Twenty-fifth day

As another day wanes, shadows cast Faces of my life, in joy so vast Happy and free, a blissful sight Yet they can't see me, lost in the night For a moment, one gaze aligned, Locked in eyes, a connection confined They knew I lingered, a specter's breath, Wishing me suffering, even in death ~ One Hundred Days of Purgatory

I dined on life

No need for shadows, I sold them away In return, I feasted on bread, come what may No need for a name, so I gave it away In return, I devoured bread with cheese, in the fray For shadows are but illusions, cast by the light, A name is a label, fading in the night In simplicity found, in a loaf and a puddle, I dined on life, in this transient huddle ~ Nihil Novi

Beg, my love

Insects you bred within my frame, Finally escaped, no one to blame No, I don't hold it against you, dear, For I cultivated the same, crystal clear Maybe even something worse, who can tell? Poison tainted us, in its venomous swell It poisoned all we held dear, Especially ourselves, in despair Of course, it all led to this toxic fate Everything we loved turned to ash, innate Beg, my love, plead for this burned world, That in its embers, our connection unfurled Ask, darling, that in this scorched domain, We find each other, not in vain Can you promise me this, without a doubt, In this burnt world, love will sprout? ~ Moon Tears

Violet bloom

You're like that violet bloom Crushed upon the road's gloom In shades of purple, black, and gold, Your favorite hues, or so I'm told No one notices your fragile frame "Just a lost flower," they exclaim, But you thought it'd be another way Believed your colors would forever sway They think you're gone, no longer here Yet you still see, and you still hear No helping hand extended your way You must pretend, sweet violet, each day

Until the world's end draws nigh, Underneath the endless sky, You'll keep your act, with grace and flair, The brave violet, strong and rare ~ Midnight Sun

Twenty-fourth day

We were wild and beautiful, once upon a time Today, it lost its meaning in the paradigm Maybe we're just worms, lowly and small No one can see through, understand it all We didn't believe we were anything grand All you could do was pretend and withstand I can't comprehend, it's hard to see, Why outer beauty matters more than being free But I'll never live like you, in that way I'll never save the world for you, come what may Thought I was someone, with a significant name, But I was no one, just a face without a claim I only grasped it when, oh so late, When everything slipped, sealed by fate ~ One Hundred Days of Purgatory

Black butterflies

They told me black butterflies and moths, Are always demons, shadows loathe Warned me if I love this life To avoid them, stay away from strife Yet, on my path, a black butterfly came, Trapped in a snare, a moment of shame I shouldn't let it survive, they said, But I held it gently, released it instead They said black butterflies, demons in disguise Always meant trouble, under the skies But I let them live, for life I adore, Embracing darkness, a bit more ~ Nihil Novi

Good and bad

Perhaps you spoke too literal, my dear, To destroy your world, that's crystal clear Perhaps we'd be happier, you and I, If we didn't crave mutual goodbye You can't tell me you never desired That destruction, our souls inspired You can't say you don't feel the fear In this moment, everything unclear When all is wasted, nothing remains All we built, washed away in chains Yet, I persist, still existing here As remnants of our love disappear Break my heart, or someone you adore, If we can't be, we exist no more Good can't exist without its twin Sadly, I loved you, let the end begin ~ Moon Tears

Be here with me

I could say I long to hear your laughter's song I could ask to witness your joy so strong I could beg to gaze into your eyes, so clear But I'd give it all away, just to have you here ~ Midnight Sun

Twenty-third day

Am I sorry that all the roses died, And insects crawled where we used to stride? Am I sorry your god turned away, Leaving me in disarray? But I'm sorry that death plucks flowers from the garden I'm sorry I deceived myself, beg your pardon In the coffin's depth, it's so cold, So cold without your touch, I'm told You said kindness flew away With translucent birds in a disarray Why am I too foolish, you see, To grasp this truth, to set it free? ~ One Hundred Days of Purgatory

Yet I alone remain

Amidst snow and storms, I lay to rest, In a realm where time has detoured, confessed In the month where time's trace does blur With the first breath of autumn's stir The lifeless rose from the cold ground Yet I alone remain, in silence profound ~ Nihil Novi

Sweetness

Sweet is the embrace of the dying day Sweet is the joy that comes our way And sweet it is to witness, with a tear, The honesty in your cry, crystal clear For the first time, the heart's decree, A genuine tear, a moment to see In the beauty of endings and starts, Sweet it is, as happiness imparts ~ Moon Tears

I should

Your departure came as a sudden surprise Like a rainbow after a storm's demise, Like autumn's arrival after summer's warm grace I should have anticipated it, but wasn't prepared to face ~ Midnight Sun

Twenty-second day

In purgatory's grip, where shadows loom Countless days, a relentless tomb Finally, a truth so dread, I've always been dead ~ One Hundred Days of Purgatory

Inside

The wind's whisper through the leaves so slight, Can't drown the silence, profound and tight In this hush, where solace does abide, Each departed soul finds peace inside ~ Nihil Novi

Condemned to be forgotten

All and everyone will fade away, Memories, too, in time's cruel sway Our world, condemned to be forgotten Even the echo, once begotten ~ Moon Tears

You

On the Moon, you gave me your eyes so bright They shone like honey, a sweet, golden light But on Earth, you couldn't give me a thing For love there couldn't flourish or sing ~ Midnight Sun

Twenty-first day

In the shadows where my screams were hurled, I bellowed till my voice unfurled A symphony of agony, lost in the void, Echoes of torment, my sanity destroyed I cried to god, with a voiceless plea, Prying for salvation, to set me free But god, aloof, with a laughter cold, Mocked my suffering, my tale untold Lost in the abyss, where darkness thrives, I begged for mercy, as my soul connives Yet god's laughter, a thunderous assault, Blamed me alone for the pain and fault In the silence, where my voice is lost, I'm left to pay the eternal cost God's laughter echoes, a cruel decree, In the shadows, where my soul is the fee ~ One Hundred Days of Purgatory
