I don't care for burned pages that I set in flames in hot tears and bustling winds of heavy breaths,

I don't care for lost paths and broken bridges that are covered with dead end roads,

I don't care for damaged thoughts and prideful opinions that mask sanity,

I don't care for your wants and needs that aren't mine to fulfill and satisfy.


  ~Some of them just don't get it. There is no growth for some.

He looked solemn standing in the moonlight on the edges of two worlds but so close to theirs. He watches them laugh, cry, love, live but when they finally come to him, they seem to look at him like he took them away to misery. The broken gaze they cast him as they fight tears back his way tugs at his heart. If it was what was supposed to happen why does it kill them inside to follow him down their eternity.

"Who are you? Why am I here? I want to go back."

He had heard this too many times. As though, it was his choice. This was all he had ever known. 'If his purpose was this despised, was it really worth it?' He often hated parting them from the life they seem to hate from the surface yet treasure.

"You can't. This is your home now."

And then he would see the hatred boiling in their veins.They would turn their face away out of fear but he could taste their murderous words of their minds like sour drink. 'What was it they had that I can't give?'

At first, it tasted like sun-beams with fresh smell and inviting ripes, ready to be devoured by angel-like souls who fed upon anything new, anything worth the race of their innocent little curious hearts. They bestowed knowledge, wisdom, the gift to individualistic pursuit, and the will to defy. It would lure in them with speculations and mysteries, disguising their true intentions.

At last, it tasted like slaughter in their mouths, mingled with tragic sight that broke their angel wings.  It would go rotten in their stomachs, slice their insides and gut their flesh, break their bones, making them mortal feeble dust. It would bestow death, sin, destruction, self-loathing. It would make them whine in madness as they slowly wither each day and night. It won't hide like before, instead it would take them for sinister pleasure called revenge.

Words called her to them like a mother calls her child, like a flame pulls the moth to surrender as though she would be the answer to every question and invent every little mashed letter into words that make sense.

Words of her father ever so present and alive since the day they were spoken shaped her thoughts into values and principles.

  Words of her mother ever so cut-throat and true were ever so sparking in the air ever since they were spoken into existence, revealing new truths as she grew older.

~now she knows, she belongs to words

My paradise was hidden beneath layers, protected from here and it seems to thrive in the shed I provided. It grips on to the mud of the earth and grows tall without sunlight.

And it lasted this long because it wasn't seen.

I am kind of glad that the only person you couldn't imitate was me. Everyone would think you are just like them, like you understand them, but darling you don't know a quarter of me and even if you did, you couldn't pretend to be someone like me.

When opposition and differences come so easily to you, you forget the influences of others and blame yourself for every wrong and immoral thought that crosses your mind but in fact when constant voices around you speak whether you wanted to listen to them or not, you have been in their presence.  You mustn't underestimate what you consume. You could change your views slowly but surely as the setting sun.

I never wanted your death to speak for me in the name of love. Because the greatest testimony of love was to continue living this hellish life. To loathe the separation from the other despite suffering here. To miss the absence of content for the greatness of love. To stand the test of time, to know how much it takes each day to love someone knowing their irredeemable flaws. To protect them from yourself and others when the situation calls for it. To accept the changes they go through everyday as you do. To know it is never about getting reciprocation, to never make them pay for the things you gave up for them. Your love should be a free gift that keeps on giving. I have often heard people say "I would die for you.", but living is the ultimate sacrifice you would pay for someone you love so pay it without wanting it in return.

If pain is not power, how come I am drunk on it? It feels like power because it gives me a reason to change my ways.

"Always the bridesmaid never the bride"

Standing on the edge, looking at happy souls dancing with church bells, she felt the calmness long after drought settled in between her soul.

Dreaming she was among white clothes and vows, she felt the rage lit the path long after ashes clung to her veil.

Black cat for a black soul as fitting as the tale of witches in forests,
They say the omen of death hovers above her as she lays among beasts,

Midnight scars and evening cuts as fitting as the lore of a woman in the shadows,
They say the unseen mind tortures itself every single time the night commences.

I think I have given her my eyes, the doors to new worlds resides in her.  I can't hold space for both of us and it created such horror for a spectator but oh what a relief it was to me. To be barren like a fallen leaf but still be met with rich grounds. I feel no need to gaze out into the outside and ponder at what a sight it was to see through a blurred vision. I don't want to figure how to behave in between catastrophes.

This earth is hostile to me. I thought it was because I wasn't who I was supposed to be. I blame the monstrous nature of my habitat on myself. If I had been more ruthless or more fearless, but nothing resisted me as my mind if I ever tried to come up with a excusable reason. It found no connection between the venom of my surroundings and me. I was just there. I existed somehow in the middle of my nightmares and they showered me with loss before I learned how to walk. It was a choice but not mine.

The earth was hostile to me. I could feel it in the sharpness of the wind, in the whispers of the meadows, in the slight brush of my untamed hair, or the gaze of an old hungry man. There was nothing that I did, but just because I was there. I drew breath among fallen angels and I sinned on my first breath. Was birth death in itself? It must be. It must be because I was seen as if I dared endure all this.

"People can only meet you as far as they have met themselves." And some are strangers to their own soul. It is disturbing to imagine what that would be like for the people around them.

Oh vain Jane, she sits on the edge of her dressing table, staring into the void of a mirror that reflects nothing of who she is,

Oh vain Jane, she trims and styles her luscious hair as though it would matter how it was glided down her slender shoulders,


Oh vain Jane, she seems out of this universe in that satin dress that she seems to fit into perfectly, bearing a grave of mad lore,

Oh vain Jane, she wants to hear herself but she is met with silence and this silence was worth a thousand words in the eyes of the beholder.

Must the bride be in veils to hide herself from spectators, cover the things that made her, her?
Must she be overshadowed by her outward beauty, convince everyone she is worthy to be in a white dress?

Must the groom expect another person to emerge from the piles of pearly garments, expect someone he has never seen to suddenly appear?
Must the groom be blinded by her irresistible face to finally take a step towards a life as one pair?

And of all the prices she paid, she dearly loved the one that she gave her blood to. Something about the scarlet identity of her soul breathing in the lungs of another was just so beautiful. Tattooed on another far from her sight and oftentimes her mind, lived another not knowing his veins needed her blood to even perish in peace.

And all of the waters she drowned in, she dearly loved the one that almost killed her, knocked her off her feet with it's force. Something about that force clung to her restless thoughts. Drawn on another amidst a deserted sanctuary lived an image of her clarify and the shape of her distortion, not knowing it too was birthed from suffocation.

But then what were you really fighting off, this dark ocean, the sharks or your reflection in the mirror? I could mimic your habits until you start to hate the way you are, the way you chose to become.

But then what is it really that challenges you, this empty city with curtain walls, these haunting eyes that remember everything? I could shape shift into your soul, until you can hear the shame of death from it's fame.
