Uncrowned King Jul 2023
She has a touch of innocence in her
The kind you don't see quite often

In this world full of pretense
She's the only thing that is true

The troubles she has been through
Just to build these high walls around her

So instead of me crashing down on her
I'm here, to help her reinforce this barrier

Make it more comfortable
Give it more strength

Accompany her whenever she ever feels out of place
But allowing her to feel secure

Considering my heart will also break
If she ever put her heart at stake

I'd like to take her away
But being inside this fort

Is also the safest I can be
Uncrowned King May 2023
She said, "You're safe with me",
and I replied, "As I should be."

I abandoned my armor,
have furloughed my sorrow

Thinking maybe, "this is it."
I kept stealing glimpses of you

Your eyes were glimmering of intense allurement
While your lips turn into a waxing crescent.

Deflected all of my contradictions,
Turning you as my self-acclaimed addiction

I then went to war against my heart,
Almost bled to death too bad it's not my time yet

As I navigate through the fogginess of my mind
I realized that it's the darkness that kills the blind

I left it all out in the dark
And now we're left again to find a new spark

My little umbrella
You kept me dry from the rain
But you don't how much I adore them

My little umbrella
You kept me shaded from the sun
But you don't know how much I enjoy the burn

My little umbrella
You got tired of waiting for me
But you don't know how much I was uncovering too

My little umbrella
You went away when the night came
But you don't know how much I love your presence

My little umbrella
You're never coming back, aren't you?
But I never got the chance to tell you how much I feel for you

My little umbrella
You were all the things that I was looking for
But I'm sorry if I couldn't see through

As I stare to the unascertained
Your face, still tainted on my brain
With the music you've left
Made wretchedness out of the Astaire

Repressed by all the madness
Crippled to take a step to have this dance
This new-found glory
Made us just all weary

They all shouted my name with honor
Synonymously with hatred
And as I have said, I've tried
They took a deep breath, and deflated with a roaring sigh

What is intention without emotion?
A self-fulfilling satisfaction?
A denial of ones true purpose?
Could be just another deception

A beautiful performance
A pretentious guilt
I was never a dancer
But you've always been a believer

I did all this just to save you from the fall
Course of action
Uncrowned King Feb 2023
The light has become dimmer
It feels like it's going away

No. It's going far away.
Away from all the noise

From the dark,
looking for another spark

because this light is smart,
it won't be consumed by nonsense

You're a fool to fall for it's likeness--
It strives beyond darkness

The warmth it omits
will only be given if it permits

I was lucky to have touched
Its ultraviolet C rays

It burned for a while
but the pain was pleasing

Until I felt nothing
because it's gone.

Maybe, the light is pessimistic?
It has its own flaws.

or rather,
damaged from it's own thoughts

Could be from the past?
from other bodies?

It hides a void that has amassed.

I wasn't looking,
The doors were closed,

The windows were latched,
Everything was cinched by a belt

But still,
You came in

Slipping through the cracks of my heart
Binding my soul—

With all that you are,
With all that I'm not.

Making me feel that I'm whole again
Uncrowned King Dec 2022
You are authentic
and classical

You disguised your emotions in symphony
Hoping maybe someone can hear it;

I do.

However, I'm startled
As my frequency tend to be deranged

I'm afraid that I may damage your tune—
you may end up abandoning me so soon

And leaving my hymn in the blues.

Your voice will always resonate with me
Almost like an opera that's also in acapella

A peculiar interpretation,
These feelings are just demented.

Moonstrucked by your lullabies,
The way you orchestrate my senses

It makes my heart flutter, I despise it.
