Chiriqué Mar 2021
Paper thin her skin
Marked with the red of regret
Stained in its place so she'll never forget ,
If not from hands than from words .
For all she knows is exposing her hurt ,
To those who believe not in words .
For when no leaves her mouth
And his face turns to irritation.
The reality of the situation
Brings her back to life and her skin ignites
Remembering it's fight
Then no turns to yes
As she slowly undresses
Exposing her messes
Hoping he'd stay
Even after she put her hurt on display
But they never do
For when morning comes and all is done
The coffee brews for no one
And when the birds come to chirp
The noise drowns out her calls of disgust
The only hope leaving her gut
For in the end its plain to see broken girls are never invited for afternoon tea

She was fed by the cold winter
Embraced by the solemnity of Christmas
Held high praises for few coins;
Love is an art and she's an empty canvass.

Virile man in between her surge warmth
First love, first apprehension
She was a sophomore at hurt
Tears wont last at eyes, although she cried.

Lips with wounds, sinewy expectations
Stars may vary and bring misfortune
She carried them all, pulled the shroud
And dreamt of sailing to the moon

Euphoria filled her empty stomach
She accepts men with sheer delight
For they bring fortunes in her pocket, her body-
She sell, they savour with relish at night.

Father, mother, brother, and sister
She no longer quenches hurt with love
She wrote; loitering on her desk
She gained prowess from prosperous letters

She writes at a blank world, but pretentious
Papers-- she tends to write for the world
Wishes to impress it by her perplexed concepts
Of love and hurt, For it to give her more.


She deserved more.

this is a page about how you broke her bones brutally.
blinding her days into the darkness she couldn’t settle for a stand.
“this is your sin.”
love was great,
love was strong.
but,
she felt small and very alone.
she has been good with broken things.
she is a big bang of catastrophe, an eruption of God’s tears.
if you just didn’t promise, she was whole without your shadow.
a promise is a sin.
and there is a sea of promises bare of thunderstorm needs to be nurtured because she has been damaged with your bona fide lies.
a dudgeon.
her voice is hoarse, a singer of your sobriquet name.
nights are no absolution and her cries are getting softer.
she wanders aimlessly to the 12 am's.
for her, this is exactly what death looks like.
a midnight snack and frozen story with her bedroom’s wall.
she locked herself in a funeral she called a slumber.
your love was a fanciful story, but one night away from the present time.
“this is your sin, and now she’s a sinner.”
she has been fragile and your love was boastfulness.
she was a rose and you brought her wrong.
this time, it’s her period of middlescence.
maybe you love her but your goodbye was more intimate on her guessing mind.
she was no longer a human, nor ghost in your grasp.
she is a belle of disaster.
but a million miles away,
you will beg her to come back home.
and missing her will be the only thing you need to shrive.
she has struggled to pluck your name and deep in the ground up you know she will.
and you expect her to be whole for your bathos tub.
the riot forms within your lungs,
and you had enjoyed as a fabulist to her.
she was your joke and games.
she's altering your lies into poetry.
her dictums soon to be as soft as the dusk teaches her tenderness.
to tame the seas inside her,
you have to tame her kingdom with thousands of armor.
and her Lord listens to her prayer.
when i write about things, i imagine first to be the most destructive thing. and i pour all my honest feelings about the thing. and writing for me isn't always about being me, or you, but about taking place to be something you never was. i hope you like it, and let's push each other to inspire.
its almost midnight
when she heard they whisper in her ears
she almost fall a sleep
when she know there something happening
they scream out loud
she close her eyes
they cant control
she try to run
theyre in anger
she desperated but she still stay

when the day is come
they couldn't take it back
the women run but the man try to reach
but he didnt said anything he try to calm
but the women being wild
it was like a drama but it feel real
he said "im trying to change , can you give more times?"
but she said "its over baby, you running out of times."
the little girl in there just watching
wondering whats happening
can the master of time pause this time?
because the girl feel the pain between them

the people who know them whisper in her ears
"why you stay away when he doesnt have anything else?"
"why you run, after he change his look about anger"
can this women oppose them?
sure she can, she always think she's right
she's right about everything
she never think about the little girl in there
she just look at her and pretend theres nothing to worry about
but the little girl know its only a trick
and she wish she never be with them.

Don't give your heart to a broken girl
You'll have to see all her flaws and madness
You'll see nothing but all her tears
You'll hear nothing but silence
She'll waste all your time without talking
Loving her will not be worth it.

I can give you a
million reasons
not to fall in
love with me;
but when it
comes down
to it, will you
really listen?

I can confess to
you all of the things
that are wrong
with me;
but in the end
wouldn't you just
argue my points
and try to prove
me wrong?

I can provide you
with so many
warnings and
try to delay you
with so many
yellow lights
and you'd still
push your way in
with little to
no caution.

And how she wonders
that the time
when she had nothing
but you
outshines the time
now
when she has everything
but you
Hungry heart,
thirsty soul
Has all the riches
yet a poor as whole
Somebody might be missing you, love yourself.

your kisses stain my lips
jawline and collarbone
your warm breath tingles
down my spine
your laugh
rings in my ears
these things are with me
forever and always
you say you're here but
you're really over there
smiling and laughing
with that pretty girl
i just watch as my world
shatters into a thousand
shimmering and glimmering pieces
like the stars i used to wish on
you and i dance across
my horribly ugly mind
we whirl and twirl
laughing and kissing
in their own wonderful world
full of secret i love you's
sly glances and stolen red whine
taken from your mom's liquor cupboard
in the dead of night
as the dancing figures get closer
i run farther away
trying so desperately to escape
these murderous memories
soft kisses and sweet whispers
i have nothing left to say

— The End —
