Invasive
Dianali Jun 2021
Wild and twisted
The roots of your caring
Managed to stay in my heart.
I tried to **** them,
But they grew back

Conscious
Dianali Jun 2021
I am aware,
That you are not.
That this pain, my pain,
Is not yours.

Never good
Or just not good enough
There was something to
Your eyes, in me,
never worth to be fond of.
I wonder why she was,
while I was not,
In a rare case where a ghost
defeats real flesh
Real lust.

Me, with real flaws
And real love, and really,
Really hurt
By the waltz of the past
You made me dance
Till my feet bled,
And my body ached,
And my soul was broken,
And my dignity.. left.

But I’m aware,
That you are certainly not
that this pain, my pain
Will never be yours.

Unreachable
Dianali Jun 2021
I want nothing to do with you.
I am comfortable in the memories,
safe, knowing I made it through.
Aware of the outcome.
Dealing with the consequences—
Of the bittersweet experience,
The terrible rollercoaster,
Of your intermittent affection.

Unconditional
Dianali May 2021
It sickens me
How it occupied a part of my reason
The way I detailed a map of your heart
In exchange of
A sugarcoated rusty knife in my back

Scar
Dianali May 2021
Perhaps all your exes do better after you for a reason
Perhaps my words are aimed to hurt
                                      
                          You.

And now that I know they could,
I wouldn’t  mind if they do.
Cause perhaps I am still sour,
From the taste of your love
And its deep, light-consuming
hole in my soul.

Earworm
Dianali May 2021
You are like a song
              forever
                        Stuck in my head

Convalescent
Dianali May 2021
I remember the last time I walked to your house,
in my headphones, a song by the cure
‘The cure’.. A bit ironic, I thought
Cause I was so sick
So, so, sick,
of loving
you.

Another ending
Dianali Apr 2021
Can you imagine all the conversations we could’ve had?
All the songs we could’ve sung?

Mind trick
Dianali Apr 2021
Once again,
I’m sharing a life
With a past dream

Seaside
Dianali Apr 2021
Oh you come to my mind
In waves
And I want to drown
But my instinct makes me swim
Makes me survive
And when I reach the shore
I am safe
And grateful.

Comfortable
Dianali Apr 2021
I made a nest in my wounds
Please don’t cure me,
I don’t want to be cured.

Ghostly
Dianali Mar 2021
You are a ghost
But, oh, how I fancy you to scare me
Trapped in the past,
No other words casts.
If I have to be haunted,
Let it be you,
Let it be now.

Waltz
Dianali Mar 2021
I’ll imagine
I’m sending you a song
That I know
You’d love.
And in my head
we are dancing
to the rhythm
Of our once treasured
Now forgotten, bitter,
Love.
My favourite playlist, your soul

Party of two
Dianali Mar 2021
Sometimes I eat alone
seated across my thoughts
and I wish
you were here
to hear them
Set for two

Déjà vu
Dianali Mar 2021
You don’t exist in this universe
I’m living in,
the happiest version I’ve ever been
But then again,
Something is always missing.
a feeling that never fades

Edge of a memory
Dianali Mar 2021
You are just a stranger
In a familiar body
I’m still holding onto.
I knew you

Happy thought
Dianali Mar 2021
And you filled my life
with plants,
poems,
moans,
Unrealistic songs,
and happy riddles
then I realised
I was in the middle
of knowing
        you
            were
              home.
Caught myself smiling at your glance

Daydream
Dianali Mar 2021
I wonder
Was it a spell I was under?
I am awake,
And the world seems duller
It was better in my mind

Anniversary
Dianali Mar 2021
A formidable adversary
An even better rattle
In the anniversary of our last
soul-drowning battle

Long gone, every day further
My dearest enemy
no one got the glory
I’d surrender, but war is over.
You win, I don’t care anymore

Dianali Feb 2021
I write, I think, I write,
I agonise with the idea of my thoughts being heard,
I write again,
I let go.

Discovery
Dianali Feb 2021
Am I a soul or a set of skills?
Am I a woman or just your desire?
When will I be free from everyone’s perspectives?
And when will It burnt,
My fire

Past life
Dianali Feb 2021
I shifted into another universe
without you in it,
and it felt strange,
for a while.

Pov
An acquaintance
or
a parallel universe?

A lovely trace
Dianali Feb 2021
It’s plain and chaotic
And unique and divine
The beam of her caring
In every tender glance

Antagonist
Dianali Feb 2021
my mind just was
submerged in that daydream
Romance is
An illusion of a team
Reality would eventually hit
no scenario less fancied than this
Not thought of as devotee,
but as a rival I was seen.

Resistance
Dianali Feb 2021
Such a selfish thought
Being attached to the past
when it is understood
moments are not meant to last.
Change is braided with time,
Are we supposed to ignore that?

Time Machine
Dianali Feb 2021
As years go by,  I can only recall,
the same feeling of longing has always been in my bones.

Mistreatment
Dianali Feb 2021
I got used to be non-worthy
All of those years
Love given to me so poorly

old habits
Dianali Feb 2021
It’s the same floor
It’s the same bed
It’s the same line of the song I forget
Each year it’s the usual process
Remembering stuff that used to bother
All the lessons, unlearned
Regret flowing as tears down my face

It was real, at least a while
I wish it was a dream,
But past shouldn’t last all night.

Reality check
Dianali Jan 2021
You inspired me to arise,
to improve,
to survive.
I owe you nothing,
and
        everything
                           I have.
