Euneriophrenia

 

My demise had a beginning.

It all started that day. I could recall it all. It was cold. I was alone. And I saw a beautiful man. I didn’t give it much of a thought and rather it all became a blur. The days went by and soon turned into years. But one day, in a remote dream…I saw him.

A man of tremendous light and unspeakable splendor. A man who lifted me high in the air and allowed me to feel a joy no one had ever given me before. It was surreal.

And it was a dream.

And days later…I saw him again.

But I had to be having a nightmare. It couldn’t be real. He couldn’t be gone. He simply had to be alive. 
He had to be here somewhere. He simply couldn’t be a memory for us all.

But this world is cruel and it took a part of me that day. I still can feel the rumble of my heart as my hot tears blurred his face. Now, this life has turned as cold as that day and my heart beats only in the past. If only I could forever be in that dream with him forever.

It Was Real

 

In a dream, I could feel everything

It was real, not ethereal

 

It was you

It was someone that I had never seen

But I had

 

It was you

It was someone that I had never known

But I did

But it was just a glimpse

 

Now I saw your midnight orbs

And the power of your tender touch

In this dream, I could see all I wanted

Oh, I wish it'd last forever

 

Walking out

To a perfect world where we both would be free

No one here

Walking on

To embrace and laugh because we had found ourselves

In this place

Once again

 

I knew that you were the one

For my heart had never known such joy

 

Walk With Me

 

Newly again I was happy

I was real

Newly again I was smiling

Love was real

 

Newly again I would find you

And walk home

Newly again I would hold you

Not let go

 

But this sky

Rain with blood

And the thunderstorm screams

And you fade

I thought that you were real

 

Am I wrong?

 

Galactical Stranger

 

A sudden burst of tears will bring me here

Face to face with you

We fall asleep

The world keeps spinning while the night birds sing

Past the ultraviolet rays of fear

Far and softer are our tears of grief

I remember

Why did you appear to be someone real

Wind me back to December, please

So that

 

Wait

 

How could this happen to me?

How could this happen to you?

Part of me wants to believe

Part of you wants to insist

I had never felt this weak

I had never felt this strong

There is something missing here

From beneath this starry world

What can I say?

Love seems to have left too early

 

Now what do I have to do?

Other than to mourn for you

I thought that you were a dream

Now I only see you in dreams

There is nothing more harmful than eternal grief

It consumes our hearts

Consumes the trickling spirit

 

Tornadoes came

Closed were my eyes

It was the euneriophrenia smiling

Chaos in your eyes of true love

I kick around the fragments of you missing

 

Why They Are Short

 

This ink of red

Is not paying off

I have not got too much time to write more

The wounds are too many to count

They ache

And fingers are snow

 

I write on

 

Trembling are my fingers now

My sentences have started to shrunk

Too many emotions that

Will die soon enough after I

 

Did what I could to display the night sky in a word

To describe the erosion of my soul

Weakening and weakening

And fumbling to find a way

So somebody can read this story of a girl who ends up dying

For a love she never imagined would consume her whole

And nobody will know her ending

 

Lone Skeleton

 

I dreamt that my world would become the best

That I had found my love and friend

That my family would be perfect

A fantasy in my head

 

For you would never take another breath

You would never wake up again

Never walk on this same plane we share

A fantasy gone to rest

 

Too many years have gone by

Nothing has changed

Now I am a lone skeleton whose mind keeps on playing back to that day

I wish I could go insane

For nothing can

Bring back this person who means the world to me

Gripping my sore bones to frozen fantasies

But the seasons pass

And like them

I, too, will turn into memory

 

Nothing can help me

Nothing can heal me

When I awaken

I dread these feelings

I cannot keep up

I cannot keep on

When I awaken

I wish to sleep in

 

Fought demons in my bed and beasts in the light

But the infernal truth is crashing down

It shakes skies and stars

My brittle bones beg to tumble down in a heap of fire

 

Winter White Blood

 

In a winter white forest

I saw someone I could never forget

He was dressed in white

So pure

He was dressed in white with icicle tears

This was no longer a dream

 

It was the flash

Still haunting me

Stronger

How could it be it was you who I was told was gone forever?

How could it be?

Whatever happened to that girl who forgot everything?

Now she runs wild in the forest of white

Rewinding back her dream and the love she had wished for

 

In a white winter stage

That was when I saw you for the first time

But it was not the first time

Back in time I went

Oh, the tragedy

 

You were the one who left us that cold day

It was you who took me by the hand and took me far from the ruins of this cruel world

And when my heart was jumping

Oh, I had found you!

My entire life went numb when I found your heart no longer beat under the Moon

This was no longer a dream

No

 

I'm Sorry

 

Are you happy with me?

 

Are you staying with me?

 

For I portend chaos

 

A storm too graceful

 

And the gods rain doom in drops of love

 

I wanted to say I’m sorry that it hurts

 

That soon our hearts will break off

 

Sorry that I never spoke

 

Sorry

 

Sorry that you were not there

 

Sorry

 

Unyielding is what is to come

 

Droplets of Reality

 

It was today

When I saw you

This memory

Is what kills me

I wish I could

Take it all back

I wish I could

Never have seen you

 

It was like any other day

When I saw you

Just a glance

Dead

 

It was Wrong

 

It was wrong of me

To fall in love with that man

Terror tied me in its shackles

The river is not shallow

 

My feet drag me in

But my body stays in place

Good-bye

 

I could never think of us

Could never raise my cup

Could never make a wish

I only want to fall

 

There is only one life

And my eyes imagines things

What could have happened

What should not have happened

 

Racing to the end

My heart wants to stay away

Farewell

 

I could never think of us

Could never see you more

Could never want you home

I only want to go
