silence used to wrap me like a warm embrace
it made me feel at ease
just me, the four corners of my room, and Lana del Rey

ghosts inside my head emerged like a sunrise at night
tears and silent screams only the sleepless, the lost, and the grieved could hear
pen and paper were my sword and shield, carving my battles into words
and a silver steel for my wrist to escape

years drifted by; silence lost its embrace and was no longer a refuge
being alone these days now feels cold and gray, a reminder that you're not here with me
Lana’s soft echoes faded so slightly

And finally, the ghosts took their flight,
And finally, whispers once haunting are now bathed in light.
And finally, no more silver steel, just a bracelet to cover
And finally, just golden days and lighter air.

I left, again
I had to
So I could no longer crush you
You were so sure
And I was trapped with my what if’s
Maybe we are never really meant to be
Maybe this is how it works for you & me
I wanted to stay
But timing doesn’t want me to
God sure has better plans for us
But not today, not tomorrow
In another life? Maybe

why am I writing sad poems about you?
when all I know is I am nothing to you

why do you make me feel bad?
all I want is for you to not feel sad

i dreamed about you last night
holding my hand so **** tight

you were driving so fast
and we were singing under the pale moonlight

i was crying and so were you
not wanting to let each other go

but how unfortunate are we?
that the thought of you and me, even destiny doesn’t agree.

please,
don’t tell me u love me when it’s too late
don’t tell me u need me when i’m no longer here
don’t tell me u care for me when i can no longer hear
&
don’t tell me all of these when i can no longer feel

Look at her smile
We don’t even know what she feels inside
Look at her laugh
She seems happy but it’s a bluff
Look at her eyes
It’s sparking like she doesn’t cut
Look at her wrist
You’ll see what u don’t know yet
Look at her body, so skinny
Because if she eats a lot, it affects the illnes in her kidney (stop body shaming!!)

Have you seen her cry?
Blaming herself for being a nobody

She is a failure, but tries her best to make you proud
She isn’t the most intelligent, but she tries her best even if she bleeds.

I am her & She is me.

YOU
It's 12 am & i can't sleep
You are beside me & i can hear ur heart beat
Your hand, it fits perfectly with mine
Can u see what's on my mind?

I found real happiness in you,
& your heartbeat is telling me you feel the same way too
God is so amazing,
Cos he gave me you, a blessing

Life with you is never boring
Although you are so **** ANNOYING
You’re so clingy and sweet
I no longer need chocolates

It’s been 2 years & you still never fail to show your love
God, how much I love this life
Thank you for this angel you sent from above

— The End —
