when our stories begin to drip in polychromatic hues,
I long to have a decent epilogue for this story of two;

if this is a goodbye,
I wish our end with a smile and not with tears in our eyes

if this is a goodbye,
I hope at the forked road we part, we both learn how to get by

if this is a goodbye,
I long to preserve the good old memories and not let them die

if this is a goodbye,
I sincerely, and deeply hope everything we had is not a lie.

bittersweet depresso

running out of my favorite coffee
on such a fine evening to work and write poetry,
without a hot mug beside, it feels incomplete in all honesty,
went for some decaf, apologies, my taste does not really fancy

so much is said in the unsaid

I itch to find the right words,
so as not to come off all messy and absurd
yet a lot of oppositions exist even before a word or two
all these words remain unsaid just as how it used to;
reserve your wit,
reserve your advice,
reserve all your chaos,
because sometimes words come off as swords
when all emotions and thoughts come off unfathomed and cluttered.

empty poetry

a crafted line or two of these random words
becomes nothing but mere, effortlessly made records
of vague emotions, of untold chaos sitting still inside
maybe so much could still be written as I long for this heaviness to subside

on sleepless nights

when I think I'm alright,
I still need some pills or a song
to get me through the night
trying to forget how to feel about what went wrong

maybe sometimes it's better to lay sleepless
than drift myself to sleep and wake up hopeless

the empirical & theoretical us

we hold our mind and heart
of such a time-made empirical value
we loved, and we lost, where do we restart?
sweet paradox, maybe it's a theoretical us down to "me & you"

seams

underneath the seams of fate,
tell me, which do you regret more;
the day you met me?
or the day you left?

A thought-provoking question from my friend that I'm currently thinking of.
