Haunted
Camille 32m
The skeletons in my closet wonder
Unanswered questions, I dare to ask
Haunting my ever existing body, it asks and tells
I answer, they stumble and mumble my name
My humbled body slumbers to its death, waiting to awake once again.

Yellow
Camille 34m
The smiles in child's faces,
The laughter in my mother's eyes,
The bright golden sunrays hitting my dark brown hair,
Everybody painted the streets bright yellow,
But you painted it an unfamiliar ,summery, golden yellow.

Jubilee
Camille Nov 2022
Wide smiles, happy faces
Laughter fills the room
The spotlight aches for attention
A dozen roses tossed around
The microphone speaks, the person shouts
The voice echoes all throughout the room
Screams of triumph, the trophies rises
Nov 2022 · 68
Focus
Camille Nov 2022
The music spirals me unto the room
Moving swiftly, dancing to the beat
Singing softly, whispering loudly
Typing hasty, losing count of time
My heart beats faster, the pressure raises
My thoughts succumb me, and I then resist
Ecstasy fills the room, I continue to dance to the beat of the drums

Questions
Camille Nov 2022
Blurry visions, clear blue skies
My watery eyes deceive me as I look into the mirror
Distorted faces, mistaken places
Thoughts and questions thinking where and why
Deep breathing, sudden gazes
Looking down these rabbit holes
An endless loop of surprises
Oct 2022 · 75
Flames
Camille Oct 2022
Impatiently waiting, the time strikes two
Slowly anticipating, filled with chaos and doubt,
Frustrated glares and mixed faces, Eating more than I can chew
Sinking spaces, racing thoughts, experiencing drought

Our world
Camille Oct 2022
Your smile, your lips, your eyes
The windows to my soul breaks apart
Looking back at these empty places
Tracing my steps to where I came from
You catch me and I hold you in my arms
We both smile and our tears break us apart
Oct 2022 · 71
Worry
Camille Oct 2022
Stretched eyebrows and fake laughters
Awkward smiles, pacing back and forth
The small lit brick fills the room with light
Darkness encloses me in
And eventually, I set it free
Oct 2022 · 57
Conflicted
Camille Oct 2022
Stumbled across crossroads
Conflicted, confused, indecisive, and blurry
Slow moving steps, walking as I go
Training my mind how to grow
Blossoming and blooming yet failing to glow
Craving and crying, these tears then show
Recovering and dying, staring and shivering
The self will be set free once I learn to know
Oct 2022 · 60
Gratitude
Camille Oct 2022
Seeing this light from an empty void
I rise up and let you in
You rise me up and raise my voice
Light shines from my red lips
You give me hope and faith to shine again
Oct 2022 · 69
Invisible things
Camille Oct 2022
The smile you give me as you sip your coffee
With helping hands, you give me strength
Each day is a battle I will never forget
Shinning laughter fills the room
Ecstacy and delight brings our universes together
Oct 2022 · 96
Dancing in the dark
Camille Oct 2022
Seen in this moonlit room
Two shadows walk in
Hands shaking, voice trembles
Dancing, turning, your hands spin me around
Holding my hand, you pull me closer, handing me a rose
You swept my hair across my face, pull me close
Our stares against our souls begins to collide
Your universe collides into mine
Aug 2022 · 182
Abandoned
Camille Aug 2022
My paradise grew rock solid
Windows nailed shut
The ballerina stopped dancing to the music
House filled with bricks left in ruins
Aug 2022 · 72
Chaos
Camille Aug 2022
Roars of anger echoes along the hallway
Murmurs heard around the neighborhood
The rooms starts to empty as distance builds
Years passed as time ticks along
Yet with faith, reunited once again
Eyes filled with water as worlds collide once again
Aug 2022 · 186
Trapped
Camille Aug 2022
And here, I lie, as red fills the floor
Tied to these walls built for centuries
Eyes grew cold, My mouth taped shut
My body goes numb as my vision goes blank
Jun 2022 · 82
Showtime
Camille Jun 2022
You use me, replace me, reuse and repeat
With the words you spread and lies so sweet
Discretely I hid the way you mistreat
I was your greatest victim my downfall made you complete
With your twisted words and cover uped lies
I hope you enjoy my biggest suprise
Jun 2022 · 234
Trapped
Camille Jun 2022
Contained in this lonely shedd
Ingrained are the words they said
Fearing as she misread
Sewing instead with a broken thread
A mouth that was unfed
Mar 2022 · 88
Follow Me.
Camille Mar 2022
Be my shadow and I'll be your light
Behold the muse to my artwork, singing with delight
The story behind my writing, this is my final plea
Like footprints in the sand, follow me.

Crossroads
Camille Mar 2022
Strolling through atrocious paths
Here I am, Here I am
Day dreaming aftermaths
Here I am, Here I am
Stuck on crossroads
Walking on a tightrope

She
Camille Dec 2021
She
Chest tightening, she fell.
Eyes watering, she felt shivers on her caramel skin.
A downturned smile, she still laughs.
An everlasting pain, she still stands.
Dec 2021 · 208
A Lightened Candle
Camille Dec 2021
The candle sits still
steadily in the darkness
The cold wind strikes
making the fire and light vanish from existence
Oct 2021 · 283
Conflict
Camille Oct 2021
Confused and conflicted, I ask myself
Why am I trying so hard to be the best
Old memories then starts to come out the shelf
Alas! Here comes the uninvited guest
Telling me I'm worthless, worse than the rest
Oct 2021 · 266
Rain
Camille Oct 2021
Looking at the window pane
Observing now the pouring rain
Fake wide smiles, swollen eyes
Perfect pictures torn to pieces
Red, red, roses set aflame

My forest wonderland
Camille Jul 2021
My body is like an everlasting mountain full of different mountains and figures
Seeing this wonderful sight, I don't realize it's beauty, no matter its size and figure.
Perhaps, i may need another view in order to appreciate its beauty, may be its own quirks and flaws
But, as I may be doing my best to keep this wonderland, I am grateful for it to be serving me and my wellbeing
Jul 2021 · 419
Beauty
Camille Jul 2021
Beauty is grace
Beauty is patience
Beauty is timeless
But beauty has its own uniqueness
And Beauty is not defined by one standard
But beauty is in all of us, in our own way
Jul 2021 · 235
Conflicting mind
Camille Jul 2021
As confusing as it can be
My mind wants to be set free
It maybe as deep as the dark blue sea
Hidden underneath are secrets we all want to see

Cycle
Camille Jul 2021
We once met as strangers
And became friends through time
That quickly turned into lovers
But then ended up as strangers

Alas, the cycle continues...
Until I met you.

Love Strings
Camille Jun 2021
An unforseen connections of two souls arise
This was a blessing in disguise
Happiness fills her darkest days
An everlasting leisure comes so fast
In which I never knew would last
Two melodies colliding in harmony
A never ending sound that plays eternally
May 2021 · 186
Our Last
Camille May 2021
Till our last tear drop falls to the floor
We shall meet again, my friend.
Farewell
May 2021 · 79
Time and Again
Camille May 2021
And maybe,
when the time comes,
we can be together again.

Cycles
Camille Apr 2021
Imagining scenarios in a different perspective
Looking deep in your imagination
Scars starts to rise; it seems to be ineffective
And with an empty canvas, you start with your creation
And as you go on, the cycle repeats itself again and again
And as you conquer this mess, you shall reign
Mar 2021 · 312
Promise
Camille Mar 2021
Your piercing words full of deceit
Were once from a garden of blossoming flowers
Blinded by these false realities of hope and love
I didn't see it coming
The devil was in front of me all along
Nov 2020 · 88
The Enemy Within
Camille Nov 2020
Conflicting ideas turn into one
That was me
Identities of one was safely undone
As it shall be
The world was telling her to hold the gun
Wanting to set her free
With each word and action done
You can see
The fight that she had won
It was the key
Oct 2020 · 62
Tranquil Thursday
Camille Oct 2020
The calming breeze passes by
Luring me in, soaring so high
Drying my tears in every eye
Looking above to the night sky
Saying goodbye with a bitter lie
Catching my breath as I deny
Perceiving everything in my mind's eye
Wistful belonging as I sigh
Oct 2020 · 77
And, in an Instant
Camille Oct 2020
And, in an instant, it all stopped
All the minds that have been blocked
Uncovering the veils of illusion was constant
And all suddenly became distant
Feeling stuck inside a box
Wanting to be free, as these chains unlocks
Oct 2020 · 47
Lingering remains
Camille Oct 2020
And in an instant, everything became black
And still, here you are Zac
Not looking back, but straight into my eyes
Still hearing echoes of painful cries
Staring straight into my soul with a painful glare
And I turned back and you were still there
Jul 2020 · 86
Restoration
Camille Jul 2020
Cutting all of the strings attached
Repairing the holes that were once patched
Curing all of the scars left by mistake
And thus, left me with heartache
Fixing these imperfections that they all knew
It broke my heart into two
It left me blue, but it made me see through
Picking up these pieces one by one
All of these work shall be done
And I shall reap what I sow until all that was left was none
Slowly all of these chains were undone
Alas, I will see the shinning sun
Jul 2020 · 75
Secret
Camille Jul 2020
If loving you is a secret that I shall take
Then I shall take this heartache
I'd rather love you in secret
Than lose our friendship
I am not opening my closet
Unless you tell me in private
How do I know if I am still in my head
With all of these tears I've shed
Stopping myself to not express
Leaving me with distress
Jul 2020 · 70
Mask
Camille Jul 2020
Yet life as it is, we should let it be
I found that being myself was so free
Rather than hiding in a mask never to be revealed
The true self that was always sealed
Was now released, only to be free
Just like a seedling, growing into a tree
Jul 2020 · 66
Memories
Camille Jul 2020
Wishing someone I can hold on to
To someone I can count on
Love and lies all around
Images appearings in my head
Countless nights of losing sleep
Wishing you were here with me
Talking through the telephone
Hoping that someday, someone would finally save me
Jul 2020 · 57
Loneliness
Camille Jul 2020
Appearing in the moonlight day by day
Lurking in the shadows
Appearing out of the blue
Striking me with fear
Sending shivers down my spine
Leaving me with hopelessness
Me and my fears in the night :(((
Jul 2020 · 77
Words
Camille Jul 2020
He, who has been filled with guilt
Rising above this empty void he built
Reaching out to the skies above
With all the people filled with love
When all of the words were left unsaid
It was the moment that they dread
Spewing words that turned into a thread
With all of the tears they shed
With all of the words left to read
Most of the flock fled :)))
Apr 2020 · 83
Blinded
Camille Apr 2020
You are wonderful
You are loved
You are beautiful
But why can't you see

Trapped in chains
In cages of thoughts
Wondering why am I different
Why can't I be free
Apr 2020 · 127
Unsent
Camille Apr 2020
Why am I scared?
I'm awake at night
thinking if you cared
Am I right?
For leaving you hopeless
With the words left unsaid
Unseen messages
My thoughts fill into dread
No one to turn to
No one to lean on
I don't know what to do
But I, will see you anon
Scared that someday, you would leave me alone
Scared that one day, you wouldn't show
Mar 2020 · 57
Truth be Told
Camille Mar 2020
I, a trapped spirit tried to break free
To break away from my own prison cell, my body
To break away from these shackles pulling me back to where I started, my own thoughts and insecurities
To tell the truth about a situation
To seek justice for myself
Is that wrong?
To speak for the people who need justice?
To voice out what most people cannot admit?
Mar 2020 · 83
Hide & Seek
Camille Mar 2020
As we count from 1 to 10,
You were finding, seeking and looking for me until,
You found me in a crowd of people
The more I tried to avoid you, the more you liked the chase
Mar 2020 · 65
The Sun and Moon
Camille Mar 2020
In a sea of stars I see,
A bright light,
Shines blindingly than the others
Full of love and hope

But I am just a moon
A reflection of her happiness
Surrounded by stars but blinded by one
She's the only one I see and need
Mar 2020 · 62
My Prison Cell
Camille Mar 2020
Outside these metal bars is a forest of paradise
Where one seeks peace and calmness within
The soft waves and the calming ocean breeze
I breathe in deeply, It is a lovely sight to see

But in my miserable state, I am unable to be free
To experience these beautiful things that I see
I see people who enjoy from sunrise to sunset
Dancing and celebrating to the beat of the drums
Able to see, touch, and hear around them
Able to do anything they want since they have everything
Mar 2020 · 65
"I'm Fine"
Camille Mar 2020
I get lost in my head, filled with words of doubt and insecurities
Feeling alone in a place full of people I wish to see
Seeing the people I love going away one by one
"I'm ok"

Feeling scared to face my fears, to speak out my opinion to others
People laughing at my insecurities, laughing at every mistake I make
"I'ts fine"
Feb 2020 · 64
Unexplainable darkness
Camille Feb 2020
So many questions but one stands out
So many answers, a question of doubt
What are these feelings?
These deeply scarred wounds
These bottled feelings
scared to be expressed
Suffering alone in darkness
Loneliness unfolds

Saw a blinding light filled with joy
I'm rushing back to it
Reaching my hand out
Seeking for justice and hope
It shines brightly, blinding my sight
I thought I could catch up to it
But it is to far away
I did best to reach out and see
And finally, I came out of the darkness
Out of my misery
