A body is just a vessel that holds the heart,
the mind,
and the spirit.
Somewhere in his damaged brain,
he is screaming that he loves her,
but she will never hear it.
This is what I tell myself when I think about him.

What I ink to my page is not poetry,
There is not rhythm or rhyme, nor reason.
The empire state is no structure to my art.


What stains my page is not creativity,
Squiggles and lines leave marks from my mind.
The blank canvas does not lead to my masterpiece.


Words are my patchwork quilt,
Adjectives and nouns thread together my memoirs.
There's no glamour in my prose.


What I ink to my page is not poetry,
nor is it my intellect or wisdom.
What I ink to my page is life.

Love left.

Apparently, we were there
holding each other,
Inside, trying our best
to keep it together.  

But, honestly we both knew
Our bodies were there
But, love had left.

I want to bite the flesh of your words
And let the juice of your truth trickle down my throat.
I want to inhale the scent of your joy
And graze upon your sadness
I want to devour your pain
And consume your pleasure
I want to feast on all parts of you
And relish every mouthful
Until my belly can take no more

This is how I am to the world,
So quiet and unheard,
When I speak, no one listens,
This is why I have an addiction.
An addiction that keeps me safe,
An addiction for my own sake.
It keeps me calm and warm,
Without exposing to any harm.
It taught me to never speak my mind,
And to be the one left behind.
With the ones who screams and cries,
And they taught me how to lie.
This is who I have become,
So broken and so numb.
Do not try to save me,
You would only find my debris.
I have learnt to conceal my thoughts and feelings, because no one really cares. No one would ever notice your pain, no one would help you. Because I am worthless, I am nothing.
