I love darkness and night but these days I crave the light.

Her Serene
parthenope Oct 2020
Like a crumbled leaf
She fell.
Losing her color
She cried on.
Unrepairable those damages became.

A complex shape with edges and curves,
Just like the fallen leaf,
She felt the cracks but no one to blame.

The breeze turned into a storm
Piece by piece she fell apart
And when that leaf settled in brownfield with green serene,
Like sunshine and water, he barged in,
Nurturing her back to health.


When he held her close,
Kissing the last wrinkles away,
Her very faded light shone again.

Unfair
parthenope Oct 2020
Cold and dead this night
All these miseries inside,
Alone I fight.
Why is there no one by my side?
Being selfless wasn't worth it
At every step I got kicked,
Hitting rock bottom.
They say karma works well
For me its turned out quite unfair.

Trapped
parthenope Aug 2020
Four walls,
Trapped in deep.
Windows blocked,
Black in ink.
Shadows locked,
Will freedom win?
Dead inside, finally,
The astral body leaves.

Failure and Fear
parthenope Aug 2020
To all those who fear failures,
  What is failure and why do we fear it? Well, according to me, failure is those teachers  in our schools whom we hate because they always teach us in the hard way, making us beg for them to stop and sometimes even curse them for being so bad to us but in the end their lessons are the ones we always remember. We fear failing because we are always taught the ****** up rules of the ****** up society, do this and you'll face humiliation, do that and you'll see yourself down in the pit. It's not our fault because this humiliation, this fear is what we have seen and experienced first hand. I have only one thing to say here, "Ask yourself, 'Why do you give 'the society' the right to hurt yourself by their cruel words?',' Why do you give them the power to laugh at your failures?'" The day you'll take that right from them they will be powerless and you will never be scared of failures and their opinions.

Felt your warmth only in my dreams
and yet i crave your touch so much,
the pain is almost physical.

Deep Slit
parthenope May 2020
Four drops of Carmine.
One for hope,
One for trust,
One for love,
One for guilt.

-parthenope
Carmine is the color of dried blood, the color is sometimes used to represent crime.


Life is real and hoping for something good even if the situation is ****** up, seems naive. Loving and trusting people with our lives then getting back stabbed for materialistic things is the truth.
Accepting our mistakes out loud and expecting the society to give us a forward push instead all we get is taunts and negativity.
In every individual's life there comes a moment where trusting, loving, feeling guilty and even hoping feels like a crime.

This piece is for the person who is trying to be as selfless as they can be and yet is faced with the downfalls. These four drops of carmine- hope,trust,love and guilt are the crimes committed by this person.

The Midnight Scar
parthenope May 2020
It's blur and it's dark!
The halo long gone,
All shadows around me.

Smiling now,
Crying like a mad person then.
Next thing I know
I Scratched myself.

All in all
It's me fading away.
The shadows of past,
The crime of actions,
Deafening silence,
Defining my violent acts.

Looking at the world
I could tell,
I want to fly.
Ready to take the leap of faith,
Scared of the end it could give.

Lights blinking afar,
Looking like diamonds and star,
Getting blurred second by second,
The disablement of my vision,
Clouding my mind.
Left that beautiful creation behind,
And Killed my kind.
