    Threatens

    In this sick mind of mine

    It threatens to devour

    And swallow everything.

    So that nothing exists

    And only darkness remains.

    But in its deafening silence

    Why do I still exist

    And why do I still remain.

    And so it’s ended

    And so it’s ended.

    The sky that looks the same

    The breeze that still calls my name

    Patterns casted by sunlight

    On the window pane.

    It’s finally ended

    On such a normal day.

    Convenient

    I think of her often

    I don’t know why

    When it had cut me that deep.

    But I think about how

    Maybe she was hurt

    So she had to hurt

    And I was just convenient

    And easy to hurt.

    When I’m not pretending

    I feel restless

    Like a stray

    That doesn’t belong

    Neither here

    Nor there.

    Who am I

    When I’m not pretending

    Led astray

    I’m neither here

    Nor am I there.

    The way

    Often, it’s very gentle

    Soft, like summer rain

    A tickling feeling

    In the corners of my heart.

    But we only accept

    The love we think we deserve.

    So I hated that gentleness,

    The way I hated my own weakness.

    Plum blossoms

    When winter comes

    And the plum blossoms flower

    Amidst the falling snow.

    I’ll wait for you on the same path

    Holding your hand in mine

    Guiding you into this wretched world

    Like strings of fate that intertwine.

    Cleanses

    I’m always soothed by the rain

    As I stand in the kitchen

    Waiting for the kettle.

    The small window

    Never closes

    The sound

    Cleanses.

    Feather

    Like a feather

    Floating in this world

    Gently drifting

    Begging to be held

    Before it has to fall

    Happiness

    If you find happiness fleeting,

    Write down each and every moment it comes.

    Then, when you can’t feel anything

    Come back and find

    Your pot of happiness.

    Here tonight

    The moon is bright tonight

    And I wish you were here with me.

    We could talk about the stars

    Or watch the passing cars.

    Like ships that pass in the night,

    I wish you were here tonight.
