just
as I reach out
for the glimmering light
it slips, in-
between nooks and cranny's
in every crevice
a ***** in my armor
Humpty Dumpty could relate,
fissures in my soul
just...CrACKing open,
releasing the past,
through painful rifts
seeping into veiny rivers,

until I am consumed-
by the beauty
of my own death
an rebirth
I burst,
from my chrysalis

stuck eternal
forever it seems
I will
continue to metamorphosize

an such are the pains of growing.

Deep in her wine glass
A reflection of him, emerged
In the silent thought of the night
A teardrop, drops, creating a ripple
Drowning her thoughts
With heart break of pains
A sip or two, in between
Exploded more memories,
That once were sealed and forgotten
Now with every sip, slips down the cheek
a long night, alone with the closed,
chapters of her dark sins book...

So tight, it would hurt, yet I let it be
Lured with words, blindly following commands,
I sigh in wonder, truly, what are we?

When someone would show interest in me,
again and again, you would hold my hand,
so tight, it would hurt, yet I let it be

When someone would ask about you and me,
confusion painted in your face, and then
I sigh in wonder, truly, what are we?

Got sick of playing mind games, let me be
cry silently, as I grip my own hand,
so tight, it would hurt, yet I let it be

Finally, you have the guts to ask me,
yet I stood still and threw the question back
I sigh in wonder, truly, what are we?

Genuine masochists, we both agree
I chose to walk away, yet you glomped me,
so tight, it would hurt, yet I let it be
I sigh in wonder, truly, what are we?
"when someone would show interest in me
you would grip my hand tightly
too tight that it'd hurt
and I would never complain
when someone would ask about us
you would raise your hand in the air
confusion painted on your face
and answer, "what are you talking about?"
I never asked for it
and we never talked about it
but now I wonder
what are we"

That was the original.

they said you can only love someone
if you first love yourself
but i loved you
long before i ever
loved myself
for broken things x

Behind my sternum, exists a void.
Made long ago on this voyage.
Trail and error; attempting remedies
From school, to art, to melodies
Continue to spirits, and Buddha
All these attempts: futile
Confusion, anger, melancholy
They say, "look in to find it's seed"
But how would they react
If they heard what I retract.
That I've looked introspectively,
From sphenoid to chest cavity
And found nothing but a void

Slowly, the river continues to flow
Down stream, my vessel rows
In this infinite misery struggling afloat

As I know,

I will never steer to shore,
Because my heart bares wounds, tore
Knowing I will never tell you
Love filled soul heavy to bore

Time continues its streak
Upstream, downstream, to the sea,
And endless highway with no horizon, see
How I will always keep my feelings to Si

I love you, may that be my crime,
What heals me,
pains me

Father Time.

Always,
Si

you felt like the sunshine i wake to in the morning
your everlasting warmth and radiance
soothes my heart and soul
i will miss your touch,
the way your fingers brush against my skin
i will miss the way your mouth opens
and closes when it presses against mine
that beautiful force and energy we make
i don't know how i will face the world
now that you're dead and gone
and all that's left of you
is the soap on the shower floor
the last thing that your hands have touched,
and held against your body
the soap, melting, sweating out bubbles,
crackling against the current of waters
crashing down upon it like waterfalls
on the ground,
the cold and solid floor where i held you
for the last time,
where you said the words 'i love you'
for the last time

She calls on you
like the blisfull
mermaid
the is reconing doenst bother
who is where
she is but the start of an unformal affair
the wife of many and the truth
uncompared
she is but a mermaid
staring in the distance the long lost love
awakens a shinning bright spark
of another prey
she is the worst of all predators
you do not know my dear
what is the wrongess and the darkness of the matter
the vengeful is still at large
the bliss is atlast come to the poise of unconditional salvage
the attorney of the sage is but his past
the wise tell you to take retreat
in the shell of death
the sage tells you to step ahead
for the moses of times
is just blind by the rage of the matter
is a customary shatter
the bliss is real my friend you see
you are not involved in the pscychopath drama
they have crafted your nerves so well you become the cup the drama the morphine to your pains is but another tragedy a bigger one to ease the pains of the past lives
you are the serendipitous archive of the documented torture a mind can concieve or relive in the lonliness
the shutter of the blind called eyes may not blink but the urge to put inside a prickly object to bleed your self out
at least somthing should come out not a word not a sound but more and more profund silence a more psychlogical war fare
a more deadly hit
a more angered adversary
the more precise path
is that of forgiveness
your choices lead you here
you can choose a new destination
your sights must not fail
you are but an unanswered prayer
you are but an unanswered prayer...
my wounds are my words i hope to turn them to flowers  with practice i hope sure soon
