You Made Me

 does your heart shrinks

your oxygen depleted

gasping for air


does your nerves break down

suddenly anxious

on pins and needles


does your cheek flushes red

body heating up

feverish


does your teeth shows

smiling all the way up

like a maniac


because mine does

that's what you made me do

Elly Mazlein - Dusta Cinta

Dusta Cinta - The Lies of Love

                        proceed for the lyrics' translation!

Repeated Sinner

Words

are a  mixture of letters

that made sounds when clumped together

creating spells both enchanting and poisonous


Words

are the melody I sang to You

so beautiful like a sprouting flower

blooming ever so healthily

only to realize the lack of fragrance


Words

that I poured out countless

hoping to be heard

are mere empty promises made

for actions, I don't partake

 

Loud coming out from the mouth

                                        but silent for gestures unseen

Do You?: Part III

Do You series

Part III

 

It doesn't hurt like it used to

    Like visiting a war museum

    The pictures so loud I feel the pain

    Then I walked out the door

    The exhibition has ended

 

It doesn't hurt like it used to

    Like an itchy mosquito bite

    Home remedy putting an 'X' across

    Soon the urge subsides

    Still there but scratch I need not

 

It doesn't hurt like it used to

    Like taking anesthetic while delivering      

    Struggling, but pain is not felt

    As the pain altered by the high

    A new life is born out of it

Do You?: Part II

Do You series

Part II


Memories etched in every muscles I have

    I swear, I have forgotten about you

    I have kept you locked in a faraway place

    I have behaved

    Though my mind whispered, "Why not."

 

Every now and then your name comes up

    I feel that tightness in my chest

    That echo in my mind running loud

    Loud but voiceless, soundless

    Still it hurts

 

Wound from my fall left scars on my skin

    but it no longer hurt or bleeds

    It closes and dried up

    Then why the you that I can't see

    Lingers and pained me

 

Time heals all but memories

    Seeping through my unconsciousness

    Filling all cracks without fail

    The smallest flame ignites

    and I remember it all

Do You?: Part I

Do You series

Part I


Physical pain versus memory that stabs me

every time I remember

and I do remember

just like I did before

I do it again


I used too dream the possibilities

of being the one you turn your head to

I was hopeful

but truth is not merciful

punched in the guts continuously


"Doing something repeatedly but hoping for a different ending,"

they called this insanity

guess I should be warded now

for I'm in pain

for I have done it again


What if one day I forget about you?

Completely with no residue

will peace finally visit me

or would it be the same

empty and void again?


In a parallel universe far from us

there is me and you

I hope we are strangers

because knowing you hurts

for I'm the one who remembers
