And the walls came tumbling town,
as the birds cried bloody hallelujah.
Your arms disappeared as the city destroyed itself,
as thousands of homes were obliterated.
The city skyscrapers no longer held us together,
but a conscientious thought that lingered in my mind.

The temperature plummeted.
Another city came down again.
Another tremor between us.

Oh, the murder! They flew away.
As the bodies lay scattered on the ground. Motionless.
With shocked looks on their faces, frozen in time.

The earthquake that came between us,
divided roads like it divided our hearts.
One last time will we endure this.
One last prayer will be left unanswered.

And we will be the last to perish; to fall.
Looking through the eyes of a camera,
what has become of this bitter world.

Acknowledging the flaws of human existence;
in love.

I wake up to find myself on the floor, motionless, and scared.

“Why are you here?” I think to myself.  I try to say the words but nothing comes out. I can see your face, but why are you here.

I feel dizzy, who’s shaking me?  “Can you hear me…?” I hear far off in the distance. Who is that? And why do they care…?

Oh, it’s you.  “You’re going to be okay” someone says.  But I’m not okay, I’m never okay.

You say you love me, but you don’t.

I know you’re here for me, but you’re never there.

I know you’re right besides me, but I see someone else.

How I try to say those words, I know you’re right in front of me, I can see your face, but why can’t I move, why can’t I open my mouth, what’s wrong with me?

But, you’re only a figure of my imagination, something that ceases to exist, a memory. Lasting only in the back of my mind, appearing every once in awhile, but why now. Why at this moment, this moment where everything appears vivid to me, a vortex of thoughts. Spinning me, confusing me. But why do I want to talk to you… what is that urge.

I want to tell you, how much you mean to me?   … No.

I want to tell you, how much you hurt me?    … Maybe.

I hear sirens, maybe it’s your voice, and oh how that eerie voice lingers in my ears. It’s like a sad melody that never ends. Depressing.

“Her body is in a state of shock” someone shouts. “MOVE OUT OF THE WAY!” another calls.   I don’t even know what’s happening. What is happening? They seem to know.

Something cold drops onto my face, like a tap, leaking. Emotions that I’ve never felt before come rushing to me. What is this?

A bumpy ride, ahead of me. But I know you’re still there, looking at me, so gloomy.

“Do you know what’s wrong with her?” someone asks. “She has…” another replies.  What I have, I cannot remember.

Who was that replying for me? Why cannot I talk for myself? …What’s wrong with me! I’m motionless, cannot speak and nothing seems right, not at all.

“There’s nothing… do… her” I hear someone say. Things are becoming unclear now.  “We need to… support… save…too” I hear another person say. I think it’s a doctor, but why am I at a hospital?

“She has amnesia, it’s really bad. And she sleepwalks a lot. We found her in the middle of a highway; she got hit by a car. She was apparently sleeping, the car did quite some damage and she’s now paralysed, I’m sorry but there’s nothing we can do for her.” The nurse told my mother.

All I could hear was wailing, sobbing, and crying. All I could hear was pain.

Tears flow down my cheeks, onto the pillow. I try to open my eyes, but I can’t.

I tried to yell, “Help me” but all that came out was “Ugh”

I tried to tell them to stop, but they could not hear me,

And there’s nothing that they could do.

It was inevitable… a lonely, sad, death.

A day I never wanted to anticipate… the time that you would never wanted to come, came. So I took my last breath as I felt my self plummet into oblivion.

Saying goodbye to what I had, and saying hello to the world to come.

“The thought of being away from you for so long never crossed my mind until it happened. Like a lost, wandering soul, I feel incomplete without you around me.” –

She stood in the doorway of her dormitory, homesick and tired; puffed and motionless. She had searched every single room in the campus, as big as the White House, in search for him, barging into every single room in search for the missing puzzle piece that completed her life.

It’s only when you lose everything,

then, and only then,

will you realise what means the most, who means the most, and why.

Illuminate;

To wish a wish called life; recreate this happiness.

I refuse to make this void.

Annihilate my soul.

Each duplicated with the number of times you told me those words.

Wrangling with this silence it seems.

My words are put to rest.

 

Worthlessness;

Emancipate my heart, this feeling has engulfed me.

Suppressing my will; disrupting the oscillations of my wakening.

This alacrity is despicable, and my words are now ineffective.

A nugatory law called fate; I have abashed my mind,

I have composed myself a melody comprising of irrational vexation.

So I sing this lullaby.

 

Chagrined you are, repugnancy flows through your veins.

The angels are dejected; so despondent it drives them insane.

Their tribulations cause to sunder their wings, and they fall.

Into the depths of hell, of sadness. Insane they are.

They are angels no longer, but soldiers waiting to die,

Waiting for the guillotine to fall.

They wait for God to save them, but he is gone.

Who will help them.

Nobody.

I want to know how it’ll end
I want to be sure of what it’ll cost
I want to strangle the stars for all they promised me
I want you to call me on your drug phone
I want to keep you alive so there is always the possibility of murder later
I want to be there when you learn the cost of desire
I want you to understand that my malevolence is just a way to win
I want the name of the ruiner
I want matches in case I have to suddenly burn
I want you to know that being kind is overrated
I want to write my secret across your sky
I want to watch you lose control
I want to watch you lose
I want to know exactly what it’s going to take
I want to see you insert yourself into glory
I want your touches to scar me so I’ll know where you’ve been
I want you to watch when I go down in flames
I want a list of atrocities done in your name
I want to reach my hand into the dark and feel what reaches back
I want to remember when my nightmares were clearer
I want to be there when your hot black rage rips wide open
I want to taste my own kind
I want to be wrapped in cold wet sheets to see if it’s different on this side
I want you to come on strong
I want to leave you out in the cold
I want the exact same thing… but different
I want some soft drugs.. some soft, soft drugs
I want to throw you
I want you to know I know
I want to know if you read me
I want to swing with my eyes shut and see what I hit
I want to know just how much you hate me so I can predict what you’ll do
I want you to know the wounds are self-inflicted
I want a controlling interest
I want to be somewhere beautiful when I die
I want to be your secret hater
I want to stop destroying you but I can’t
And I want and I want and I want
And I will always be hungry
And I want and I want and I want…
