I have all this love
And nowhere to put it
It's rotting inside me
Soft,warm
Unspent.

I reach out in dreams
But wake up alone
His name buried in my throat
Like a secret
I was not allowed to say.

He didn't stay
But the love did
And now it grows wild
Inside a heart
With no one left
To give it to.
Someone once read my words
and told me that I had this ability
to sum up heartbreak so beautifully
I laughed,
shook my head,
and wished I really couldn't.
Sometimes it can take years,
decades, even a lifetime to realize
Not getting what you want
was a blessing in disguise.
You keep searching for calm
in the midst of chaos,
hoping to find
some shreds of it,
like a seeker
trying to find treasure
in the midst of ruins.
All because
you fell in love with chaos
and your heart
has never known calm.
What is in a glance?
You ask me..
Sometimes a lifetime.

Can a moment hold eternity?
I wish it could
Whenever you are in front of me.
