My naked soul. / “Poetry is just the evidence of life. If your life is burning well, poetry is just the ash.” / -Leonard Cohen
Wore a dress today. They told me I looked beautiful In those colors and flowers, Matching my messy hair. Why...? Should I change who I am? Am I not beautiful when I wear, Whatever I wear, What my heart tells me, My own way?

Wore a dress.
Strumming my fingers Through your arms As if I'm gently Playing my guitar. Music in the background As if each vein, trying to scream aloud, whispers a sad Yet beautiful story Your scars try so hard to hide.

As if
You may weigh a ton, But it's so much better having you in my arms Than carrying a ton on my shoulders For not having you.

Scales
The phone is ringing. Incoming call, Incoming pain. When will I hear Your voice again?

Pick up
Please. I begged you not to. So many times. But darling, so stubborn, So naive, like a movie, A romantic comedy, You fell in love with me.

Please
The goldish ring color is fading, The polaroids are old and dusty, My heart is cold even though it's pacing. Tell me darling, in my sleep, Is our love gone with the ring?

Fade.
I wish I knew... Was it your choice Or did faith draw the line? Were the stars not aligned when you left, leaving me aside? Do you have conscience of your selfish acts? I'd rather think so Yet we were just kids Living on the edge of innocence.

Move on.
Funny when you tell me The thing you need is an anchor. Because the last few days Have taught me so much. All I wanted when we first met was to know that we would leave together. But from the start I could feel it, I felt like I was going to be suffocated. The last several weeks, I have laughed more, I have done more… And I finally feel free. And by being free I can see now: Constantly trying to fix us Is the thing that has been killing me slowly. And I don’t want to do it anymore, I don’t want to fix it or fix us anymore. Maybe instead of loving you so hard I should be myself for a while. I should love me. And you should love you. I want so much for you. For both of us. So much more than this. More than being stuck With someone who feels stuck. I want you to feel free too. But no matter how hard we try, We have to realize some things Just can’t be fixed.

Finally.
Times are hard, Yet that is when I love you the most. Everything is harder when you're gone Or when you pretend you are. I just want to be yours. When you hold me in your arms, When you kiss my forehead, When you slide your hand through my hair. *Believe me If you don't believe in yourself;* I belong with you. *I often wonder if You also belong with me.*
