It is beautiful to help the one you love, but is even more so beautiful to know that they don't need your help.

They can be strong all their own if needed be.

Luna Maria
It is silent
but I feel like a thousand words are spoken
we don’t look each other in the eyes anymore  
we don’t touch
we only wave
from across the room

goodbye ¿
is this the last goodbye
Rafael Melendez Apr 2020
My mistakes grow by the day, as does your apprehension.
Each night I wait for you, the edge becomes so clear.
Sharp glass with a sharper reflection, that cuts away at everything you thought you knew about me.
Everything I thought I knew about myself.
I know nothing of that reflection,  and neither do you, my love.
Rafael Melendez Apr 2020
Everytime you go,
My shadow follows.

It lays it's weight,
Upon your shoulders.

And I'm always so sorry.
Rafael Melendez Mar 2020
My heart is beating,
Louder now.
It's like it knows it's,

Alone,
with me.

Soon, I wonder if
it will stop beating.
Rafael Melendez Mar 2020
Would it make you feel better,
If I told you the sound of crying
Sounds like laughter at times.

It could be better, right?
Rafael Melendez Mar 2020
It brings me solace.
That you'll forget about me in time.
