You, you and you.
Özcan Mermaid Apr 2015
In fact, it was about you. It always is; it always was, always will be.
I told you that it wasn't about you. I lied, it was about you; it always was, it always will be.
Özcan Mermaid Apr 2015
As sleepless thoughts savage,
the devil whispers into my ears,
softly triggering,
resonating melancholy,
the moan of a creature known to be depraved
and sinister,
soon becomes the lilt of an angel
who was once unfortunate
and misunderstood.
he calls me religiously and persistently,
captivating and lurring me,
to a side that has a melody; unknowingly *unholy.

Pain amongst pines
Özcan Mermaid Apr 2015
I dig my nails into my skin,
wanting to feel something that is deep within,
but nothing is ever enough,
and I never seem to win;

I pour a glass of wine;
and sniff amongst the vines,
sensing the scents of a million heartbreaks,
that were only ever mine.

Fool's Gold
Özcan Mermaid Apr 2015

Numb

God's Time
Özcan Mermaid Apr 2015
Of all the things that I could wish and hope for,
I prayed to a god who I doubt and disappoint;
begging for him to take me back in time,
just so that I could unmeet you... for one last time,
frankly, there isn't much that I wouldn't do,
for this to all become true.

Satin Lips
Özcan Mermaid Mar 2015
The thought of my lips against yours are like soft satin plumped cushions that slowly press against each other;

and elevating,
yearning for more.

Waves
Özcan Mermaid Dec 2014
Missing you

The Ocean
Özcan Mermaid Dec 2014
Like the ocean; I am both mesmerised
and frightened by you.

sink.

Glass Souls
Özcan Mermaid Dec 2014
My glass is empty,
my heart is full.
I drink away the feelings that conquer all.
The spirits inside burn
my soul,
and soak the thoughts
of how I fall.
I wrote this one night whilst intoxicated; thinking about you. I noticed the emptiness of my glass and the fullness of my heart. And how the more I drank; the more I felt. So empty yet so full, of confusion and doubt.

May in December
Özcan Mermaid May 2014
I pity that day;
that cold, gloomy day.
In that month of December,
where my heart was in its May.
Blossomed and warm;
you were my spring right away.
I still remember that day...
Like it was just yesterday.

Hidden Sorrows
Özcan Mermaid Nov 2013
She lost herself in her sadness and drowned sorely in her tears.
Emotions flooding;
shivers down her spine,
freezing into the depth of her bones,
Hurting. She hides... Like the moon behind the sun;
aches and sorrow behind her smile.

Anaemic Heart
Özcan Mermaid Oct 2013
Your heart belongs to me,
I clench to it; in the palm of my pale cold, hands.
I feel myself holding onto something that is not mine,
and will never be. (I let go.)  
My mind floods with unanswered questions;
suffocating... I gasp; struggling to breathe.
Why must you cause me so much misery and pain? Yet I find myself doing the same.

— The End —
