This flower is getting sad, waiting for something that doesn't worth a wait. Just so you know I still am waiting, eventhough I know it goes to waste.

You grow flowers in my heart,
You draw lights in my dark.
You stopped the rain that is falling,
You brought sun in my sky.
You calmed the storm in me,
The lightning they screamed.
And whisper out the rainbow,
I didn't know I could be.

This is not my poetry
I sat here for hours, penned this down with tears,
Each word.
But this poem, it's not mine.
Your shirts,
smelled of sweat and cigarette,
a tiny bit of aftershave.
Your eyes,
they wrinkled up
with every smile.
Scruffy jeans,
Starched shirt.
You are a corporeal mess,
but irresistible still.
The image and likeness of God.
But this is not my poetry.
Each syllable, each word,
It's not mine.
What paintings are to you,
That's what you are to me.
You are art.
And art,
Makes me feel things.
I write when I feel things.
Yet this poem is not mine.
This poem is not yours either.
But
You are this poem
This poem is you.
You are poetry.

You're gone,
but I am still comforted
by your warmth.
You're gone,
but I am still safe;
for you have taught me,
how to find refuge
in myself.

i started smoking
because it is the
closest thing i
have to you.
how you used
to always carry
cigarettes with you.
the smell of smoke
followed you
(traced you, held you,
touched you, loved you,
loved you, loved)
wherever you went.
i grew to like it
even though
i consciously knew
that it was wilting
away at you.
the consistency
pleased me
(i was never
one to like change)
and when you left
you took the
smoke with you
and it was the
first time
i was truly burnt.
i told myself
that i would do
anything
to have that smell back
to be reminded
of all the good
memories
instead of the bad ones.
so i started to smoke
and now i can’t stop.
once again
you have plagued me.

My hands are shaking
Tears run down my cheeks
How my body is aching
Feeling so defeat
Hold me closer to you
I can feel your heartbeat
If only you knew
How this feeling could be so sweet
Be with me now
It's me who should be afraid
I'm sorry for being so loud
I never meant to push you away
Too anxious to tell you
what's going on
I can tell though
this is what you want
I'm not running away
forgive me now
I'm begging you to stay
The words just won't come out

the tears will dry
the heartaches will fade
the pain will go away
time will slow down
and everything
will feel still
and you will feel at peace
I promise.

'I Love you'
I say it a lot, like most do
The difference is, I only say it to friends and family
You see someone way before you said 'I love you'
I said it back thinking it was true
I broke down when I learned it was a lie
I broke down when he went back to her
You see he was the first guy I ever said 'I love you' to
I meant it when I said it
I guess that's why it hurt me so much
I guess that's why I build my walls up
I guess that's why I have only ever told him
'I love you'
I see the sadness in your eyes when I don't say it back
I know you want me to say it
But i'm scared that it will happen again
That you will leave
That you won't feel the same
That you will realize you could do better
I'm scared because I do
I do love you
I want to say it
But now i'm scared of 'i love you'

I love her
I desire her
More than anything
I can imagine
But I am unsure
I dreamt of her
I weep for her
I struggle with myself
But I never conquered
‘cos I am unsure
And at night
I hug my pillow
In my sleep
I held her tight
But I couldn’t keep her
For I was unsure
She kept coming
She kept smiling
But never opened her hands
To give me a warm embrace
Which is all I desire
And the more I am unsure
I never told her
I love you
I’ve never held her
In my hands
But I love her
Though I am unsure
The wound remained unhealed
The vacuum remained unfilled
The tears flow unstopped
And I’m losing her
Who is the remedy
‘Cos I’m unsure
And I’m losing her
Fast than I expected
Though she still smiles
The fear increased unmeasured
She loves me
I don’t know
For I am unsure.
