The best pain of today
Is the hope you had yesterday,
Loosing to the regrets
of what is passed;

Now, pick up,
Pick up,
Pick up the shards

And wound yourself;
Wound yourself hard
2 in the morning, can't go back to sleep yet.

I've grown so much,
yet I feel small.

even if I tried,
would they notice me
at all?

the silence of the midnight sea,
was like the echo of society,
is this what was it supposed to be?

a grey cloud overshadows me,
I am withering.
words are not simple,
that sometimes I just want to be a cloud.

I don't remember
many memories of comfort,
or maybe I'm just biased

since I forget how it is,
the time it ends

It's exhausting.

in the dead of night
Brumous Dec 2021
I yearn for things
that I desire,
and to these thoughts
at the end of the night,
it forever keeps me up
beneath the clouded
and desolate sky

I can't help but,
to grasp
the glimmering
dewdrops of the sky

in the end,
we're all alone tonight
a different version of the first one.

intricate.
Brumous Oct 2021
.
.
what I feel is,
confusing, fragile,
and rapidly changing

I am no Shakespeare;
not good in words but,
just a person who chained themselves
and lost the key

I write to feel, to procrastinate,
and maybe to blow off steam;
Hoping that each work bleeds
the feelings I want you to feel

being a crybaby is hard,
when you can't cry;
being emotional is frustrating,
when everything is too much

you bleed inside,
when you want to
act on those feelings,
[Not everything; can be expressed freely.]
That feeling is clawing
from the very depths of your being

They want to be free, do they not?
Despite that, they'll call you crazy
for feeling such things

Better to be rational
yet, they'll call you heartless.
maybe, something balanced would do

overwhelming feelings is a crime,
I guess dad told me why.

Society and its reality is relentless
a few several mistakes and
everything is in flames,
before you know it
Sing for me.

Labyrinth
Brumous Apr 2021
I noticed that all I talked about
is just myself being lost,
and not about an individual
who is found.

ye skies extended up and above

Clouds, forests, and roses
with its thorns peeking out
Mist of feelings swirling
like a roundabout;

Was I the one who chose to enter,
knowing that there is no way out?

Inside this maze, that leaves me to doubt
****.

A Gullible Fool
Brumous May 2021
I once had a crush,
but I was not in love with them
maybe I liked them a tad;

But, I don't want to have one anymore;
It somehow frustrates me that I gave too much,
adoration, things, and such

Who knows if there are more people out there that never
realizes the value of one's trust;

I wish that I can grow
a garden out of words

that way,
I'll be as comforting
like the cold breeze
on a blissful night

then, seeing autumn
will feel so right

but, instead of those

I have this
glaring eyes,
that angers my father
every time

I'm envious of how people can be like sceneries,
so beautiful and alluring

yet, I am just...

Brumous Jun 2021
nothing was enough,
I really tried
maybe not much

as it is not sufficient
I do nothing
and tried

Everything.
everything, was it?

i sat idly on the floor
with headphones to
drown the thoughts and all

for my actions failed to express,
and so does my words.

Magic mirror
Brumous Apr 2023
Echoes of that lying indulgence
for the ideal world left out in the open;
calls to you.

And due to the loneliest somber room
you've kept yourself as a prisoner,
all you do is try and grip the walls

Forever looking into the lens
with a filter of that serene land in your head,
a dream that you continue...
to live through.

fear creeps in
was it anxiety?

choking on the sobs
which never existed

I nervously laugh

With nothing to gain,
and everything to lose

I'm such a disappointment.

Looking Glass
Brumous Mar 2021
If one
is to see
with smoke,

the farthest
they can go is
at the surface

If one
is to see
with mirrors,

the labyrinth
of the inside
can never be harnessed
I'm not good at notes.

(honestly, this doesn't let me put any more tags; And, when I do it says 502 Bad Getaway; It has been like this for a while)

I cannot see the beauty in me,
for I've tainted myself with lies and impurity
Hid in a house made
with concrete irresponsibility,
and now they hold no trust in me.

I painted the exterior as if the one who did it wasn't me,
and had the inside done with walls I can't even reach.

gone is the real me,
I locked the door and threw away the key.

a toned color of red smeared on my body,
only wishing to tear each part of me to see what's wrong and how empty I came to be.
shattered.

God, I miss you.
Brumous Nov 2021
.

.
I am not a sight to look at,
but being with you made me forget;

You,
the one who made my very own structure,
the one who I thought I knew.
Gave me a year of deception and fun;
I, the oblivious fool, was blinded by something called adoration.

we drifted apart,
you knew what I felt,
I don't.

You kept silent,
I wanted to talk.

Now, listening to her music,
only makes me think of you
reminiscing the moments with you;
made me think that  if  I made the first move,
and told you,
what I felt will be true
to be hurt or not.
I once hoped to cradle your heart,
Despite the lies.

Oh, young love,
Have I loved you?
It was one-sided, I guess.
I still think of you, sometimes.

Nature's Palette
Brumous Mar 2021
In a small cardboard box,
sparks the creativity of a child;

As they paint with colors,
they will soon learn
how to paint with words
and understand how the world
does it with blood.

They'll know that the world
isn't always sunshine n' rainbows,
there is rain too.

But, you are here
To shelter them for a while
and help them see the colors;

The colors of life.
Ah, should I just put songs that you can bing-listen here in the notes? I think yes.

Here, "Neru & z’5 - Whatever whatever whatever(I~ya i~ya i~ya) feat. Kagamine Rin & Kagamine ***"

In this world
we constantly move;
and you should improve to
avoid being left in the dark

That's why you can never stop
and ask yourself if you're even enough.
Slowly getting tired, aren't you? Are you still not satisfied?
Stand, and see how fast the world is.

Rapacious Hunger
Brumous Apr 2021
Let me crush those eyes that failed to see the beauty in them,
and hold your hand that held;
that warmth I always craved
The bitterness never leaves my taste,
even with my heart that you served on my plate.

"So, What should I do with the body?"

"Dispose of it, and make sure that it is never to be seen again."


(Yeah--- this was supposed to be about being envious but well being envious makes you hungry;

Gluttony, I suppose that in some way people have them.

We all have this starvation for the things we don't have or maybe we already do;

Although, satisfaction is yet far from its peak.)

Oh, I can't put this down the notes since I always get 502 bad getaway;

Stop talking,
your words are caressing me;

Don't be such a candy,
you're too sweet and tempting;
along with that smoke
that never reaches
the amused

I do not smoke- I just wrote from someone's perspective. Though, this makes no sense
