Empty Shell

Hopelessness they said
might be the greatest misery of fools
for love is all they play
when no other lies remain to believe

I'm no fool, that's for sure
okay I lied where's the cure
can't help but tripped on an invisible thread 
and forever trapped between the jester's web

Never truly alone in solitude
yet feeling so lonely in despair
finding salvation in another's arms
for their bodily sensation and its warmth

loud moans beneath the full moon's glow
a desperate yearning for closeness grows
taking the role of dry tears
with echo of voiceless cries
too bad it won't take long
before all the tricks unveiled
and the nightmares haunt right away

just how can one fill another's half-empty heart
without first learning how to be whole
and how can one mend another's broken soul
without first finding their own role

Our Last Kiss

Please come back here for once I haven't had the chance to say a proper goodbye Leaving me dry, can you be more gentle? I was already parched without your presence And let us remember all the good old times Let the feeling drive us towards the unworldly heaven While the fear and bad dreams went ashtray And if you let me by your side For the last time before we part You don't want to know How badly I bleed Just to drown in your love  Just to taste your guts It's not perfect and we make it work We bite each other's skin But we also lick each other's wounds Because I know, you know Deep inside we're still lovers

The Worst Nightmare. Ever.

If you expect something horrible like getting chased by a serial killer with a knife or surviving a zombie apocalypse with limited supplies, the answer is no. You're dead wrong. That's not the kind of dreams what I intend to talk about.  So what is it? The worst nightmare is when I suddenly wake up out of nothing in the middle of the night. It's almost pitch black inside except, the light from LED lamp outside that manages to penetrate around the edges of my window (parts that not covered by the thick curtain). My body temperature, I believe, gets up about one or two degrees, leaving my clothes drenched in sweat and my face turns puffy and oily when touched. I'm feeling a little bit hazy of what's going on and the slight dizziness on the right part of my head is killing me for a second. I move my limbs a little bit and notice how stiff my muscles are after staying in the same position for a while. I wonder if I should rise to my feet and treat myself with a fresh wa...

I decided to be married at forty and have no kids

That was my final decision and it was not only based on a whim. People would mock me for being a coward and tell me I should act more like a man instead. They would say something like 'you have to find the right one and fight for her love'. No matter how much I disagreed with them even came up with some reasoning (or excuses they might say) why I thought of it that way, I wouldn't deny it nonetheless. What did they say, which I had to half-heartedly admit contain half-truth in it.  So why? If I concurred with some of their notion, what was the main reason then? Well, for once was too scared to lose someone again right now. I'd made mistakes in my life, I did hurt people, and when Kanye West said he was scared of the karma, so was I.  And also in this fast-changing and unpredictable world, who would have anticipated everything. 'At least you got someone who would be there for you' and what if they gave up on me? Because I couldn't guarantee that on that parti...
