If I had one more chance to say I love you;
I would-
the words of my mouth have been lost
in the hands of a falling soul;
myself

If I could place your heart in my hands;
it would be selfish of me
though, now raids the guilt
of letting it be so

If I could tell you sorry;
I would-
for my heart aches of the pain
you have suffered by my love
my mouth remains shut..

My words of a lost mind
may find you
if they do-
I apologize~

Sincerely,
A Broken Mask

SIN
She made murals from the red flowing off her hands.
Every splatter a deeper shade.
Her cadaver looked like an old relic, adorned with cuts and scratches, weathered from years of savagery.
Every scrape on her hide created a deeper gouge in her diminishing heart.
She etched her pain deep into the walls, just like the nightmares in her conscious.
She relived her pains every night, calling out for mercy, as if she was the sinner.
But oh she wasn't, because she was the sin.
They called her 'The Lady in Red', she was anything but.
Outside she wore a mask of sinful allure but her insides were ashes and her soul drowned in black.
 
Every splatter she made with her ichor, she wished for cessation, for her pain to end.
 
But, alas, she had to do it herself.
 
She stepped into the grave, face burning with salty trails, her throShe made murals from the red flowing off her hands.

I'm convinced blue is cursed
That same color reflected in your eyes
Blue lures me in and drowns me
It shatters what's left of my disguise

I Don't Know Jan 2018
We're all kissing through masks
close, yet still
choosing to keep hidden
Personal, yet
oh so far away
Bodies touching delicately;
minds lightyears apart

In borrowed cities
We take off our masks
We ironically wear home
Lonely Solipsist Jan 2018
When my skin itches
from the inside,
I take it off
and fold it into a hidden drawer
that I've wrapped in spellbound chains
and encrypted two-factor locks.

You'll still see me,
painted with eye-liner and hair dye,
walking in business suits and saris,
turtlenecks and bikinis,
and never know
these costumes
hang
on
bare spirit.

the most
absurdly
exhausting
of all labours
is the distasteful art
of pretending to be
someone
else
don't waste your energy on hiding who you are
I made mind  to capture photos
Of each brazen step we took
Defying death on heavens steps
Whilst wearing devils hood

I could no longer carry secrets
While harboring such pain
There was no fixing this addiction
While conflicted with this rage

I made mind to show the photos
As proof i was not right
Inside i knew the simple truth
My demons hide inside in fear of light

When you saw the photos
You looked past and understood
The addiction that had riddled me
Was under devils hood
