Whispers of Woe.

Interstellar.

I know he is the other half of me

the other part of my soul,

I know that our stars travelled a hundred years

To be together

but instead of a supernova,

a supermassive black hole.

And it sucked me in with such force

I could see no light

it was though I was no longer my own

but a part of him,

like a light he decided to switch off

my star combusted and his exploded into colours of the night.


Of red and purple

our favourite colours

my favourite colours.


If our stars never met I wonder

where would they be now

where?

Would yours have collided with another

whilst mine searches eternally for someone

who is not there.

Mine.

My inspiration is Sadness

she whispers to me in my sleep

tells me stories of happiness

reminds me of promises I can not keep.


My muse is Darkness

she helps me to see

she cloaks me in her charcoal hair

alone with her I shall be.


My lover is Cold

he helps me to feel alive

only at his touch, goose bumps

only with him I truly revive.


My inspiration is Sadness

she whispers to me in my sleep

fills me with the promise of nightmares

promises she will always keep.


Dante.

I thought my world would end in fire,

my heart burned twice,

from what I tasted of your desire

I thought we would end in fire.


Yet my heart is not ash, but ice

the third circle of hell,

Oh, for our love I paid the price

from the snow my chest did swell.

And my world froze twice.


Familiar Woe.

Self inflicted, I let them rush back

like a child runs back to its mother

yet unlike that loving mother my arms are crossed

I cast them out yet welcome another.

Another familiar pain

they pry my arms open with cold hands

but the familiar frost is comforting

and they embrace me like sinking sands.

It takes little persuasion to sink

even as they squeeze, suffocate

I let them back in, those thoughts

and now it is too late.

No matter how hard I try

No matter how far I cast

these thoughts come rushing back

familiar, comforting and more painful than the last.

Fervent.

Are Love and Pain the same?

many would say no,

but they do not know the intensity

at which I love you so.

It feels as though my heart is distended

pounding too hard in my chest

until my ribs slowly splinter and shatter

from this pressure I receive no rest.

No rest for my musings

I spin and spin until I am sick

Are love and pain the same?

feels all too similar if you look quick.
