You know how people always build homes in the people they love? Me being the silliest architect there could be Built a tiny igloo in you With little if not no certainty, Within the bountiful depths and crevices In your mind of a maze and icy darkness of your soul I found a spot for myself amidst the craze, to keep myself warm and cosy from the cold. In this little safe haven I seek comfort in I established a place I called my own. My tiny space of refuge I call it, but in it I live alone. As loneliness kicks in I slowly explore outside of home, In search of a getaway retreat Nothing too fancy, nowhere alone. And then I realise how homesick I get When I dwell in the heart of another All I want to do is to return Back into a pair of arms that wont falter. Did I mention how I built an igloo in you and called it my home? Igloos melt in heat and my love, so did you. My home no longer.

homesick
Time with you feels like travelling through a never ending tunnel one that brims with uncertainty and complete darkness I never know what to expect from your pace and direction nor do I feel the existence (any longer) of (if any) connection I feed on the minute glimpse of sunlight that creeps ahead Stay my love, stay with me, you plead because you know this is a one way track and there really is no turning back We twist, we turn We crash, and we burn We crave, and we yearn We lose, and we learn I guess no matter where this takes us I have you, and you, me someday love will wrap around and blanket us instead and our bodies will bath in the light ahead

tunnel
Today I saw you as you. I saw everything about you. I studied you. I attempted to understand you. I shift my eyes away from yours diverting them to your ears the ears that listened to my incessant cries and heard my foolish fears I move down to your mouth which spoke to me only kind words and also incompetently mimic the chirping Of Abyssinian lovebirds I scan over your honey-olive arm and the smoothness of your skin which, for warmth, among other things I seek refuge in I hung my head earthward giving attention to your feet the ones that brought you far and wide just to let us meet You call my name. I glance back up and look you in the eye those eyes were now blank and cold I could not see you anymore, but I still try.

today i saw you
I am but dirt in soil I am the filth that thrives through the contribution of **** from dogs and mice You, you’re a ******* flower through the seasons of rain and shine you grow and bloom but no, I never called you mine Flaunt your bright petals and floral scent but remember that without me you could have never grown into someone so lovely

dirt
Am I just another eight digits in your mobile phone? Am I just a single thought when you’re sad and alone? Am I just another drop of water in the shower Or am I just that tiny piece of cake you devour? Sometimes you make me feel like I’m all eight digits, added up. Sometimes you make it seem like I’m all you ever think about. Sometimes you make me rain on you with strong gushes of water and sometimes I feel like the whole cake you devour. But more importantly, most of the time, I am really just……. an unfortunate another.

Am I just another?
why didn't you let me pull the satin strings, that secured your cardiovascular ***** why couldn't you expose yourself to me, the side that no one else can see? why didn't you undress your mind? why didn't you undress your heart? it's not like being naked is forbidden but wow, it's tearing me apart I don't think I can do this anymore, your touch, your warmth, your words, they come and go like promiscuous birds. I had feelings for you I could never explain to anyone, or anything. I have to go now, I have to go somewhere, that would make my heart sing.

bare yourself
my mind feels like it's been set on fire with the smoke of cigarettes that'll build an empire i could paint you a palace of words you desire and then back down, weak and torn, i retire i know sometimes i curse you with words of fire but my love, we both know you're a ******* liar

ire
you could drown me in a sea of hungry sharks or feed me to the menacing crocs in the parks you could smoke me like your last cigarette or down me like your last alcohol bet you could grind my bones and play with the  shards then mould them up again, into clean white cards with those white cards you shuffle me away and tell me "shoo" but my heart will still, no  matter what, run back to you.

my heart, it runs
They say absence makes the heart grow fonder but what the heck do they actually know? Each day without you, my heart begins to wander into tunnels of turmoil and bridges of woe How can I be fond of something so far away? How is it possible to be so devoted to something not within reach or sight? I wish I could tell you I miss you, because I really do.

far
You cross my mind once every five minutes. That means I think about you at least 12 times every hour. 288 times a day. 2016 times a week. I could tell you how the glowing moon reminds me of the light in your eyes that shine every time you speak. I could tell you how the vast ocean reminds me of your adventurous soul and how I want to discover every single part of you. I could tell you how the song playing on the radio reminds me of the time you sang to me out of tune but it was true music to my ears. I could tell you how the bitter cucumbers I had in my sandwich remind me of the nasty things you said to me before you didn’t say anything at all. I could tell you how much I miss you, but I don’t. because I simply could not.
