Unmade

Let me ransack your mental warehouse of memories,

Like a mindless thief, I am looking for that particular piece of me.

Stolen moments, put in the golden vault of hidden treasures

I live in an alternated reality.

…

I woke up with the sense of lack, something out of place

Left in darkness, no one around me.

My head is spinning, no familiarity.

I am looking at the mirror – the face is mine and yet I feel something is missing.

Note left on the table: ‘The pleasure was mine, thanks for the sliver of you’.

I can smell your perfume on me – who are you mysterious person?

Why did you steal from me?

…

You slipped through the time and space like a whisper,

Your fingerprints pressed into my dreams.

I can feel you presence as if a quiet mumble is trying to explode.

I retrace every phantom step, desperate for a clue—

What did you take that I can’t remember, yet deeply feel?

My thoughts unravel like thread from a torn seam,

Each memory probed, yet none reveals your face or name.

Was it joy or was it pain, was it both you left behind so engrained in my every cell?

Or was it something purer and precious, impossible to replace?

…

Now I haunt my own life like a ghost in rewind,

Suspended between who I was and who I am now.

You didn’t just steal what belonged to me—

You rewrote the map I used to know somehow.

If I find you, what would I say?

Would I ask for return, or beg you to stay?

…

I will not plead—I’ll hunt you like the sickness I feel – a tear into your dreams until you bleed.

You split my soul and wore it like badge of honour.

Now I am the hunter and you are the prey - no more shadows—I drag you through the mud.

Each step is a new wound; each word is a steel blade.

I am not the dreamer you escaped—I am what is left

When humanity decays and can’t be unmade.

Now I am speaking to the dark walls—maybe they remember you.

I press my ear to the thick silence, hoping it shares your name.

Even my shadow recoils, sensing the war in me.

I will rewrite our past nightly, each version more and more insane.

I try to see your face in every reflection,

Yet it is still blurry, this is all what’s left.

Now everything tilts under the weight of your sweet theft.

I no longer live—I just repeat.

My world loops like a broken reel - this isn’t memory—it’s well done manipulation.

There is no end to this search—only descent.

Each clue is a well crafter trap, every answer so painfully untrue.

I used to be whole and now I’m a question that always leads back to you.

…

You stitched your name into my veins and now I hum it when I bleed.

The walls blink when I speak of you,

And the all clocks stop to listen – immersed in screams and agony.

I swallowed the key to our past,

But it rattles every time I breathe.

The wallpaper peels back with your smile— you are in the drywall watching me sleep.

I found your hands growing from my spine,

They clap when I cry, they beg for more and I oblige.

The bed is full of sadness and perfume— you left me here, didn’t you?

I dance with shadows that wear your face,

I feed them sugar, glass, and static noise.

They whisper that you never left with clues of what you took.

They keep saying I am lucky.

They say it is magic born from the ugliness of the circus I am living in.

…

Am I insane or just awake where no one should be?

The voices speak in riddles, but they know my name.

My thoughts echo back with different endings — some happy some truly deranged.

Sometimes I swear I see myself watching me from afar.

What if the thief was never real… just the unstable part of me I let slip free?

Rough And Ugly

 

Another night under the dim moonlight, I took a stroll to calm my madness

To claim what I felt lost - what was stolen or gifted, I was not sure anymore.

Cobblestones ahead of me, darkness gently hugging the body,

Wind softly holding the weary hands.

The restless of my mind is exhausting

Playing scenes long forgotten,

Voiced by people muted from the songs I play.

…

I let them conquer my thoughts, I let them run wild

And then I strike back with confidence I thought I never had.

This is just my overstimulated mind - They are no longer here, my soul is safe.

Overthinking is my worst trait, reliving old pain from time to time

Just to remind me I am not the one I used to be.

I enjoy the pain I inflict myself like a shameless act, a punishment of once being weak.

I love the safeness of the night, I can show my demons, I let them run wild.

I am losing my sanity and put myself back – we are all doing it;

There is no denial – I enjoy the taste of my weakness – sometimes bitter, sometimes sweat.

The silence is the mirror of my thoughts – so destructive, raging like sea storm.

These sick conversations held ages ago, accompanied by grief and betrayal

A dance of cruelty – I to them and them to me.

We live a morally grey lives – we are not villains and yet we cannot be heroes even in our own fairy tales.

We are broken with the desire to brake those closest to us, so that we are not alone – misery loves company.

We are so dedicated to the cause of being with cut wings, unable to fly out of the grim situations we have created.

We play victims yet we are the cruelest executors, carrying the “justice” on our filthy lips.

We are so damaged, annihilated emotionally; craving “salvation” of who we truly are.

We are so ugly when alone yet so shiny when others are around.

Duality is our first nature, theater with masks Venetian style.

Our souls feel so ancient – culturally educated yet destructively primitive – godlike beings.

We create, we destroy, we build and we tear down as if it is not a big deal.

…

Possessed by old delusions and hate, these empty streets feel so foreign, I am undoubtedly lost…

Should I give in into the old habits or should I fight a constant battle – the old me or the new one to prevail.

I am so tired of this inner conflict, I feel so dizzy every now and then

This inner strive for survival is so unnecessary and yet I feel obliged to fight.

…

Cobblestones, dark night, alone with no regrets,

Grinning smile, predatory eyes – this is the final form of my emotional strain.

I am the monster and the ethereal being – light and darkness

Neither good nor bad – just a human in its weakest state

Seconds before calling my demons back inside,

Before hiding all the pain and happiness just to stay a few more days peacefully ALIVE.

And then the cycle will repeat in self-destruction and self-rebuilding countless more times.

The Song That Never Was

 

You and I — two opposing worlds,

Locked in a silent power struggle,

But for the soul of the art we so desperately try to make.

...

You were furious when the song played differently than you imagined,

Each off-note of mine crashing against your careful harmony.

Your spirit is gentle, measured —

And yet, around you, I shrink under the pressure of control.

What weakens you — sounds unpredictability — is where I thrive.

Enough with the discord — let’s return to the page,

and bleed these thoughts onto something tangible.

...

There you are — tucked into the brightest corner of this faded space.

You once told me, “I can’t write in such dullness,”

And yet you keep coming  again and again.

I curled in the shadows of the same room, release the weight I’ve carried alone —

My darkness sinking deeper into the faded daylight.

Maybe this time we will find agreement — between your clean words and my frayed expressions.

I chose the voice of darkness while you opted for the light – no surprise.

And in this attic — where time pauses —

We let the words spill, without shame – rough and mellow, onto the same worn page we called poetry.

...

I saw you — radiant, like a truth never spoken aloud,

And yet I drifted toward you like falling dust pulled by a gravity I still refuse to name.

We orbit each other — two artist lost in the melody we never learned —

Who is the flame burning for applause, and who is the rust clinging to memory of pride?

Your quiet presence slices through the air —

Your jaw tight, your spine unyielding against this collapsing moment.

Near you, I become unfinished — yet somehow, you read what I refuse to reveal.

I summon fog to shield myself but you move through it effortlessly,

As if my vanishing act was never convincing.

I wear composure like a mask, each of your silent glances framed and buried.

Don’t look away — your gaze still carries everything your silence dares not speak.

You and I — two echoes stitched together, two verses searching for a chorus that will not arrive.

You are earthbound — constant, seeking clarity.

I remain undefined — watching from above, not to escape, but to see from where I cannot be seen.

We speak no words,

But this room — our unfinished stage — hears it all.

Here, we revise each other’s truths without ever finishing the edits.

We lie beautifully — every sentence rehearsed,

Every glance dressed in meaning we never meant to wear.

Remnants of what is better left buried — yet never truly gone.

...

Another draft, another painful moment -

We fight, we write, we try to harmonize.

Again, the lyrics feel unresolved — just like us.

One of us needs to anchor, to define, to possess.

The other just wants to move freely, untethered.

My independence rebels against your protection.

Another clash. Another refusal to compromise.

I stay in my corner, alone — the lyrics finally done,

But the song is a true evidence of another botched attempt.

We are not a good creative match — no matter how often we try to prove otherwise.

The Song Beneath Our Skin

 

You and I – worlds apart yet so close;

Distance cannot keep the minds apart

Lonely nights, anxious days,

Trapped inside building made of glass,

Are we going to survive the carnage of the boring days

And stay sane for the art we conjure when darkness falls?

…

Drunk from the stars I open my white sheet

Ready to take the pen with my trembling fingers,

If it is a music - let it be heavy soften by harplike sound.

Guitar riffs battle with the tender tune – dance between a brute force and a mellow touch…

Where does it ends?

You are starting with the song so slow yet relevant to me,

As if you are afraid that I might hear the pain hidden behind the strings pulled so perfectly

But still here we are…

Beneath the gentle touch of your rough fingertips, I come strong

I am turning it into the darker piece – my guitar strings tightening the artistic grip,

Let’s rise it up a notch – a bit sharper, strummed even unrepentant as if I am possessed by something else.

Can’t you feel the fire burning up inside me – creation vs creator; battle between two titans?

Are we giving up our souls to the beauty of this midnight creativity, fully engulfed by our inner fears unleashed to roam freely the room?

Or are we keep pretending that we are unhappy ”artists” unable to create?

We are so undoubtedly consumed by those choruses, the air quivers – we have gone beyond.

Note by note we spiral into distortion – pulling these chants from very skin and bones!

Riff by riff until we are out of breath with fingers bloodied from this melody war.

And here we are again – You and I – striking another chord – a refrain that roars thought the sweetness of the room

Before dragging it back to the hollow world of grey walls.

…

Hush follows as it should, you are tired, fingers lifted from the magic harp -

Ready for goodbye.

I am sitting quietly on the piano ready to play the forbidden lullaby.

The piece is still unfinished, notes left unplayed.

I am leaving the sounds of the lower octaves to echo because unlike you my song is finished -

A bit darker yet deliberately incomplete…

Toxic Game For Two

Hazel eyes, chocolate skin - a summer evening, where the dream begins.

Your lips, like oranges, sweet and bright - a citrus kiss in the heat of night.

Your touch so soft is melting me in a fiery sway.

A foreign taste, both warm and new; yet I can’t figure out this essence of you.

A spark of poison, a tempting thrill.

Addictive pull, a dangerous game - I can't resist it; I love to play with the flame.

Let me crave this forbidden pleasure - like a snake’s bite, it feels so right.

I sense the danger yet I can’t move on;

It started affecting me - I thirst more.

…

You’re a mystery I can’t quite solve; a rare delight, spiced with fire.

There’s something in your scent, a note I almost know - familiar, yet elusive;

I feel you like a place I’ve yet to go.

Your voice carries a rhythm so foreign that it pulls me in,

Unravels my core leaving me craving, yearning for more.

In my dreams, you live like a soft refrain,

Closer than anyone, yet driving me insane.

You blur the edges of what feels secure and well-known,

You are my thrilling chaos I can't help but keep on coming for more.

Here you are, keeping my mind wide awake,

Every thought of you I compare to a liquor – so dangerous, so mild, so warm.

Are you the hunter, or am I the prey - the lines blur with each passing day.

So let’s play this out, let’s write this story;

Push me, pull me – you claimed me as your own – this dance is not that easy;

This chase of minds, this waltz of chance—an unorthodox, forbidden dance.

 …

I’m the smooth shot that hits your veins,

A buzz you can’t shake, a high that remains.

I am your designer high, so custom-made - that kind of thrill you can’t evade.

When the hunter flips, becoming the prey caught in the rush, you bent to my will.

Pleasure takes over, no time to retrace— this round is mine, I’m winning the chase.

…

I crave the rush of chocolate and fruit – so sweet and yet so bold;

You’re my plaything in this fucked-up scene - I keep it chill while you chase the dream.

The roles flip fast, we’re caught in this heat, - who takes the crown, who admits defeat?

Adrenaline junkies, we’re both addicted to the game - hunter and prey we’re both to blame.

…

Another conversation, another day fades way,

Until you realize—I’m the spider and you’re the fly, tangled in my silky web

So helpless to stray.
