My Rose

Here I lie under a tree
Fantasizing about you and me.
Even though these thoughts are not real,
There are words I never knew that I feel.
I love the way you hold me close
Like I’m you’re only purpose.
These thoughts are my rose,
Because they are attracting to oppose.
With the thorns I’m gripping on
Leaving me pain that is now gone.
The [...]

Waiting

All these men;
Those who’ve cared
And those who haven’t noticed.
While there I stand
With open arms and a loveable heart–
All of those times it was ripped apart.
I still wait for open arms
Cradling me in his arms
Holding me close.
He’ll hold me like the
Most delicate flower in the world.
Treating my heart as the flower.
He’ll love me till life’s end,
Refusing [...]

Cheater

Since                      That
Day, I couldn’t          Live the same
Play with my      emotions as if they are a game
You do not care     whether I die or live, you
Didn’t even care to       forgive. The love
Was only an illusion.      My heart was
Leaded into delusion.    While I’m
Skipping beats,           frozen from
Your deceits.          Now I’m
Lying [...]

We

Every scar
Every memory
Every lesson learned
Was because of you.
The blood that was shed
The tears that fell
The internal bleeding you caused
Was because of me.
Was it me
Was it you
Was it us?
Was it not meant to be?
We were young
We were foolish
We were crazy.
Now, we are no longer.

Claustrophobia

Memories of my past
I can see them,
And it’s harsh
How they last.
Memories of me
When I was young,
Singing a home-made tune
By the Big Tree.
Now I’m Grasping
The worms of my past,
Wriggling out of my hands
And into my skin.
Claustrophobic because I don’t know
Why I do what I do
Maybe to get more attention
When I have more so.
Now here I am,
Cramped [...]

Two of Me

Two of Me (Editor’s Choice Winner)
There I see,
Looking in the mirror,
Two of me.
I don’t know who is who.
I still search for the identity,
Searching for years and years.
Surrounded with an entity.
I don’t know where to go.
I’m still searching for one feeling
I see only dark.
I hear my skin peeling.
So many things I could be.
Still, I have to [...]
