Heal Me
Elle Jul 2020
"-yes, my whole life is a mess,
and for that, i love myself less,
so do me a favor and wreck me,
and I do hope it makes you happy.
For Pete's sake, just let me die,
you're killing me already with a lie,
you hug me but you had a knife at my back,
so pick up your things and just pack.
Blind me with your love, go on,
turn my dumb heart into stone,
do as you please, anything,
I'd love to see u try, breaking-
breaking me when im already in pieces,
fire every bullet to my skull, no misses,
Satisfy me with your passion,
the art of killing by deception."

The Wait
Elle Mar 2020
He told me to wait,
so i distracted myself
with the simple efforts he gave.

He told me a promise,
to come back
When the flower withers.

I waited for days and days,
the flower withered
but my love didnt.

And then he came back,
holding something
in his hand.

I gave him a smile,
handed the flower
and bid goodbye.

Once upon a time,
I made him a roof
for him to shelter.

But he found something
much more than a roof-
a home that he can shelter, forever.

Forgive Me
Elle Jul 2019
Hello, is somebody there?
Can anyone hear me?
The weight is too heavy to bear.
I just want someone to see.

I've been drowned, not by water.
I can't seem to hear anything.
Not by a quicksand or any other,
But by the voices of suffering.

"No, I'm not like that," one voice protested,
Full of hatred and an inexplicable utter of sadness.
Screaming for the others to stop – it was devastated
Then silence came, but it wasn’t the end of madness.

It was only the beginning, but of what?
Once there was light, it found hope,
But then darkness came, from where I sat,
I could see and do nothing but mope.

The whispers, screams, the loudest came from me
And it wants me to die even if I plea.

Tainted
Elle Jun 2019
bless thy heart,
thy soul of a broken art,
treachery kept them apart.

for the love i seek,
was only a meek,
its proclivity was of a tainted creek.

Hear that noise?
What noise?
That lovely voice.

it's calling me,
but i cannot see,
yet it became my melody.

oh, a tremendous conspiracy,
fooled by the one i held dearly,
the voice - darkness suddenly felt nifty.

and so i shall live,
and so i shall dive,
to a love he had deprived.

when all is well,
no one can tell,
for how badly i fell.

glad, i didn't die,
tho devoured with your lie,
yet, no, you can't make me cry.

Her Legacy
Elle Mar 2019
Pieces by pieces,
she always wishes.
Little by little,
her heart turned brittle.

Stars by stars,
she covers her scars.
Moon by moon,
she fell into a swoon.

Day by day,
she gave away.
Night by night,
she cries at no one's sight.

Sharp by sharp,
she listens to a mournful harp.
Smooth by smooth,
she seeks safety in a booth.

Pride by pride,
she was convey by the tide.
Legacy by legacy,
she loved for all she had, dearly.

The End Game
Elle Mar 2019
One rejection,
Awakened the monsters.
No, they're not heartaches,
It's an old friend, darkness.

They crept in slowly,
Just as you smiled,
Slowly, blocking the light,
They're demons inside.

It's not that easy,
Think of happy thoughts,
And they'll be gone
before you know it.

But no - it doesnt work that way,
"Go, save yourself", is what they say,
As you slowly pick the knife,
And held it tight.

You woke up,
Realizing it's wrong,
But then it wasn't over,
They came back.

"My dear, you've been rejected -
Abandoned, alone, suffering
from the pain you never asked.
Do yourself a favor my child."

Eyes that once had seen the light,
Was now in the depths of murk,
"Maybe they were right", you thought,
"Yes we are", they replied.

Determined, you held the knife,
Like your life depends on it,
And dear, you smiled so sweetly,
Not realizing the tears on your face.

How did you end up like this?
Was it your fault?
Or was it theirs?
Confused, you paused.

Staring at the ceiling,
Your thoughts are blank,
You're feeling nothing,
Yet you're seeing everything.

Why did you end up like this?
Did you do it?
Or they did?
Numbed, you smiled.

You glanced at the knife,
Adoring on what it can do,
Useful in so many ways,
One of that is ending the pain.

When did you became like this?
Do you remember?
Or was it them who does?
Pained, you sobbed.

Hush now, you can't cry,
Keep it to yourself
Or they might wake up
You can't let them know.

Where did it start?
Was it your heart?
Or was it their mind?
Shattered, silently, you cried.

You gave everything-
anything to anyone-
to everyone and what's left
for yourself my child?

Grieving for the things
you did. You were happy,
they were happy, but then,
was it enough to lose thyself?

You are ugly, but they said,
"You're pretty", looking at the mirror,
you seek for the truth, but all you see
Was the bitter reality.

You are skinny, but they opposed,
"You're ****", trying on your jeans,
Trying all your clothes and realized,
You were right, all this time.

You are dumb, but they smiled,
"You're brilliant," endlesly, searching,
the past records of your grades,
Smiled and said, "I am dumb."

You were broken by someone,
Asked them if you're not worthy
to be loved, they said, "You're worth it."
Many came, torned you again and again.

"You were rejected, abandoned,
unloved, isn't that a good reason?
A good reason to say goodbye?
Rest my child," slowly, you held it again.

This is the end, the pain,
It was unbearable,
The heartache,
It was self destructing.

Cold and alone in the room,
You stared at the window,
Smiled genuinely at the moon,
But it never reached your eyes.

Alone in the room,
At 12 midnight,
She turned 20,
yet, she died.

What made her do it?
Was it herself?
Or was it them?
Satisfied, she smiled and closed her eyes.

One, Two, Fall
Elle Mar 2019
The story starts with One,
You gave me a smile,
That cannot be undone.
The story continues with Two,
You promised the stars,
Yet, you were just another meteor too.
The story ended with a Fall,
You left me with a shattered wall,
I cried, but no one can hear my call.

Suicide Art
Elle Mar 2019
I seek nothing,
But security
Yet all that I'm bearing,
Was pure cruelty.
Deceived by you,
I was torn,
Light shine through,
A tragedy was born.
All hail to the one,
Tear me, break me apart,
All hail to the one,
Make me a suicide art.

Her
Elle May 2018
Her
Fire by fire,
Follow thy heart's desire.

Water by water,
Calm the heart that shatter.

Ice by ice,
Cover the heart that lies.

Air by air,
Carry the mask she wears.

Chains
Elle May 2018
In the midst of the night
A rose stands beyond your sight
A beauty that was hidden
But was never forgotten.

Thou captivated,
You must never release it,
For thy beauty has its darkness
A mask full of secrets.

Its chains must not be untangled
For thy beast you will battle
Thou shall not be deceived by its light
For its thorns will take its flight.

Once seen, the vision dwells
It will push you into its wells
Once touched, the beat ends
A death that doesn't take any amends.

Its eye will swallow you into a hole,
Its lips will devour your soul,
The eye tells no lies
Yet the lips will lead you to its wile.

The book you must not open
If so, you will not be forsaken
For danger is the Gemini of beauty
A rose of thorns will always be a misery.

— The End —
