Words of the Broken and the Lover

Depth

Written on: October 24, 2017

Deep and shallow
My heart wallows,
        in pain, in love, in confusion, in darkness.
It succumbs and therefore, it unites with the eerie night
       unwillingly becoming one.

Flowing rivers and waterfalls
      a supply of never-ending tears.
Cliché my poem is, yet what is there to look forward in later years.
Legend of love and tales of woe
      I have none but an empty glow.

Scarred is my key to the dimly light I am now.
Pieces and brokenness,
      until when could I stay strong?
All day long, the thought of me being wrong
      is like an infinite song.

I am the star that failed to light
    yet I still wonder why the gods kept prolonging my life.
When I am the cause of sorrow of those who are in despair.
The reason why those who are in forlorn cannot find solace
     in the night.

Dreams, imagination and tired eyes.
In the comfort of agony, longing of butterflies and paradise.
When will I heal from the paralysis of nightmare?
Take me to the wonderland where all things good never ends,
    while my body lies in my virgin blood and have the eternal youth.
