screaming at the top of my lungs

no body ever heard me

but now I whisper my words

and you answer, always so clearly

“Had I known this day would come,

I would’ve stored your kisses in a gold locket,

Hang by the neck where it’s pressed to my heart,

Take out a little whenever forlorn,

Forever remind myself of your love

While it lasted.

But what shall this move entail,

If nothing but liquid hopes and solid despair?

A memento of your departure—

A reminder that the sunny days had come to an end.

Nevertheless,

I would gladly hold on to the piece of jewelry.

Even if its coldness burns me.

Even if its tenderness stings me.

Even if it brings back bittersweet memories.

I only need to prompt myself,

That with you I was once happy.”

RENAISSANCE

Heaven's bawling at an hour so dark,

The earth,bleeding before His eyes,

Nature's banishing those who lurk

In the storm,that destroys all truth and lies.

The cold in the air,

Has amplified a lot higher,

Impelling every creatures

Into their broken shelters,

That has no warmth,has no light

And nothing that shines a little bright.

'The end has come',they say.

For they see the undead lay

On the streets,withering away,

In silent desperation.

Stuck in between life and death,

Covered in a shawl of dying faith,

They watch as Hope abandon them

For they are to return,from where they came.

The music has stopped,the crying too.

Agony has ceased,for it has reached

Where it has to.

Silence has dawned

Upon the English air.

As they all awaited

A new sun to appear.

At dawn they witnessed

A different world,

They held hands

And praised the Mighty Lord.

Some mourned, some said their final

Goodbye.

And some hoped for a new world,

A better world,

A renaissance

That is about to bring

Another destruction.

i forget sometimes how much it hurts

to put your trust in someone and have it thrown back in your face

I guess I’ll never learn how to be cautious

it’s strange that as we grow

we change things about ourselves we used to love

just to fit into an ideal we don’t even know

toxic people are everywhere

but i think i’ve finally leant

that just because i can't escape them

doesn't mean i have to care

I broke and you didn’t even notice

is my acting just that good

or do you just not care?

I’ll put myself back together again

but I won’t make those mistakes again

(life has been awful in lockdown and I took a lot of time to myself just working out what I wanted for myself and the direction my mental health was going was not good. I will be very on and off for the time being as I found myself spirally and my poetry and words taking some very dark turns so trying to do things that make me happier intentionally hope you all understand! - a.s)
