Wine

⚠️TRIGGER WARNING⚠️ (Self-harm, Suicide, Blood) Drowned by her anxious fears and pent up tears, she slit her pale and tender wrist. Droplets of crimson trickled down, Mixed with red wine in the break of dawn. The marbled floor, turned bloody red. No longer white, no longer pristine, Now dully tainted by pain and grim. With the beating of her heart strongly pounding on her now torn arm, She stared blankly at what she had done. She saw her face, and nothing else. An insane girl in a shroud of her despair. She thought all her woes would finally disappear. Like how The Fates snip the mortals' twines, Or like a cork pulled out from a bottle of grape wine. Snip! And everything will break free. Pop! And she can finally leave all the world's insanity. But alas, her pain-- she felt it all, and it was more wicked, more intense than it was before. Her despair did not disappear, it concentrated into a growing pool of liquid red. Red, red, red. What is the color red? Why is her blood in the shade of crimson red? Is it for the passion her young self once had in life? Is it for the rage she felt as she eventually grew up? Or is it for the romanticism of it all? To be pricked by the thorns of a coveted red rose that she never should have picked. Either way, I wonder. Was she able to feel a great relief? Or did she feel greater remorse and deep regret? Its hard to tell, but nonetheless, It is a great day for a fine bottle of red wine. Will there be a much grander occasion than this? A commemoration of one's escape from listless animation. A commemoration of one's eternal damnation. A/N: thank you for reading until the end. I wrote this almost 2 years ago and I never got show this to anyone since. Although I do not (or no longer) empathize with the feelings of our main character, I still think its a good piece of writing and it deserves to be released to the world. Thank you for reading it, I really appreciate it. And if you are ever in distress and need help, do not hesitate to call you local mental health hotlines or seek professional help.

Wrote a countless poetry, Dedicated for someone— that turns out to be in different page as I am. How sad would it be?

I shall not live in vain!!

If I can stop one Heart from breaking, I shall not live in vain If I can ease one Life the Aching, Or cool one Pain, Or help one fainting Robin Unto his Nest again, I shall not live in vain. -Emily Dickinson

[Re]turn

I've tried to search for you across the sky, Among the stars and all the fireflies' light — I've looked for you between pages of dreams, In time's cradle of your remaining years. I've wished for you upon each starry night, But only your ghost stood before my eyes. I've sought your shelter away from the rain, Still my soul's all cold from the numbing pain. How can you say that were under the same sky, When you're the first to go and say goodbye? How do I find you among oceans of stars, When I watched you fade into the dying light? But how can you even close the space between us When it's a distance separated by the stars?

🔥 Twin flame 🔥

A twin flame burns with an intensity profound, A love that goes beyond earthly ground. It flickers brightly, unwavering and pure, A connection that time and distance can't obscure. It ignites the souls, with warmth and light, Guiding hearts through darkness, day and night. It's a union of spirits, a cosmic fire, A love that transcends, lifting souls higher. A true flame signifies a love so deep, Where souls intertwine, their secrets keep. It's a bond unbreakable, forever to endure, A testament to love's eternal allure.

King and Queen

It's one of the older poems I wrote, while just sitting in my room in the lockdown. KING AND QUEEN "We are two of a kind hearts that bleed black Drowning in the ocean of love we can't take back Your tears don't fall down to stop me from crying I don't cut my veigns to stop you from dying We are stuck together Its not just for today Your suffering is mine Even if we are far away You're queen and i'm king of this empire of pain my sadness always shines your sorrows always rain Its time for us to come close to end this once and for all Wearing the crown of death let us watch our kingdom fall" - Pinakin @2020

Dearest lover of mine

Dearest lover of mine, Come, sit by me for a while. Before thee part thy lips and speak, And speak shall thee with words that rhyme, Here, hold this twig and draw but a beautiful line, Above it, shall thee reside in a castle built over time, Below it, shall I preside over time and bargain a beautiful life. Above it, shall thee live with a beautiful smile, Below it, I shall stare at it like a gleeful child. Here, hold my hand and let us unwind, A fate that the world had you denied. Before thee part thy lips and speak, Before thee thieve me of this time, Before thee cry and succumb to thy fears, And drench my shoulder with tears, Look at me my beloved love, Come, sit by me for a while, Dearest love of mine.

Warning

I'm going to hurt you, she warned me I'm going to scratch your eyes out so you won't see I'm going to break your legs so you won't walk And bite your tongue so it'll hurt when you will talk I'm going to cut your veins and bleed you out And fill with pins your skin and mouth You'll end up beat and stabbed and broken And then I'll leave you to the cold, with no word spoken She warned me, in fairness, she told me all this And she did so before we kissed And then she asked, will that be worth it, just to be mine? And I replied, every one line.

When they text "ily" but Charles Dickens wrote "I loved her against reason, against promise, against peace, against hope, against happiness, against all discouragement that could be."

Equal to!

You is in control. Nevermind situation. You have the ability, With utmost concentration. You continue the journey, And fight beyond expectation. That the sole purpose, Has love in equation.

To an old crush

That warm feeling you get when you remember a friend, And you take a deep breath, so that it lasts longer Why did those beautiful moment ever end ? My mind rests upon these thoughts as my heart wanders, Seeing her there , on the other end of the room A short span of steps , yet they were parsecs to me My love of romanticism could spell my doom, Wherever she is; that is where I want to be, But I do not wish to be blinded in my pursuit, The beauty of the moon must be witnessed fully, Any attempt at getting closer wouldn't be astute , The act of seeing her has frozen me wholly, A countenance so radiant and pure, And eyes that sang a mystical tune, My heart writhes in a malady with no cure, I yearn to talk to her again , to pay her this tribute, As I sizzle in the bonfire of desire I wonder, Are my thoughts flowing down the right river ? Or have I been naive and committed a blunder ? Take that leap of faith before your resolve quivers.

Different shades of blue 💙

At surface level I seem ordinary, Bereft of conflict that eyes can't see, I'm walking down a hallway and there's no end for me, Echoing footsteps fill the space, The illusion of another I can't replace, I want to break out but this place is too familiar, comfortable, numb in a monochromatic stupor, I've come so close to getting my piece of mind that I've found meaning in the suffering, But glimpses of color seem all too intrusive, There's no me, there's no you, it's all just different shades of blue, I may never be able to see how you do, But knowing you can experience such vibrance isn't peculiar, I'm stuck in this place but I know it's not forever, It just happens sometimes and you're so clever, tossing that rope down again and again and knowing your storm just needed a friend, Heads or tails, always two sides to a coin, Forever apart but in me they join, The flooded halls have new shades of blue? I thought I was drowning but then I saw you, A reflection of myself with a lively smile, A rekindled fire that people actually admire? A warm embrace and two become one, Feeling whole at last, instead of numb, There will be a time where we part again, But I'll always be happy to see my dear friend.

Mourning.

There are so many things I would have liked to tell you, Everything is so dark now, My body vibrates with the beating of my heart, In a way, I hate you for leaving me here, I dream of you, you flew away, I'm under water and asking you to come back, Mourning every day.
