“The Fourth”

They say trios don’t work.

But somehow,

the three of you

do.

And then there’s me.

The fourth.

The afterthought.

Plan D.

I laugh when you laugh.

I stand beside you.

But I never quite

belong.

You’re a series.

Tightly written.

Familiar and warm.

And I?

I’m the guest character

that shows up

every few episodes.

Forgettable.

Replaceable.

I want to belong.

I want to be part of the “we”

that you say out loud.

But I feel like

I’m watching

from behind the glass.

Close enough to touch—

but never to hold.

What’s wrong with me

that I can be there

and still not matter?

I try to shrink myself

to fit in.

But no one notices

the spaces I break

just to be small enough.

And maybe

you never meant to leave me out.

But that doesn’t make it

hurt less.

New Beginnings (prose text)

The air was cool, yet it carried the scent of a summer that hadn't quite faded. It clings to the dusty ground, to parched blades of grass, and between the pages of an open notebook.

Even though a few days of summer still lie ahead, I know how quickly time passes. Days drift by like images in a slideshow—never pausing, never giving us the chance to linger on any single one.

This summer is unlike any other. It is a beginning, but also an end.

A touch of freedom, a touch of a cage.

Unknown paths are opening up before me, while others are closing forever. A new life lies ahead—yet I do not know if I am ready for what is to come, or for all that I must leave behind.

Four Days Ago

TRIGGERWARNING: Suicide

Four days ago,

you crossed my mind.

A passing thought—

quiet,

unexplained.

Three days ago,

I saw you.

A face I once knew

from smoke and silence,

from school

Yesterday,

you jumped.

And today,

I found out.

Were you out that night?

Did you laugh,

drink,

light one last cigarette?

Or were you already

somewhere else—

far away

in your own mind?

Was the world

too loud?

Too heavy?

Too much?

What broke

at 5:00 a.m.

on a bridge

between darkness

and too much light?

I wish

I could ask.

I wish

you could answer.

But all I have now

are questions

and

the echo

of your absence.

You weren’t close—

but now you’re gone,

and somehow

I feel it anyway.

Maybe it’s because

we once shared silence

and cigarettes

and a moment

that now echoes too loud.

[ashesinverses]

yesterday, a year ago… 🕊️

[ashesinverses]

My reflection,

a deepfake,

in pale contours.

Electric shocks travel along my skin.

I…

…a power line pylon.

Losing has always been a form of becoming—why is it different now?

I have lost my voice. I have thought this often before, but never has it felt as final as it does now.

I can no longer commit either of my languages ​​to paper. Usually, whenever I lost my connection to one language, the other was there to take its place. Now, there is nothing left. Perhaps it was because my critical eye grew ever sharper—because I had to admit to myself that almost everything I write sounds too generic, too inauthentic.

But that should never have stopped me from picking up a pen. For writing has always been a reflex—a need that simply had to be satisfied.

I believe it still is;

but why should I do something that only fuels my self-doubt and heightens my frustration?

Perhaps I haven’t lost my voice at all.

I drove it away with perfectionism—let it merge with that obsession until using it became too painful to bear.

I miss writing, yet at the same time, I hate what it now triggers within me.

I simply miss being able to write without that voice—the one that judges me for every word, every sentence.

[ashesinverses]

My head sinks

between paper

and scratching pencils,

my heart squeezed

tight in a corset,

while thoughts flicker

before my eyes

can catch them.

[ashesinverses]

Everything I love, I hide in the thicket of my dreams

I know, I know, but the closer you get to your original exposure to media, the more accurate insight you'll gain. - says science, not me

To all my Tolkien stans, I have some very high profile candidates for my top but I insist on first READING THE SILMARILLION and some other Legendarium stuff so bear with me guys, please!

Until then, some honourable mentions:

Finrod and his sister (he only has the one and it was about time we refered to her as Finrod's sister instead of only the other way around just this once, Gal would have wanted this in honour of her beloved Finrod),

Aragorn x Arwen x Elrond (Aragorn's fam)

Luthien

The prettiest girl I've ever know

The sun is shining so brightly today, she is hiding under the shade, endearingly. Her favorite color stretches vast above her head, the space where birds and planes fly.

The park bench is her old, sole companion, the cold river keeps flowing near her feet, reminding her that bad pieces will be swept away, leaving only the good and steady rocks to stay.

She hates that she couldn’t write anything, her pages blank, her head pretty quiet, but that doesn’t make her any less. I hope she enjoys the fresh air of spring.

She is always so beautiful in my eyes, those little things she is insecure about, I just can’t see what she points at, everything about her is just gorgeous, but that’s simply because she is who she is.

I’d love to be with her till the end of my time, and I’m sorry that I’ll be useless once I die. I pray that she’ll find her true happiness, that she starts to fall in love with being alive.

Candles glow

once a year,

flickering before my eyes,

while I wish

to be someone else.

Icing,

an idiotic costume,

for numbers that rain down on me,

every day.

[ashesinverses]

28.04.2026

Tomorrow I'll lose you,

in a way that even reality couldn't achieve.

Everything that never was,

everything that should have been

breathes out one last time tonight.

The cocoon of naive hope

breaks apart tomorrow.

And I must spread my wings,

the bitter taste

of unfulfilled desires on my tongue.

[ashesinverses]

My own name,

bitterly melting on my tongue,

my reflection,

an old photograph,

stored in old boxes,

my skin a costume,

sewn by your eyes,

fingers that are not mine,

stitch by stitch.

[ashesinverses]

Your hands

in my chest,

my beating heart

between cold fingers,

the two of us,

standing still.

Eyes that say nothing,

Gazing trembled,

yet not averting.

Deaf-mute, screaming

version 2

[ashesinverses]

You’re standing on the roof,

while I’m lying in the basement,

cold concrete under my fingers,

to remind me

that I’m still breathing.
