I confess,
I do not know if I will make it.
The road ahead is long.
My time here is short.

I have heard
that the end of each journey
is just the start of another.
I hold these words closely
as I walk into the encroaching night.

I feel like I'm withering away in decay as the world slowly crumbles around me
I'm not the only one
Others are fading too
Some faster some slower
It's not a race against each other but against time itself
How much time do I have left to be complete
I've never been the whole puzzle just random bits and pieces
What kind of vision could I create in this chaos
A collage of eternal suffering
Or an epiphany of everlasting utopia

You see that?
That's a whole
City on fire
The war will
End.. soon
But before
That, a lot
More people
Have to die

For what is work?
To be complete.

What is strength?
The death of defeat.

Love, as well,
Is to rest one's feet.

Forces and their ends
Must meet.

Then I ask you,
What remains past death
A worthy edifice to seek?
A thought about the physical termination of energy in physics expanded in consideration of our own human values.

I'm hiding Myself,
behind this curtain of 'Rain'.
My Life, has committed Sins
and I'm now, feeling the Pain.
I'm tired of listening,
to the sound of My Tears.
They've been falling and falling,
for way too many Years.
Finally, I reached to God.
With both My Hands Folded.
He kept counting, My Sins
and in the end, had Me Scolded.
Satan stopped counting My Sins,
as they never seem to End.
He pushed a note down My Door,
"No place Here, for U My Friend"

When the floating moment passes
Everything crashes down.
A second, a millisecond, a microsecond
Itโ€™s short and long and short once more.

Nobody expects the end.
But we know it is coming
Because it always does.

The wind whispers to me:

๐‘”๐‘œ๐‘œ๐’น๐’ท๐“Ž๐‘’
Iโ€™ve been really busy with school, so I havenโ€™t posted in forever lol

Also, a friend of mine is like weirdly against italics, t h i s, and boldโ€ฆwhatโ€™s your opinion on that?

I know I totally overuse emphasis XD

itโ€™s so hard to stomach it
that i would feel freer without your grip
to leap from the cascade of waterfall
blood in the water
stab wound under the blouse
itโ€™s a woman killer,
staying put.
that when itโ€™s airplanes plummeting from the gaping sky,
or when itโ€™s thrashing swords,
itโ€™s better to just stay silent
or run away
but how come running away is so tricky?
to just move those little feet
and leave the ditch you lay in
for blooming gardens and sky-kissing cities
but itโ€™s impossible.
bruises gather on satin skin
snake bites bubble
and tears slip
and
the realization hits
but doesnโ€™t hit hard enough
and itโ€™s just sitting in trenches
waiting for the enemy to consume
me
but itโ€™s a slow burn
and
it burns so terribly.
i have remained unspoken
i have let the automobiles crash into my haven
i have given them a place to rest,
a place to stay in
and i
regret it.
regret meeting you
regret encouraging you
regret being anything near you.
youโ€™ll stare at my grave in the ground
and youโ€™ll just shrug it off,
move some dirt over it,
but it only covers the evidence
not the girl that sits
with her knees clenched
sobbing in fits
of anguish
caused by your tyrannical hunger
to give life to lonely people
and then take it away.

yet sometimes the water is calm;
there are no ripples caused by incongruity
no collapsing dams, no inundations
just peace.
and itโ€™s safe in this place
i say
but one ever knows when rain
might be too heavy
and one never knows when their house is about to get flooded.

all i do is damage myself for you.
um..it feels like i should be running like a cheetah in the opposite direction, but why canโ€™t i?? what do i feel like i owe you??
