#romanticise
eating every last bit of my guts like a snake swallowing his prey swallowing me whole to the last fraction of my many crushed pieces last portion of a flesh through and through rotten I swear by the toxins of limerence by the rancor that rancor towards this world of scatterbrains oh pull me out of this sorrowful pit a dark place with no luminous love buried it has the softness of a touch the touch sin that raw manner of a sinner the resident of this world of scatterbrains

Rancor and limerence
People love fields, fields of flowers. Society say they're beautiful. They grow in parks, they are anywhere life lingers. Even in the dull city, they bloom. And everyone picks them, "I love this flower, I'll take it home and put it in my vase!" People pick the flowers, in an "act of love". Then, people bring them home, to put in their vases, where inevitably they will wilt. If you truly romanticise them, you'll care for them, you'll water them daily, you'll make sure they're in a spot where the sun hits, you'll make sure they thrive. And I'll do the same, for you.

Flowers
I have a tendency to romanticise, A habit of hoping. Jumping to conclusions in my mind, Maybe it's a way of coping. It's caused a few issues, Assumptions tend to do so. But my mind won't give up that easily, It sure doesn’t like hearing, 'no.' So I may as well embrace it, After all, what's so bad about hope? Maybe that’s what we all need, Maybe that’s a good way to cope. Ana

A TENDENCY TO ROMANTICISE
Some people will have you believe that damage can be beautiful, and it's true that you can find the sunlight through the clouds. But my trauma is not pretty. It is an ugly bruise that everyone thinks is okay to poke at, and watch the black and blue attempt to change colours when it heals. There is no beauty in crying alone at 3am, spilling alcohol down your shirt at a party you're only attending to drown your issues in, swallowing tiny little pills to feel somewhat okay, avoiding any comfort because you feel you deserve less. It is a lonely place to be, stuck in a broken mind with one-way windows. I can romanticise my pain as much as i want, but it will always be a toxic relationship i have with myself. And it is not beautiful.

Damage
Silver skies, tranquil nights Gently gazing down from afar Silver rooftops, twinkling lights Buried deep among the stars Silver memories paint silver portraits Hung from my interior walls Silver melodies, not unfortunate I hear, my name, it calls Silver teardrops stain my cheeks Making melancholy of innocence Silver snowstorms, heartache's peak An evocative and celibate synthesis Silver dreams, silver eyes Meet silver nights, tranquil skies

A Very Sonnet
I tried to walk About in the woods And dense evergreen forests That are filled with monsoon Which would've hit it moments back And before the roots could actually seep it all in The mangroves witness the shower again. I tried to romanticize Scribbling about the way he'd curl up Beside His fingers in my hair Each strand longing for his affection Longing this magnetic attraction Between my hair and his stubble face. I tried meeting people Having interactions in my head Portraits of people and learning About their cultures and Means of existence and more. I tried to write I tried to write impossibly Of the things I'd never lived Witnessing is an act, Living is a dream. I tried dreaming I tried dreaming of all that could be Could have been; All the intricate fallacies The make believes. I was trying to write impossibly Of the things I'd never lived And then reality struck me.
