I want to unfold,
Stand and raise up
I'll stretch so far,
I'll touch the moon and sun.

Every star will fall,
Crashing through me
I'll never collapse again
I'll never feel the burning left by shame.

I'll expand into space's darkness
I'll know just how everything's connected
and feel I'm home once more,
and never hide my own galaxies.

I'll become space dust.

I can feel my body breaking
in the tiredness of my bones
I can feel my body breaking
in the heaviness of my clothes

I can feel myself letting go
of what I used to dream
I can feel myself letting go
as the apathy rises around me

I can feel my mind shattering
as he tells me what he thinks
I can feel my mind shattering
as our friendship starts to sink

I can feel so much
but I still don't seem to care
I can feel so much
in the distance that is there

I can't let myself feel this way
in the long-range
I can't let myself feel this way
it's time to make some change

Can love exist without expectation?
Indeed,  you aren't expecting them to bring the water
yet you will die of thirst.

ME
AFTER 50 YEARS
" EVEN THE MOST-WELL BUILT BUILDINGS
ARE BOUND TO CRACK
BUT HOW IS IT POSSIBLE THAT
I STILL DONT HAVE
A SLIGHTEST OPENING
IN MY HEART TO LET YOU GO "
EVEN THOUGH YOU LEFT ME
I sacrificed true love,
hopes in finding a cure.
Snake used to be a dove,
skin shedding close so pure.
they said in time hearts heal,
I know this all a lie,
my heart was all a steal,
take my halved heart and try.
let dakness all reside,
it shields me from the pain.
fog and rain divine eyed,
at least not all again.
come last breath I am free,
relinquished or not be...

Yawn, being sleepy,

I drowse my waking days like --


sleepless, dreamless nights.

Silence in chaos
triumph and loss
The house became empty
the line had been crossed.

Empty threats
spat in my face.
Accepted with grace.

Memories escaped.
As your smell slowly fades
from this room and also
my heart.

I only asked for your presence
I didn't want to call you again
I didn't expect you to mock me
As I, tried to process my pain

I'm sorry I expressed my sadness
I'm sorry I needed a hand
I didn't want to burden you
I hoped that you'd understand

I'm sorry I battled my demons
I'm sorry I shared my distress
I'm sorry but I was drowning
With Post Traumatic Stress

I didn't expect the silence
I didn't expect the blame
I suffered deep rooted trauma
It seems I brought you shame

I shut myself away
I kept my trauma confined
I watched you all move on
As I was left behind

Time has left a stranger
I'm not the person you know
In order to help me heal
I had to let you go

Heart is racing like a wave
I'm too sentimental
It's hard for me to let go
Or I'm just scared of the outcome

Eyes are wailing like the clouds
They used to shine so bright
I know it’ll all end in tears
*** I see it coming at eight

The art is you
I’m letting you go

I know I'm fallin
At the same time I'm breakin
Now, I must let go
*** I can't go with the flow

I prayed; I prayed everyday
If you are the one for me
If not, I asked Him to take away
And if He will, I'll accept the fate
SANA Dec 2023
As the day goes by
the breath gets heavier to breath.
the mind gets weighed down.
heart get burned.
with all the things it sees, takes, heard.
