  • purpose?

    a heavy heart
    and an empty feeling
    that’s all there is
    to life, at times

  • 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

  • a fleeting feeling

    standing by the road, still
    the world moves by
    and a terrible feeling
    the traffic is more disciplined
    than these haphazard thoughts

  • 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

  • exile

    exile

    imprisoned with my own freedom…
    while the shackled world moves on!

  • 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… 

  • misplaced rage

    disappointed with the way
    i am treated simply because
    you are the one hiding secrets
    from me

    why am i the one who suffers
    the rage and swings and not
    the one who is responsible
    for this

    am i to just give up my voice
    and give in to all your whims
    or should i stand my ground
    and say ‘fuck off’

  • 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
