In a world full of roses

And dull perfection,

Be the one losing petals;

Show them that wilting

Is natural, real.

-

It’s supposed to be a reverse tanka :)...

I wish I wrote it all out

Before I open my lips,

So I could get my head clear.

I wish I wrote them all down:

The great words you said to me

Forever stuck in my thoughts.

You kept your promises clear

Inked neatly across margins

But then you scribbled them gone.

This is why I keep to myself,

Only an object truly knows.

I should have traced the book’s spine

And thought to myself— long, hard,

The...

It was the day you died,

And I begged for you back,

With every tear I cried,

Close my eyes, fade to black.

You lie, just a body,

Nothing more, nothing less,

Cold like a corpse, rotting,

Choking me with great stress.

It’s a bullet to my heart,

Down falls my esteem,

Left my soul torn apart,

Lost my spirits, my gleam.

And I want to forget you—

Remove you from my mind,

Yet my lips still turn blue;

...

It takes up my very mind,

My brain, eyes, my heart—

everything that lies inside,

Turns my stomach inside out,

Heats my body up;

How should I deal with myself?

One moment, I embrace it,

Let this parasite

Take over my soul for hours,

Next moment, I hate it;

Not even bathing,

Would cleanse the disgust later.

Many people feel the same,

Yet in insane’s heart,

I feel bound to it like true love.

...

And I bleed,

And I blur,

They don’t see,

Their eyes burned,

On anything but me.

And I cut,

And I die,

My eyes shut,

My eyes cry,

When out struts,

Passerby,

Passerby, how I want their eyes,

Out of their sockets, onto my

‘Cool’ presence, my interesting stride,

Mind torment nestled deep inside.

Feeling known, Ive ever seen,

In my eyes, its never gleamed,

Constant, I want it to be—

Unnoticed, just...

He skips,

And trips,

Fast like a shooting star,

But it will find its prey wherever they are.

It shrieks,

He weeps,

Night now gets no sleep;

A wolf must be able to hunt its sheep.

In the woods where nothing is good,

Where hope has never stood,

Far stood his neighborhood,

But close stood it and tree wood.

He’s caught,

He’s not,

Not feeling an ounce of joy;

He’s shaking in its hand like...

The wind, trees and blades of grass mingle,

Nothing in nature stands alone, single,

Yet clouds share umbrellas for the storm,

When I remember I’m lonely without you.

Drips of dew, like honey, cascade down,

Teary eyes, too, drip on longing-clad frowns,

Do you feel the forest fire from strikes,

When you remember you are without me?

Everything is together except us,

Hours apart, but I wish I cou...

She’ll hurt you,

But only in the best way possible,

She’ll make you cry

Just to kiss away your tears.

She’ll break you,

Rearrange your entire mind

Until you see things

In only her eyes.

You’ll think it’s fine,

You swear its fine,

You wouldnt know better

When you’re floating

In a deceiving paradise.

She’ll make you beg

Atop the concrete,

On your knees

As she feeds

On your demise,

With your s...

It was a journey of the soul,

A question of my odd being,

Why I expirience these thoughts,

Why long breaths of time feel fleeting.

I ventured out, far, long and wide,

Each turn and curve tricking me,

That my queries are cleared, answered,

But nice things never come for free.

I thought so hard, I almost discard,

The need to inhale and breathe,

My mind is on autopilot,

Soon landing on truth, I...

A boy, a girl, a room,

Filled with nothing but thickened gloom,

Down cascades the girl’s many tears,

Up rose her words that hurt to hear.

A fist, a bruise, a week,

The boy wouldn’t let himself speak,

Her words felt like a punch, a hit,

Both of them feel like utter shit.

A thought, a hope, a wish,

That the room will soon once again dish,

Out memories of their smiles on plates,

But directed hate ...
