the leaves fell and they mean nothing
like the shells he kept on his room- they mean nothing
those days numb with the familiar
hands clenched without regrets, or so he said
those are but tombs without names
skeletons waiting for a crow visit
candles swaying with the wind for salvation
the ghost of yesterday still aching, hopeful for a better tomorrow
the dagger that made a home on his heart
the tears, smiles,  and the memories stuck in between
they're nothing, like the leaves
lifeless and crumpled beneath his feet-
all for nothing, he said, she said.

emotions floating high above
dark thoughts on a makeshift cloud
of spoiled milk mixed with blood
on weak wrist and a weaker heart
a fool's neck on a jester's axe
for the boy betrayed with lust
poisoned arrows from careless hands
poisoned hearts from careless minds
who would survive this apocalypse they call love?

tires and kerosene
rubber to skin
here eyes speak of death
and he's the willing victim

fist and stones
tars and feathers
a shameless walk
for the heart he chose

mob marching
rope's burning
vultures waiting
the world is hers for the taking

skulls and bones
tears and moans
the guilty screams
for the burning love untold

ink
let it flow let it flow
breathe with your emotions
and let it be your guide
to places where you feel vulnerable
light a torch and search for the light
now grab that device and channel your anger
hold that memories and let it linger
at the tip of your fingers where everything feels safe
nothing's more refreshing than a familiar scene
put it down into words and remember every detail
from castles to ashes
a pail filled with nails
bruises that speaks of happiness
to the world beyond our limits
purple skies and falling stars
the pyramids and its secrets
acquire the key of knowledge
and unlock life's secrets

things on my head as I try to make sense with the what ifs ;p

Destiny standing
Death smiling
Dream staring
Destruction waving
Despair lurking
Desire knocking
Delirium horsebackridinganelephantmouse

careless soul
calloused heart
veins imploding
fist clenching
a storm is brewing

beautiful chaos-
right words to carve on bones
feelings marked on a stone
please remind the boy
to place it on his tomb

and after all this..I'm still lost. blah!

In this game to the death
where the truth shouts defeat
and the lies just breed more hate
I say we escape

far ahead from this fate
far from the curse that revolves
around the ropes, around our necks
nobody is safe

and I need you
to help me see things through
the bad, the good
what else is new?

coz through your eyes I see
past the sadness , past the tombs I made
the ghosts that seeks revenge
I feel I can escape

she made a star on his arm and smiled
she is his new favorite artist
and he imprinted that moment on his heart

three days ago they were just blowing kisses
formed from a nicotine breath
she made a hole on his lungs
he didn't know it would also pierce his heart
the way her eyes would drive him mad

for today they just decided to **** time
not knowing that it's the other way around
time would **** them both
like the faint constellation on the sky

tomorrow, we will die, he said
I'll die with you, she answered with a grin
as the stars fell from the sky
her art faded with her smile.
