Forget about glass that holds out the
world
Imagine the bone that bares a mind,
Can a room harbour its own universe –
Or contain a flowing galaxy of despair
drifting
Endless because of tremendous torment
Liquidity of the walls, floor, contents; it.
Green vines cling to consciousness and
tighten
At the slightest inclination of anything –
-
Less than a sickening sense of sublime
divinity
Which is unattainable to it; it is not what it deserves.
Originally appeared in: One of Which Forgets to Remember - an ebook I published on Amazon in 2014.

Through the shattered glass,
I see my dreams.

Halcyon, love and exuberant
This is too real!, I weep

Euphrosyne, do you even exist?, I exclaim
*Please repair it.

Just give me ONE reason why I should care about any of this.
Seriously.

It's the type of loneliness that weighs on your chest
Clinching your lungs
Draining your heart
Stuffing your brain
Freeing wasps in your stomach

Where you love your family but you'd be fine without them
You like your friends but chose to reject any contact
You long for complete isolation
And avoid any chance of human interactions

Where you feel so, so alone, you create imaginary friends like a child
Just to preserve your sanity
Trust me, when you lose them
You lose yourself

Its when you feel so afraid and confused and sad and in pain
Because if it's just you
You know you will fail
Fear of the hopeless
Confusion of the actions
Sadness of the loss
Pain of the emptiness, being the castaway no one really wants
Never really wanted

The crying is the worst part
Everything that makes you cry is in your head
Silent and exaggerated
For your lungs fail to function correctly
The tears keep falling and your nose keeps running
Mind races and you curl up in a ball
In your closet
With no light
Blind
Because sometimes its hard to open your eyes to life
It hurts to see all it's evil and so little good

Its the closest thing to that place between being awake and falling asleep
Or maybe between this world and eternity

Loneliness makes you want to be more alone
Its tricky like that
All you need is one person
I have around ten
But you can't see them
And I still feel the deepest kind of lonely
Just one person could save you
Someone to comfort me
To share the load
To laugh with
To love me
To care

But that is *******
Nobody could want to be that for me
Because I'm a broken, unfixable, pathetic, and hopeless person
And they know, as well as I do,
There is no future for such a young, destroyed person

It's the type of loneliness where you see no future
No hope
And no reasons
To keep on going
Nora Jul 2016
Tired, ironic and
Flatly stating
Jests about
Cyanide, suicide,
Joining laughter
To subside and
Normalize pain
Or rather,
Try to --
The joke’s on them
I still want to die

Gusto kong tumula ng hindi patungkol sayo.
Gusto ko namang aliwin ang makata na nasa loob ko.
Dahil pagod na ako.
Pagod na pagod na akong habulin ka gamit ang aking panulat at mga salita.
Pagod na akong ipaunawa sayo kung ano nga ba ang kahulugan ng "Mahal kita"
Mahal kita hindi dahil mahal mo ako.
Na ang mahal kita ay hindi isang katanungan na dapat ay sinasagot.
Na pag sinabi kong mahal kita,
mahal kita at yun na yun.

Kaya gusto ko munang bumalik sa umpisa.
Kung saan, mahal ko lahat ng nasa paligid.
Mahal ko ang mga ibon na nasa himpapawid.
Mahal ko ang puno na nagbibigay sakin ng lilim.
Mahal ko ang kalangitan at
ang ganda nito ay sadyang kaibig-ibig.

Dahil nung dumating ka,
huminto ang pag ikot ng mundo ko. Ikaw ang sistemang kumain sa buong pagkatao ko.
Binulag mo ako.
Wala akong makita.
Nabingi ako.
Hindi ako makarinig.
Akala ko tama lang ito,
na ganito ang pakiramdam ng pag ibig.
Nakakaadik. Nakakabaliw.
Ikaw lang ang gusto ko.
Ikaw lang ang isusulat ko.
Tinuring kitang diyos.
Sinamba at pinaubaya sayo lahat.
Pero para sayo, hindi parin pala ito sapat.

Iba pala ang ibig sabihin ng pagmamahal mo.
Pahiram lang pala sakin lahat ng alaala mo.
Mahal mo ako dahil ayaw mo ng maiwan
Mahal mo ako sa kadahilang alam **** hindi kita sasaktan
Mahal mo ako dahil alam **** ibibigay ko lahat sa iyo
Na susungkitin ko ang mga tala sa kalangitan para magdulot ng ngiti sa labi mo
Na isusulat kita ng tula kung saan ikaw ay isang perpektong nilalang
-- Yun lang pala ang habol mo.

Kaya hindi, ito na ang huli
Ito na ang huling beses na mag aaksaya ako ng papel at tinta
Ito na ang huling beses na magiging parte ka ng aking mundo ko
-- at ng aking mga tula.
Kaya paalam na sa iyo, aking Ginoo.

Dahil aaliwin ko muna ang makatang nasa loob ko na pinatay mo.

one--two--covered streams,
staining palms of the undiscovered,
they have holes in ears--for you--their mouths are wide--wide--open--!
yet they hide 'neath tender shield.

peekaboo, I don't see you.
for the flowers cry not for the see-ers,
but for the cut and tears.

bite into your wrist,
and watch the ache and finished work flow,
into ******* and tired vocab,
as it is merely zilch you're destined to grow.

wide--wide open,
yet you bawl not,
how will you get your food now, O dear?
simply let the ocean run hot.

they will not bother with whiners,
whose lips that starve,
the words now old timers,
and the blood that was carved.

dig deep--dig deep, my love,
and find nothing but ash.
die penniless--die penniless, O dove,
and thrive on the sunken ****.

they drink eulogies,
from soft gray tongues,
and murmur carelessly,
for the young-uns.

the world won't wait--
forever moves it--
**** the weak--the hard workers,
and take up the one shot-ers.

simply how the horse drinks it's water,
and how the earth soaks in rain.
nothing--nothing--nothin' but minor,
and disappointing.

simplicity rings the loudest bell,
and thought sings drooping tunes.
for the world hides not and tells.

and blossoms melt in places anew,
merely brainless--brainless--!
and the shield slips from blue.

for now the world is clear,
and doesn't care for the sanguine ruin in those eyes,
let your work fade--let your work fade, my babe,

play peekaboo a little longer, and drag the sword between the lies.
Even if you feel undiscovered, drag the sword between the lies and bloom them anew.

Please don't do this to me,
Don't make me feel like I matter to you.
It's so **** painful to me,
Because I know that none of it was true.

Please don't do this to me,
I just wanted something real.
But it kills me to know that,
Obviously that's not how you feel.

Please don't do this to me,
You left me with the touch of your skin.
The feeling of you laying next to me,
It almost feels like a ******* sin.

Please don't do this to me,
Don't give me a reason to cry at night.
Remembering your arms holding me,
It's so clear to me that I've lost that fight.

Please don't do this to me,
I'm so tired of being broken.
So many thoughts fill my head,
Because there's so many words that have gone unspoken.

"Why did you stop writing?"*

I don't know myself anymore.
MaleXcore Jul 2016
I can feel my heart slowly breaking
Still aching, feeling out of place
Hopeless, helpless and broken
Wishing your heart still felt for me
I know I'm slowly losing you and it's killing me to stay
