Our Bedroom on a Dusty Morning

 The world has abandoned me now
When will it be your turn 
To burn our memories
And throw my ashes in the clouds?

Tell me, baby
Did it hurt when you woke up that morning
And I was nowhere to be seen?
Because it sure killed me
When I relapsed thinking of you
I can't stay clean for long.

No, my skin can't stay untouched for long
No, not when you're still here
Here, among all the things
I love, but utterly fear.

One night, lying in our bed
With you by my side
I couldn't rest
So I turned to face the moonlight
And cried instead.

Tell me, baby
Did it hurt when you woke up that morning
And I was nowhere to be seen?
You promised to give me the world
Yet now I'm reminiscing
Wondering if I was ever worth it at all.

You know you're an addiction
It hurts to keep feeding
But I can't quit cutting.
One day, you keep me from dying
The others... reek of desperation.

I hide razor blades in my vanity
But hoped that you'd find and take them away from me
But no, you saw the scars on my arms
and didn't bat an eye. 

Now I know, baby
When you woke up that morning
and I was nowhere to be seen
There was a sigh of relief
Before you reluctantly opened your phone
To one last missed call, gleaming on the screen.

From me, to you
Now, forever.

Voices

         I don't know how, but I definitely need to get rid of my suicidal thoughts. There's too many of them, clouding and webbing up neurons of my brain —one by one.      The truth is: I've been hearing voices.  There's no way to end all this unless you die     it's behind you, it's chasing you —always kill yourself. kill yourself and end it all for everyone else, too. it's easy as one step....end the torture you know what? just fucking pull the tr—     The voices that latch themselves onto my spine without my permission, grapple my heart and squeeze it tight. The voices that are slowly snacking on my bone marrow, are now waiting for me to crumble just so they could feast on my mind, on my head that will soon be nothing but a skull of sloppy, tissues-like jelly, blood, and dirt.      So many times I have let those voices win. They were never there for me when I'm at my weakest, they're only there to make m...

What I Left and What Left Me

Image
  I thought I left my childhood behind with the country when I moved away, but I didn’t. The ghosts of the country haunt me, the scents and tastes of those years gnaw at me, the vague faces in homesick reveries grip me by the throat, rasping and whimpering about an uncompleted promise I once made.  And they won’t ever leave.       My childhood does not die at once, but multiple times throughout my life, reminding me of a life I had to reluctantly let go of. It died when I noticed that I no longer want to look back at the younger version of myself. It died again when I stepped off the plane into a land of foreign tongues, like an unfitting trespasser. Fragment by fragment, I tried to grip at the fading memories and begged them to stay—but they never listened. They keep on moving, keep on changing, keep on replacing themselves until the only thing left is broken shards of the life I once had. That life will never return, and I left so soon that I can’t ev...

Rotten Honey

      Today is me and my wife's two years anniversary. I was away on a business trip last year, but I'm home now. I can't wait to spend the day with her.      It was only 8 a.m when I woke up, sunshine streaming lazily through the cracks of the curtains. My eyes opened slowly—it is unusually bright today despise it being the middle of winter and there are more clouds than there is sun. I sat up, looking groggily around the room. My wife is nowhere to be seen. This has been going on for a while, probably since I caught her having an affair with one of my colleagues a week ago (or, as I awkwardly refer to it: "The Incident"). I did not make a fuss out of it, but she has been avoiding me by spending her time lounging in our basement. We'd go to bed together at night, then I'd wake up all alone, nostrils stinging from a pungent smell of room freshener.      My wife suddenly developed a penchant for that smell, so she began to use it for our ...
