#poetical corner
For two years,
You’ve watched me grow.
Tell me..
What did you think of me then
And what do you think of me now?
Maileta /// something I’ve wanted to ask you..
I’ve torn back the peels of the banana in hopes to clear my suspicions that it’s a vegetable and not a fruit. After all, it wasgreen. It wasn’t ready, yet forcefully, I tug and pull at the tough skin, anticipating the worst. Funny how I knew all along that it was a fruit. I knewfrom the very start. Yet to my surprise, I took a bite. I hungered for the tart aftermath that left my tongue frayed.
Maileta /// now, chew and swallow
The thorn
Will bleed profusely
If removed in such a way.
Yet it’s
Almost more painful
To simply let stay.
Maileta /// as it is
I am
f a d i n g
a w a y
Though I don’t want to disappear…
Maileta /// translucent
Can physical attraction
Breed anything good?
Besides concupiscence?
Maileta /// unrequited lechery
People take what they want and
l e a v e..
Maileta /// there’s no door
There’s no fun in being a mystery..
Once you’re found out,
Well.. there’s really nothing else, is there..?
Maileta /// lose the chase
“Thank you.. for giving me a chance.”
Maileta /// leap of faith
Beautiful clouds
But the acid rain
Stains my body
With pains of third-degree burns
And the scent of melted flesh
Leaving my body in shock
As I cannot feel anything anymore.
I am afraid
This is simply not the way I would have wanted
To die.
Maileta /// 痛い。
My heart hurts…
Maileta /// dead flower petals
It just… it bothers me that it bothers me…
Maileta /// the female psyche
“I thank you for those few days that you gave me. Though you probably didn’t know it, they made me feel special to you, even if only slightly.”
“At the end of the day, you can’t stop love. Even when it doesn’t love you back, you’ll find a way. To stay or to leave. Either way, you’ll find your own path. Right or wrong; well rather, if it’s meant to be.. it will be..”
Maileta /// a thank-you note to a stepping stone
I’m not going to worry about it anymore.
The message will just read “opened”
Another door closed, I suppose.
Maileta /// can’t be helped
“Stop being desperate. You’re not desperate.. you just feel alone.. and you hate that..”
Maileta /// empty heart
“The attachment is just scary. I don’t really know how to deal with it well. There’s always the yearning for something that’s beyond your control. It makes you seem power-hungry when you’re really just struggling to fill a bottomless pit. You aren’t a dependent being, but the relationship creates it for you—almost in a way that tests your ability to survive.. I just know that you’ll need an anchor to stay afloat and to find your stability so you don’t find yourself being drowned by the reflection of your own hands..”
Maileta /// how to find middle ground
“If it isn’t lust, then prove it.
If it is, do nothing.
Simple.”
Maileta /// my ultimatum
