19/F i write when i love, or when gone is my love
its dark. dangerous. a hint of light flashes just every 12 seconds. but the waves, they- look like theyre saying hi they sound so inviting, like they reach the shore just to pull me closer its dark. i should be scared or worry that the waves are gonna wipe my existence away. but the wind slaps me hard in the face as if fear is its to erase if the sea would eat me alive, can i kiss my mom goodbye?

they could just keep it low let time do the work but instead, they write and they write and **** themselves twice. their words and guns are alike shoot their own chest to prove one that had left with foolish fantasies, they deceive sense “but what about love?” is what they say.

and poets lie
the starting line of a poet is when the muse has left so i write faster what i couldn’t say to your face i drink my thoughts burning hot “i shall not think of you anymore” a flying feather of hope to write you into being my forever

why call me love if it doesnt cost you- you? my love is a lifetaker, it kills me just to breathe you a little. my love sculpted me into a stranger, one im not sure you will adore. why call me love if you wont give me yours? my love isnt for highschool romance, it isnt for you to trial. my love is mad when being fooled, it is very much fragile. why call me love at all? why plant the seed if you wont water it? why call me love if i am not your love? my love fades if it ain’t you, but it bleeds if you say the untruth.

the most misused word
needs and wants are 2 very different things. i know my needs and wants very clear. of all the flowers in the garden, i want the one in navy blue. of all the fish in the sea, i want the one swimming away from me. and i know my needs. for when unmet, i find my lungs shrink as i grasp for the air that carries your smell. because i can live with you not loving me back, but i cannot live without you. i know my needs and wants very clear. and it is you.

needs vs wants
it wasn’t a burning love at first wasn’t “i wanna be yours” it was quiet and gentle you were quiet and gentle yet because of you, my heart is spring again a silent bloom slowly gets out of hand you are a light, you are a flame you birth flowers and torch my pain

love is light, love is flame
it doesn’t hurt anymore. but I hold my breath heretofore. when she gave you a letter, and it touches you heart. that’s what I planned to do. that’s what I wished I do. on a valentine’s night, but we part before that. I’m trying to let go, but your eyes says “mi amour” you said to forget you, but my heart chose to ignore and I try to stop smiling at our photo box strip. where you fixed my hair in place, though it’s the first and its the last time we kissed.

Valentine’s Night
got caught holding our hands, smiled so wide at your gaze. but I told my mom we’re just friends. it was a moment, and I’ll love you either way. got caught listening to your spotify playlist, are those for me? or am I just one of your to-play lists? ‘cause I told my friends we’re just friends. it was a moment, but I loved you either way. and now the whole world laughs, but I bet they don't know how I look into mirror, suddenly your hands on my waist as you deliver, those kisses on my hair they don't know, they don't know how I look desperate in your arms waiting, wanting, and now it’s all gone and I look into the mirror, suddenly your hands on my face as you deliver, those kisses I needed but I know, yea I know, you know I’m left with all this dreams of what we could've been.

What We Could’ve Been
you would be in my 7 minutes. wisteria and your pretty smile, saturn’s ring and your iris. you, and the sweater you gave me

7 Minutes
Even though you already left, My eyes keep searching for you. They highlight your traces, pre-aim your existence, Placing you in the corner of their frames. My head still turn when I find that smell, Though I said to my friend I’ll burn you in a death cell. But as Simon said to Daphne and she said to him as well, “I burn for you”, although it’s hell.
