Young Curios

I spent most nights of the end of 2017 unable to sleep and pondered about love, fate, chance, uncertainty and how my life could have been different if he had stayed. It is a void when dreams don't come true and the reality I live is truth. This piece was given its title when I contributed this to the Speak City Asia newsletter called 'Tiny Walls'.

Take me now on a stroll
down memory lane
As the sun begins its descend
I find you
standing there in plain sight
Along the horizon of light and shadows
where your silhouette is marked
In opulent angles
The arches of your brow
Touches your high cheekbones
Lifting your charming smile
Deepening those cheeky dimples
A carpet along your sleek jawline
defining your edges.

Your face looks like
it has seen much
Like the moon that is still visible
Pale translucent blue in the afternoon
Still present despite the sun already luminating the bright sky
Still whistling softly among the swallows that fly
Nestled by the pillows of cloud
You wait patiently.

Your ears have heard many tales
Voices raised and silent whispers
Your ear drums plastered by many tiffs
lined with unforgiving words
Beating over and over again
But you chose to listen to my voice
It lines your heart with love and choice.

As your gaze softens,
you slowly brighten and discard the facade you so tediously carry
Emerge as straping,
young curios,
bright energy.
Your touch unravels me
like a knitted sweater carelessly tugged
Row after row undone with every blink
Till there is nothing left.
But don't stop looking at me with those brown eyes
Take my breath as you raise your head
Look into my wondering eyes
And speak to me with every squint and wink.

Remind me what it feels like to be mortal
Feeling euphoria
Remember intense burst of emotions
Feeding my soul with combusting fuel
In the end being burnt to a crisp
Because you walked away.

  1. Look at how pathetic you are, romanticising a past relationship eventhough you yourself were the one who broke it off. Did you really think you can just move on and let this piece be out here for the whole world to see of how bad things end everytime someone gets in a relationship with you.

    You are the reason people walk away, you make it so difficult for people to stay that it's better for them to leave. You burn yourself and others to a crisp because you rather see people around you feel your pain then knowing that you suffer alone you sadistic bitch.

    Nothing is going to change the fact that you're a hot mess moving from one victim to the other, no one will ever be able to satisfy your craving for attention. You are too damaged within to be saved.
