I want you to kiss me
Good night
Not goodbye.

To feel your hands
In mine forever
Through all the sorrows
And not just for now
Until tomorrow

To not let the unspoken
Be left behind
As well as me.

Crowded trains
And busy streets
Will they ever
Let our worlds meet?

Drifting thoughts
And long walks
Will they ever
Lead your steps to mine?

If it were up to me
I'd turn a thousand miles
Into a thousand ways
To make you smile

But maybe not now
Or tomorrow
But hopefully, one day
Someday.

You're so proud
Breaking all these fragile hearts around
But you're just as weak
As all the hearts you've caused to weep

I love you
And you'll never know
For I never say so

It's you
Residing in my thoughts
The reason behind
The ink being spilled
Into these papers

It's you
These words are
Pleading to stay
In between the lines
That I say

I shouldn't
But I need you
More than I thought
I should
And could

When you said
That you like to read
I immediately
Wanted to make you
A whole library

And maybe for you
I'd write even
The ones
I never thought
I would

But I don't know what your dream girl's like
And what she writes
And how she walks

Is she a happy one?
Because I feel so alone
Is she lovely?
Because all I know is I'm lonely

Will she read you books
Because I will write you poems
Every day when you come home
Will she give you love
For I will never leave

And when she walks away
Look around because I stayed

Can I still call you mine
Even if my words
No longer rhyme

Will I still make
Your heart skip a beat
When my words
Aren't as sweet

When I go
Will you leave a kiss
On my lips
And tell me
That I'll be missed

Because I'll love you
No matter what you do
Go away
And I'll stay
And wait

Until you give me your heart
And hold my hand

She was the Moon
And he claimed
To be the stars
Living around her

As dark as the night
They're up above
Sparkling their borrowed lights

Keeping each other company
While everything else
Gets too lonely

She may be whole tonight
But sooner she'll be
All torn into pieces

He may be a few now
But he'll be endless
Tomorrow

Never the same
Just like everything else

You won't see them
Come bright skies
But they're holding on together
Behind those blinding lights

Are you as broken
As you have made of me?

Suddenly, your warm embrace
The sweet words you say
Your lips
And the promises you always keep

Are being missed
Funny how
I threw it all to waste

Soft kisses lingering
On my skin
Along with bruises
You never meant
To leave

I miss those things
And more
But towards you
I feel nothing

She said she'd never let
Anyone in
But he figured out
His way to begin

Sweetest of words coming out
Of his lips
Along with promises
Intended not to keep

With every word he shares
Opening up a part of him
And showed her that he cares

He leaves her breathless
Proving her she's not just a mess
In spite of all her fears
She risked her heart
Didn't bother if he'll leave her in tears

She laid everything on line
But never got
To call him "mine"
For he never stayed

You gave me nothing
And I gave nothing back

But why do I feel
Like I'm still giving
More than what I'm getting?

I gave nothing
Yet it feels like everything

And as I cease to be the light
of your every night,
I would like to shine for you
one last time

I will shine my brightest,
I will be whole
just for you

I won't let the dark night
win against me tonight
All my hopes and dreams
for the two of us,
this one night couldn't suffice
but it's all I'm left with

Will you even notice me?
or are you all too occupied now
with another bright one
I guess it doesn't matter,
I guess it shouldn't matter now

I hope she keeps you company
and your nights never get too lonely
I hope she holds you tight
behind those blinding lights
the way I did
