It was this day

I decided to undress

I peeled the skin off

To show my chest

I disassembled this ribcage rib by rib

A crimson splash marked the floor

With a heart ripped out of its seams

|

I put it in your hand

With a scenario that you'll stay

For you to examine what the past made

To understand everything I've lost

For your fingers to experience the trust that became frost

|

And just when I thought you straightened your arm

To put it back in its place

You just stopped

A few centimeters from where my heart should rest

And you squeezed it right in front of my face

Like it was just a simple dog's chew toy

A shapeless slime of gore left in your palm

Its contents casually dripping down your forearm

|

I sit here

With fire in my chest

Because the crows are ripping out all the flesh

To the bone

Leaving no organ left

It's because I let you see me undressed

Undressed

Undressed

Undressed

Undressed

Undressed from the facade of a smile

Undressed

Undressed

Undressed

Undressed

Building this wall again will take me a while

[literary-villain]

that little pang deep in your heart

covering the full length of your chest

the piercing, painful whisper of the now smudged past

calling you an impostor

even though every part of your brain heavily denies it

knowing the true impostor is the whisper

|

but knowing is not always enough

[literary-villain]

an ache for the feelings felt through the letters of the page

a yearning for the emotions you can experience only vicariously

a longing

a heart-wrenching dream of passion

creature, creature

dear Creature of Darkness

how wonderful is thy glow

that glow that the stars reflect

|

they say you're morbid

they say you're doom

they say you're grief

they say you're the colour of death

and yet this Silver Queen that rules your kingdom

softly guides us to our way every night

every day

I miss that past you

I miss that past you who understood me in the dark

I miss that past you who was connected to me from the start

I miss that past you who gifted me a comic written from the depths of his heart

I miss that past you who were so easy and comfortable to be around

I miss that past you whose very voice made my heart feel safe

even though neither of us felt truly safe back then

but we made each other feel a little less alone

whenever we were together

holding each other's backs

I miss that past you who cared for me enough

I miss that past you

the first person whose lips seemed so soft and welcoming

that I ended up pressing them to mine

Though I do regret that yours did never leave a similar mark...

|

I miss that past you

But the years have gone by

These minds of ours took different turns

Our childhood affinity being torn apart

Yet I swear

last time I saw you

In my head

I pressed my lips to yours

one last time

As a bittersweet goodbye

To that ghost of a bond

that never meant to last

The pieces of all the people I've ever loved

wedged deep inside me

My dream wished upon the moon's soul

Its stardust carries the hope

my heart shared with its divinity

To float there with all the secrets of the universe

All the longings whispered carefully to the shooting star

All the mysteries that will find their way to the surface

sooner or later

some day

[literary-villain]

The sun glaring through the window of my room

In such a welcoming and inviting way

Peeking at me

with this curiosity of a little bird

Peeking, because something's changed

Something's different

|

The music of my soul has shifted

It fills with glory again

With pure joy and that positive passion

That puppy-like disposition

It flows with the rays of sunshine once again

And the days of summer embrace it

And cherish the spirit as a part of them

Even though it used to not belong to them

|

It used to be an essence of autumn

Of winter

It still is

However, it used to lock itself away from the sweetness that the spring and summer held

Thinking it less superior

|

Now, this soul, it is an embodiment of all of them

Of every season

And it feels close, it feels connected to every feeling, emotion they embody

Every emotion it ever felt

|

Every petal

Every leaf

Every tear of rain

Every snowflake

Every shadow

Every sunny flame

It empathizes with them all

It learns to carry all nature with it

Embody the whole world

Feel the whole Earth

Like it was always supposed to

The way it was always created to be

|

For a Human's true nature

has always been being

this sacredly romantic, genuine and loyal lover of Nature

Her bonded friend, ally and devotee

Your poets? Dead. Your history? Secret. Your darlings? Killed. You? Probably not straight

[literary-villain]

and even though you tore me to pieces

I miss you now more than ever

just because I'm craving to be loved

and what you showed me was the closest thing to it after all

no matter how damaging

a kiss so palpable

so wonderful

the lips so loving, so sweet, so genuine I melt

I feel the shiver that accompanied it

long after it passed

feel the tingling on the rosiest part of my skin

long after my eyes had opened

long after I realized it was a dream

but it all felt so real

so true

and I still feel your forehead pressed to mine

and the heaviness of your breath on the bare, exposed tissue of my cheeks...

the most sincere air from your lungs mingling with that of mine

perhaps it wasn't as fictional as it seemed?

perhaps it was a shadow of what's to come

perhaps

I wasn't the only one who dreamed this dream...

perhaps I will meet you there,

dear lovely, adorably awkward, wonder boy

someday

[literary-villain]

the night has settled in

the busy streets are growing dark

and now

- as always -

I long to be embraced

by that nameless stranger

that dwells in the corner of my mind

until it's time

— Literary Villain

#poetry #poem #dark academia #dark academia poem #dark academia poetry #dark academia poems #poems #da #dark academic

[literary-villain]

just as those little, white, spring flowers

under the soft caress of the translucent tears of the morning dew

when the drizzled tissue of their divine, fragile petals

soaks in the ray touch of the afternoon sun

they blossom, show their full glory

shivering slightly for the wind that embraces their roots

just as you feel upon the graze of my palm

my fingers brushing the tissue of your skin

falling down your roots

so that the willows of your voice tremble for your florescence

for your entire beauty

the entire essence of your soul

too often hidden underneath the soles of the earth

blooms for me

until it can't be hidden anymore

until showing it becomes the only freedom your splendour so craves
