How I got over you.
Azariah May 2024
I stopped writing...

But after several years,
You just send me a text,
And I realise I'm a mess.

Because here I am.
In the late A. M,
Writing...

Missing you too.
I have no intention of responding...

Passage
Azariah Jun 2020
You see me as a dark passage you have to go through.
Leaving your fingerprints on my walls while trying to find your way out.
When you find the exit, you leave without looking back.

And I have to buy new paint each time...

Practising
Azariah Apr 2020
I've been practising how to fix my contenance by trying to carve a smile in the corners of my cheeks.

For when I see you again.

Young man continued...
Azariah Oct 2024
As I visit him, filled with history that cannot be thrown away.
In his museum, he is there, at the centre, a piece of art.
But still only a statue...refusing to move.
Refusing to yield a warm touch.


But who is truly foolish?

I think I am done...
Azariah May 18
No more foresaking my peace while unspoken conversation choke me,
No more letting butterflies flutter more than the need to,
No more protecting you, while leaving my safety to chance,
No more replaying great days that erase bad days,

No more magnifying your moments of sweetness,
No more living with you in my dreams,
No more building happiness with my tears,
No more I love you more than I love me,

No more painting red flags with white,

No more,

No.
Azariah Apr 2020
When he smiles,
Instead of butterflies,
I'm flooded with nostalgic memories of times spent together laughing like hyenas.
And roasting each other as if we were marshmallows on a stick hovering over a campfire.
Memories of talking over the phone for hours,
Where he does not whisper sweet nothings to me, instead we speak about the moon,
the stars, everthing and question why everything is the way it is.
This is why when I seek comfort I go to him.
Because I get more than this,
He gives me insight,
A different perspective
Or a reason to self-reflect.

He is not my pillar of strength.
He is the healthiest relationship I've had with a boy for years.  
He is Ray.
Like the ray of sunshine flowers need to grow.
He does not know this yet
but he is definitely the platonic love of my life.
My best friend and I always joke about how we definitely feel like we connect on an emotional level but we have never thought of being involved romantically.

Why?
Azariah Aug 2024
I'm scared to commit...

I feel like I'm with holding parts that have been hurt by others.

In this cold...

Blankets don't keep away the loneliness.

In 2024 version 2
Azariah Aug 2024
We are works of art,
and we are walking museums.

Let's be careful who we display our broken pieces too.

Possibilities
Azariah Dec 2024
It's easy to love someone you don't know quite well because the possibilities are endless.

... Once you know them a little more, the possibilities start to shrink...

... Like dreams that fade when reality sets in...
