entangled

one of those days when i’m livid
not because i’m angry, but sad
to see that i can’t heal you
or to feel the pain you hide
poorly

is confiding a forgone thought
what is it? something i did?
or something i should’ve
what made you feel it’s better
alone

i’m helpless and all i want
is to help you feel like self
you might not realize, my love
but when you push me away, i
die

letting you go

for years we kept our distance
for we couldn’t see eye to eye
forgetting the bond we shared
forgetting to say goodbye

that was all the hope needed
that there’ll be another chance
that’ll never happen now
that’ll never be my stance

for i have given up on you
for you have given up on hope
forever to be a lone now
forever eying that hanging rope

a chance

…and just like that, a candle lost its flame… 

…and just like that, a star went supernova…

…and just like that, an ocean ceased quenching… 

…they were there, forever, until they were no more…

…so if there’s a chance, perchance, tell them… 

…tell them how they’ll still be there, just like they were… 

dismay

the rampant betrayal of self
is it really worth it
or do you think i’ll take you back
lack of esteem

you should’ve just conveyed
what was in your heart
instead you chose to string mine
till it broke in millions

now i rage not for the hurt
but for the future we could’ve had
if it weren’t for your delusions
thinking it was just a game

blame

the foggy reflection in the mirror
of loss and regret
wiping down teary wide eyes
cursing the fate
who is it to blame for all this
whom should i hate
or was it me all along responsible
causing this upset

wait, the blame i passed onto others
for failures uncountable
while i stopped even trying at all
saying they’re insurmountable
it was me standing still, world moved
my damage irreversible
all i can do now is stare at foggy eyes
and cry inconsolable
