Spilled Lyrics - Tumblr Posts
The magic began the moment you sang my favorite song.
Katie, 24:00
I want to be lost
In my ocean of thoughts
Linger in the depth
Of my rambling chaos
//
Perhaps to be lost is better
Than have me stand
Infront of you
But never seen
For you seek
The comfort
Of winding lies
Not the beautiful fiasco
Of black stormy hair
Freckled facial skin
A pair of clear brown eyes
Dancing about your face
Once in a while they stop
To stare
A little deeper
Like they're trying to probe
Into your soul
Completely shrouded
In an exquisite smile
A perfect masquerade
//
I try to know you
Like a sacred creed
But you hide beneath
Layers of cemented lies
You refuse to speak
To my exposed soul
Cast away the truth
Back to the grave
Where it spent
Eons of incarceration
//
Why wouldn't you look at me
As I bare it all
I stand in stark nudity
Before you
But you turn away
//
Are you afraid
To discover what's engraved
In my bones
For so long
Your name
Tattooed in me
In my soul
A beautiful calligraphy
Of pain
An anguished scream
Swallowed by the wind
A tale
Of love and lost
Spilled carelessly
In ancient Baybayin
-Tattooed in me,
Katie, 20:00
(Baybayin is an ancient pre-colonial Philippine writing system.The term Baybay literally means "to spell" in Tagalog.)
It's ironic how I love you so much while you, you can't even recognize me from the sea of faces looking up to you. The crowd shouts your name; my voice is swallowed by the cacophony. You didn't hear my call. You passed me by without glancing at all. Yet I am glad. I would like you to know I am glad. Everyone admires you; regarded as a gift. That should hold me for a while. You're a Haley's comet; my Haley's comet.
And me? I am the shooting star who fell to make your dream come true.
While it's painful to fall from such a height to end up unrecognized by your heart, I am willing to do it a thousandfold to fulfill even your wildest desire. All in the name of the love you traded with the admiration of the crazed crowd.
-Fall a thousandfold,
(I'll just behold you from afar)
-Katie, 16:00
"I love you!"
All the words we could have said,
but chose not to.
-The words,
Katie, 20:00
My heart is a graveyard for all the love I want to profess but died before they could escape my sealed lips.
Katie, 22:00
You didn't even have to win my heart;
It was yours from the start
-Katie, 21:20
But you told me stories. Of long nights ending, cold dawn being subdued by warm sheets, and tangled limbs, shower of kisses and promises. Oh you told me, perhaps too much. That as I stare longer at the coffee spilled on my desk, your face is formed. Honestly, everything around me bears your image. The rough walls, the stains time carved against the door, the clouds in the blue sky. You haunt me wherever I go. For you told me stories. Of love blossoming in unlikely places. Now even the freckles in my cheeks bear your name.
Because you told me stories that has taken their niche in my brain.
-pareidolia, katie
I live in the streets. Stride with the crowd, sing the loneliness reflected in their eyes. Spend the day in coffee shops. Writing poems out of bottled teardrops. At night, I linger in the sidewalks to watch strangers exchange empty phrases. In between these sullen places,my heart yearns for a moment of escape. So I run. Run as fast as the wind. Back to the heart that housed me in those long nights of weeping.

-a nomad in love, katie
Why do you need to hide
When my darkness calls
If you love me,
Why are you so terrified?
