"Don't play with fire,"
my mother said when I was on all fours.
How ironic—
the same hands that once pulled me back
now hold the matches.
Yet another day,
when I was left burnt,
smoke rising from my pores.
Yet I remain alive,
like the liver of Prometheus—
forever healing,
only to be burned again.

He didn’t say, “She’s my girl.”
Instead, he said, “I’m her man.”
And that made all the difference.

I know he’s living his teenage years too late,
the years he gave to studios—
to dancing, to singing.
The nights he must have spent in silence,
reading words that cut deeper than they seem.
They call him fake when he bends,
blunt when he stands still.
They draw lines for his steps,
measure the curve of his smile,
and cage his words before they’re even spoken.
Still, he shines
like thunder piercing the darkness.
He smiles on stage,
while tears revolt quietly in his heart.
That’s him—the one we call “the star,”
the star we fail to see beyond the lights.

They danced in hallways
like ghosts.
I could smell their flesh
as they wept on my chest.
They cursed and howled at me:
"How long will you live?"
They wailed, rending me slowly.
But I'll keep them close,
my dearest memories.
You teach me that time never heals —
it only makes you numb.

The first love,
stirring waves in my stomach.
I buried nights in pages
rich with the words of wise men,
to unravel the anatomy of love.
While your smile kept pulling my nerves,
Shortcircuiting my brain.
And my mind,
the strongest,
traded its throne
with the weakest—my heart.

All the butterflies I felt
when I first saw you,
now crawl to my throat,
and choke me breathless.

Golden rims and grape wines,
adorning your corners,
You stood tall in manors,
no less in shacks.
You showed the world its countless versions,
each one living in a different soul.
Reflecting their smiles, their tears, and their fears.
Yet not once did anyone pause
to turn back and see you.
Oh, to be a mirror—
millions of eyes upon you every day,
yet never truly seen.

I buried you in those words,
Bound the old me within those pages—
The one who loved you,
A coward hiding behind ink and paper.
I wish for a different timeline,
One where we met differently—
A world where you were not forbidden,
Where loving you was not a sin.

Is love enough?
Enough to breathe.
Enough to heal.
Enough to forgive—
is it enough
when you hold the sword?
Is it enough
if I love you more,
if I burn to keep it alive.
Will it survive
if I steal my last breath for you,
Will it keep the love in me alive,
the me in us alive?

For this love that brings you shame,
Let it hide inside the dark.
Just hold me for tonight
When the sky is fast asleep.
I’ll be the stars
And hide behind the light.
Let’s steal this night
from the pages of fate.
Weaving memories together
for a thousand dawns to come.
