i tried, but you no longer want to.
with sunshine and smiles, i wish that you find warmth in all that you do;
a home you can always run to,
even if it's no longer with me ā€”

i still wish you think of me.

I wanted to send a picture of the sky tonight.
Cause I missed saying "look, how pretty!"
-  I miss saying those words to you.

But I didn't.
Even when the sky reminded me of you,
You no longer need to know.

And I miss you.

We can always go on the rooftop, it's so high, we'll practically be part of the sky.

My right hand on yours, a soda on the other, we'll let the world sleep under our feet.

Everything will be right in its place, every pain will end in its own pace
We'll be alright.
We are going to live just fine.

if she ever look at you the same way i did,
how i chose to skip a heartbeat;
if you ever felt free the way you acted when you're with me.

or if you are curious to hear them.

i know there's no point in sending this message to you,
but deep down,
i know you wonder, too.

The Day You Apologized

I pinned your apology against my wall;
Looked at it for most of the days.

I went through hell, but I never stopped there.
Why tf would I stay in Hell?

I have healed my wounds on my own,
Without any closure,
And no apologies from you.

But if you think apologizing to me wil help you move forward, sure.

I'm way past you.

In an interview I was asked,
"If given the chance to move to a different country, where will it be?"

I'd be where the birds sing,
Where the water flows carelessly,
The fields green.
I'd move to anywhere I can feel what being alive truly means.

"Netherlands", I said.

Hoping she never saw that I am willing to go just right now.

Will wanting to die feel different in another country?

Break the Cycle
ultraviolet Jun 2021
At age six, my mother told me that dancing is not really for me. The ballerina in me died that day.

Age eight, I was told by my uncle that I shouldn't sing for other people. I never hummed eversince.

I held a guitar at age twelve, my brother told me "have you forgotten you can't sing?"

I  look like eight-shattered-dreams.

I trust that we know better now.
Break the cycle.

Prologue
ultraviolet Jun 2021
I'm a Libra, and I like rain.

Most times when I am asked why, I snap and say why not.

But really, it was raining the first time my mom trusted me to go to the grocery store alone. I got a banana and I was proud.

There was a storm when my mom decided to let us sleep in, miss school and cook us breakfast for the first time.

A thunderstorm echoed our neighborhood as my mom and I danced through radio and static. The outside was gloomy but we were happy.

So, when you ask me one more time why I like rain so much, I'd say just cause.
