#attach
Her roots are growing upon your being,
waiting for the warmth of your presence
and the drops of your attention.
As it grows,
she begins to demand more
her appetite to sustain grows.
But slowly you’re furthering away
your radiation no longer reaching
upon her bare skin
as the trail of your shadow is left behind.
Just like the rest you’ve furthered,
leaving her parched and left to thirst
the reservoir that has stopped flowing.
Grief tastes like fear,
for attachment is the synonym of fear.
To be intertwined and interlinked,
to give and expect —
but to receive less
with the passing days.
The experience of the past
harbors fear,
tremble at the feel of attachment
that is ripped away
to leave her bare.
Before you leave
Before you detach
She will leave
and disentangle herself.

From one country to another.
From one air to another.
From one heart to another.
I settle down from the sky to the ground.
I miss the people back home,
I miss the familiarity
I reminisces the beauty of the place
I called home.
It takes time to settle
my emotions
and life.
But then as I roam,
I fall in love with the intricacies.
I see the hidden beauty of the country.
As I meet people,
I start building homes in their heart.
And as I breathe the air,
I start to feel like this is home.
But as soon as I felt I was settling in,
when I was finally falling in love,
I have to leave.
I feel my deep intertwined roots in
people's hearts being pulled away.
I feel my heart breaking into pieces
as my hesitant hellos
become aching goodbyes.
My heart has become a hollow,
transitioning swiftly from emotional
to emotionless.
I feel alone once more,
as I depart from the ground back to the sky.
But I know, this cycle would repeat once more.

I tried to grab the rose
I wanted it’s beauty
I wanted it’s petals
I wanted it’s symbolism
I realised that my flaws drew a schism
I waited for the perfect moment to pick
I came back to get it
I saw it’s stem so slick
I reached for the rose when I thought I was ready to
I reached for the rose when I thought it was the best time
I reached for the rose when I thought that it wouldn’t stab me
It has spines like a rose
I feel my blood flowing through my wounds
I feel my love flowing through my wounds
I feel my love flowing through my wounds

Demons…by Jessie
Out amongst the unseen, there is a force that lurks
Attempting to disrupt my life and gum up all the works
Hiding underneath the rocks, in shadows cold and black
Waiting for the proper time to engage a sneak attach
These sneaky little demons, vile as they can be
Cut me off before I start, right below the knees
Just as I am lead to think, I’m going to get ahead
They change the course of fortune, and kick me in the head
I’m on to you Oh demon seeds; I know your tricky games
You’ll have me looking stupid, you’ll have me feeling shamed
I know just how to beat you; I’ll flank you from the side
I am after you now demon… run you demon, hide

i don't think you can unlearn somethings
like how to build walls around your heart
so that no sword will find a way through it again
like how to choose meaningless people to obsess over
because you know if they hurt you
the blow won't come as hard
and there you are
with your patience and kindness
slowly coalescing your presence
into my life
slowly getting me attached
to your presence
i don't think you realize
how special you are becoming to me
