i shoved the reality
at the corner of darkness
for i alone
was never brave enough
to face the dark
i put my pain
the melancholy
on your palms
knowing you are aware
made me calm
i bottled all the tears
to show everybody
how much it hurts
and how much i cried
i embraced your presence
allowed myself to be dependent
when all along i knew
it won't last for long
my heart, aching true
my mind, in chaos with the thoughts of you
and then i burned myself down
when i lost you
i wrapped myself with bandages
took painkillers
that only numbed me
for taking much too much
and yet here is the pain
lingering in my veins
yet here is the pain
breaking me into pieces
i thought i was saved
when you rose from nothingness
filling in all
the empty spaces
but you only break me
even more.
