It's a beautiful
world if only you
would let go

I used to wait for the sun to come back for me.
I used to shine for his whispering words.
I had forgotten that he only chased the moon-
Whose night and starlight mesmerized him till noon-
I dreamt you would choose me over her, over everyone.
How could I ever believe that ?
Oh Darling, please go.
You don't get to ignore the stars.
While you chase your moon, thousands will sing me their tunes.
I am the sparkle in this universe.
I am this universe.
Sadly, you cant seem to notice.
You hurt my pride.
Oh well, go chase your cheesy moon

i hurt myself over and over reading and rereading and creating words that made me think of you.
you,
the one who stayed by my side.
you,
the one who held my hand.
you,
the one who i'm ready,
finally ready,
to let go of.
you were my muse.
i wore you down in my mind until there were no other words to describe what happened between us.
the pain was replaced with inner pain but it was better than reliving us and ending my poems with "i love you".

Love seemed to escape my embrace
Without a trace, your once hot touch
Left an icy path along my body
A haunting feeling
Of a fate we couldnt escape.
Why did you have to berate a bright future
The unfortunate truth that it is too late
To salvage this ship that's been crashing
Bashing against the hard as rock realizations
Just like a ragged doll, I am void of any sensations
They oozed out of me through the wound you left behind
I gasp for air
You look away
You are now encased in a steel exterior.
How do I always feel so inferior to you,
A perfect specimen for all,
Impenetrable and Isolated
Standing proud and tall,
What once meant something
Will now mean nothing.
A ******* shame
My dearest, this time you'll take the blame
The irony of it all was that for you
I never intended this
For you,
I was determined to never write an ode of sadness
But as it seems, even you o perfect one
turned out to be not so perfect after all.
I wrote this for a person that has recently betrayed me. I couldn't find the right words to say to him in person so instead, I decided to write it down in a poem form. Now I can let him, and the situation go.

You let me go
You let me slip from your grasps
So I let everything else go
I didn't study
I didn't eat
I didn't sleep
I didn't want to live
Then you came back
And I let you back in
I don't know why
I knew that the cycle of letting go would just happen again
And it would never stop
That is
Until I let go
Let go of life and everything else that comes with it

I am not strong enough today

But I will be, someday

To let go

A piece of my heart

That once belonged to you

You said "hey"
I replied back
this is when it started
I was glad then
to find someone
really nice.. again
You said you'll stay
I believed
but not fully
I wonder, until when?
You'll be gone
not now but soon
You promised
to care
Yes, you do
That's why I believed
but not fully
One day,
You'll stop
and everything special will
be buried in grave
in a tomb where
my shattered heart was
You just take hold
of me now... for now
You just picked me up
To throw me again
Harder.. more painful
than ever.
hating  this sad truth.

Like a blank canvass I entered her life.

Like a set of pastel crayons she coloured mine:

She taught me how to live, she taught me how to smile;

She taught me how to lie;

She taught me how to dream.

And in the end, she taught me how to cry.
PS. Ahe also taught me that if you hold a remote close to your head and press the button, the remote will work.

It was a lonesome and cold love
A heartless love
A painful love
A love that wasn’t love
A forbidden lust disguised as “love”
And like love it was strong and powerful
It moved my emotions
It moved my thoughts
It altered my views
It changed my ways
And it made me miserable
It made me long for something unreachable
Unattainable but felt like it was already at my fingertips; although never closer. Never further.
The fear of moving away from it
Kept me holding on
Trying
Losing
A battle never to win always to lose
Like a soldier I fought and I continued
Just to learn
That I was not supposed to be a soldier
It was not my battle
I bled for nothing
I fought for nothing
Lies laid there like dust never to be cleaned
Slowly did I learn
I had to let go
Let go and move on
But how do I?
Teach me to be as heartless
Teach me how not to crumble
Teach me something I already know at heart but refuse to accept
Stop coming back
Stop leading me
Leave your dust and do not come back to whirl it around the room again
Just let me let go
Please

I don't know where to come
I keep telling you

Sure you do, you always do

Then why do I still question it

You do everytime,
let go and unwind
peace, harmony, relaxed mind, body, spirit, and soul
Let go
Let go
Let go
