Pass me the vase, will you dear
I've picked some flowers to place in it
They are purple, yellow, white and red
Don't they just make you smile

I will place them by your bed
So when you retire for the night
You won't miss the beauty
That's painted on their faces

Take a moment, will you
To appreciate their worth
Lean in close and take a sniff
Their fragrance is most genuine

And as you wake, remember
I've placed those flowers there
For you to enjoy and adore
If only for a season
What I want is to have
self love
poured into me,
filled to the brim.
Let it pour
even more.
Doused.
Overflowed.
Let.

No such thing as too much self love
when you've spent most of your life
drowning in self loathe

kiss me
until i can no longer
feel the pull of gravity
until i am among the stars
then i would pick the stars for you
lay them out in the shape of you
hold me
until i feel your warmth
more than the burn of the sun
i would collect sunshine for you
then you could always stand in the light
i would take your hand from here
and we could walk down a flowery path
ah my new obsession. ong seongwoo! let's debut and hope you walk on a smooth path from now on. ♡

Prey

Every step walked
Takes us farther from home
With every word spoken
We feel more alone

For eternate aeons
Just walking away
No love, consolation
Or freedom or say.

As fickle as smoke,
But a trifling doubt
A whisp in the willows
We silently shout.

The daggers that stab us
The water that drowns
The fire that burns us
And we don't make a sound.

Emotions are trapped
In this blindfolded clutch
We're ***** by our deaths
And can't feel its cold touch

The storm now is mild
But the black clouds still growl
And the stench in the air
Will not go and smells foul.

And yet we march on
While our home moves away
We are blind, we are deaf
And we're stalked by our prey.
Humans are strange creatures.
