It's easy to  hide in the lines of sentences,

But the hardest part is lying about it.

The longer you keep it, the more painful it will feel.

You're just a click away,

Yet there's a distance between us;

The distance between our hearts.

The closer you are, the farther I feel.

They'll never know how it is.

You'll never know how I feel for you.

The heart screams the words the mouth can't utter.

I'd rather die than see you with another.

But even though I've accepted the fact that we is just I,

It's painful to let it go.

Now you're gone again.
Being happy.

I'm sorry if you read this and you're bothered.

It's long yesterday, a long-running joke, obviously numbing:

"I wish I had the courage to talk to you."
it's painful but it isn't obvious

Ball and chain,
We've spent so much together,
Ball and chain,
We are one after the other.
Ball and chain,
You're a friend than of a lover,
Ball and chain,
You're the friend, I am the lover.

I carry the weight upon my shoulders,
You drag me forward.
I've always felt down;
You'd toss me up.
I follow you wherever you are,
A bond keeps us together,
I don't even know if you would rather;
See us as a ball and chain together.

You drag me constantly,
Am I that much of a burden?
I know you want to release me,
But the lock is a mystery to open;
If you're pestered, then say it!
Why not just tell me to leave?
Why are you letting me ruin your life?
Why are you not giving me the truth?

You were chained to another.
.
.
.
.
.
All those heartaches were real, after all;
To love someone who loves someone else;
Now I know why you never said the truth;
Because you never cared anymore.
I was trapped in a dream,
A dream that is far to happen;
I chose to stay in a hallucination so tame,
It's not all your fault — I am partly to blame.

Ball and chain,
I know it's not real,*
Ball and chain,
But still it hurts to let it go,
Ball and chain,
How fast it goes by,
Ball and chain,
*It's time to say goodbye.

Tell me this
woolgather Sep 2016
Is it that unacceptable for a beast to love,
A creature more majestic than it is?
A creature more accepted than it is?
A creature better than it is?

Is it that ironic that I still want you,
Even though it hurts so much;
So much to just think of you,
And everything good that'll never happen?

Is it that hurtful to love,
Love so much that you can't put anyone above them;
Love so much that you sleep to the thought of them,
Love so much that you can't?

Is it really that easy to let go,
When you hold on so many memories,
When you're inches away yet feel a thousand miles apart,
When you never found out how much you are to them?

What are you going to do
Now that what you've been hiding
Is not short to be revealing
What excuse are you going to throw now?

Pack your bags if you don't want a war
It's gonna be all-out, honey.
Pack that smug face if you don't want a scar
Try to be reasonable if you  don't want to be funny.

Show a little less skin,
Show a little less grin;
Show a little less sin,
Drink a little less aspirin.

Don't be such a clean person
If it's obvious you're not far from rotten;
Don't use too much jargon,
If your grammar you ain't gonna sharpen.

Cut the chase, say the truth!
Leave the paint and leave it bare!
You're nothing but anyone uncouth;
Gaze upon my uneasy stare!

Don't paint crows white,
Don't paint roses blue,
Don't paint wrongs right,
Don't cover up what's true!

Alas, it has come.
The day you've been hiding from.
Too bad, the damage is done;
**Too bad you have nowhere to run.
A corpse will still stench even if you hide it in a flower field

Keep it Down
woolgather Aug 2016
Once was a baby that bawled his eyes out
Shush - keep it down!
Once was a boy teased so much he wanted to die
Shush - keep it down!
Once was a boy tied down by his brethren for being who he wanted
Shush - keep it down!
Once was a boy who screamed at the top of his lungs;
"I want to be free!"
Shush! - keep it down!

Once that boy grew stronger
We don't care - just keep it down!
That boy grew wings and flew his highest
We don't care - just keep it down!
Once that boy walked the path they wanted him to
We don't care - just keep it down!
That boy wrote his pain down black ink;
He sung words that just came from his mind
We don't care - just keep it down!

Once that boy grew tired of trying
So what? - keep it down!
That boy always found himself crying
So what? - keep it down!
Once that boy saw his heart breaking;
With it, his world shattering
So what? - keep it down!
That boy found himself dying
So what? - keep it down!

Not long after, a casket was borne
Wait, what happened to him?
His face covered, his body crippled
Oh my, how terrible!
People grieved his absence;
Absence that would last eternally
From a distance he whispered to them:

When all that's left of me are placeholders and labels,
Will you still look at me the same?
When all I've held on chooses to let me go,
Will you lend me your hand?
When everyone turns their backs,
Would you choose to stay beside me?
When I take my last breath,
Would you see me go?

Chasing attention,
I ache for the praise;
Chastise me for all I care,
The truth never ached for me.

Why do I dream of getting the medal,
When familiarity already won;
Say something nice for once,
Get dismissed a hundred times.

Some say I do good,
Some say It's too shallow;
Try to put yourself in my shoes;
Let's see if you run home sane.

Never ending philosophies,
Infinite judgments,
Running around in circles,
I guess the system has no breaks.

Fall from the podium,
Under the two minutes of your speech;
Close your mouth for once and listen!
Knowing everything is not knowing all things right!

Don't worry, you won't see me for long,
I'll excuse my pathetic self from your presence,
Besides, you'd like it better if I'm deteriorated, right?

Sitting in front of a screen,
Empty rooms, empty voices
Writing again words like always
Hiding pain in the pixels.
My soul is with me,
Yet my soul is very distant;
Everyday faces, steady paces;
Inescapable vices, real faces
Yet, again, as empty as before.
The more I sink myself in,
The more I drown in my own sea.
I can't fathom being the backdrop to your main roles
So I try to pass the course to be just like you.
No matter how many scars I get from your stares,
No matter how many bruises I get from your words.
But it hurts!
I can't do it anymore!
But still what do I do everyday?
This!
The cuts grow deeper!
The bruises grow larger!
I should be used to it already,
But the more I stay the more I perish!
What choice do I have?
Being truthful would be a sin.
Call me an attention ***** all you like!
'Cause I wouldn't listen to your lies, anyway.
I want to smile real for once.
I want to see if there are some like me,
Even just one.
I want to shout at the top of my lungs,
Even if you cage my voice.
I really want to reach out and grab your hands,
*But, there's nothing to hold on in the first place.
I hold yet I don't
I can't do it

I try my best to ignore you,
Yet, here I am, this poem's for you.
I look away when I'm around you,
But I guess you do the same, too.

Ever since we met you struck me;
Whenever you're around, I'm happy,
Yet when you're around I feel awful,
As if what comes next is always terrible.

I see you as a something else,
For you I'm just a statistic.
I know I'll never be a somebody else,
Even so, my heart starts to panic.

Yes, I'll admit it: I'm still in love with you,
Though, still would be just as false,
I never stopped loving you,
Although you never felt it because I am too scared.

And yet here I am, trying to write something,
And yet here I am, expecting,
Though I have always known that it'll be nothing,
At least my hope's still standing.

Euphemism won't hide my message,
Please read between the lines;
I love you, and I'll never change;
I love you, and that's my promise.
I don't care if you ***** from reading "I love you" too much

I don't know why I always liked to see you smile,
I don't know why I'm affected when you're sad;
I don't know why I still have my ties knotted with you.
It's clear to me that Us will never be,
It's almost common sense that we won't;
But still, there's that hope that you'll see me through,
Still, there's that chance that you'll understand me.
Even though I know that that chance is too far to reach,
So like the stars that shine above us, I'll be fine in seeing you from afar,
*Until I can't see your shimmer anymore.

A Living Eulogy
woolgather Aug 2016
Fire erupts from the dark abyss,
Scorching frost felt head to toe;
Visions blur, joy subsides
as the paper boat is thrashed by harsh sea.

The sun never shone anymore;
Life is black and none but rain pour;
I stumble down to see me crying,
I see me bleed, I see me dying.

Beasts of one fur tread together,
A prey always suffers the fate too cyclical;
The prey is prey as fate says so:
A cruel mother yet nor so catastrophic.

Heed me, Oh! O kindest Death;
Take me under your *****!
Let me Live my paradise of sorrow!
Rid me from this hell of reality!

That would be much over nothing;

I know you'll never be perfect,

You'd say that you're fine.

Your arms' been bruising,
Your sadness you've been hiding,
I can't stand to see you dying.

You've thought you've seen the last
Oh, your wall's been collapsing,
You took the breath that was your last.

Silly boy,
Now that you've been defeated,
Silly boy,
Now we know it's not all on your head
Instead of love that should be coming,
It was blood that poured out, bleeding,
Silly boy,
I wish I could save you,
But the damage has been dealt.

Good does nothing if you're drowning;
Hell felt colder than ever before,
Taking me down to the deep abyss;
High above the cliffside, I see you there,

So near to Oblivion, so far from the shore;

I never said we didn't fly.

I'm sorry if you'd feel offended,
It's my fault that you're tormented,
Our bond became distorted,
Our spark abruptly ended.

You never said that four-letter word,
Neither did I, but from another, you've heard,
My heart of paper suddenly burned;
I know I've left you quite disturbed.

I wrote these words without the tears;
I've ran out of them, thinking of the fears;
The fears that left me stumbling here,
That what little love will suddenly sear.

My heart feels cold;
I've got no one to hold;
Our emptiness will mold;
In my heart, numbness, behold.

This words will stream endlessly,
So I'd cut my pen abruptly;

It's fine cause you're left happy.

I'd wish I'd grown a pair of wings,
So I could soar the world swiftly,
I'd wish I'd grown a pair of wings,
So I can see all, even far from what I see.

I'd soar up high beyond the skies,
I would take you with me;
I'd lay upon the cotton clouds;
As we'd talk and ponder dearly.

I'd wish I had a heart of gold,
To be right for that heart of yours.
I'd wish I'd had a heart of gold,
So I'd not see the worldly horrors.



















But Cloud 9 suddenly crumbled apart;
Taking us with it,
We'd be saved alive, but distant;
Conjuring nothing sane but explicit.



















You've changed all that much;
I'm not sure if it's for good.
I saw you change but happier,
I guess I'd let not myself protrude.

The sky grew suddenly darker,
Blue turns to ashes;
I'd be changed by our memories,
Oh wait — your deceit.

I'd wish I'd grown a pair of wings,
Now I know it'll never come;
To see all, feel all, know all,
Even what I thought we would inevitably be.

I'd wish I had a golden heart,
Even though mine's always been rotten,
I'd be happy, though I'd never soar,
*Watching you fly with another angel.

If you'd look down on your body
And see only bruises and scars
You're not alone, don't worry,
You're not the only shooting star.

I've not painted myself,
With things as black as yours;
But, mind you, I've been as dark as thyself,
And I've been in too many horrors.

I've not blame you for the blade you've held,
But I feel your grief, and this I'd tell;
I've felt it before, your feelings compelled,
In a sea of regret, from cloud 9 you fell.

I've tried many times to drown my sorrow,
And watch blood of innocence drip through unwelcome wound,
And rise, another day, not as hollow,
And plaster a smile as if I'm not doomed.

Today, I regret ever letting my demons run
Even though they'd pushed me to write;
I'd say to you "Be strong! Bask another sun!"
And let your demons help you in the fight!

Just know that one even from across the oceans,
Would like to see you stand;
Would like to see you trump your omens
And lend a helping hand.

If you'd be switched over,
I'd help you back up again.
Even if I can't go sooner or later,
At least with the words that came from my pen.

I hope you'd read this,
Even out of the boon,
Even if you'd not find bliss,
**Together, let's sing our battle tune!
I hope you couldread this, Ronin Okami. Stay strong, dude

I once knew a man
Whom I'd see everyday
And I'd swear he'd love all and hate not even one.
And I'd swear he'd always smile through the day.

He'd be joyful and kind,
Handsome and smart
He'd let no one fall behind,
He'd let everyone take part.

How could a man so perfect,
Feel so insecure?
As to torture himself with pain and regret,
To poison himself that "nothing is the cure"?

I once knew a man
Whom I'd see everyday
Who'd see the goodness in all, though not an academian,
Who'd let nobody alone to enter the fray.

How could a man so perfect,
Feel bad about himself?
To torture himself with pain and neglect,
To put his big heart on the shelf?

I once knew a man
Whom I'd see everyday,
No one thought he'd be a madman,
No one thought he'd never want to stay.

How could a man so perfect,
Doubt himself so bad?
As for him, his emotions, adject,
Seeing himself, a terrible lad?

























I once knew a man
Whom I'd see when he goes past,
No one knew who ruined his fun,
Sadly he took the breath that was his last.

He may be joyful and kind,
Handsome and smart,
But he'd let his tears slide,
And break his big, big heart.

He wrote some notes to leave:
"Sorry I didn't tell"
"But I just felt so bad, I just couldn't live."
"Sorry I didn't tell"

And to the one who'd be reading my letter,
Who feels the way I do;
I'd know everything would be better,
Please don't give up on you.

I've known of the man called Freedom,
His eyes pristine and his hands of good gesture,
He gave to all he ever saw,
Even those who wished he'd be dead.
You see, Freedom is a nice man,
He had given us the chance to be one,
Yet some see him as a hindrance,
That he'd be the one to cut the bridge to their horrid ambition.
It's true Hell's already empty,
The Devils are already here!
And they'd tied Freedom to the podium!
And they'd ready their  flames and *****!
"Witness! As this hell of a saint be exposed before your very eyes!"
The Demons wailed and shouted.
"Light the flames! Expose his treacheries!"
As the demons hissed and the ***** lighted.













Freedom speaks.











Friends, my brothers, people of all brethren,
Ramble not, for I shall tell you truth.
Ebb is the fierceness you encounter,
End is the beginning of your hate.
Dawned to me, you have lost your innocence,
On the edge of light and darkness;
Mourning am I to you all.

Never the same are your reasons to fight,
Earnest are you to your reasons,
Vague, yet, are your answers.
Earthbound will be your rationality,
Revolving in wrong, your right.

Demonstrate not crudeness, but kindness,
Ice the hatred and let the good burn within you.
Enough of the foul that has come to be,
Sing the words that are your harmony.













All is silenced.

















Freedom opens his eyes.
The flames, gone.
The hissing, deafened.





















Freedom, is you.
The shots have been fired. Liberation will not be silenced.

Catcalling Terror
woolgather Jul 2016
Rest upon your chamber,
Fall down to haunting slumber;
Rise not to see the light of day,
But the last moments before the darkness'd decay.

A cold enough to freeze me whole,
Yet not rival the breeze of the winter Fool,
Chill me down to my spine,
Take from me what's near but never mine.

The icy winds won't soon fade,
Yet one can best it, the heat that I've made;
The heat of brethren's fissures and turmoil,
A fight within the mother soil .

What is he is never I,
What his damnation is far from my madness by;
He sought to give justice that he is a Father,
He can't even calm a raging child and a crying mother.

These words aren't meant to be spoken,
If it was, then it wouldn't have been written;
Alas, a naive child retires again,
*With his horns half kept and his words half spoken.
A lone flower in a bed of thorns and bodies

Blue Hearted-Buffoon

I once admired a person,
So much I wanted me to change;
So much I wanted to destroy who I am,
Just to be somewhat compatible.

Then I thought:

My head's more messed up thinking about escaping,
Than being messed up thinking about you being mine.

So I had nothing to lose and gain;

*I returned to tightening the noose of reality to love.
Hurt me baby

You'd think those words don't matter
You'd say I'd never falter
You'd say I'd be fine
After a mouthful of painful lines
You'd thought I'd stand unscathed
You'd thought my head won't spin around
You'd think nothing would matter to me
Rollcall: you'd better know it'd be
I'd be silenced by judgements one after the other
I'd be pushed to my edge so you'd see me fail
You'd say that it would not come to me
But honey it already did
And it's already staining me
And it's already plaguing me
And it's already killing me
Read my **** I dare you
Ask me why'd there's no end to my sentences
Cause that'd be what you do
Cyclical and pointless
Talk your ****, honey
The only **** you'd get is from my ***

Blah blah blah
woolgather Jun 2016
Jumpstart my engine with flowery words,
Manipulate me once again,
Fool me to thinking I'm nobody,
Just so you could chastise my works with black pen.

If you'd wonder how I'd write horribly,
Look no further than to see yourself!
I write because I am inspired of your decaying,
You're the bad one on the shelf!

My words make no sense? Ha!
Of course it'll never come to you!
But, I don't understand;
You'll never understand what's true!

You'd be pleased to see me suffer,
Don't be shocked if I do enjoy yours, too;
I'd be ****** to hear you whisper:
You'd always been my waterloo.

I'd better be your waterloo!
You'll never tame the demon in me!
The demon you created;
Rotting me rapidly!

So go tell everybody you were right:
That I am a ****-up;
But, truth be told,
*I'd like it more if you'd shut up.
I'm out of inspiration, care to tell me anything I could write about?

Away
woolgather Jun 2016
What a naive boy;
Born not of royalty,
Born not of peasantry.
Standing in a podium of censures,
In front of a thousand "acquaintances".
Too scared to say something wrong;
Too scared to move by his will.
He is bent by what they want him to be;
Restricted to become a cyclical mind.
Yet, he rebels their laws,
He became secretive.
He hides under the cloak of a dead man.
He sees the world black and white.
He becomes dead.
Yet, one becomes a catalyst;
Making his heart beat lively;
Making his stomach filled with butterflies;
Making his head flutter with thoughts.
He'd wish that one understand,
Yet so close, yet very distant.
He was too weak to speak his heart;
The catalyst favored another.
He is lost.
He is dying once more.
His heart loses rhythm.
His stomach churns.
His eyes dim and close.



In his dreams, he sees,
He dances,
With the catalyst.















**Too bad he's too weak.
Too weak to fight, too strong to yield

I'd see them laugh, I cry.
They'd see me happy, they'd despise.
Suffocate the truth with your lies.
Deafen with your murmurs my cries.
You'd say we're all equal,
You'd say we're all fair,
Yet I can see the horns in your halo.
With one is privilege,
To the other is plummeting demotions,
I seem to end up lying down in the ground.
Try and say your **** one more time,
**I'd not be dumbfounded with your flowering words.
It seems I am no better than a filthy rug to step on

Don't fret if heaven has her now.
Don't be saddened that she isn't around anymore.
Instead, be happy she's in a better place;
Won't she like seeing you sad?

It's true that life may be a cruel thief,
Stealing everything and everyone we love,
But none in this is world is ever so perfect;
We all will feel that way one day.

They'd say Hell's empty,
Since all of the demons are roaming around.
It's true, indeed;
Yet for a reason, it is so.

Never be rash to those with blackened hearts,
Never be rash to life that caused you to suffer,
Never be rash to doubt the faith you hold on to;
Everything happens for a reason.

Think of it this way:
She has fulfilled her duties,
She has fought valiantly for every second of her time;
She, has been a warrior.

Chastise me for not feeling this way before,
I simply speak what my mind and heart shouts.
I may be from the other side of the world;
**But I'm still just a person comforting another.
My condolences. I may not know you, but I do hope you could read this, Brian McKay.

I once met a man who thought everything could go his way;
I said to him: Life's not your personalized story book!
And so he slumped down and decayed the rest of his history.

Painstaking Love
woolgather Jun 2016
I'd always end up the same,
Seeing you with a smile,
While breaking my heart in more than half.
I'd always be silent whenever you're around,
I'd always shift my eyes to other things,
Failing immensely.
I'd cry when nobody's around,
Because I'd know that it'd never be true,
The thought of me and you.
I'd want you to be the one to hold hands with me,
But I'd know you'll do that with somebody else,
Somebody much better than me.
Yes, you've left my heart to ruin,
Yet I'd still not go,
Yet I'd still not give up the impossible.
You can love who you want,
*Just let me love you.
To the person I love so much I can't let go even if they love another

Time's against me, it seems,
Ill would be my future.
Chasing after an unseen oracle,
Knowing all abides this law.

Time's a two-faced man,
Obfuscating yet illuminating.
Chasing day after day,
Knowledge can do none to stop him.

Blank Stare 2
woolgather Jun 2016
The blue sky condemns the pitch-black sadness of isolation and regret,
No salvation can save me from my madness,
No happiness can take me from my sadness.
When the water rides the sea, none is felt but grief.
Lest the bird cannot swim the ocean as he desires,
Only Death can avail to his desires.
Demons deserve no retribution,
As one rotten is not privileged his wish,
In death he is greeted with empty bliss.
Written as the bird in the cage favors the other's

Blank Stare

The Silence speaks many words.
The Silence speaks many thoughts.
Not all rambles are made with mouths,
Not all cries are made with tears;
As not all pain are cauterized wounds.
Silence bears the ghost you try so hard to forget.
Silence holds forsaken memories.
Silence creeps upon and haunts us;
The Silence knows no exceptions.

Preying Hope
woolgather Jun 2016
Take me far away
Let me forget what I love to remember;
Take me to a path lead astray
Let me feel the churning of dread and terror;
Smash this gigantic heart to pieces
Let the love I give be crumbled;
Sew again those wretched faces
Let yourself again be trampled;

I can't breathe

I can't breathe

Suffocate me with your gentle hands;

I can't sleep

I can't sleep

Label my nightmare with unusual brands;

I'm sick and tired of carrying this heart
Too soft to ever not fall in love;
I take things so hard that I fall apart
Clip the wings off the pristine dove;
Hiding my thoughts in letters and words
Hiding my thoughts in lines and verses,
Hiding my love though more than words
Hiding my love through curses.

I can't feel

I can't feel

Wound myself to see if it better be;

I can't flee

I can't flee

**To see if it better be a cruel reality.
I want somebody to talk to but my head says otherwise

Shame
woolgather Jun 2016
Poor little sullen boy,
Too old to play with his sullen toys,
Everyone thinks you're harmless,
Treating you sick and senseless.
Poor kid always took jokes,
Stabs more than they are pokes,
Can't look anymore in the mirror,
Can't stand to see and hear the horror.
Get the knife that uncle brought home,
Cut that horible stomach-dome,
Cut a smile on my pale lips,
Let blood drip on my fingertips.
Feel still that I am not offended
Realize too late to have me tormented;
Laugh at me with all your ideals
Don't see me cry with my ordeals.
Get the knife that uncle brought home,
Cut that horrible stomach-dome,
Now see in me that perfection is pain,
Now see in me that acceptance is vain.

Mechanisms in my Head
woolgather Jun 2016
Not under midnight, not over morning,
Under a roof, as it seems to be.
Theoretically flailing words in a keyboard,
Sitting within four concrete walls.
Blotting out nonsense,
On hopes of creating sense.
Laminating ideas in invisible walls,
Thoughts thought to be relevant,
Stapled to nothing, becoming nothing.
Alluring ideas of randomness,
Netting creativity away,
Dancing in no rhythm.
Closed is not my mind,
Or the thoughts that come in,
Gyrating is my head,
Spinning weaves of cluttered madness.
Thoughts I have 4:32 in the morning
