I will always want you
Like how the Moon persists in the morning sky
To leave the stars and meet the Sun.

im done

I’m dry
I’m done
The part of me that desires you is gone
Some pieces need you
But a lot is smarter not to come near you
With half a heart
And perhaps, when it first doubted
Then some parts started pleading
Some parts are now pathetic
Melancholic
And a whole lot is silent

for now

maybe I will outgrow you

forget how bright your eyes are

stop smirking as I remember you laugh

but for now, just let me think of you from the moment I wake up until I dream tonight

From the One Who Truly Did

Endless combinations of every word
Written. uttered. read.
She returned the most heartbreaking
As I told her three of the most abused in existence.

"I love you."

She replied silence.

You

they, unique at first,
eventually turned out
to be like the rest

you, on the other hand,
a strand of grass in the field
yet deemed be like no other

and i have adored you ever since -- circa 2013

temptress

your eyes, melody
your smile, a thousand drum beats
my heart, **rhythmless

haiku 2 - circa 2010

Maybe

sanity has lost it
and I am yet to find
tranquility despite
tragedy of this
hopeless mind

your eyes, your smile
just the thought of
you weakens me
yet I know this is
useless, helpless
can't you just see?

I wonder how long
will I stand
trying my best
to make things
work in hand

maybe, just maybe
losing you is for the best
but maybe, just maybe
I hope you'll come back--
back in my arms again
