I had declared war on myself.. Bloody battles raging for years.. I sat in the middle of the killing fields.. savage; dirty weapons in hand.. victims lying around me.. but deep down I was broken.. people would come& they would go.. & I barely noticed them.. until you came wondering in my path.. you crawled through the landmines.. & dodged my grenades.. & you patiently sat with me as things exploded.. you were fighting your own battles.. you gave me your coat.. and wiped away my tears for awhile.. & it wasn’t nearly so lonely there anymore.. I never thanked you for that.. for keeping my company.. when I was trying so desperately to destroy myself.. I hope wherever you are now.. you have fought all your battles.. & won your war.

He told me he knew I wasn’t okay. he told me even through my vacant smile and my dismissing wave, he could see a fear behind my eyes. And it was then that I almost let myself cry, and I felt I could fall into him. Because someone looked past my skin, he saw my heart beating and my mind thinking. He could feel how cold I was without even touching me. He made me realize I’ve never been truly seen before.

Ache
it's like the
ache of a
lost limb,
to see you and
not hold you.

Teach me how to Touch
She’s a poisonous tree
Who hated every hug 🫂
I’m a poisonous ivy
Who hates being touched.

To unrequited love. The tremendous and everlasting one-sided pull. 🖤

Brief Immortality
A time-lost wanderer stuck on aspirations
Of knowing that this moment is brief.
A few familiar faces linger around,
As time remains constant for them
While my moments here are brief.
The curse of immortality makes the years into seconds,
A small blip of existence that gets forgotten.
They’ll be gone when time marches on,
And why should I get attached to someone so fleeting?
I’ll remain longer than them when the clock strikes midnight.
A body turns to ash then earth,
I stand near their graves in silence.
Unable to cherish something so impactful
When they disappear in a cosmic second
And getting attached means more pain when the bells toll. 
Wilted ambitions for cheerful banter,
Faded desire for small talk.
I can’t get the feeling of a connection,
Suppress the butterflies and keep the heart’s pace
So that when the dust settles I won’t grieve their memory.

Mars
Tumblr media
He waited at the back door, green lights shards on his eyes, overlapping those colourless irises. He lost his light at the tapping ground, busking at the subway, it was a sunny but pallid afternoon upon. His name was Mars. And he knew nobody but himself.

Words could never explain how much YOU meant to be,
For being no more than a minute by my side...
But still gifting me an indispensable smile.
i love u
(Some untold words to that one crush)

You swallowed my sun. And crushed my moon to dust with your hands. Then blew out each star, one by one. Until all light was gone. And now years later, you suddenly notice I’m still here. And you dare ask why I sit alone in the dark.

Two broken bodies wash ashore, the crash in an ocean led by one blue heart, led to your broken one. I was drowning and brought you down with me. Now, we're both face down in salty regret and shattered glass. But it’s okay, as long as we haven’t lost each other.

dehydrate
i am 70% water
i want to cry
to the point of drying myself out
till all my tears have made a well
for me to float
