The Silver Lining of Betrayal

The diagonal message from extraterrestrial space,
Signaling to fall in love with those pseudo lips.
Euphoric sentiments like grey clouds are floating
Above my head like trapped remorse in the abyss.


The heavy heart holds the hollowed vessel down
And makes the silver lining of the grey clouds my foes.
Bones are melting into his battling eyelashes
As the sunlight seeps into his skin.


My world glows like positive ions
Filling up the atmosphere wholeheartedly.
In enchanting autumn, I was a child of the forest,
Singing white noises and few dancing steps left unseen.


We synchronized our heartbeats unidirectionally.
The mind boggles; they don’t believe in dreams.
It's not the distortion of reality or a soulmate’s death,
But a sincere, unconventional truth still breathing.


The soul has been betrayed one, two, many times sordidly.
Seen this road leading to catastrophe a thousand times,
My heart started beating abruptly.
I was never made to be chained to the ground so hoarsely.


Can you stop glittering with those hurtful eyes?
Can you stop exuding positivity so dwindling?
Are you the Lucifer Morningstar or another god in disguise?
Let me cry for the stones and rivers forever.


Meet me at midnight and reveal what's hidden beneath the cloak.
You bloom like a golden lotus the world has never seen.
I wish you could see yourself through my eyes.
Hues of your dark hair—you can't see, but I can see crystal clearly.


How a human clay can be unadulterated and untouched?
I say thank you for this year in my life.
I want to see you from your endings to your new beginnings.
I want to feel alive with you by living in you.
