I bask in the memory of those orange afternoons when the tires run smoothly on a sun-kissed asphalt. My heart just stared blankly at everything, unabashed, silent and roaring.

The crying woman and I

March 12, 2010

I cried while walking home from work today. It was a quiet morning and there were a few joggers nodding good morning as they jogged past me. The sun just started beaming its glory over this lowly girl who felt the morning due was a mixture of the dry earth and her sour tears. All because of a boy.

I had a nightmare yesterday. I dreamt that my ex sent me photos of him and his girlfriend. They looked in love and the only thing clear to me was the pain that kept stabbing as images flashed one after the other. I’m not bitter but I’m honest. And even if the images were happy, or the fact that it was just a dream, the pain was real. I really don’t want to remember the stabbing feeling. The reason why I’m writing is because it’s been a long while since I tried rechanneling all this pain to other things. I’ve just been crying and crying and crying - it’s getting pretty boring really. All that crying for all the months that’s gone by. I’ve got to start with something, even if the words are all blurry and I’m a little messed up right now. So here it is. Writing about a nightmare and this crying woman on her way home from work. All because of a boy… 

who broke her heart.

When you left

February 11, 2010

 I filled forgotten pages 

of old newspapers with scribbles 

of unsaid sadness.

I often found myself

curled up in bed

breathing back sour tears.

The skies no matter how blue,

painted memories

that crumple the heart.

I kept hearing timid outbursts

in the shower - the only place

where I allow my pain to speak.

Everyday, a piece of you lingers.

It kills me every time I tell myself

to let go.

The saddest truth you don’t know,

is when you left,

something beautiful died in me.

You keep waiting for something you know will never come. And it breaks you

 

Without any breath of comfort

 

because there’s no cure for it.

Gripping my heart at 2:50

August 22, 2009

When I die, all I ask is to play Valleys of Neptune on my funeral.

Just so it won’t be too lonely in heaven.

Comments on recent life (Med school)

bookworming

 
 Who stole the years? What happened to the young happy mindless in-betweens?
How did you skip and jump to feeling so old and lifeless?
Where did it all go? Who drew these bleak outlines on your soul?
We keep struggling under distant stars.

 

Tonight, I want to bark at them.
Ask them why they look so beautiful up there,
while a clueless little girl curl up in this bed,
listening to forgotten dogs as they tear the quiet.

Sometimes we have to go down and break. Fall apart. Lose ourselves. Fail.
The journey down is a sad one. But my heart is still here. I didn’t lose it.

And I will rise from this fall. Definitely.
