Poets don’t feel pain
I heard them say
But if poets are dead then what are poems
Half a memory, a broken promise
Hope is a rumour, a broken humor
I screamed to the stars
Stars are dead
Death is a whisper, a blue flicker
Blue silence, birds fly backwards
Humans are made of flesh and silence
Birds don’t mourn, they just fly
I'm not a bird cuz they don't cry
Humans bleed gold, humans bleed stars
Stars bleed wine, stars do lie
Poets lie, they always do
Lions fly, elephants are blue
Birds whisper poems
Veins write them with crows' feathers
Ink dripping like blood
Kings drink from broken cups
Kings with hollow eyes
Ink dripping from the sky
Forests remember what we forget
The night drives with broken headlights
Poets drown in their own ink
Musicians scream louder than kings
Ravens drink wine
Gold forgets to shine
Drums echo in the veins of musicians
Musicians drum with the bones of kings
Musicians whisper to the moon
Kings die still wearing their crowns
Snow bleeds, snow forgets
Humans dissolve into salt
Kings run barefoot
Models run without legs
Musicians play silence
Grass whispers secrets
Humans bleed gold, humans bleed stars
Without sugar you can’t make tarts
Poets bleed blue
Snow falls on ruins too
Birds sing blue
Birds vanish into snow
@Li Ha Have I ever been in love?
In a way i really wish i could drown in your eyes
And hide between ur lashes
So i can be where i feel the safest
I would wait for you to look into the mirror to get glimpses of you
And be happy that I'll forever stay inside you
I would make a map of your brain so i can read your thoughts
And spend hours changing the things that made u think it's your fault
I wouldn't dare go anywhere else if i could come to you now
I'd choose to drown in your eyes and stay there forever without any doubt
I would love to see the world from your eyes
I would love to see you from your eyes
I would go into your brain and fix it so you can see urself and fall in love
Maybe then you'll understand why i accepted those vows
I would kiss every part you think of as a "flaw"
I would kiss ur skin till it becomes red and raw
I would wait in a mirror for a thousand year if it means ill see you even once when you try to fix your hair
I would be kind for you, I'm really craving that
I'd love you forever and even after that
They say your love language is how you want to be loved
So i choose to love you then you and even me in the process
If i become a gas my molecule would rearrange themselves to spell your name
Even if it meant losing who I am
I'd love you enough to love myself
That's the kind of love i wish to give you
That's the kind of love i already have for you
So that you're never alone, never not loved
I'll spend all my years with you and it still won't be enough
@Li Ha Fall
I never thought you'd die
I never thought you'd make me cry
At first I caught just ur eyes
They made me feel butterflies
I thought it was just a lie
When i first saw ur smile
I knew it was ur last with time
I lost u forever, the thought was sour as lime
I thought it's okay it'll get better
And drew around my heart a barrier
But it didn't cure the hollowness inside
All i felt was empty instead
U were always present in my prayers
I regret not saying my goodbyes
Cuz i really need that closure
I was a young girl who lost her lover
I tried really hard not to fall
But u were as beautiful as fall
I think u did it on purpose
Made me love u then left us
How would this happen otherwise
It didn't take me long to realise
Maybe our love was fated
And I wouldn't wish to escape it
But i tried my best not to cross the line
And kept telling myself that it was fine
Then maybe, just maybe
If i didn't meet u baby
Maybe I wouldn't be this broken
For when my love was taken
For a moment I thought dying was better
Than feeling my heart shatter
I wish i knew that back then
Even though I'd do it all over again
@Li Ha " I didn't hit you when you were kids"
All i wanted was for the pain to end
I didn't wish for a magic wand
All I wanted to prove im worth
Why do they say im not enough
I swear the pain was real
Is it really wrong to feel
Cuz feeling grief isn't a mistake
All those tears were never fake
All i wanted was a hug
Not to be treated like a bug
Cuz my heart kept shattering
Shards of glass cutting my skin
I bled till i couldn't no more
Lying was never part of my core
Yet u never believed a word
U are so absurd
You made me ashamed of being sick
And for every mistake get a kick
I was scared of talking, of existing
Who knows what response im getting
Will it be u shaming me
Or u saying "why r u lying to me"
Why is being alive this though
All i wanted was to breath though
Isn't it normal for humans to fail
Ironic, cuz i didn't even fail
U would blame me cuz i didn't nail it
And add to every negative thing yet
I spent my whole life hating myself
Cuz desiring anything made me selfish
But i was just a kid
Why was i swimming in guilt
Loving urself isn't bad
That's what i try to tell my head
I wouldn't call it trauma
Cuz it's a huge chunk of my persona
Cuz it's scary to admit it
That their words actually hit
So deep, deeper than the ocean
Leaving me with wounds wide open
A heart that wasn't broken by a lover
A heart that never stopped loving her
"Everyone had it the same way"
What r u even trying to say
That i shouldn't be this burnt
That it shouldn't hurt
Cuz frantically it does
Im even scared of loud noises
They made me hate being home
There's a few streets that id like to roam
I love walking but they don't know
Cuz im never allowed to get out
They would proudly say they know me
The girl u know is barely a shadow of me
A ghost that would wear my skin
My voice but it lacks the confidence
It feels like my bones are collapsing
And my rib cage shrinking
I tried to be the girl they wanted
But even then they criticised
I would never let them know me
That's it, if i know who i am
