Your lips, my lips, apocalypse

Like the literal silver lining at the edge of a cloud ☁️

[ikarah]

I don't know about my strengths and weaknesses,

For strengths are not supposed to make you weep

and weaknesses are not supposed to be wrapped up in a woolen pashmina on a cold weather day

and lull you into complacent bliss.

[ikarah]

She was the victim of tortured screams and deepened scars.

Her eyes were filled with sorrow,

they yearned for the sun, the moon, and maybe even the stars.

[ikarah]

Forgiveness is fatal,

the forgiven, lethal.

[ikarah]

Lying on the bathroom's floor

Screaming till my throat aches.

[ikarah]

You slammed the door shut

But weren't you the one who flinched?

[ikarah]

There's blood on my fingers.

But it's not mine.

[ikarah]

There was so much written in the depths of her eyes

But you were illiterate, ignorant to the language of it.

[ikarah]

I always adored you love

and I am sure now death will too.

[ikarah]

I am tired of being the silent prayers of someone

I want to be the ballads sung proudly.

[ikarah]

If you tear apart this tapestry of scars

you will see the tangled mess that is my soul.

[ikarah]

Let me go.

I want to breathe properly for once without gasping.

[ikarah]

It's a suffocating story you can't bear.

[ikarah]

You deserve so much more, my love.

Trust me.

I know you don't trust yourself but

Trust me.

[ikarah]

So many wasted moments

reminiscing about you.

[ikarah]

There's something I want to say

But maybe not today.

[ikarah]

It's kinda funny

to hear that you are unworthy

from the ones who were supposed

to raise you to your worth.

[ikarah]

I saw you that day and felt

my heart fluttering,

my eyes eager to look at you, my ears dying to hear your voice

and my fingers desperate to touch those lips.

And when I saw you today, I felt a million shards of glass embedded into that same heart,

my eyes glistened with unshed tears,

my ears numbed to that voice,

and my fingers burned with a disgust so strong

that for the split second I saw you, I only felt

heartbreak.
