I didn't know such irony exists; how easily you can be destroyed by the only thing that keeps you whole.

-

A part of you
is still engraved in me.
A part of you,
in exchange for a part of me.
A part of us,
forever will be.

Spending the past few months alone,
I was able to master the art of making peace with myself.
My inner demons weren't really frightening anymore.
I embraced the darkness-my own darkness.
And I have never felt this free.

-

I thought I needed it
I thought I knew what it was
But I was nothing but a fool

I thought l knew what it was
I thought I needed it at that time
But love left for me to realize
The love that was mine

-

my inability to just give up.
I can't do it. No, I refuse to do so.
I've already achieved a lot.
I've come so far to give up now.
I'm exhausted, yes. It's hard, okay.
But that's not enough to make me stop.
Things always fall apart.
But I won't.
Not now, not ever.

-

I wonder,
What would life be?
How dull?
How dark?
How lifeless?
Without a thing that we refer to almost everything.

There was a time in my life that I believed in princes and castles and true love's kiss.
However, it was short-lived.
Maybe because I saw reality and chased for it.
That love's not perfect and definitely not a fairytale with a happy ending.
Love is bare and raw.
From your body, mind and your soul.
And by the time you knew what it was,
it could be the start or
it could be the end of it all.

-

It wasn't love the first time my eyes found yours.
Nor was the second or a thousand times more.
It took years, clearly emphasizing that it wasn't like lightning and fire. It was slow. So slow that when I somehow knew it was coming, I still didn't expect it. Like the waters when there's a storm brewing. It was calming. So calming that it knocked me off my feet, drowning me with emotions I recognize but unable to name. That's when I realized too, that I can never love someone else the same.

-

Move on from the pain
The pain you've brought
Along with the rain
But then, you look at me
and the sun shines again
The pain you've caused,
again starts to mend.
Now, where was I?
I should move on but
I knew I just can't.

-

Death isn't my greatest fear.
It had always fascinated me,
you know- the science of it all.
The mystery that lies to
where you will go
and what will you find.
Lastly, the truth that we're gonna
end up the same all along,
buried six feet underground.
