I laid my sonnets in between pages of pain and doubts
In a chapter I wrote dearly in the past
About you and your smiles

Time went by
And they withered beautifully and still
I held them for so long
With a little hope
You'll  flip to the right page and see.

The warmth of your hands over my cheeks that now gone cold,
A dampened face,
From flowing river in my eyes.

These tears I couldn't wipe,
'Cause they're the only thing left,
For me to feel again the same warmth
from your hands that I long.

But looking at your face—
You seemed happy,
Lying among red roses and lilies.

You once told me to smile
But I only brought a bitter smile to wear,
For this cold sunny day.

Three words I've kept from youー
Words you'll never hear nor read
No one will know, not even these words I write
I just hope the moon didn't eavesdrop that night
Cause it's a secret I only told the stars.

Numb from the pain of a thousand cuts,
all over her skin, down to her bones.
Blinded by the blood-stained cloth
tied around her head, covering her eyes.

He then came, with a beating heart on his palm—
a remedy he thought she needed.
He bled to revive the polluted ocean
submerging her soul.

But as she screamed for oxygen to breathe,
she unconsciously dragged him below
until he drowned beneath her tears.

Too late for her to realize,
he devoured the night just to give her daylight.

They say the universe speaks to us
But with all the noise this world has
I’ve never heard it, not even once
Now I'll let the galaxy pour into me
Maybe then my heart will hear what it has to say.

Unneeded words we kept on uttering
Whilst needed words we left unsung
A world brimming with unsaid kind words
Until when will they spill through our callous mouths?
