a prod into the darkness

Written on

 


moody eyes, sullen lips
your hands are shaking with what if's
if we're cut from the same cloth, honey
why does your glimmer outshine me?
tormented genius, bitter words
your heart yearns for some spark unheard (of)
if you really need me for duality,
why does your name define me?

don't romanticise the dark
playing with your stark white skin, etching red scars
like the pied piper of Hamelin
flagrantly leading me into sin

you turn the deepest pain into tragic poetry
and i wonder if there's space left for me in this body…

you roll in the muck, fuck, self-destruct
always leaving me behind to lick your nips and cuts
when the shadows arise, all my collected sunlight
falls behind, falls away
you may roll in the muck, fuck, self-destruct
don't drag me through the tunnels of your darkest hurt
let me stay in the sunlight and tell your shadows to
fall behind, fall away

raised brows, lips upturned
in your two brown coals, cynicism burns
why should sweet lies ever ring true?
positivity wasn't made for people like you
empty chatter, hollow smiles
"fake it 'til you make it" can you fake for miles?
this ram shackled road reveals just holes
the lack of streetlights conceals my goals

what is so inviting about this
solemn, sullen, sinking darkness
seriously, what's so cool? you always let it win
the darkness is worms eating your tummy, rotting it from within.

i won't let you turn our deepest pain into poetry,
won't allow you to sing a song where there's no place for me.

you roll in the muck, fuck, self-destruct
always leaving me behind to lick your nips and cuts
when the shadows arise, all my collected sunlight
falls behind, falls away
you may roll in the muck, fuck, self-destruct
but don't drag me through the tunnels of your darkest hurt
let me stay in the sunlight and just tell your shadows to
fall behind, fall away

and some day before you die
i hope you get that
happiness isn't a lie
that pain isn't the only real tie
that is binding you here to life.

My Class

  My class, V-E, is a zoo, With no concrete cells, But with ringing bells, And everyone shouting "shoo". Sometimes it's like a living hell, And in unison thirty voices yell, They run and shout like monkeys minus tails, You can't "shoo" them cuz you'll fail. Other times it's just like paradise, Seems like you won the roll of dice, They'll speak so polite and act so nice, You'll forget you've come to a pack of mice. Now that's my class, Sometimes they're good as angels, Sometimes bad as ghosts, Come here, and if you're lucky, I'll be your host. Photo by  Iqwan Alif  from  Pexels

Sunset

Written on
via GIPHY It is 18:32. The sinking sun diffuses into the sky like orange candy on a tongue. The sun is slow, yet swift—it gracefully descends like a ballerina when you look at it, but plunges down like a dart plane when you look away. It is as if the sun feels your gaze and wants you to marvel at its glory as it puts its nightcap on. But you should know, the sun only takes a stroll around the world to light up some distant skies. When you see the sun swallowed by the horizon, you should know that it is swiftly climbing up the stairs of another sky in a far-off land you have never seen. Another girl will perch at her balcony at 18:32 to watch what you have just watched. And it will go on. via GIPHY I totally did not write purple prose there  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Did the excessive imagery enhance your reading experience, or was it a hindrance? Please tell me so that I can improve!

Fingers Pressing Key By Key

My fingers pressing key by key, Creating a “click-click” melody, But it is one that comforts the ear. And after it’s gone, I long to hear My fingers pressing key by key. Photo by  Startup Stock Photos  from  Pexels
