Only to you
do I want to share the fragile whispers of my hidden dreams.
Only with you
do I long to share my solitude—
to bare my soul,
to give my all.

I haven’t met you yet,
but still, I wait.
My impatience has worn me thin,
has carried me here,
to this quiet ache of missing you—
a stranger.

As a new born clenches to its mother's *****
I too tend to clench on the tenderness of love you give
Or rather I think you give and know I feel

As I did so freely once before
A love like this I still yearn
I still miss her til this day
The girl who loved so freely
Or should I say, so naively

Her love I miss
The tenderness of the petals and the ****** of the it's thorns
She is the love I know
The love I wish still existed

You seem like such a distant image
A far away destination
Will I find you again?
One day I hope I do

As a newborn clings to its mother’s *****,
I cling to the tenderness of love—
Or the illusion of it you seem to give,
The warmth I think I feel.

Once, I loved so freely.
A love unguarded, unscarred,
But now I yearn for that girl—
The one who dared to embrace the petals
And endure the thorns.

Her love I miss,
Fragile yet fierce, fleeting yet full.
She was the love I knew,
The love I wish still bloomed.

But you feel like a distant echo,
A mirage beyond my grasp.
Will I find you again?
One day, I hope I do.

I'll hide, I'll hide
I'll crave, I'll crave
I'll yearn, I'll yearn
I'll let go, I'll let go

Just to come back
I hate thinking about it because it shows what I lack

Hold my rose and I'll hold yours
Let's make it a beautiful love story
Coliwe Nov 2024
Great and mighty you claimed to be
And in this, in you, I believed
A savior from the love I know
Be me and the love that I hold
I can finally show

But all a lie it turned to be
How couldn't I see that Hades
Is who you'll turn to be
A trick, a lie, a mirage
A trick, a foony, a facade

Well I've decided, in Zeus I shall no longer be in need
For comfort in me, I shall seek.
No longer will I scour for a god
For I will be my own strength, my own gaurd.

You have sailed me in the direction you found best fit
You rode my calms and concluded this was the voyage best fit
So changed directions and went left
Even in that I tried to make your ride cleft

That displeased you too, so aloof is how you set to be
You became frustrated with your confusions
Blamed it on me that you have went astray
You threw your rocks at me and screamed that I'm the one so blame
You don't want me but the fish I provide you still want to take

But my currents have had it
I'm sick of your weight that I need to carry
So now this is where I turn
You curse my calms so I'll bless you hurt
I'll make you feel the vigor

I'll throw the boulders you once threw
I'll take you down deep and show you
How cruel I can be
I'll overwhelm you with my being

No more will you experience the calmness I was gave
Feel me, feel the wrath you once gave
I am the Ocean, your source of gain
But quickly I can turn to your source of pain

You charted my waters as you saw best,
Rode my calms, claimed it was your test.
But you turned left, leaving me bereft,
Even then, I tried to make your journey cleft.

That displeased you too; aloof, you became,
Frustrated by confusions you couldn't name.
Blaming me for the course you chose to stray,
Yet still, you take my gifts while casting me away.

But my tides are done bearing your weight,
I’m sick of your burdens, your fickle state.
So now, I'll rise, no longer meek,
You cursed my calm; now feel what I speak.

I'll hurl the boulders you once threw,
Drag you down deep, and show you too
The cruel depths of my storming heart—
Overwhelm you, tear you down and apart.

No more will you know the peace I once gave,
Now feel the wrath of my vengeful wave.
I am the Ocean, your lifeline, your bane—
I can gift you life, or drown you in pain
