet. Or how you pull me closer, or hold my hands, or smell my hair, even the way it makes you jokingly wanna puke.

I'm afraid that one day I will no longer remember the taste of your lips, the shape of your face, the smell of your skin, the sound of your voice, the texture of your palms, the places of your scars, or moles, or your calluses.

I'm afraid that one day I will forget everything that matters..
*But the thing I fear the most is having to wake up one day
and feel forgotten.. by you.

But she was never left behind."

my heart wanna do something
that my soul already knew
my heart it's loudly beating
it wants to love anew

but my mind, oh my mind
it kinda always knew,too
that one may entirely commit
yet for now, not you

No matter heavy the world weighs,
I will carry it for you.

You have
silenced my demons;

Now you're one of them
- Apr 2016
And in the end
It's not about how you feel
that matters

It's what you intend to do

Hope but do not expect
Love but do not demand

Move, but do it forward
Visit yesterday, but do not stay

Walk away from the people
who let you go away

*..then don't look back.

You treat her like some problem that you needed to solve when all she needed was for you to accept her.

Some riddles don't need solving.

I heard you bid farewell
without even saying goodbye

& that's how I knew
one could lose love
even without ending it
- Nov 2016
I don't know
if you sleep soundly at night
but in case you don't
hear me out


I only think of one thing
when I can't fall asleep

Make a guess











I hope you think of me,*too.

The good thing about being lost is you have the chance of being found.

She was shattered. But then again, a shattered glass still shows you more reflections than a regular one. Maybe being broken isn't bad after all.

Your words are beautifully crafted
When I hear you speak, I feel home

Then here I am, always stuttering
like pebbles from big boulders, I crumble

I ain't even good enough to finish this poem
- Sep 2016
I could have fought harder
but at the back of my mind
I always knew

that even if I win all the battles
I would lose the war

because the things
I believed that are meant for me
are exactly the things
that would never be mine

You'll always be the dream
that wakes me up at night

The earth is a messy place
and the monsters I fear are familiar faces. But no matter how scary the world is, it's bearable because of you.

You are my courage.

The sparks in his eyes
Reflected mine
Right then
I knew
It was genuine

so this is how it feels
missing two people
at the same time

you

and

myself

what if the sky fell in love with the earth? what if the clouds fell in love with the tip of the mountain and plateaus? maybe it's true that you can love someone even if the only thing you can touch is her facade; even if the only thing you can linger to is her surface.

what if you can love someone even if you've never seen her wholly? maybe you can really fall for someone even if you know you will miss her for life.

And among all various forms of love, the love between the sky and the earth will always stay as a tricky one.. it will never end - because the sky will continue to look after the earth no matter what the winds and the sun and the dirt say - **but it will never start either.

you've been putting yourself last
that's why people
started doing the same

if you won't prioritize yourself,
who will?


PULL YOURSELF TOGETHER
SO PEOPLE CAN PULL YOU UP

That thing that keeps you warm
makes you easier to burn

And that thing that makes you cold
makes it easier for you to breathe

the ringing sound we hear
when everything was silent
became her music

the red spot we see
when everything was pitched black
became the only color she sees

she lived in a world
where nothingness
was everything that surrounded her

she lived in a way
we all called as dying
- Dec 2016
everytime I hear your name
it kills me

I miss you too much
- Dec 2016
she's strong
she's vulnerable
but she never cries
she's nice
she has a lot of friends
she will fight for you
because she cares
she loves too much
she pours so much effort
in making others happy
in hopes of making herself smile too
she's strong
she's tough

to sum it up
she's an angel
with a shotgun


but no,
she's not gonna hurt you



she's fragile
she breaks
but she never shows it
she screams
but she doesn't let you hear it
she dies
but you will see her living
laughing
enjoying
life
as if she truly is




Bang!

Bang!



*(don't be scared,
no one's hurt..

except her)

Baby
Every time i try to complete you
You break me
- Oct 2016
why am i
so afraid
to see you

when i
have already
rehearsed
this day
a million times

maybe i
just can't believe
how quickly
we drifted apart

this time
last week
we were
so full
of life

from that day
forward
we never really
saw
it coming
(or did we)

but we did
we did
we did

*we died

"Five years of friendship, I don't think I have seen you cried."

"I honestly don't remember the last time I cried."

"That's a good thing then?"

"No. My tears are all dried up."

the hard thing is not about deciding whether to leave or to stay; it's having the guts to leave without knowing where to go next.

They will always be
what they already are

He is her constant
She is his always

Yet no matter how lovely
these words sound,
always means a lifetime
and constant means *nothing more

I have been telling myself
"I know my place"

but this place
-
I don't think this place
is where I want to stay

*I'm setting myself free
:)
- Nov 2016
why do i keep doing this
to become and unbecome
at the same time

i want to change
yet i want to be the same
i want to go
yet i want to stay
i keep telling myself to do it
but i always find reasons not to
i keep pushing myself to let go
but i find reasons to hold on


i want to be me
but i don't know who i am
i want to change the world
but i'm the one who needs saving


**here i am screaming
without letting myself be heard

she was not the type of girl who would sing lullabies until you fall asleep

she was the type of girl who would keep you on the edge of your seat.. the reason you cannot fall asleep

You're the handwritten love letter I will always treasure, but will never open again.
- Oct 2016
Like a lion crying for a mouse's rescue
or a caged bird seeking for the sky,
I need you

Like a shore that dries up without the ocean
or the moon longing for the glimpse of the sun,
I miss you

Like a star I spent the night wide awake
searching for the right metaphor to say
but in the end I cannot conclude
for nothing compares
to
how
much
*I love you

I am a newly ironed chiffon dress and you are the stubborn wrinkle around the beaded detail. No matter how hard I try, I can't get rid of you.

You deserve all the good things this life can offer.

I don’t think I’m one of them.
I’m no good thing.
- May 2016
I'm running out of tears
I'm running out of sighs
I don't want to be afraid anymore
yet I don't wanna fight

Thank you for everything
that's making you say sorry
Thank you for giving me so much to remember, sorry for giving you things you regret

Let's not break our usual chains
just to be jailed into a new one

*My love, liberate
- Mar 2017
And no matter how much the world tells me that I am not enough, I won't believe it
Because if I have someone like you
How bad can I be?

You are the rain that comes and goes
and I am the girl in the yellow dress running for shelter, soaking wet and always unready. I didn't bring an umbrella that day. I hardly ever do, little did I know I was meant to bump into you.

You were the storm that wanted everything else to be damaged
but for some reason, you cannot destroy me; I was the little kid  enjoying the storm as I dance to every beat of your thunder's roar

You wanted to be unpredictable so you can startle me, hence you came crashing the sky in broad daylight, but that too did not catch me off guard

You are the rain that comes and goes and I am the girl that stood still

She makes everyone feel a whole spectrum of colors, too bad he's color blind.
