20/M giving cpr to ghosts
in consideration of another, hold true to values that fade with time. we will always know wrong, but still we play our selfish games. that is the nature of us all: hypocrisy is only forgetfulness embodied. and integrity, a repeated ritual of right and wrong. afterall, we are just human: i am just human

an empath
the scent of perfume that still lingers on me heavy and pungent, yet loving and caring. the roses i gave to you on that monday morning, a reminder, everlasting and pure. remember it once, twice, maybe a third, but don't forget the roses that wilted I replaced anew, life that brought contours to your smile. the constant reminders of safety: did you get home? remember these little gifts i had given even when saddened or tired. the will to stay even as you push me away, painful, but love nonetheless. the promise i held "you, just you did i write infatuation with my heart." remember the gift: don't forget my love.

remember the gift
You said we don't work, and thought that I never cared But I'd showed you my love everyday, a love I had daily declared It was hidden in the "did you get home safe" I constantly asked of you Or the way I stared at your eyes counting them one by one, a pair of two The way I would proudly state "You are a mystery to me, I can't read you" and I would laugh at that thought as you left me feeling blue But nothing more apparent, than the way I said "I miss you" and how I would wait for you to call, to hear the words, "I missed you too"

i miss you too
i remember that sunset drive. cascades of light that folded in between our hands. and i watched you close your hands against mine. i watched the light between our hands fade — into nothing. pulling back was the only course i took to save us, but you will never know that, will you? it was on that drive did I realize... love is such a jading feeling.

that drive
it was, as it is like before and after I forgot and remembered all these big, yet little things that we call emotions. which made up who we were and the lost wishes we hold as we spiral out — of control. I remembered, I did... love you most

are these feelings jading?
i fought in silence, to hold back the tears that swelled in my eye. i fought the silence, hoping that these tears will soon dry. because no matter what you do, i fight me, to keep these memories of you.

i'm not waiting for you instead, i am counting the seconds, minutes, and hours that we are apart from one another. and to each measurement of time, i will recount... the seconds that i love you the minutes that i miss you and the hours where i stay, hopeful

patience
just you, only you can make the rhythms of my heart, swoon only you will ever captivate the entirety of my eyes only you do I write infatuation with my heart only you will I see, this world of You and Me

unconditional
the burden of another holds little value to each other. we grasp a branch and hold on tight yet loosen up when the time is right. we want someone to call our own but end up leaving them all alone. the brutal cycle continues on until the victim is fatally gone. yet in their departure, our eyes may cry that they had left without a single goodbye. so to another, we will run until this evil act is finally done. however, our deeds are often for naught for all the evil it has brought. the pain and misery of the former endlessly torment the performer.
