I was tired of this unending race
So I paused to take a breath
The exhaustion,
The weighing down emotions
I took a minute to acknowledge it all.
But when I opened my eyes again
I was stranded in a land
Lost in time
Couldn't find a soul
Be it a friend or a foe.
The world can always find ways to disappoint you, even in the things you have no expectations in.
Don't show me the illusion you call love
Show me the daggers you're hiding behind your back.
Don't tell me your sugary lies of trust and friendship
Tell me the truth you're hiding down your throat.
[a better place]
I like it here
I like the tranquility
The soft glow of moon
And the hidden reality
I like the coolness of
Passing breeze on my skin
And the sound of leaves
Dancing along with it
I like the stars in this world
They don't mock me
Glancing down from their heaven
Here, they watch me
With a knowing smile
As if something good is to happen.
I like this place
I just don't know
How to hold onto it.
You think you can tame me
Just because this pendent of your name
Is hanging from my neck
You think I wouldn't cross the threshold
Just because the sound of my anklets
Are more loyal to you
You think my identity belongs to you
Just because the bangles I wear
Is marked by your name
You think I would obey you
As the commands of those Gods
Just because you coloured me red.
“I feel lethal, on the verge of frenzy. I think my mask of sanity is about to slip.”
— Patrick Bateman
[What’s the rush?]
Months spent, years lost
several ages of humankind,
Turned to dust.
Searching the meaning
In meaninglessness
Seeking the purpose
In pointless existence.
In the grand universe
Though a tiny particle
Striving to leave a mark
On the earth's chronicle
That's Its own way
of attaining immortality
Conquering the fear of death
And Converging to eternity
But shortsighted as you are,
Didn't stop to think
That writing on the sand
Could be erased in a blink
Could be that your life,
Is one beautiful accident
You shine for a moment,
You exist, and that is the point.
You should have told me
Before me you made me smile
Before you showed me the stars
Before you lit that candle in my heart
Before you made me want you
You should have told me
That love comes with a price tag!
Do they wither away
Like a colorful rose
plucked away from his home
Or become sharp like a broken glass
That can tear your skin apart
Are they somewhere
Hiding from the world, healing?
Are they lost
In a permanent state of mourning?
Or have they stopped beating
Left in a cold wooden box
In an open graveyard
For others to see
As an emblem of tragic love
Or are they the wanderers
Sitting on an unknown grave
Crying for a stranger
For a broken heart knows
The pain of thousand deaths
Eyes that hold
Million unspoken words;
Lips that are
Afraid to form a sentence;
Heart that cries
"Please, hear my silence."
You patched yourself up
With little pieces of me
But can't you really see
It has left me empty
The daunting hollowness
Eating me from inside
Yet your eyes taunt
I must be guilty
What's so additive
About the pain and the heartache
That I couldn't step aside
Until pushed to the edge
I couldn't leave your side
The millions of seconds
It took me to realise
The best of your moments
Are the worst of my life
