a single red rose
bleeding petals in the wind
crimson tears in flight
Senryu
Kiss these ink stained hands
and I’ll kiss the scars on yours.
We’ll find light to chase.
Whenever it’s time,
remember to let them in.
Slowly and softly.
We learn to pretend
so that the cracks in our hearts
aren’t sad— but vintage.

You are not broken
and I don’t need to fix you,
always remember.

I was the second choice and the safe bet
never your first.
this applies to life or love.

When I was so confused on what to do,
where were you?

When I was so **** broken,
where were you?

When I was so sad,
where were you?

I guess I was so **** independent
that you didn't see
I needed someone for me
who will say,
you'll be okay,
it will be fine,
life is just built that way
for you to learn
and adapt.
Well, good news,
i learn it that way...
So I was okay.
I grow up good
and well adapted...

Now that I've think about it,
nobody has really gone deeper
to my "I'm okay, I'm good.".
No one bothers really,
they take my silences
as fine I guess...

big sigh...


I wish I could say this to my family, that I'm struggling despite my happy persona. But really I could not tell them, I don't want them to worry.
