[04] 《 Dear Elijah 》
Verse 04
Silent sobs, an ocean's tide
within these walls, you try to hide.
Lips smudged red, etched with sorrow,
word's dissolved in nothing, shades so narrow.
You flinch and lie,
Smile then sigh,
In the middle of the night,
you scream and cry.
What shall I do,
to shoulder your pain?
What shall I do,
to shelter you from the rain?
I know you have been lonely,
scared and alone;
Dearest,
what shall I do,
to take you home?

Someday,
I'll find the courage,
to love myself.
I'll leave each one of you behind.
Won't seek your hatred,
if I can't find love.
Someday,
I'll find my worth.

I hope to be;
the art admired by a warm gaze,
the canvas for honeyed words,
the muse to an unsung melody,
the reason for an ineffable longing.
Home to someone's arm.
I wish to be loved,
without any harm
to my innocent heart.

Nights like these,
when I crave for a blanket of warmth,
your absence is the reminder,
how that same warmth burnt me.
Now my garden of words,
lays barren with withered roses.

Maybe if you stop seeking acceptance,
In hearts that do not yearn,
you wouldn't have nights filled with tears,
lifeless eyes, and unanswered prayers.

It's not ink,
that glides on the paper,
It's the blood I bleed,
that no one sees.
The crumbled pages,
lying on the ground,
are the pieces of a heart,
that can't be put to words.
It's not poetry
that I write,
these are the words,
that can never be spoken,
and choke in my throat.
So bury me
with my words,
my ink, my pages,
that's all I truly own,
my wings that set me free.

I wish to love you,
but that would be to live;
I'm a walking corpse,
and ghosts do not haunt the blessed.

If I weigh every tear that falls
around me,
would the melancholy be as heavy as mine?
And if that grief is far greater,
would my pain be justified?
or am I just drowning in self-loathing?

Everytime I'm left in the dirt,
I realise, it's my fault.
And I'm such a stubborn person,
I refuse to learn from my mistakes;
My pain, my bleeding heart, my betrayals.
I wish I could carve into my bones,
deep beneath my skin,
how to keep my arms to myself,
to not hold them out.
To not reach out, and not whisper soothing words into bruised skin.
To not hold my heart for others to claim, and then shred it apart when it's no longer amusing to them.
I wish I kept my arms to myself,
because if I did,
I wouldn't fall in love,
so hopelessly;
Every single time, I gaze upon another broken heart.
Maybe it's a saviour complex,
or a desire to find some semblance of peace,
in the fact, that even hearts like mine,
can be loved.

Perhaps, there is a forever for us,
just not with each other.
Not a paradise,
where I'm your anchor,
and you, my treasure.

I can fall in love with you
again and again,
even with your ugliest,
most scarred parts;
yet, you would blame me,
for the blood on your hands,
while ripping me apart,
slitting my throat.
What a tragedy, this romance is.

What worth is your righteousness,
if it's tainted with innocent blood,
of millions who once named you 'God.'

"I love you, as much as the stars,
beyond words can describe.
But you, ethereal you,
are my downfall."
A whispered revelation.
"I wish to be your salvation,
your saviour, but then, who'll save me?"
An ambiguous answer.
"Is this what you call a tragedy?"
"No.This is a tear-jerker."
A shared melancholic laugh.
