Into the Woods
Amidst the trees, I lose my fear
Their hushed wisdom draws me near
my paradise
if you must play songs:
play only in tragedy
for my heart knows only grief
prognosis
I trespass into the world beyond the living
in this mindscape, i see him— a deep entanglement
in a chasm of nothingness; faceless, he sits, he waits
The Voice In You
What happened to the voice in you?
I wonder if it's still there or hidden in an igloo
I wasn't expecting such an obvious clue
But the thought of it surely chasing you in blue
Misnomer
The town we live, where names
exist on each breath,
there’s a witch’s verdict
even in her dreams,
she could never escape
Dying Passion
Maybe it's the curse of adulting,
feels like little by little the fire in me is slowly fading,
I feel like what I want is not what I am meant for,
'cause everytime I try,
I get tired
Voices
Voices all around,
in my head, they can be found.
It's getting too much,
can't escape; I long for a hush.
