I hope
that when our paths cross once more
you won’t notice my hands
reaching out to touch yours
I hope
you divert your gaze
and never look back,
continue your journey
without holding still the remorse
of a failed love story
I hope, sincerely,
for you to live life fully
without having once cross your mind
the thought that we were not born in this lifetime
to be one another’s burner in times of storm.

Everything I write, everything I draw; delete

The things I create, I cannot complete

Is it being insecure or being lazy?                                                            ­                                                                 ­     

I don't know how to be a productive lady                    

I feel stupid                                                           ­                                                                 ­                                                  

Since I can't anything executed

My work lives in the recycling bin

It's close in resemblance to a din

The backspace key is faded

My soul is abraded

I hate that I can't articulate

Does anyone else relate?

At least this poem is finished but it has no real end                                                              ­                                

I hope it shows what I intend

On the day you left
I went to class
I couldn't concentrate
I read your last message
I thought it was a mistake
I tried to eat lunch
I wasn't hungry
I read your message
I scrolled through reddit
I scrolled through Facebook
I searched for you
I couldn't find you
I read your last message
I thought perhaps
you were scared
I checked my Snapchat
You were gone
I read your last message
I did laundry
I tried to study
I read your last message
I thought it was my fault
I cried
I wrote a poem
I read your last message
I went to the library
I pretended to study
I read your last message
I met with a friend
I stayed up late
I laughed and joked
I went to my dorm
I plugged in my lights
I changed into my pajamas
I read your last message
I watched funny videos
I didn't laugh
I unplugged the lights
I read your last message
I repeated the words
I stayed up way too late
I thought perhaps
I never mattered to you
I didn't touch my phone
The message is burned
inside my head

giving other lives a meaning
not caring about yourself
is that what selfless is

you don’t even care
when you’re happy or not
as long as they’re happy
even without you

‪i don’t wanna live anymore‬
‪well probably because‬
‪i already saw everyone‬
‪i drew different faces on my mind everyday‬
‪they appeared in my dreams every night‬
‪they’re blurry and happy‬

‪i don’t wanna live anymore‬
‪well probably because‬
‪i already felt everything ‬
‪sometimes i imagine that i do‬
‪sometimes i just felt everything at once‬

‪i don’t wanna live anymore‬
‪well probably because‬
‪my whole existence has been something‬
‪i never really wanted‬
‪and i’m just obliged to live this life‬

‪i don’t wanna live anymore‬
‪well probably because‬
‪i could already picture my future‬
‪i’ll be dead and that’s the end.‬
I think of this every night and every day. Anyhow, death still scares me.

fear

the fear of loving you
the fear of losing you

but I will not let
the waves of fear
engulf my ship

I will dive into the
depths of your embrace
and let the storm in your eyes
carry me out to sea

-I will not need a life vest this time
Fear does nothing but hold you back. Jump, then fall.

Summer is
                                 quickly
fading to Autumn
where leaves and acorns fall

just as I have done for you
                                -quickly
you were an unexpected gift
