If you're late, there's no hurry. If you're not ready, just take your time. If you're holding on to the tiniest hint of resentment, I'll understand. No matter what, I'll meet you there. Just promise me, you'll give me a chance, to call you mom and dad again.

Will you meet me halfway?
Dear ___, I’m writing this more for myself — a bold attempt to let go of things carried quietly for too long. Life. It’s hard, harder still when I’m tired, or hurting myself. On these hard days, the feeling of alone superseded the need to show up. But for the pieces of family that still matter to me. — for those who try their best to show up, for the memory of people we miss… In a world made of struggles, I never dare to ask for perfection. A humble, tearful cry. I don’t want to feel invisible. I selfishly ask for love that means something more than shared dinners once a week.

I need help, even if I don’t always know how to ask for it perfectly.
I only seem to write poetry About love, heartbreak and pain And no matter how many i write The emotions stay swirling in my brain I try to write about life and happiness Of moving forward and contentment But it seems I can only Write About love. Heartbreak. And pain. Maybe when i love again, I can flush the swirls out of my brain. Until then please bear with me With my sappy heart melodies Coupled with gut wrenching pain. 19/07/19

(not) sorry.
The smell of bed hair a gentle reminder of cloudy mornings spent An unshaven face coarse to touch but melts my heart all the same A deep exhale of how long it’ll last not long soon after this playful love dance ends too fast. prologue: A dance of ignorance a game of who loved less with silence our paths stay unchanging with my heart unattended is it you that is missing?

A morning to remember
Thoughts of you linger Seeping through the cracks Clouding up my mirrors Faint whispers say yes Hopes of a future it offers Sweet temptations of the Devil Ravenously chasing after thoughts Constantly fearing what its not Reality blurs quickly as i see The distances between you and me The day i stop writing of you Will be when your face Disappears from my heart’s view

Post breakup Withdrawals
I love that I can make you smile A thousand miles away I love that you always feed me filling my tummy, heart and soul I love that after every tussle We end up in a warm cuddle I love that you are silly But i wish you were more like me Our music tastes differ slightly So we’ll just be together silently I hope you show me more affection please give me a more emotional reaction With kisses and words filled with cuteness Like this poem i wrote about us Its not my first poem nor my last of us Just as the days will past I hope our love will last 26/12

More than words
making analogies to express how i feel but it feels a bit patah like when i tell my therapist i feel like a cactus that needs orange juice and they excitedly pen it down but i dont even understand what i mean but analogies dont work when you need to explain to your lecturer why you're always late they don't work when you ffk your friends " again?? this is the fifth time this month!" but what can i say but, " i just feel like an ocean with a door, Paralysed as people keep opening and shutting up" ... ... They wont understand. Because my analogies are broken. Like my a/c that refuses to stay cold what use is an analogy is no one can understand? 18/04/08

Wish i didn’t have to Pay someone fifty to let taps run dry Wish i didn’t need to Chase my highs Across the way Under the fly Wish i asked for directions Still stuck in the tunnel Wishing as the lights go by

Tunnel
Kiss me gently Our hands together All i long for is for Clouds and rains Bitter and sweet colliding Melting together in darkness Filling the void with blissful sighs 11/08/08
