What we had was too painful..
I wish it was just a fiction,
A made up story ~ far from reality.

I scribbled and doodled
As frivolous as electrocardiogram strips
Yet, not even a man in a white coat
Wept nor meek
Sleepless nights
How I begged for pills
Do you have a yellow pen?
Prescribe some Rivotrils, please

Pale palms
Eccentric pulse
A toxin, pinned
Incised the sino atrial apart

Necrotized every inch of hope
Demasticated soul, dancing in mope

Ventricular Tachy then Brady
but breathing still
trying
here,
still here

Don't let fear pull you back 
If you won't do it now 
You will only waste a chance 
We will never know when will it come again 
or will it ever go back.

So jump on that board  
Don't hold back 
Throw those worries in the air  
Seize precious moments because they can be rare

We are too busy making a living 
And we forget what it feels like to live  
Life can pass by like a moving bus  
You don't want to tell yourself 
I should have done this and that

Hair gets grey, knees weak 
Hospital arrest, forever rest in bed 
It will be too late for you to realize

Alas, I am getting older 
I think my game is over.

“I was in an Australian military assigned somewhere in the middle east and there was this event when we had an encounter local protesters trying to get near to our camp. We were pushing them off using the barricade steel bar that separated our groups from them. And then, there was this peculiar woman wearing somewhat like a bag made of cloth in her chest, and she was screaming words at me using their language that I don’t understand. It was beyond my comprehension why she seemed to be very mad at me. After that, she showed me what was inside the cloth, it was a baby, squeezed and lifeless as a result our pushing and pulling of the steel bar from their party and ours. That was the most horrific and saddest day of my life”
A part of life from Mr SP. in which he wish to be forgotten but kept on hunting him on his dreams. She was diagnosed with post traumatic syndrome.

Dear friend,

I feel guilty guilty of not telling you the version of truth that I know.
But you see, I am not in the position to tell you the truth behind the what you know is the truth.
I am not the right person to explain you things because that would mean exposing the sensitive truth of that person that you happened to care for. But some times I would wish that we will grab some drinks and pretend that we are drunk. And I will tell you what I know and I would be vindicated and would blame it to the alcohol. It is bothering me. And I hope you understand that people have their own mess but it doesn't mean how you know them is pretending. It is part of how they are. It is just, there are a lot of subparts of their parts that they would rather keep to themselves because this world is cruel or maybe you won't understand. I genuinely consider you as a friend. and I hope one day, you would understand.

Why do we only write when we are sad?
Are we that very silly and hopeful
that words would give us answers
and give us comfort
and would love us back

----
You know that the honeymoon stage is over when you have your first big fight.
When you spend your night crying on your bed
When you spend your day, taking the first available bus, not minding where is the destination

"How terrible is it?
When you were happily holding hands
And in a snap, you can't even look at me in the eye
The excruciating pain of feeling unwanted
Of what have I done wrong
Of what I should have done
Or am I good enough
Or do you miss the one who broke your heart
Or do you want to chase the one before me
And maybe you would patch up things and you would leave me
I need an explanation
I need a reassurance
I just can't accept 'just'
Because 'just' would lead me to thousand of questions
then I would start questioning myself"

How does it feel to have a very deep wound, deeper than the anything you ever had, then put a scoop of rocky road ice cream on top to sugar coat everything. An ice cream is an awful analogy but that's one of his favourites.


It's tiring. It's like there is an unending stumble of domino chips, a prolonged effect of Murphy's law. It's emotionally exhausting when you are trying so hard to convince your self that you are tough and you can get through this, day by day, it's alright. But it will just hit you, in a blink of an eye. One particular instance, like a slap in your face. Oh wait, i'm not okay. There's a burst of gazillion of heavy emotions that leaves you baffled where were all these came from? How good was I on putting it aside and here they are, sitting on my lap. Here they are, swallowing me whole with a very very heavy heart.


PS

I hope that the reader is smart enough to realise that most of the blog entries are posted on random dates.

Crossing my fingers,
Until a wish will come true,

Frosty breeze, yuletide cheers,
Let the nightingale sing,
Say I can uncross them now,
Make my wish come true

under the surreal starry sky
when candle building lights
dance like evening daffodils
waiting for us to make a wish
a dream will come true tonight

Like how cherry blossoms gently fall from the ground
Is how I whimsy fall for you
I care not how reckless the wind blows
All I know, it’s the same wind that you and I share to breathe
I am deaden and imprison by your beauty
Take me and throw me to your dungeon
I have no gems nor sparks
My poem be my bow
And these words as arrows
Feat, tangle to your heart
