There has to be something that clenches my heart the day I decide to open it.

We often like pain either because we crave a relief, or because we need a valid excuse to pity ourselves.

And yet, the tragedy is that I think like my father but feel like my mother.

But some of us like cold because we want to feel warm without having to burn.

I didn't cry today,

So I think I am finally growing up.

If I live for 2 more months

I will finally be 7 years old.

My sister said its okay to cry.

She said even adults cry these days.

I don't want to cry again, though.

Because I am finally growing up.

And I am not scared anymore,

I have hid rocks under my pillow,

And in the kitchen,

And behind the curtains.

And in my mom's closet,

but without telling her.

She would be angry if she was here.

I wish she was angry.

I wish she was here.

Is it the story of your life or the journey to your death?

[urrrwaaa]

Your eyes, like the morning marmoris,

Tickled my heart in every way there is.

And celestial gestures that filled my lungs,

Until they grew flowers on all the surfaces.

Your voice in my head, mimicking a bird,

That flew several cities to join its herd.

I halved my soul and gave it to you,

In hope someday you would say the word.

But I drowned myself in search of your sea.

I cared a forest, you returned me a tree.

The tree that you cut to fill up your heart,

The tree that dried while rooting for me.

And now I sit under the seven skies,

Counting the stars that left your eyes.

As empty as the sky, as full as the ocean, how fragile it is, for a lover like me, to not feel love.

With the first sip of coffee, my heart goes warm, Its too warm it hurts, and my tongue is bitter, But it's the kind of bitterness that i want to stay, My eyes close slowly, as i lose myself in the fantasy, Its like i am drunk, but I've never been this sober.

To some I am quiet, to some unknown, and to some all I am is flesh and bone.

To me I am what I am to none, Perhaps not much, but I am someone.

A flower wouldn't comfort my soul when my grave was rained upon the entire night.

My mind has been a museum of your thoughts.

[urrrwaaa]

A sacred promise, the demise of fate. I conquered love and named it hate.
