what most people fear, appeals to me
our love is deeper than what the eyes see
tell me- what's scarier than a love story?


Spoiler
my first NaPo week thread! I've chosen horror romance as my central theme that might not be reflected by my Pre-NaPo teasers. Reader discretion is advised as the poems are sure to include dark topics and frightening aspects. Knowing me though, they're not going to be excessively disturbing. Interactions, comments and even reviews are appreciated and encouraged! All I ask is you spoiler it so as to minimise interruptions if someone is mesmerized reading the poems (lol not sure if I'm that good though) and doesn't wish to break their trance. But otherwise, I'm really eager to know what you all think of this poetry thread!

i.

don't hate on yourself
it makes my heart ache;
for you're the one in it

all the scars on your wrist
yet I'm the one who bleeds,
their sight fills me with pain

ii.

all the things you're insecure of,
I wish to kiss them until they fade
-sucking out the poison that kills

you anxiously bite your dried lips
to stop you, I'd seal them with mine;
taking in your taste until they're moist

iii.

the mirror you despise, wishes- you
looked at yourself with kinder eyes,
instead of the frown you usually give

the heartfelt compliments I give;
you dismiss them without a care,
I wish you believed my assurances

iv.

all the loud demons in your mind-
I slay them tirelessly, for your sake
won't let them take my lover away

snuggling close behind you in bed
when you tremble from nightmares,
arms holding onto you for dear life

v.

you say words you don't mean;
only if you knew they hurt me
-but I swallow the complaints

I'd take all your struggles;
if I could, but I'm powerless
and so I await your bloom

vi.

but until that day comes,
guess I'll just be loving you
enough for the both of us

if only you had my gaze
-you might love yourself
maybe then, finally

i.

walking in silent dark halls alone-
you were the language of unknown
I used to fear the monsters you hid,
you used to be my worst nightmare

my mind would make up scary noises,
whenever your presence engulfed me
I'd try to reach out to someone I know;
but what if something else grabbed me

in a corner I would curl up, terrified;
to cry till the lights turned back on
or mother called me in her embrace-
I used to pray for you to go away

ii.

but I no longer share those old fears,
for time has changed and I've seen
things much darker than black skies
a realisation I wish I could reverse

I miss the silly time back when
you were my one greatest worry
demons under the mask of people
replace the ghosts under my bed

you're exactly what you seem
unlike my fake friends and family
I've grown to prefer your company
away from noise that overwhelms

iii.

you're the only one to really know-
what I go through & so you follow;
ensuring I don't drown in sorrow by
sitting beside me through the night

through thick & thin, you keep at my feet
when I'm intimidated by the light on me
-you're there for comfort, right behind me;
where there's light, a shadow lurks inevitably

when life gets tough & I need help,
all I need to do is close my eyes-
for you to offer a heavenly escape
a void I can lose myself in carelessly

iv.

late at night, I seek you out; to
wrap self around in your wonder-
& dance around it, darkness dear,
transcending the world I know

I walk unafraid when lights are dim
feeling I'm free from responsibilities
as if someone finally understands me
I have a place to belong, after eternity

in sheer cold, a blanket of peace
you wipe away my tears so softly
the tender warmth of a small home
you're the lullaby I sleep to everyday

Spoiler
overlooking the bloody sunset
we sit on the front porch
your warm hands reach out
to me; & that's when I know
with absolute certainty
you're not the man I married
for he was cold to the touch
a partner condescending
not one for a romantic gesture
for he never really loved me

my suspicions began
the day you picked
the wrong side of bed
your hands didn't force
themselves on my flesh
it was the first night that
I slept peacefully with you
couldn't quite believe it

you remember anniversaries
he never did, showering me with
compliments he never gave me
as we dance across the hall
you look at me with
a depth his eyes lacked

I may not know your intent
but I'm smitten with the feeling
of being appreciated for once
So as long as you treat me well
why would I even care about
who you really are

All those signs could be mere
crazy coincidences, yet I'll be sure
that you're not him & that's because
I took his life with my own hands
you're the loving skinwalker
who replaced the man I killed

thanks to your mysterious arrival
now there's no crime to report
and I can enjoy this fairytale
with a husband I barely know

You thrive living in fire
The clouds are my world
Your weapon is the trident
My crown being the halo

We're both polar opposites
Reigning heaven and hell
I've fallen for you recklessly
But you bury your feelings


My heart twists within me
Struggling from forbidden love
I can't give in to my emotions
But staying away is unbearable

Distance stretches between us;
But you can't push us apart forever
Look at me and heed my words-
I want you & I'm not afraid to say it


Our union will destroy life
So why can't you let it go?
I love you with all my heart
But it's not worth the loss

Don't ask this sacrifice of me
The hell I rule is much kinder
But I'll not be suffering alone
Call is yours- mankind or me

Come sit, assassin


Come inside, assasin
I'll leave the door open
Just a little, accidently
After I had stepped outside
Thinking I heard something
Like the bushes rustling

Follow me; but discreetly
The clack of my heel
My dangling neckchain
Walk on my deer trail
Oh, you greedy hunter

You knock on the door instead
This was not a part of the plan
I answer to find a lost traveler
Welcoming you into my home
"Come sit, traveler", I invite
You hide a knife rather poorly
While I go to brew us some tea

"Tell me about yourself", I ask
You deflect the topic expertly
"I'm more interested in you"
Not one to fall for flirtations
But I'll admit that I'm curious
To see where this could go

We're both swept away
In each other's arms
and our endless kisses
Until the one fateful day
You choose to confess
"I'm an assasin on duty"
I act like I'm devastated
"You have betrayed me!
But why not kill me then?
If that's why you came-
Why all the vain act?"

"Because I'd be killing two
You and a man by my name
I saw those eyes and I knew
You were my chance at love;
I wanted you to myself and
So I put the dagger away"

"What of the man though
Who asked this of you and
Of the money he promised?"
"I'll turn him down tomorrow
And if he just hired another-
I'd protect you with my life
Don't worry- you have me"
I embrace you, teary eyed
And time fades away again

Five decades later, I recall
The tale of how we began
To tell my grandchildren
"When I was once young
I had grown really hopeless,
Thus decided to end my life;
But scared to do it myself
I hired an assasin instead
Thinking death ends all pain
But destiny had other plans
He developed feelings for me
& With time, I fell for him too
We lived happily ever after-
He let go of his criminal ways
I learnt to finally smile again
Ignorance is bliss, children
To this day, your grandfather
Is unaware that I hired him"

Warm blood

Spoiler
your dagger teeth
eyes as red as roses
a firm arm on my waist
you're a bloodsucking beast
and I secretly love it

all the lies I tell my friends
about you not being a morning guy
& how you absolutely hate gingerale
explaining why we have no mirrors
as your mother used to believe
they steal souls and spirits
"oh, he's such a mommy's boy"
I joke, not seeming to care

you push me against the wall
in the heat of the moment
your power turns me on
we kiss with untamed passion
drowning in your soulless gaze
I smile, mischief glistening
turning around to rest on your chest
moving my hair back to expose my neck
I can feel your heartbeat fasten

your fangs sink into my vein
warm blood gushes out in a mess
and you gulp it so cravingly
tounge licking the drops that drip
as my head gets dizzy
you press the pierced skin
until it heals, murmuring
"thanks, honey"
I wrap my hand in yours
"anytime, you've got me"

to love a vampire
had been a ridiculous dream
perhaps I owe it to the shooting stars
that I now breathe this reality

but our time's a ticking clock
for I'm just a fancy prey
a ride too terrific to last
only if you'd turn me
to be with you for
all of eternity

You are real
I keep telling myself
again and again
But it's the heart speaking
I know deep within
My mind is too scattered
To think straight

In the cold night
You're slipping away
Leaving me out
To freeze to death
You disappear into thin air
As if you never existed
Not a single drop of blood
Or sweat left behind
& You claim you're human

People say that I'm crazy
Lacking the clarity to deny
I stand at the burning stake
For the sin of loving you-
Who's anything but mortal

"Our love is beyond flesh"
You whisper in my ear
And I'm tired of hearing it
There is no sane way
That you can justify us

Your compromised reality
Decredits all my feelings
I'm just as much of a lover
As the girl who loves a man

The blame isn't yours though
You're not your own master
I had conjured you myself
To love me the times I cry
But your presence is cold
Didn't think it'd be this way
I'm glad to have, for once,
Even a fleeting romance-
Although the truth kills me
Slowly, of our incompatibility
That will remain there forever
No matter how close we get

I'm driven into madness
Because my lover is a ghost
Waltzing across oceans
Phantom & Me

we kill together

engraving our names
in a cherry red heart
that I made for us, on
our latest victim's arm

"that's so cheesy, love"
you show the audacity
"oh, just shut up please"
I brush you off, "it's cute"

his cries- a white noise
you rip off both his limbs
"playing blocks again?
I'd love to join too!"

we assemble him excitedly
eyes shining like little kids
reaching for the same leg
our hands brush & we kiss

in that brief moment, I see
all the memorable moments
the plant of our partnership
-watered by other's blood

the time you first taught me
to strangle, on our first date
& I took you to a cemetery on
our second one- so romantic

hundreds of murders followed
the love of us blossoming more
and more with every single one
oh, I'm so grateful to have you

we both fit like a jigsaw puzzle
our souls made of the same dust
no chains could ever hold us apart
the bond of us- forged in blood

criminal's wife


alarming sirens
my anxiety soars
"what did you do
this once", I ask
knowing he is
in the wrong

he's dragged away
for the millionth time
I watch- helplessly
this unfortunate event
isn't the first time

I know who to call
our deceptive lawyers
they're expecting me
as always, I'm the last
to be told his actions

seeing him through bars
tears well up in my eyes
"why must you?", I cry
he doesn't meet my gaze
but his eyes have no guilt
I know he'd be here again

lawyers release you
I sit in the hall alone
you interrupt my meal
walking into the dark
with your spare key
I look up to see you
you never changed

nights you came home
clothes stained in blood
saying it'd never happen
again- until the time it did
I was the one who washed
away your unforgivable sins
my heaviest regret to date

avoiding paparazzi crowds
my sunglasses- not enough
but that's what I'm going for
I must protect my own image
should you drown, I'll diverge
but we both know well, for me
that would be a death sentence
for I'm defenseless without you
all the enemies you've made
my life is their temptation

looking back to the
younger me- naive girl
breaking rules was fun
I could never myself
so you were the way

your taste is addicting
nicotine on your tounge
harmless race cars to
innocent murders &
yet I love you deeply
oh, how much I hate it

my guilty pleasure-
covering your tracks
should I admit this?
I secretly love the thrill
wishing I really didn't
how do I say this- despite
all my taunts, I might be
just as twisted as you
