Hopeless

A red sunset over the city
A single red rose inside my chest
I cannot breathe, the thorns hurt me
I cannot breathe, the petals scatter
Missing you, I suffocate...

A starry night over the city
Shimmering eyes spying over me
Loneliness acquires substance
And wraps its forcing arms
              around my weakened body

Thick dark clouds over the city
No sun, no light, no hope
I ache for a single sincere smile
I hide myself in delusions of beauty
Your absence, love,
              is going to be the end of me

self esteem issues

I watched the stars, thinking of you
I kissed him, as if he were you
All the little flickering lights in the sky
Frowned upon me, suddenly,
and the beauty of the night was through...

Poisonous words he has, poisonous lips
A perfect picture of everything I despise
Is beauty alone capable of invoking such weakness
Or am I still just a fool,
                                          slave to ancient instincts?

What has to be done, has to be done!
I have to pick up the scattered pieces
of my broken pride, one by one,
Put them all together, swear an oath,
And finally seal it all with my blood.
Let this be the last promise I broke,
This story survived more than it is worth
Let this be the last verse about it I write...

Just for it to know

I hate the world today...
