You are heading right

You don't understand
Cause the second part
     Is not your life
Luna Jay Mar 2019
I stood and watched
The final sunset
As the world was ending.
Light that once
Would fall is now
Ascending.
And blending its way
Into the crevices
Of my cracking lips.
I’m sinking ships
And burning down
All of my bridges-
Ripping out all of my stitches.
Counting down all of my wishes
That always refused to silence themselves.
It’s slipping away-
The words,
The memories… the smells.
They try to stay
But they melt away.
I’m clawing my way
Back into the descendants of humanity.

loving me was eating glass
and living for the aftertaste

your favourite track played twice as fast
as if there was no time to waste

you got there first
i got there late

so now it's twice as complicat-ed .
feel like its unfinished but i guess that's unfinished business for you

why am i so dramatic lol help

Reverse the growth of my upbringing roots
Start back to before the coming of one’s brutes
Let me put my clock's time backwards
I want to not have to take any more steps forwards
Fall we shall into a recurring pit
Mistakes allowed to have never been hit
Please grant permission to uncross the strings of time
Now all will be about to make a new outcome in their prime
Got this idea from Bleach's "Turn Back the Pendulum", though not about the events in that manga arc itself, but on the title's showing on going back to your yomger years...in my poem's case, going back to start over and prevent stuff. Btw...HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!

I hate life,
The major lie that I'm dealing with now is,
That everything is fine,
Soon I began to realize,
Everything is falling apart,
And the following is not the truth:
I love life.
Read from top to bottom, then from bottom to top. These are hard to create. Sometimes I have those days where I think forwards and sometimes I have those days where I think backwards. Just depends...

I have finally given up on you
It hurts me more than you think it does
No point in looking backwards
I tried everything to save our love
It takes two trying for love to work

i hate myself/
and thats why/
im not living inside of my body/
im living inside my brain/
my heart is cold and hard because/
you never touch me with kindness/
you always hold my fragile body with hostility/
my weak body drapes pathetically over your arm/
i melt/
you always charm me and thats why/
i’m crying/
you lied to me/
im stuck wondering who killed me only to find that/
im looking in a mirror/
covered in blood/
after reading it forwards read it line by line backwards. idk i wanted to try my hand at it
edit: this.. doesn’t work on mobile so i added forward slashes to indicate the end of a line
