    Should I sit here, grateful that for once I had you, even though I cry every day remembering how I wanted to be loved? Remembering the flowers I would never receive, the silly questions I would never hear, the hand that would never be held, the compliments I would never get, and many more wishes that for a moment became reality—only to vanish in the blink of an eye, to be revisited only in my dreams?

    It feels like trying to tame a lightning. Something so brazen yet delicate, hostile yet intricate, a book you'd spend years studying for and yet you have not once truly understood it without skimming through the pages every time you're tested with a question; and that question often leaps out of yourself, in the middle of the night, wondering if everything is worth it.

    Why shame a thunder for striking? Isn't that its whole purpose?

    Seriously, how do you live with this? How do you live knowing you have these scary thoughts in your head?

    i used to call out your name repeatedly and far along the way i thought it probably annoyed you. but i kept doing it again. and again. and again. but i called out your name in search of a familiar tone, that particular way you rolled your tongue murmuring an answer — a melody that can only be composed out of luck and pure happenstance.

    i don’t have a sense of home. what i have are merely wooded hollows and four walls thinly dusted with age — silent witnesses and accomplices to my tear-jerking crimes and light midnight screams. home to me is a room to myself, a secluded area that grants me solitude in which i can hear myself think.

  • nothing — and every feeling that follows

    posted on Dec 11, 2023

    There’s a vacant space inside my heart that I don’t think can ever be filled. I cherish my quiet life, my dusty bookshelf, my dustier floors, and my quieter cellphone. No sense of accountability, no good morning texts, no “have you eaten yet?”, no sense of vague questions in a much more vivid relationship.

    loneliness isn't too bad when you have a great dad.

    will it hurt less if you knew from the start? or is pain incomparable when it's beyond measure?

  • love is a losing game

    posted on Jan 11, 2023

    love is nothing but a yearned prelude to pain, like a moth to a flame, leading itself to its ultimate demise. as if I was one with the waves, seeking the shore only to hit the rocks and scatter everywhere.
