Insomnia's grasp is tight,
Insomnia's grasp is tight,
a vice that won't relent,
A prisoner in my own mind,
I'm lost in this endless descent.
The darkness swallows me whole,
as time slips by unseen,
The world outside fades away,
as I'm trapped in this dream.
The night becomes a day,
and day becomes a night,
A never-ending cycle of sleep deprivation,
leaving me lost in this plight.
I search for solace in the silence,
but it's deafeningly loud,
I long for the sweet release of slumber,
but it seems forever out of reach.
...
a vice that won't relent,

The night becomes a day,
and day becomes a night,
A never-ending cycle of sleep deprivation,
leaving me lost in this plight.
I search for solace in the silence,
but it's deafeningly loud,
I long for the sweet release of slumber,
but it seems forever out of reach.

Blinded to the Smallness of your Existence
- dear john delivered in tears,
a weeping and painful goodbye
- funny how I didn't feel a thing
as my heart was ripped out of my chest
- I didn't feel for whole three days,
expecting a call,
or a simply message,
telling me how much I was loved
- waiting by the phone,
staying up late and getting up early,
in case the phone should ring
but it never did,
it will never ring again
- only then did I know I wasn't loved anymore
- I did call once,
trying to feel loved, ...
a weeping and painful goodbye
- funny how I didn't feel a thing
as my heart was ripped out of my chest
- I didn't feel for whole three days,
expecting a call,
or a simply message,
telling me how much I was loved
- waiting by the phone,
staying up late and getting up early,
in case the phone should ring
but it never did,
it will never ring again
- only then did I know I wasn't loved anymore
- I did call once,
trying to feel loved, ...

Demon inside
My love for this world is gone.
The dark is all I knew.
You took my light from me.
To the deities, Fuck You
You took my sanity.
You destroyed my peace.
Everything I loved lay deceased.
Now my pain don't cease
Fuck it take me I'm done
The dark is all I knew.
You took my light from me.
To the deities, Fuck You
You took my sanity.
You destroyed my peace.
Everything I loved lay deceased.
Now my pain don't cease
Fuck it take me I'm done

Mosaic of Memories
In the mosaic of memories that haunt my heart,
each piece of canvas holds bold reds and silver
of my past excess.
In the dark cracks between colors my father
used me to break his vows to my mother.
When I came of age, I used that darkness to
destroy the trust of others.
Across this chaos of colors that is my life, your
steady hand appears and begins to arrange the pieces
to create patterns of love, intricate and warm.
Your eyes reflect my past and glisten with regret
at what I’ve lost, but still, you stay. ...

Violent marriage
The best || the worst
In me || I've seen
Like || a curse
It will || not leave
Hatred || I || had never known
Today || I share his name
The joy || from wearing his stone
Turned || one day || to pain
I then || forsook it all
For honest || my belief
Yes || I seen the wall
But the writing || was Greek
Why || because || I knew
Worse || I had no...

Sun Bathing
In sunlight's embrace, my love was unveiled,
Her figure adorned as she softly exhaled
Her body embraced by a canvas of grace
Elegance and purity, a soft interlace
Basking in the sun she quietly sleeps
I remember our love and quietly weep
Her figure adorned as she softly exhaled
Her body embraced by a canvas of grace
Elegance and purity, a soft interlace
Basking in the sun she quietly sleeps
I remember our love and quietly weep

In Her Girlish Wistful Gaze
In her girlish wistful gaze,
She now laments those fleeting days.
Youth's whispered echos, soft and clear,
Her innocence fades, replaced by fear.
Regret looms like clouds from her past,
Her youthful lust is all that lasts.
She now laments those fleeting days.
Youth's whispered echos, soft and clear,
Her innocence fades, replaced by fear.
Regret looms like clouds from her past,
Her youthful lust is all that lasts.

Never ever
I heard the door slam and said bye with my eyes
but it wasn't an ordinary door, it was a glass door
that broke into a thousand pieces when you lied
and each piece was a fragment of my no more.
You took with you my shadow rugged,
You left behind my emptiness, my silence.
You left without giving me a kiss, a hug,
You left without telling me the urgence.
I stood in the middle of the room not knowing.
I saw the blood drip onto the floor, in a beat.
I heard the wind whisper but not understanding.
I felt the cold...
but it wasn't an ordinary door, it was a glass door
that broke into a thousand pieces when you lied
and each piece was a fragment of my no more.
You took with you my shadow rugged,
You left behind my emptiness, my silence.
You left without giving me a kiss, a hug,
You left without telling me the urgence.
I stood in the middle of the room not knowing.
I saw the blood drip onto the floor, in a beat.
I heard the wind whisper but not understanding.
I felt the cold...

In the realms of Uncertainty.
In the realms
Of uncertainty
Body tense ,
Adrenaline
Flowing freely through your veins
Hands clammy , hot
Sweat on you brow
Heart feeling shot
Sending you
Internal text messages
That lodge deep within
That nagging feeling
Vague but persistent
Like a drum beat
Slow to random
You know it’s
There telling you
To run
This doesn’t
Feel right
Better the devil you know
You been acquaintances
For years
But have you truly felt
Raw , giving your all ...
Of uncertainty
Body tense ,
Adrenaline
Flowing freely through your veins
Hands clammy , hot
Sweat on you brow
Heart feeling shot
Sending you
Internal text messages
That lodge deep within
That nagging feeling
Vague but persistent
Like a drum beat
Slow to random
You know it’s
There telling you
To run
This doesn’t
Feel right
Better the devil you know
You been acquaintances
For years
But have you truly felt
Raw , giving your all ...

Guilt
The hour struck delirous
pain spoke of grief
and I ache in its midnight torrent
Harboring the guilt of the day
I labored under the impression I would be free
honesty was silent
and truth glare
It was my hurt to bear
weeping in my need
I bleed
pain spoke of grief
and I ache in its midnight torrent
Harboring the guilt of the day
I labored under the impression I would be free
honesty was silent
and truth glare
It was my hurt to bear
weeping in my need
I bleed

The Thing I Believe To Regret The Most
The thing I believe to regret the most
Is not writing more.
You see, I’ve been a lot of places
And I went to those places for me.
And I did start out with a journal,
I did outline my journeys.
Sometimes I’d write poems,
Poems that echoed my soul,
And other days I would just live
Unbothered to write because
My experiences were mine alone.
And who are they,
To read my words?
To comprehend but not experience.
Yet now I wish,
I would have wrote the details
Of my own quest for purpose
You see, I...
Is not writing more.
You see, I’ve been a lot of places
And I went to those places for me.
And I did start out with a journal,
I did outline my journeys.
Sometimes I’d write poems,
Poems that echoed my soul,
And other days I would just live
Unbothered to write because
My experiences were mine alone.
And who are they,
To read my words?
To comprehend but not experience.
