Sitting on the wire she glooms and alone
‘Down forth’ all beckon,
‘Bits of bread are there
Pick up lest the other demands share’.
The lame bird ***** in the air
Rolling down from her breast a feather,
Pecking a bit with a sense
The escorts saving by defence.
A hunter hits like the lightning from the blue
None finds out yet its clue,
Concreted blood splitting and dog's spittle
Absence of delay makes her utmost brittle,
The barking dogs in the narrow city
Whose have with her no affinity,
All green leaves falling upon ground
That is for love beyond of bound,
Odium! Odium! to the merciless beings
The supreme creatures for whom so long she sings.

Sickening,
He found it sickening,
How everyone around him seemed to be in love.
Someone,
They all had someone.
They all had the thing he was dreaming of.
Loverboy was surrounded by love,
He found it excruciating.
Loverboy wished for an angel to come down from above,
To end his misery.

How Loverboy loved,
To hear about everyone’s,
Relationships while he was alone.
Loverboy all on his own.

He went through the motions,
Dancing solo.
Solitude had left him destitute,
Crawling to a new low.
Loverboy watched as,
Lovers and friends,
Intertwined hands.
He envied,
His friend,
And hoped her relationship,
Wouldn’t meet a bitter end.

Circling,
Circling thoughts.
Was Loverboy good enough?
Was it something he lacked?
Loverboy pondered as he turned his back.
He closed himself off from the world,
Too afraid to watch his heart unfurl.

How he loved to listen to,
The gossip of the hearts broken in two.
Some relationships were meant to lose,
Fate demands his dues.
How could he be so unlucky?
Surely, this was the work of irony.
Or, perhaps, was he,
Just unlovable from the beginning?

Loverboy learned not to care,
When his friend spoke about her affairs.
After all, he was alone,
With no opinion to offer besides his own.
His friend was clueless,
Clueless about Loverboy’s mind.
He accepted his fate,
That one day he’d be left behind.

Loverboy’s lack of love,
Led to lies of liable fun.
Just smile and listen to the stories they tell,
His tears overflowed inside his well.
Don’t crack,
Don’t break,
Loverboy can’t afford to make a mistake.
After all, it’s not about you,
It never was,
Loverboy knew this to be true.

Loverboy loved to listen to others’ loves.
A lie to keep him up at night.
Loverboy wished an angel would fall from above,
To show him some love,
Some of that fated love.
Life can be a lonely road.

won't be different
you will fix your crooked poster
she will say you're funny,
he will cut in line for lunch
you will trip while walking
you can fight it, you can run
sooner or later you will be alone again

so you climb on your roof and scream
to the moon, that silent son of none:
"it's not my fault
  it's not my fault"

he stares back, unforgiving:
"tomorrow will be a new day
  you will count the paint marks on the ceiling
  he will look at her and smile,
  she will call you friend
  you will say something wrong
  laugh if you want, cry if you must
  it makes no difference to me"

he tells you he will come again,
& in all of this, the question lingers:
aghhghghghghghg

I loved someone, once,
They brushed their teeth with wishes of hope,
Just so i could wake up to them spouting lies of heavenly grounds,
But still i stayed,
They said to walk one step at a time,
But that was hard when my own shoelaces were out to get me,
And yet I slept,
They spread a religion of love,
Knowing the bible was AI generated,
And yet I believed them,
They would force the words into my throat,
Suffocating me with their false fist,
And yet i loved them,
The city was so busy yet no one saw the tears on my cheeks
But i painted them red to show my devotion
Abolishing my temperament,
My truth was blended with busy traffic,
And yet…
I stayed.
if i spelt anything wrong sorryyyy
There is an eerie silence in waiting—
a hollow ache where time unravels,
a chair left empty,
a breath caught between the ribs
when a shadow
or a song
reminds me of you.

We were not ready—
two trembling hands
unable to hold without breaking.
Perhaps in another life
we will be braver.

But here,
the silence screams louder than words.
The phone glows blank—
a cruel rejection without your voice.
I push it away,
as though distance could sever the pulse
that binds me still to you.

I do not miss you—
not in the way the world defines missing.
I do not yearn for love—
not in the way stories paint it sweet.
Yet somewhere,
a buried vein of me
still bleeds your name.

In the uneasy hush of maybe,
I linger here—
in the half-lit corridor
where absence hums like a haunting.

And nothing haunts me more
than the ghost
of what we could have been.
my mom slipper
splintered floor mat

hand rusted, hovering
breaths rake the air

lean, bend, chase
shifted rooms, his question:
“who you think you are”

foot sinks
in lakes of red ashes

fog thickens
ashes remain

pillow strikes
blue soles pressed
decades deep

his shadow clings
a silent fling of ash

time drips
floorboards groan

hands tremble
bodies stagger

ashes whisper
fog swallows
sometimes, people need to understand that not every type of grinding can be justified, some just exists to be. that's it. scares me at night

Life is the greatest killer of all.
Cancer. Sickness. ******.
Wellness to illness, function to dysfunction:
Two sides of the same coin toss.

The greatest civil rebellion lasted
122 years, give or take, yet
In all the struggle few realize that the true oppressor
Is always enslaved to a certain animal within.

Our ancestors die, our rivals die, our sisters die,
We've been choosing death all along.
Look at our blood: from tree to house to ash
And mammal to mammal to dirt to memory.

All things before the sun, that great heap of ******,
Will have the color drained from them.

The great white is an event
Of the great blackness. And when it explodes . . .

And there's a lesson to be told here,
Call it 1.1.
There is a lucky infinity
Of the few who, unlike us, life
Didn't take them, and there is a growing infinity
Of us the many who death will take. I fear
That there will be a great war
To ruin the eternities that dot the night skies,
The Olympians. I fear a great war
Where infinite darkness both ways
Will finally collapse -
And us in the middle, the living,
This star chained away
By space and time and
The magnificence of its light,
Breathing away every last drop -
Will fail,
And the ******* bang will stretch out in both ways
As a final ******* to existence.
And that'll be the end of it.
Bence 6d
It's hard to write down what i'm thinking,
My brain doesn't work after drinking,
So i use my heart to explain,
The unbreakable love that i feel.

If the brightest shooting star,
Appeared in the dark, blue sky,
I wouldn't waste a single second,
And ask god to make this happen:

To make you appear in my dreams,
Every night for a thousand years.
And i would survive all those days,
Just to see your perfect face.

I fear, that once i'll forget your scent.
But no, i can't,
It's in my heart, and in my head,
Lining up next to the million reason,
Why i can't let a girl like you,
Out of my life, just simply go.

I don't like tattoos, never did,
But to carve your name, into my skin,
I would do it with a smile,
Use the sword of a loyal knight,
With glowing ink, so **** bright,
It would lead you to me in the afterlife.

My final wish, the biggest one,
Is to bring you back into my arms,
And make your cruel pain stop,
You deserve this kind of love.
