Healing
Healing is such a complicated journey as no human being is given the same hand of cards to play in the game of life.
I always thought that with time, the wounds from a perticular breakup, would hurt less and the blood would dissipate in a vague memory tucked in its own understanding of the traces it left behind.
I never came to terms with why that specific relationship, affected my soul in such a powerful manner. The colors were brighter with him and the melody euphonious. Aromas of life exhilirated my spirit, whenever he was around.
I don't think he truly...

diving into the whirlpool of love
i reached a fake fairyland where the cuckoo hypnotized me
the shiny origami ducks of magenta pecked my tender heart with intensity
lucid dreams, moist as porcelain, pricked me with needles
the butterflies tied my hands and dragged me into a blackhole...

You forgot to call me beautiful, again
It’s a slow burn
But what’s new
So absorbed in her, you forgot to notice me
In the dress I bought for you, again
That should be lying on the floor
Begging for anything, just more
A touch of affection
Not a rise of reduction
Maybe direction
Only destruction
Taking everything from my soul
Give me never enough just to let me be whole
Maybe just enough to stick around
Excuses wilting all the roses
That I found
That lie in the sink and I pick apart
When I...

Rotting Brothers in the Congo Jungle
They sent our brothers into a war
not ours to fight, not ours to win,
into a jungle that whispers screams
where shadows swallow names.
A place where the earth drinks blood,
the soil too tired to weep anymore,
and the trees grow twisted with grief,
branches like arms that can’t hold them.
Mothers’ prayers travel miles,
but the wind is cruel—it drops them
in the dust of forgotten roads,
never reaching their sons’ ears.
Their bodies lie in a foreign tongue,
their bones writing poetry the world won’t read. ...
not ours to fight, not ours to win,
into a jungle that whispers screams
where shadows swallow names.
A place where the earth drinks blood,
the soil too tired to weep anymore,
and the trees grow twisted with grief,
branches like arms that can’t hold them.
Mothers’ prayers travel miles,
but the wind is cruel—it drops them
in the dust of forgotten roads,
never reaching their sons’ ears.
Their bodies lie in a foreign tongue,
their bones writing poetry the world won’t read. ...

Things I’ll never tell
Love used to be a dream
Where everyone was as they seem
And when temptation came to call
They would never risk it all
Where they’d always be on your team
When one is down the other catches the tears that stream
But then came the first sting
It was nothing just a fling
Then the next and on we go
Rejected females sending me blow after blow
Till my self esteem is as shattered as my heart
Wondering why I’m not enough from the start
Knowing that I am worth more
But his cruel words leave me on the floor
Loving him but hating...
Where everyone was as they seem
And when temptation came to call
They would never risk it all
Where they’d always be on your team
When one is down the other catches the tears that stream
But then came the first sting
It was nothing just a fling
Then the next and on we go
Rejected females sending me blow after blow
Till my self esteem is as shattered as my heart
Wondering why I’m not enough from the start
Knowing that I am worth more
But his cruel words leave me on the floor
Loving him but hating...

The Crime of Words
If ink becomes illegal,
if words are chained and burned in the square—
what then of us, the lunatics with pens?
Would we bite the tips of our tongues
and bleed verses into our mouths,
spitting sonnets in shadows
where no ear dares linger?
Would we smuggle metaphors
in the seams of our jackets,
carve haikus into bathroom stalls
with the jagged edges of broken stars?
Would we gather under moonlight—
a cult of mad scribes,
pounding out our madness on rocks
until they crack open like truth?
They will call us...
if words are chained and burned in the square—

Would we bite the tips of our tongues
and bleed verses into our mouths,
spitting sonnets in shadows
where no ear dares linger?

in the seams of our jackets,
carve haikus into bathroom stalls
with the jagged edges of broken stars?
Would we gather under moonlight—
a cult of mad scribes,
pounding out our madness on rocks
until they crack open like truth?
They will call us...

I Saw You In My Dreams Last Night...
I SAW YOU IN MY DREAMS AGAIN FOR THE FIRST TIME IN SO MANY MONTHS, AND NOW I'M RIGHT BACK WHERE I WAS
THE NIGHT THAT YOU BROKE EVERY TEENAGE VOW WE MADE
THE NIGHT THAT KILLED THE BOY THAT YOU ONCE CLAIMED TO LOVE
THE NIGHT THAT SAW ME RELAPSE ON EVERYTHING I COULD GET MY SHAKING HANDS ON,
THE NIGHT THAT SAW THOSE SAME HANDS END UP COVERED AND CRUSTED IN MY OWN FUCKING BLOOD..
I SAW YOU IN MY DREAMS AGAIN.. AND IT'S BROUGHT ME BACK TO TEARS BECAUSE EVEN THOUGH I KNOW THAT IT WAS ALL JUST IN MY HEAD,
EVERY SECOND FELT SO REAL
I SWEAR TO GXD MY TOUCHSTARVED...

Because You Are Everything...
I don’t know when I stopped breathing for myself.
Somewhere along the years,
My lungs became an echo of you,
Filling with the air you leave behind,
Sustaining me in ways I never thought I’d need.
I see you—
Not the version you show the world,
But the one you hide.
The you who sits in silence when no one is watching,
Who carries the weight of words unspoken,
And pain unshared.
I see her, and I love her.
I love her more than I can explain,
And I’m begging you: let me love her too.
Let me in.
Not because I can...

insulted rain (with Crimsin)
intrepid need insults my intelligence
and I succumb to the grief it causes
inside a raging storm of feeling
angry lust insinuates love elsewhere
such a grand feeling
to be titled so
when it usually brings devastating pain
soul stitches threatening to unravel, our love on the line
hurtful knowledge, to love is to hurt
thoughts of us, keep plaguing me
memories of days in the sun
laughing, you're my best friend
Would you recognise my true face
if you could see the scathing aura of my pain?
Or would you call...

Everyone Let Me Down
As a part of my healing journey, I want to focus on the pain that Josh and other men have caused.
Without trying to understand them or explain away their actions. I want to focus on my feelings and my feelings alone. I want me.
I want my voice to be heard, not someone else's. I want to put my needs above everyone else like they always did me.
And in doing so, I have to come terms with the fact that everyone let me down. No one could ever stay...
And I'm at the point where I realize I genuinely am in so much pain that it may take an entire lifetime...

If I Could Stay
I can feel you slipping, and I’m terrified,
Trying to hold on, but I’m paralyzed.
How do I save you when I’m breaking too?
I’m a storm, but you’re the quiet truth.
I see the weight you’re trying to bear,
And I’m afraid I’ll leave you there.
I’m just a ghost with nothing to give,
But for you, I’d learn to live.
If I could stay, I’d never leave,
I’d take your pain, make you believe.
But I’m fading fast, I’m burning out,
I can’t save you while I drown.
But still, I’d try, I swear I’d fight—
If I could stay, I’d make it...
Trying to hold on, but I’m paralyzed.
How do I save you when I’m breaking too?
I’m a storm, but you’re the quiet truth.
I see the weight you’re trying to bear,
And I’m afraid I’ll leave you there.
I’m just a ghost with nothing to give,
But for you, I’d learn to live.
If I could stay, I’d never leave,
I’d take your pain, make you believe.
But I’m fading fast, I’m burning out,
I can’t save you while I drown.
But still, I’d try, I swear I’d fight—
If I could stay, I’d make it...
