Father.

oh, my dear child,
do not cry,
do not whimper,
do not even flinch
fret not the fire isn't coming,
fret not,
the earth is still revolving,
fret not,
your father will die one day.

A note from a mother who has always been protecting her children from the abusive father

side note; if you're in an abusive relationship do seek help, remember if people are against you, I'll be the one who is standing besides you.

uncertain

parallel or lateral,
there was always you,
at one point,
from one axis,
to another axis,
where I am not sure if you even exist.

Perfect relationship

maybe it was the idea,
of two people falling in love,
that keeps me sane,
or maybe it was just my imagination,
that we are already perfect,
holding each other’s pillar,
not to fall,
when I literally don’t have the image of the other person,
all these maybes and ifs,
stuck upon my sanity.

insomnia insecurities

i'm losing friends like i'm losing sleep
apologies don't work, and neither do sheep
don't go, because i want you to stay
but don't lie to me, you're leaving someday

Us Suicidal People

We don’t see the carrots to be cut,
We see the sharp knife that could cut us.

We don’t see the bridge,
We see the other side of the railings.

We don’t see painkillers,
We see medication we could drown ourselves in.

We don’t see the train,
We see the tracks we could lay on.

We don’t see the nice view,
We see the cliff's edge we could jump off.

Me and You

I fell in love with the idea
That there is greater me and a greater you
As there were war in solace and peace to menace
Grief to heartful and bliss to mourn
I fell in love with the idea
That there were two you as there were two me
As there were two hearts
As there were two falls
