there are happy endings,
and endings that stand
as beginnings,
but sometimes
there are simply just —
endings.

and i didn't realize how
destructive this love was;
until i found myself missing
all my parts just to make you
complete

i write short poetries,
because I am so tired
of keeping these feelings for so long.

your love bled
just like the pen did
everytime it tried
to fill in the empty pages;
and just like that
it ended just the same.
for all that was
left now were stories.
and only the stories remained.

cause I'll know -

at this point,
i just want
to sleep,
and never
wake up.

but life
is an insomnia
that i can never cure,
so i wake up -
barely alive,
but awake.

i just wanted you
to at least respect me enough
to stop pretending that you do.

There will be better days
and everything will turn out
to be okay.
Someday.
Yes, soon it will be.
I know that for sure.

-but for the meantime, it is going to be a very long and painful wait.
Just hold on a little while longer.

oh and I hope you know that
Shi Em Sep 2018
i never truly minded having
these aches
if it were to mean that my
heart was still beating.
i would still prefer this over
most days where I feel like
my soul has been ****** out
of everything.

so at the very least -
thank you for reminding me that
my soul still resides
in this body that you've left
hanging with nothing to bleed
out but words.

but you have a terrible habit
of glancing up at the sky
then looking down fast
as if you were telling yourself
that you had no right
to admire its beauty

but honey,
i knew that I was nothing
more than just your trophy
yet I let myself yearn for something more.
i deserve better than this.

is that no matter how much you wish for it to become a lie, it never will be.
and no, there is not going to be a part two, it is just what it is and what it will forever be, a part of a poetry unfinished.

but you have found a home
in someone else's arms,
and I was nothing but a stopover -
before you found your way back to her.

do not be deceived with the illusion that I've painted;
you'd think I'd be the calm after the storm;
but inside this ball of sunshine,
I am nothing but a raging storm.

and i shall live today
with a more grateful heart,
so that every moment
may turn out to be
the best part.
Inspired from a song called Best Part by one of my favorite band - DAY6.

some love are habits

some love are habits
you try your best to unlearn —
you try your hardest to break away from them
but they end up breaking you in return.
