15/M/New Zealand I write about the aftermath. / Of promises, pinky swears, and people who leave. / Poetry for the ones who stayed too long, or not long enough.
For some, I love you is enough. But who am I to be looked at like im too much? An ocean of touch, Of love, I'd give. But even then, you won't bear.

It almost worked
I knew you, we walked together in my dreams. I saw you, your eyes fluttered like they were in my dreams. I held you, your hands were cold as if they they begged for mine. You knew me, you knew how familiar I was in your eyes it gleamed. You saw me, You saw my love as we dreamed. You held me, you knew what I'd do, I'd love you at once Kiss you like mine And hold you like byzintine.

Without you
__I thought you still cared.__ _Still loved,_ You used to look at me _like I was your whole world._ Your person, your ___‘Pretty boy.’___ _Your future husband._ Yet before the sun could set, ___you left.___ _Like a flame that gutters when we drown in wax._ Who was I to you? _Was I just the moth you cupped between your palms just to feel the wings beat before dawn came?_ You compare me to your new person. _Using my ghost to crown your new king,_ _Am I not human too?_ _Twisted was my sense of humanity._ _My individuality,_ _Am I just a past memory waiting to be forgotten?_ ___All I am to you is just a comparison,___ _like the cold nights that live under your summer afternoons._

A comparison
__In Time__ To be understood, that’s all I needed. To be touched, not just skin-deep but _soul deep._ _But I was never truly seen._ _My eyes dulled_ ___hollowed.___ _Yours… gone._ I watched from behind _invisible bars_ As you kept living. A ___hollow man,___ _buried in memories._ _Stuck in the past,_ _Convicted by what I did,_ ___By what we were,___ ___By your love,___ ___your promises.___ And I still wonder… _Did God turn His face from me?_ _Did_ ___your eyes ever really care?___ _Was I just a stepping stone on your cruel little journey?_ ___“I love you,”___ I whispered, Heart still waiting for you to _come home._ _Mind frozen in time,_ ___A relic___ _waiting to be remembered._

In time
__I loved you the first time__ __I loved you the last time__ ___Mon amour___, your eyes, _like a peacock feather kissed by the sun, glancing between emerald and sapphire, as if nature blessed your eyes with petrichor and the scent of endless blue._ Hair like wheat fields, _a lion's mane swirled with amber and gold._ Curls _soft_ and _elegant_ _Unadorned but intricate_ You stood with ___peau beige___ skin Warm but yet so _cold and unsure_ It glimmers in the sun, ivory white _Unbleached, untouched._ You werent just perfect, _your heart was as kind as the first rain after a drought, gentle, soaking into the cracks._ Love ___soft___, ___kind___, ___Agape___ and ___selfless___. _All the things you do, the ways you move, they send me straight to heaven._
