pretty crushed

Am I dead?
Or is it all in my head?
Broken by all that was said
Now, I slowly mend.

Pieces of me
Scattered all over
Hurting so bad
For letting me go
Or didn't you know?
You were all that I have.

Just this once
Let me escape
To another place
Running in haste
Away from here.

It's better to be dead
Than to see you even in my head
Wishing tears would fall
Just to get out from this blackhole.

You're long dead
Buried in my head
Unluckily
I still have my memory.

(written before recurring dreams)


dead to the world

Days simply passed me by - unfeeling, unseeing, unknowing everything else except the meaningless things of the present. I've forgotten how it is to be crazy with simple happiness and even its extreme opposite, how to it is to be dying with cruel heartache. Yes, I am a breathing fool who refuses to live, laugh and be hurt again until someone special will make me forget about everything real and cynical in this world.

Please disappear from this place forever. The tears of yesterday keep on trying to reach out its hands... Though protected by such high walls and barriers, I'd rather be left alone by a past I can't change nor go back to. Memories of lies, pain and ultimate betrayal by a young love... Like a breathing fool, I lost through it all. Before, I had no fear though you were all I had. You were the death of me when you walked away. It doesn't make it easier knowing that you're gone but not happy as you wanted it to be.

I don't know your thoughts and your face anymore. There's no room for regrets. Everything's behind us now. Remember when we fell in love, for the last time. Then erase the past. Coz now we're back to being strangers at last.

N.B. I know you're long gone. I've accepted our fate. But just like the way a certain song goes, "I'll always remember the way we cared for our time". So maybe once in a while, tears would still fall on my cheeks after all.

recurring dreams

stubborn dreams that persist
fighting for the right
other paths and chances missed
yet desired destiny and i collide.

doubts infused on my mind
i desperately evade
disastrous mistakes i leave behind
all the past choices i've made.

drowning in a pit of uncertainties
i swim through them all
treasuring all the memories
standing still after every fall.
