Aftermath

You saved my life

The day you first said my name

Voice laced with distaste

But it healed me anyway

I always knew

My name belonged on your lips

And those lips belonged on mine

Our robes swirled

A tapestry, scarlet and emerald

As I pinned you against the wall

But you didn't stay

Now the world knows your name

While mine lies in tatters

I wait for you to save me again

I need you

To say my name

[quinoxpoetry]

To unrequited love. The tremendous and everlasting one-sided pull. 🖤

Brief Immortality

A time-lost wanderer stuck on aspirations

Of knowing that this moment is brief.

A few familiar faces linger around,

As time remains constant for them

While my moments here are brief.

The curse of immortality makes the years into seconds,

A small blip of existence that gets forgotten.

They’ll be gone when time marches on,

And why should I get attached to someone so fleeting?

I’ll remain longer than them when the clock strikes midnight.

A body turns to ash then earth,

I stand near their graves in silence.

Unable to cherish something so impactful

When they disappear in a cosmic second

And getting attached means more pain when the bells toll. 

Wilted ambitions for cheerful banter,

Faded desire for small talk.

I can’t get the feeling of a connection,

Suppress the butterflies and keep the heart’s pace

So that when the dust settles I won’t grieve their memory.

Mars

He waited at the back door, green lights shards on his eyes, overlapping those colourless irises. He lost his light at the tapping ground, busking at the subway, it was a sunny but pallid afternoon upon. His name was Mars. And he knew nobody but himself.

Another poem about what would have been if I had chosen to be with him.

Ode to Gliese

To the one who resides

16 light years away from here

Let me ask you to travel

Through Speed

In Light

The Memories

You live in an absurd space

A place moving slower in time

You pace slower than me

And although I'm swifter

I wish I was slow, probably slower than you.

You're seeing something different, a different me in a different time

A girl with an intact life

A complete heart

And an unharmed body

A dream in the mind

O Gliese, I wish I could leave earth

Intergalactic travel

Speed light memories

A flash, a bang, an explosion

Journey through the limits of time.

Time is all we need

Time turns, bends, kills,mends

Time's pace determines my life

Times has been harsher here.

To GJ 1002

If you could read this, I hope you do

To you who sees the me 16 years ago

To you who sees me with an unfractured heart

To you who sees me riding the bike with my grandfather

I hope you see that I've never faltered

I was not always like this

I was whole once

I was a child once

An adult thrice and over

But 21 years of life has it's perks

And more and more

Gliese who resides 16 years

Away from me

I hope you understand

You understand that I was once too full of life like you

I too was full of life and more

But now I'm a dying star

I wish you'd grant me your vision

So I can see what life is again

I am sorry for the failures you're about to see

But Gliese

Oh what if

What if Gliese you see me happy again?

- Yasha (self penned)

Unaccounted

The sad part about war among many other things is that there will be some who will leave the earth without a trace of ever having been here. Who, what, where, why, how? How is this, war?Who is the enemy here?New born babies, pregnant mothers?School going children? Patients? Doctors?Teachers? Mall shoppers? Isn’t this genocide?What do we call those who kill indiscriminately?Bullies? War…

please open me (TW: GORE)

please open me, open my brain so that you can see what i’m thinking, open my chest so you know how fast my heart beats, open me so that i can freely tell you everything

please open me, open my heart so you know how i feel, open my leg so you know how i move, open my mind so you know what i want

please understand me, understand me like you are me, understand me like you predicted everything, understand me like you knew it would happen

please understand me, open me like you can understand me

open me like you want to open me.

understand me like you want to understand me.

It is another one of those days, when I would rather be dead. God above, cannot make me fall out love. So I beg you instead, please rip my heart out of my chest.

Never in my life I would have thought, that such beautiful thing would make me wanna die so much. Do you ever think of me? Do you ever dream about me? Do you miss me as much as I miss you? Do you even remember the feeling?

Or is it all just a phantom haunting me? Is it just my head fucking with me? Am I hoping for something that died long time ago? Am I praying for someone who already left this realm?

I do not want to move on, for I love you too much to do so. I know you wish I would, you pray I would move forward. But I refuse to do so. For I promised myself to you.

You would have to kill me first, before I throw my feelings away. So, again I shall beg, rip my heart out of my chest. For I shall be dead, than to stop loving you today.

when I’m away from you

When I’m away from you,

I dont know how to feel

my heart is turning too real

for you

but i’m sad,

but i’m glad i’m away from you

or maybe i do know how i feel

maybe there’s so many memories

maybe i haven’t gotten closure or clarity

just a memory of your kiss

that i couldn’t resist.

seems so bliss in my heart

but still, so sad.. when i’m away from you.

i’m glad, the pain still lingers in my thoughts

but not in my heart, because i still feel

like its still yours

all i can do is mourn

i’m still hurt by you, i feel buried

maybe because you got married,

when i’m away from you,

i’m still very very sad.

Untitled #3

Im so desperate to feel butterflies in my stomach

I keep shoving moths in my mouth

Wanting nothing more then flowers blooming in my chest

I’m clawing my hands through the mud

Why can’t I wash the grief from my finger nails

From my hands

From my fingers

No soap can clean away the mess of pain

She always used to take my breath away

But one day she didn’t give it back

So how am I supposed to breathe

The same way

Or at all

Hugs don’t feel safe

Hands don’t feel kind

And lips don’t feel real

All I want is love that is real

But what in left with is gash

An open wound

[punkmeetspastel]

I always believed In right person, wrong time because you were it for me. My person, my missing half. Now, you're 4 years of lost love too young to know better too old to risk trying 4 years of yearning... but she'll get everything I so foolishly believed I was earning; is this learning? If growing up means watching your wedding from the back and living life without you, I want to stop growing.

AS THE PETALS STEAL MY YEARS AWAY

They were blue, 

The colour of a summer sky, the hues of your favourite dress, 

When you told me you loved him. 

They curled at the edges, 

Colouring my cold tiles in sapphire. 

Forget-me-not, such a funny name. 

I wonder if you would forget, when my name doesn’t appear in your phone. 

When I’m six feet under, worlds away from cradling you in my arms. 

Like in the dreams every night before I jerk awake. 

I’m here lying on the tiles you picked for me, white like the colour of your skin

When that day you broke down in my arms, when he cheated on you. 

Oh, I wanted to hold you longer, my love. 

Wanted to keep you safe. 

Remember when I said I’ll be back? I meant it. 

I wanted to keep coming back until you saw me. 

Until the red in your new dress turned blue. 

Because he told you, 

“Darling, you look better in red.” 

But here you are, 

Hanging onto his arm again, believing all the saccharine lies.

Wasting your years away with his elixir of deception.

While I’m leaning over my sink, 

Coughing up the dregs of love you’ve left, 

Wondering if you’ll ever love me, 

As the petals steal my years away. 

FOR @shibalen here's the hanahaki one. I just wrung this up cuz i don't have time to write a fic sniff. it's been ages since i last wrote so pardon the mistakes my love.

Remedy to Clarity

When you let go of the perception of sanity,

A tingle of uncertainty forms,

Blossoming like a tainted lotus.

Take a bite of the succulent lotus

And cast away the world.

Ribbons flee the mind,

Stripping away what is real.

The floors pulsate and pendulums swing,

A stranger in the mirror,

I keep indulging on the corrupted lotus

To remedy my clarity;

Finding the real to be a curse.

[shxpoetry]

I left the vices on a drawer in my bedroom,

he tells me he doesn’t like it when I smoke, so I quit,

I say I don’t like that I always feel used when I’m with him, so he tells me I am crazy and he needs time away from me to think,

the mirror tells me I am crazy, to cry, to beg, to crawl back and want to be used,

I know he is loving others and lying to my face, but I can’t help to feel like I am lying to his too,

my mother is worried that if I ask for too much I will never receive anything,

perhaps she’s scared I’ll die alone,

perhaps she doesn’t see that I can’t die alone if I die with all the things I have worked for,

once I get up and realize I am nothing but one of millions of dots in the realm of time,

I am not scared.
