the idea

the idea is fantastical
a strange fantasy
an illogical make believe
a made up string
a fleeted fling

the idea remains an idea
suppressed down below
swimming to the surface
destroy it, save my face
leave it without a trace

teaching the mirror
if only mirrors could talk
then i might not be so alone
trapped in my own thoughts

"make it make sense" 
the undertones of those beatings
i surrender and i accept my loss
now stop filling the space of my reasonings

let me sleep
and let me be in peace

making my bed

i am guilty of lost hope
of broken promises
of forgotten dreams
of unintentional oath
one step a mistake
two steps too late
unity was a lie
of what's left unsaid

the guilt is creeping up on me
i hope you found peace
i hope your blood kin never encounter those of me
some deserves better
and some couldn't be better

forgive me
i'm trying to forgive myself

the pathological grief

i grieved in my sleep
tears swelled over closed eyelids
they came unannounced, the scenes of the deep
from the past to the future, the pangs still hit
even in dreams i am yet to get over it
sometimes dreams are the realities, and the reality is just something you dream of ?
maybe
