Dear Mr Scammer,

Why you gotta be so fake?
Why you not a real person?
Why you wriggle like a snake?
Why you gotta take the words I write
And turn them into cash?
Why a lotta folks I know would like to kick you in your—

Ash and charcoal cinders
Mark and make the page with pitch,
But you hide behind the DMs
Like a sneaky little snitch.
Which is really most annoying,
What is ‘real’ breaks at the seams.
Why you gotta be decoying?
Why you toying with my dreams?

Why you gotta make up stories
‘Bout the contacts that you know?
Why you trawling categories
Like a keyword-trolling ho?
If you wanna make up fiction
Write some books or pen some verse,
Why you gotta bring such friction
Every time that you converse?

Lastly Mr Scammer
There’s one thing I’d like to know
When you look into the mirror,
When you’re really all alone:
Does this outreaching of pretense
Make you feel like a success?
Piggybacking at the expense
Of the creative process?

Do you ever stare and wonder,
Do you ever deconstruct,
Why so many writers send you
Words that rhyme with ‘debt’ and ‘ducked’?
Cos while you’re busy scamming
We hack keys that you forsook,
Factor that into your spamming,

Yours sincerely,
Neobook

Спи, моё беспокойство,
острые плечи спрятав.
Руки пусть ломким хворостом
на перелеске мятом

мхом прорастают бархатным,
новым ростком брусники.
Падай, родное, замертво,
под колыбельной крики.

Дышит-трещит валежник,
это леса пророчество
несёт, спеша к тебе, Леший.
Станешь ему дочерью.

Turning the pages of my worn-out book,
Mind drifting, floating somewhere, suddenly shook,
Headfirst to the ground, I fell, surprised,
When scribbles from back then caught my eyes,
In small letters written ”Hey I’m bored”
”Hey bored focus on the board”
A smile crept on my lips reminiscing of those times,
Yet strangely no warmth I find inside.

Stealing glances at you was my habit,
Praying not to get caught, I must admit,
How I miss those days, when on your face the sun would shine,
Admiring you from beside, hoping you’d be mine,
Turning my eyes away when you looked my way,
I knew it would end someday,
But unprepared I was, it took me a while,
To sit beside an empty seat, not seeing your smile,
Without the sun painting your face with its light,
I wasn’t ready to bid you goodbye, not quite.

As morning dawned, tears welled in your eyes,
You were moving far away from this tiny countryside,
I didn’t cry, said it would be fine,
But deep down, I knew it wouldn’t, I just lied.
Plans to meet made, promises to call,
But distance and time took their toll,
I am left alone in this small, familiar place,
Everything’s the same, but you’re not here to embrace,
Weirdly it feels like I’ve lost a part of me,
Regrets of what-ifs cling, tormenting me,
If only I had expressed what I felt and not been scared and slow,
Maybe it would have been easier for me to let go,
And live without these unreturned feelings that only grow.

I liked you years ago and I still do even now,
And I fear falling for another, my heart won’t allow.


P. S. It’s supposed be a story, I’m lazy that’s why I just made it into a poem...

The girl I once loved
Was the most beautiful of all,
With a radiant smile, and the kindest soul.

The girl I once loved
Had dark brown hair and big doe eyes,
Her soulful voice, her smile so wide.
She was as an angel in human disguise.

She was the person I looked up to,
Someone with whom I’d forever want to be.
We grew up together, a promise of ’forever after’
Shared stories and laughter.

The girl I once loved
Was the most beautiful of all,
With the kindest soul,
And a radiant smile to recall.

To the girl I once loved so dear,
I wish I could convey how much I hold you near.
In my heart, you meant the world to me,
All the things that made you perfect that you couldn’t see.

I wish you could see through my eyes,
Feel what I felt, no disguise.
To the girl I once loved dearly,
I hope to see your smile, sincerely.

To you, my dear love,
With the prettiest smile from above,
My first love, my life,
I hope you’ll smile again in time.

To you, my dear, my life’s treasure,
My love for you, no one can measure.
The world may not understand, but let them be,
Your happiness is everything I need to live.

To you, my dear, so pure,
The girl I still adore,
May you find happiness again.

I wish I could say how it really felt,
To be trapped in a mind which I can’t help.
It changes daily and I can’t be free,
To see your emotion and how much you mean to me.

I know I’m different but it’s not okay,
I’m bound to be bullied and I have no say.
I made a few mistakes and I regret it nightly,
But I still tell those haters to come and fight me.

I can’t see what you see, you should be proud,
For me it’s either too bright, too loud, or two’s a crowd.
It hurts the brain so I keep eyes shut,
Dreaming of escape and shouting out ‘fuck.’

You scream and shout but I don’t understand,
I just need some help and to hold his hand.
It makes me a mess for people approaching me with caution,
Trying to mask the heat of exhaustion.

Music is an escape for all that’s unworthy,
No one to talk, but that’s good for me.
I relish to be alone so I don’t hurt others,
Just sitting in a book or hiding under covers.

I’m always ashamed at what I’ve become,
Though others protest it could be fun.
We laugh and play at the irony of it all,
Making fun of being too tall.

Please just listen for you’re all I know,
I dream too much for reality to flow.
But although I’m trapped in a forever prison,
I’m still here and I have Autism.

Fire
What happens when flint strikes steel?
A dull blaze
Swallowed up by humanity
We hide ourselves
And our dreams
Bend the light so we cannot see
And we lie
And die
For causes that burn at a hundred degrees
We stretch to the sky
And push down the guilt
Push away all feelings
And tilt
The world till it fits
Not with us but with them
And save our last days
For the blaze
That burns

I run after the birds on the mornings of the demise
of little pieces of me that fall away, everyday, never to rise
again neither in the same hue nor with the same tune.
I try to not look back.

All these masks, they range somewhere between many billions,
all toiling to take away those little pieces from millions
of other masks.

In a perfect world, the little pieces would shine brighter
and I would figure out how to heal them back
into their colours.
But in this world, I fail. So the pieces only burn.

And I run after the birds so that I don’t become
ashes, too —and because sometimes running away
is the only thing I ever do

—S.

Black pearls and your eyes,
Something that I saw just once.
You didn’t say the word,
But maybe I understand.
A half moon in the sky -
I remember the flowers you like.
I said I never loved,
But I lied all along..

10 missed calls from my broken heart.
I taste depressing now -
I wish I answered to the girl at sixteen.
Oh it’s burning everywhere as I drench in the same nightmare.
Half hearts at midnight - but do you still care?

~ ᗪEE ♡

Thanks a lot for reading! 💕

Come on take me
to your Neverland.
Show me how you
always understand.
I feel like I will
get lost in your eyes.
You can make me
feel like a butterfly.
I don’t know why
you can say goodbye.
I won’t let you
ever ever cry.
I can touch and see
your face in the sand.
I know you will
always give me a hand.

You told me to change
Said I wasn’t enough
You needed someone
to make you proud

You told me to be someone
I wasn’t
Indirectly urged me to lose myself
So I did

Now you’re asking me why
I’m not the same
Claiming it’s not how I was
supposed to be

Now you’re asking me why
I have changed
Tell me, what am I
supposed to do?

I listened to your words
with no choice
Did all you asked
Believing all was for the best
Believing your every lie

I did everything you wanted
Tried my best to meet your standards
Striving to be that child
who’d make you proud

But it seems as though I’ve failed
As if all I did is in vain
Because you’re still not satisfied
But I lost myself in the trying
Tell me, what am I
supposed to do now?

I did everything
Didn’t play with other kids
Tried my best to avoid foolishness
Worked to be someone
I wasn’t

I did my best to meet your standards
To live your dreams
To live as you wanted
Thinking of you as family
You were the only one for me

Now I don’t know
what I’m supposed to be
I don’t even recognize
me

You told me, so I did
Everything
But you’re still not satisfied
Now I don’t know why I even tried

You promised me a light so bright,
Said you’d always be by my side,
Spoke of safety in your hands,
But now I see your twisted plans.

Words like honey, sweet and smooth,
You said you’d guide, protect, and soothe,
But in your eyes, I saw a gleam,
A shadow hiding in the dream.

I trusted once, but something changed,
Your kindness started feeling strange,
Behind each smile, a hidden snare,
I wondered why you seemed to care.

You said forever, you’d be true,
But now I see right through the you,
A master of the careful lie,
Who thought my heart would never spy.

I turned away, I broke the chain,
No more whispers, no more games,
You thought I’d stay, believe your vow,
But I see clearly, see you now.

The truth revealed, your mask undone,
The game is over, and I won.

A person doesn’t live alone
They die
By living with someone
Who doesn’t care about them,
Who is with them for selfish reasons only
They get suffocated
By becoming a second choice always
By feeling that
They’ll never be someone’s priority
They suffer

How are they alive
Didn’t the loneliness kill them?
Didn’t they shatter into thousands of pieces upon being used?
Didn’t they feel like dieing
Upon becoming just a backup?

And their smile
Yes the same smile which everyone finds very lovely
The same smile no one is there to protect
How is it still there?

Who will explain people
Corpse also walk
How can someone look shattered
When they are broken from inside
Not every smile reaches the eyes
The tears in one’s eyes aren’t shown.

PS: Never make someone feel they deserve to be a second option only, not a priority
Never expect a person to come and tell you their pain easily,
if they could they wouldn’t be broken
Never ignore the signs, giving hints is the most a person suffering can do
Never let the person willing to die reach the level of attempting once
they won’t stop till they succeed.

HINDI VERSION:

Insaan akele jeeta nahi,
Marta hai
Kisi aise ke saath rehne se
Jisko uski kadar nahi,
Jo bas matlab ke liye saath hai
Ghutan hoti hai
Humesha second choice bane reh jane se
Yeh ehsaas hone se ki
Kabhi woh kisiki priority na banega
Takleef hoti hai

Na jaane kaise zinda hai woh
Kya akelapan use kha nahi gaya?
Kya istemaal hone ke baad uske hazaaron tukade nahi ho gaye?
Kya kewal ek backup banne se
Mar jaane ka man nahi kar gaya?

Aur uski hasi
Ha wahi hasi jo sabko pyaari lagti hai
Wahi hasi jiski hifaazat karne wala nahi
Kaise hai barkarar?

Kaun samajhaye logo ko
Laashein bhi chalti hai
Kaise bikhra hua dikhe woh
Jo andar se toota hai
Har hasi aankho tak nahi pahuchti
Aankho ki nami dikhayi nahi jaati.

(DISCLAIMER! This is disturbing, but I promise you this is just a POEM! Nothing more)


That bottomless pain in my heart only caves in deeper as the days pass on
I feel like I’m drowning in my grief—
thick and sickening
Whenever I look at my reflection
my emotions slip away and I curse myself
My heart crumbles to dust
I want to break every mirror I see,
I never want to see the girl looking back at me ever again
I want to tear her apart
What happened to her?
I hate her so much,
this girl
I wish she never screwed her life up as she had
She makes me want to scream
and crumple to the ground
and die
Why do I have to see that girl
whenever I see a reflection?
What have I turned into?
What am I doing?
I hate that girl in the mirror
looking back at me
I wish she would disappear
I want her to die
and never come back
I’m drowning and I can’t. . .
I just can’t anymore
I never want to see her again
Just die already,
girl in the mirror,
whose eyes are full of pain
without a tear to drop
Just die

”But the fates’ harmony reigns.”

Take a snapshot,
It will be the only memories left.
Gone with the wind,
Without any evidence you were there.

We had so much fun,
But i guess i should have known,
All good things come to and end,
Everything comes to a close.

Everything is just temporary,
That you should know.

a/n
Good things have an expiration date.
it hurts.

Soft-spoken
Not profane
Another argument I must refrain,

From sharing my thoughts
Calling the shots
Hoping my stance comes clear
And that my respect isn’t seen as mere

Once I step up,
To the conversation
I can already feel the agitation

”I disagree with this”
”I disagree with that”
Could you even hear each other’s perspective?
We’re getting off track!

Combative is the spirit
Being heard is the goal
If you refuse to listen, the purpose is gone as a whole

So I ask you
The one with malice in their eyes,
Why did I even try?

’Cause I don’t like to see you cry,
I don’t want to say goodbye.
Just promise me that you’ll smile,
Everytime you say goodnight.

I’ll look into your eye,
And promise to always try.
Whenever you say Hi,
My day becomes bright.
I’ll chase down the light,
And forever bring it to your sight.

Just promise me that you’ll smile,
Everytime you say goodnight.
’Cause you light up my every night,
I hope I always stay in your sight.

I want to be like Aurora
with her beauty and grace

I want to be like Ariel
to be a wild dreamer

I want to be like Belle
with her intelligent mind

I want to be like Jasmine
to possess her boldness not to be any man’s prize

I want to be like Pocahontas
with her determination to be heard

I want to be like Meg
to have her persistence in not being a damsel in distress

I want to be like Mulan
with her strength and bravery

I want to be like Tinker Bell

I want to be a Disney princess
because fantasy is better than reality

a/n: who’s your favorite Disney princess? mine’s Belle 💛
also p.s. I was inspired to write this poem by something my bestie alice_nicole said to me

The thought of losing you
Scared the shit out of me back then.
But now that I have lost you completely,
It’s like my worst nightmare,
But instead,
My reality.

The storms that once upon a time were walls
are now sanctuaries, and my thoughts are no longer afraid
of the loud silence that echoes them back, all empty.
My indecisiveness is mirrored by clouds
as they alternate between grays and whites, hoping
to ease the nights in everyone’s minds- failing miserably.
While my dreams, they encapsulate ’new beginnings’.
But so does dread.

Fall is hushed, and the world crawls towards it, yet somehow,
afternoons manage to blaze on my head before the dark
engulfs them into nothingness- and stars.

On uncertain august mornings, do you feel the air
on your fingertips resonating with your heartbeat?
It feels like assurance,
this air of in-between.


A/N: Last year in August, I wrote a poem titled ”in-between” on Commaful and this is just the version that I rewrote of it a couple of days ago. Thank you for reading, if you did lol. «33
Also, I made an Instagram account for writing a month ago (or somewhere near a month ago) where I post poetry, book reviews and questions and stuff, so if any of you are there, tell me your username so I could follow you there. Plus, I just post similar poetry both here and on Instagram so it’s not anything new, just the new stuff I write, or rewritten versions of some old poems :))
Oh and I almost forgot, my username is @scribbled.storms!

Just like a passerby, I am
Without knowing where I stand,
Or where I’m meant to go,
I just keep walking, eyes on the road.

I’m not the driver, just along the journey
Weary, alone, in the backseat, waiting
To be taken somewhere far away,
Where I’m meant to be and stay.

Moving forward but with each step, I stray
Faltering, heart racing, wondering if this is the way
Heaviness in every breath I take,
This aimless existence, I can barely stay awake.

Lost, uncertain of the role I’m meant to play,
Seeking an oasis where my soul can stay,
Legs giving up, vision blurred, losing the way,
Feet leading me to distant places astray.

Something’s wrong with my body, it never listens,
Trapped in my mind, in this foreign place, I try to find reason,
Seeking answers to the unknown, but I’m just a passerby
Without a clue or a guide to rely.

There’s no end to this endless journey,
And here I remain, forever a passerby, burning
With the ache in my heart that never departs,
But with faltering steps, I keep moving forward,
For I’m nothing but a passerby,
I’m just a passerby
a passerby...

I think you’re an alcoholic,
When you drink, it scares my mind.
You never dance and frolic,
Losing your memory, turning blind.

Red or white, it doesn’t matter,
A large gin to ease the mood.
I hear noises at night that sound like clatter,
Shaken to the core, you vomit what you chewed.

I lay awake at night in fear,
No one should be scared of their parent.
Enjoy your drink while I shed my tear,
I wish I could talk to you but I daren’t.

Therapy doesn’t seem to be working,
Truth being honest you seem past advice.
Everyone’s demons are lurking,
Bitch, soon you’ll be rolling the dice.

You tell me to gather my shit but look at you,
Acting like a teen and rolling on the floor.
I don’t think you’ll ever pull through,
None of us can take this anymore.

We used to have a good time,
Out for dinner or taking a stroll.
Now our relationship is in decline,
Fuck you for drinking alcohol.

I live for peace...
Horror is what I see in people’s faces
The more I hid my emotions
The more revealing it shows
My power is nothing because I don’t have it,
I’m enslaved, powerless and weak
I need help.

Help is only from God,
I think of a way to be free
But to no avail.
They’re so inhumane
I call them animals, everyday is like hell,
What way could I avenge myself and the humanity?

The torturous world I’m living in never cease for a moment,
I always wished that death was the best,
I still don’t know how to fight for my right,
But I always hope that my descendants will,
I hope the better future for them,
Oh Lord of the heavens protect me, my family and your believing slaves.

The sun shines with its full brightness,
It was the warmest day,
I miss my family like the distance from the earth to the outer space,
I love them like the garden of bright flowers glittering with eternity,
Oh how I wish the time could be turned once.

Oh earth why am I still on you?
Oh sun you are the most precious, I badly want to see you,
I’m chained in the darkest dome of a valley!
Just darkness is my everything for a twenty years now.

Never had I step foot outside the dome,
I worked overnight and only slept for an hour,
Just a living of a hell,
The people doesn’t care, so vicious and violent.

I speak from the bottom of my heart,
I’m already in danger,
I’m sad and angry.
But still,

I’m grateful to God,
He helps his servants in the most unpredictable way,
Though of how I’m traumatised,
He helped me by making me work every night,
It was the easiest of the tasks,
The morning shift suffers much,
But pain is pain.

I wonder,
But will wonders end?
The end of war isn’t stopping,
It is invading the world,
Once in my life, I was rich.

A very grateful one,
I always stand by the poor,
But unfortunately I was framed and brought to this place,
What a turns in life!

This life is like playing a game,
Where there is a winner and a looser,
And whereby a looser can become a winner and vice versa,
So let’s play this game together so that we can find it’s missing treasure,
That treasure is worth the earth.

Trust it is,
Can money buy it?
Can the universe destroy it?
We long for those with trust,
But everything is like a torn sheets of paper,
The world is breaking.

What would amend it,
I hope for the better reasons,
The leadership of today is a mess,
Why can’t the world find peace?

Racism is the biggest threat,
Devil has threatened the minds of the world,
Whilst he rejoices,
We are in chaos, fighting our own.

I pray for peace and unity,
I hope the world understand,
Understand the main priority,
Living is what matters,
Help your Community Oh Leaders!!!

The world needs you, we’re suffering!
The poor live in fear,
Afraid that he might not live for tomorrow,
He cried out his heart!

But will help come to him?
I hope it does,
The night is like the peace he needs,
The day is like fire, burning him of stress.

My mission doesn’t end here,
I hope I get out soon,
I also live in fear, but with tranquility,
And that’s the best decision to be ever made.

I want to travel around the world,
Show them what the inside of the world is,
Guide them to find serenity and where it lies,
Guide them to see what they are destroying,
Humanity can’t be lost!

I am a slave,
A prominent one,
My cries regardless of no hope,

This day might be the end of me seeing tomorrow,
I feel much weaker and;
I extend my goodbyes to the world!!

”Step up in front of the class!”
”Describe yourself with one word”
”No inappropriate choices or phrases, don’t make it absurd!”

I curse myself seeing she picks me first
My classmates were now immersed, in my next move
I disapprove, of the laughing I hear from the back of the room
With my hands shaking, I utter ”Failure”

The teacher glances
But I’ve been on my best behavior

The laughing grows louder
The teacher scolds, how her, choice
Of words created a riot
And made the kids anything but quiet

”No, let me explain!”
”Please sit down, we don’t have all day.”
The cycle of failure continues to replay

Look up at the clouds in your part of the world,
And dream up the days when we were so light,
We said our sorrys and talked like 100 year olds,
Because at the end, everything was always alright.
Words were strings, and we tread on them so gently,
As if we knew no thorns, even though it wasn’t true.
The world was our responsibility and we took it on
Our shoulders to paint into yellow all that was blue.
Maybe the paint spilled over, or the thorns started
Overpowering, but we could not walk the same road.
Maybe it was you who looked back first, or was it me?
I only remember seeing white where we had strode.
Look up at the clouds in your part of the world,
Search the air for where you hear the waves retreat
As the sky touches the sea, on some other end,
I would dip my fingers in the water, and we will meet.

—S.
{ I wrote this about a friend I had some four years ago. We just drifted apart.
For Nan’s (@hopeislost143) contest. I chose the second prompt «3}

When you look in my eyes and tell me I’m beautiful.
Will you do the same in front of your friends at all costs?

Will I still be the one you want when the world is watching?
Will you still hold me when your ex’s parents walk in?

Tell me I’m in all your dreams,
Tell me I’m the reason you breathe.

Will you do it in front of everyone and when there’s no one?

I think about it too often.
But will I be the one when everyone and no one is watching?

Will I still be your prize when I’m close to fifty nine?
Will you tell your friends that I’m your life?

Will I be enough for you, with the blinds closed and in front of judging eyes?
In front of strangers, will you say that you never need to see the northern lights because you are holding the sight?

Will I be enough for you when everyone and no one is watching?

When your hurt, will you call on my name on the edge of time?
Will you do the same when your family stay the night?

Will I be enough for you when everyone and no one is watching?

The fragrance of my childhood
Hides in the folds of your embrace.
You were warm, like the sun’s rays,
Whenever I needed you, you were there.
I thought our relationship would always stay that way.

I loved you so much, and I expected you to do the same,
But with time, our relationship got tainted,
And our love for each other slowly faded.
With passing years, the distance grew between us.

It’s not like I don’t love you anymore,
I still do as much as before,
And I know you love me too,
But it does not feel the same anymore.

You are here, but when I look for you,
I just cannot find you anywhere.
Even though the world left me behind,
I hoped you would be with me through time.

In the fragments of my childhood,
All the love you gave me, I still remember,
But all the times you looked at me with contempt, I still remember.
My love for you is still there,
Your love for me is still here.

But our relationship is not like before,
Even though we are so close by,
It feels like we are countries apart.
I can’t feel your warmth anymore,
All the good memories of you are here,
You too are here, but it’s not like before.

In the fragments of my childhood,
All the love you gave me, I still remember,
In those fragments, I remember how
You used to smile and look at me with love.
In your embrace, I felt all the warmth.
You were there for me whenever I cried,
And when I needed you, you appeared right before my eyes.

But now that I am older, things have changed.
As I look at you, I don’t feel the same,
You’re still as before, but we are not anymore.
People say, with time, relationships change, and I guess that’s true.
What we have now is hard to believe, describe.

In the fragments of my childhood,
All the love you gave me, I still remember,
How you looked at me lovingly, I still reminisce and smile.
But I still remember how you gazed at me as if I were something filthy.

In those fragments of my childhood,
I still remember that young child who used to be happy.
And loved their mother dearly; they still do,
But it’s not the same anymore.
It’s all just confined to those fragments,
And those fragments are slowly fading away,
Like those dreams that fade over time.

In the fragments of my childhood,
All the love you gave me, I still remember,
All the times you smiled at me lovingly, I still remember.
But just like a dream, it doesn’t feel real anymore.

Life is a garden and aren’t we all flowers?
flowers of all colors and scent, some beautiful and some ugly yet unique in its own way.
If life is pointless, then why are we here?
Maybe we are here for the creator’s entertainment.
If that is so, I won’t force myself to like anything neither would I force myself to hate anything.

Finally, all of my lottery numbers came up
So I phoned work to tell them I’m giving my job up
Only to realise it was all but a dream
It’s a 9 to 5 life for me, so it seems

Would you be scared?
If you saw me jump off a bridge.
Would you run and try to save me or stand there and watch?
Would you be scared?
If you saw me drawing red lines on myself with a knife.
Would you hide and watch or tell me to stop?
Would you be scared?
If you saw a group of guys trying to take advantage of me.
Would you stand there and watch or try to tell them to stop?
Would you be scared?
If you saw me trying to hang myself.
Would you just peek through the door and watch me suffocate or save my life?
Would you be scared?
If you found me dead in the woods.
Would you walk away from my body or tell people you found me?
No sorry, The real question is,
Would you save me?

You tell me you love me yet you can’t answer me.

Would you save my life?
If you saw a group of guys beating me up
Would you run up and tell them to stop or stand there in watch?
Would you call me a punk?
If I told you these girls took advantage of me.
Would I still be your #1?
Would you be there for me?
If you saw me crying alone?

Yes.

There’s a difference between you and me.
I never told you ”I loved you” yet I still try to show it.
But you, you just say that you love me. Yet you never show it.

It’s hard ,
Living this life when you know you’re letting people down.
It’s tiring ,
to know you’re not valued, staying underneath without a sound.
It’s boring,
To continue on , while no one appreciates your hard work.
Most of all ,
It’s embarrassing, to know you’re stuck in the same position, again.

“Learn from your mistakes? ”
*laughs*
Never

When I take a step ahead,
you force me to retreat two steps back.
Just as I sense us getting close,
you prove me wrong each time.
However, like a fool, I fall for your crafted illusion every time.

The words, like a lump in my throat, cling.
When I muster courage at last,
you make me bite my tongue and regret everything.
Unsaid words consume my mind,
eat me alive, roam freely, haunting the night.

As I attempt to crawl back from the edge,
you plunge me back deeper into the abyss.
To the world’s end, you drag me,
refusing to release me from your claws.
You’re the tunnel that surrounds me, making me devoid of light,
engulfing me in your shadow,
making me suffocated is all you do,
yet I still can’t unlove you.

I fear what I may become,
I fear I’ll never be enough.
And I’m afraid I love you so deeply,
so your pain becomes mine, it’s such a pity.
I know it’s wrong to feel hurt over your misery,
it’s your life, you choose this path of misery,
So don’t pull me along in your despair.
It’s wrong, you know, yet you still do.
I want to hate you,
but I still can’t unlove you.

I’m tracing your footsteps,
your shadow cast over me,
anxiously fearing someday I’ll become the one I hate.
So, I want to escape
from your shadow and your name.
But unfortunately, we’re bound by the same fate,
the same thread tied around our necks.
I can only run but can’t hide away
from the fate and the shadow that we share.

P.S. I think the picture is the most accurate representation for this poem...

I hate you more than the roses that die
The way the perfume scent fades away
I hate missing things that always lie
Saying that they’ll stay
I hate you more than almost everything, but there’s one thing I can’t hate more
”I hate you”s will never outdo the lovingness I bore
But I guess winter always has to warm

- Belle

amidst the riders of dark stealing our feelings as they pass by,
i question all the seasons that have ever brushed their faces.
their hands have wrinkled labouring to keep foreheads dry,
yet somehow, the storms always seep out at the wrong places.
i want to speak and know if calm is what really stills their seas,
but masks are mesmerizing so everything is only white or black.
if eyes were nightlights, they’d shine with all the hushed pleas,
and then we would see in them bleeding feet on uneven tracks.
