Reminisce

I guess it will never be that easy.

To go back and wander around the places I loved and loathed so I can trace down the paths I used to take.
To have a glimpse of people’s portraits whose vivid visages bring nothing but almost forgotten memories I will always find hard to reminisce.
It will never be easy,
to open all the kept letters and read them as if it was not hard to walk down the memory lane over and over again for the same heartaches.
To constantly think you have never ruined yourself from trying to fix other’s damages while not minding all your unmendable wounds.

It’s cruel of you, luck.

You weren’t there to remind me everything’s short lived.
And that it was always a mistake to leave marks on my track for someone to follow to whilst going astray towards an avoided path.
I never realized I’m off the course until I reached the edge towards my pitfall.

It’s never my intention to keep everything unsaid and leave it on the corner of my head and pretend life’s only bliss.

It will never be easy,
to live inside that hope and to continuously build yourself every tumults aftermaths.

You have to live again.
Not as what you used to be; the shattered, lost one.

And I guess it will never be that easy.

a little messy place

the nights
have been dreary quiet
for quite a long time
gloomy skies,
inkless pens,
and chaotic rhymes—
nothing seems going right
scribbling words
on a torn out paper,
taking a sip from a coffee
that has gone cold
alone with all the blurry thoughts, left unheard in the deafening silence of a world.

a sudden, gentle breeze
enveloped his warmness
his eyes were
full of remorse
as he began reminiscence
alas, how could he
awake himself
from this nightmare?
being a bard
with no good words
to indite
is worse
than dwelling
in a beast’s lair.
the numbing
of his feet
is crescent—
his screams
ate the utter silence
yet no
one had
the desire
to listen.

his gaze found 
the tenebrous abyss of ether;
for some reason,
the comforting stars in the
sea of darkness did
not make her feel better.
would it be better to
go away?
is it a sign
of cowardice
for wanting to leave
everything
in disarray?
the effulgent moon with its stars
illuminated each corner
of the room
silence so deafening,
everything was embraced
by gloom
each memory
brought nothing
but agony
how could a man
breathe
while it’s long dead
already?
