Untitled


I looked at you from outside the window
of your large grey house
for me, it was nothing more than
finding you in your own cold mind

I stood there, waiting, 
numb feet and salty hair
and mem'ries of good o'l days,
pirouetting away

the way the sky
changes colors from dusk to dawn
reminds me of a love
I have always known
(have only known)

your world, your labyrinth,
your pain
i want to take
them all together
as your eyes contain the storm,
i want to take you all together

and now I'm standing here, waiting
numb feet and salty hair
looking at you from outside the window
while the sky changes colors --
from dusk to dawn

I turn to you.
I always turn to you.
In the future, I know that I will still.

And the river wasn't deep.

It feels strange.
It feels like my heart has been bewitched.
and you're to blame.
It keeps on floating.

It wasn't deep.

And I lost control.
I'm losing control.
Can't stop losing control.

You sailed.

And you told me,
"I miss you. I miss you"
it was only yesterday,



I keep falling
and you keep mending
Don't you ever get tired, dear?
(Please don't.)

You keep sewing holes in my heart.
Tears fall out of nowhere and you just keep on wiping,
Pale cheeks that was once tinted with roses,
why?

Don't you ever get scared?
They told me brokenness is contagious.
And your beauty doesn't deserve it.
I need you to stay fixed.
Stay fixed for me.

i was made to believe
that we are tethered
by a strand of twisted fibers.

me - on this end
you - on the other

and we pulled,
like the string of a handmade telephone toy,
when we needed each other.

you told me once
you'll never let go.

and i was a gossamer
and a see-though
and you saw through me
(how could you? honestly?)

then one day,
you decided to cut the other end.
and i saw the thread collapsed (and we)
and our story that has never started, ended.

but i still think of you sometimes.
and when i do, i smile.

hazed. fragmented.

You held me just before I've broken down and tried to save my 
soul from losing it's parts. But something's just couldn't be saved.
No matter how many times you wished and prayed and begged 
the stars and  looked for the moon. 
But you were here and that's e n o u g h.
"So don't you worry your pretty little mind
People throw rocks at things that shine..."
Today consist of:
Sun-kissed skin. Strawberry sundae. Report card. 
Korean Dramas. Peach-mango pies. Blue glitters...

Many thanks to all my followers ---> CONSTELLATIONS

for eternity

My letters start being real
the moment you read them.
without you,
it's just a collection of words
scribbled & painted.
holding no meaning. Useless.
I fear that someday
some of them will quietly fade away
be forgotten
alongside those emotions
that were once and will always
be a part of my existence.
But you, your beautiful soul,
promised eternity.
And I, with all my heart,
promises the same.

I've been spending too much time with myself and feeling happy about it. If it's only because of the weather, then I would gladly press my heart on it for awhile and maybe a little longer. For this moment may be gone tomorrow, but the memory of it will be tattooed on my skin forever.

I hope you are all having a wonderful day. Smell the flowers, sweet things. 
We all deserve to be happy.
