Your love
Reignited the dying embers
In my heart,
Making me glow
As bright as
The sun.

Being heartbroken
Isn't as hard as trying
To trust and love
Again.

Just remember that
There is someone out there
Waiting to meet you,
Waiting to fall in love with you,
Waiting to listen to
Your stories and heal
Your scars.

So don't waste your time
Feeling unwanted and cry over
Someone who fails to
Realize your worth.

Just because someone
Left you stranded and in a pool
Of misery doesn't mean
You'll not feel love once more.

Love will find its way
To you again,
One way or another.

Today or tomorrow.

Somewhere along the way,
My heart has stopped longing for
Your warmth and love,
The demons that run riots in my soul
No longer confide in your monsters.
I don't know you anymore and
I don't know
How to tell you that.

The memories
You left behind are like wine,
The older they get, the
Stronger the hangover
From it is.

Don't blame yourself for
Loving too much;
It's not your fault for trying to
Grow a garden of roses in
The desert of someone's heart.

You're full of love and
They just couldn't handle you.

Your eyes hold a darkness,
Which even the darkest nights
Would be jealous of,
And it's a perfect place for the stars
In my eyes to reside.

Sometimes I just want to
Rip my heart into pieces, just
To try and understand
Why you like doing it so often.

There is no vacancy in my heart
For another love
Because it is filled with the hope
That you and me
Will one day end up together.

Your love
Is the kind that is
Talked about in metaphors
And written into
Poetry.

Your love
Might not shine
Like the stars
In the inky black sky
But
It definitely burns
Like the sun,
And lights up my
Whole world.

You left me and
Made my heart bleed
In silent corners,
With the cacophony
Of my
Own heart beats.

There was nothing left in me
Except a few broken memories, and
The carcass of
Faith and betrayal.

Be my safe haven,
Take me away
From this dreaded world and
Be the silver lining to
My dark clouds.

Lull me into your arms
And hold me till I forget all my pain,
Drench the deserts of my heart,
You be my rain.

They thought
She was too fragile,
Too useless,
And over dependent.
They threw around words
That stung her heart
Like flames.
But she did not let
The fire
Engulf and burn
Her down,
She held the flames
In her palms
And became a torch,
Igniting
And
Lighting
Up the world.

You stripped
The warmth in my heart
With your dark and nefarious self,
Leaving me to wither
In the cold.

But don't worry, my love.

Just like larkspurs,
I'll bloom again
And let the wounds you left on me
Bleed beautifully.

When you show her
Your scars,
She caresses them
With her
Sunshine laced fingers,
Making daisies
Bloom out of them.
When you show her
Your pain,
She cups them
With the palms of her hands,
And hides them
Behind her ribcage,
Within the
Walls of her heart,
Making it
Beat down
Every bit of your pain
To dust.
She saves you
Every chance she gets
And she is
Nothing short of
A saviour.

You leaving me
Was painful. But seeing you
Torn and broken
By the person you left me for
Hurts me even more.

Color me elegantly with your skillful fingertips.
Brush my cheeks with bright shades of love.
Paint my lips with the truth that lingers on your own.
Touch my skin and make me glow in your warmth.
Wrap my soul fully with a palette of colors.
You be the artist and make me your world renowned masterpiece.

You came into my life
When I had no one.

You loved me
When I was unloved.

You accepted me
When I was unaccepted.

You embraced me
And held me close to you
When I couldn’t even
Look at the reflection of myself
In the mirror.

You made me believe that
I was beautiful.

You told me that love existed,
And I trusted your words
With all my heart.

But one day,
You left me without
Saying anything.

You just left.

What did I do wrong?

Why did you have to leave me
When you knew that
Every bit of me depended
On you?

You were just like everyone else.

You poisoned me with your
Honey laced lies, and
Stripped away every ounce of
Strength I had and
As I fell weak, you crushed me
Into your feet.

“Just why?”

The question is still lingering
In my mind.

There is nothing
More tenacious than her heart;
It has been
Crushed,
Torn,
Broken,
And shattered,
Into a thousand pieces
Over and over again
And yet somehow
Still lives.

She might be
Damaged,
Heartbroken,
Scarred
And
In immense pain,
But even in
Her most vulnerable state
She is beautiful.
And
What's most beautiful
About her is
Her strength,
Her tenacity,
Her resilience
And
Her courage
Which is as vast as the ocean
As she picks herself up
From the ashes,
From the wreckage of her life
To build herself
Once again
Against all the odds
And
Obstacles
Put against her.

When they saw you as a small,
Trickling water stream, I saw you as
An ocean filled with promises
Of forever.

When they saw you as a deathly
Flood causing casualties, I saw you as
A saving oasis in a
Faraway desert.

When they saw you as a disastrous,
Raging hurricane, I saw you as
A soothing rain on a
Summer day.

When they saw you as a half empty
Water glass, I saw you as
A glass that was
Half full.

When they saw you as a transparent
Raindrop, I yearned to see
Through you, but
I couldn't.

You could destroy or sustain life, the
Power rested in your hands,
You made your choice
To drown me.

Darling,
Whenever you feel
Like giving up,
Just remember that
There is someone
Out There
Still looking out
For your
Beautiful soul.

You were my stolen nights,
And sun kissed smiles.

You were my mid autumn colors,
And pale moonlight.

But now, you are just a fading memory out of my sight.

You are the stars in the
Night sky,
The little sunshine on
A cloudy day.

You are the soothing rain on a
Summer day,
The disastrous, raging
Hurricane.

You are old romantic classics
And love sonnets,
Beautiful
Yet so devastating.

You are art on street walls,
Making people look at you in awe
Before erasing and
Painting them over again.

You are candlelit dinners and
Slow waltzes in a fancy ballroom,
The late night jazz on a
Summer evening.

You’re the infinitesimal dust
And the
Cause of everything.

You’re the candle,
Illuminating the dark
But burning
Yourself down.

You are the midnight before
New year’s day,
The end and
The beginning.

You’re a multitude of paradoxes,
My love,
Devastating in
Your stupendous beauty.

I could show you all the stories,
Etched on my pale skin,
Waiting to be read and
Understood by someone
Whose name is inked
Across my heart.

I could show you all the battles,
That have been fought valiantly,
Inside my mind
Against pride and prejudice
That inflicted wounds so deep,
But hopefully
They shall be healed
By the medicine of time.

I could show you all
The mysteries from the
Darkest crevices of my mind,
Which may not be easy to
Decipher, but maybe,
One day, you may know
That all the false faces that I keep
Aren't the ones I own.

I fell for you and
You did too, or that's what I thought.
Too bad, I didn't know
That acting has always been
Your Forte.

They say you can't see love,
You can only feel it,
But everytime your lip curves
Into a smile, I see love.

They say you can't taste love,
You can only feel it,
But everytime you paint my lips
With yours, I taste love.

They say you can't touch love,
You can only feel it,
But everytime we entwine our fingers together, I touch love.

They say you can't hear love,
You can only feel it,
But everytime your laughter comes pouring out, I hear love.

They say you can't smell love,
You can only feel it,
But everytime your fragrance intoxicates me, I smell love.

From the crimson red sky
To the cerulean ocean,
Every shade that makes the
Horizon beautiful
Reminds me of you.

I still remember
The first time we met;
Your eyes locking with mine
In a crowded room and
It felt like waves
Crashing against a rock.

At that moment
I knew I was falling for you;
Falling and drowning
In those
Dark, caramel colored eyes.

The first time
Your fingertips grazed my skin;
I still remember that.
It felt like a thousand butterflies
Unfolding their graceful wings
Against my skin.

When you painted my lips
With the truth in yours, I felt
The broken pieces of my heart
Glueing itself;
And my world felt whole again.

The words you whispered
Into my ears;
I hadn't anticipated them. Your
Words mixed with my silences, those
Gentle words were mine
And mine alone.

We are meant to be;
An unwritten and unspoken destiny,
We live in silence. The words
Uttered are for us to hear.
I am yours and you are mine, with
Heads bowed, I submit myself
To your love.

You; to me, there is only you.
My words, my silences,
My deepest desires, my happiness
And my anguish, my flesh
And my passions; they all begin
And end with you.

Our flesh may wither away, and
We may become dust,
But our souls will remain together.
This love of ours is immortal,
And we will drown in one another
For an eternity.

If there is anything
I could be, I would love to be
Your mirror and show
You all the goodness you have
Buried within you.

I would love to show you
Everything that you have failed to
See in yourself and
Make you understand why
You are worthy of being loved.

In your arms,
I found a place into which
I fit perfectly, safely and securely
Without any doubts.

In your arms,
I found the strength and courage
To let go of all my fears.

In your arms,
I found the warmth needed
To melt my frozen heart.

In your arms,
I found my safe haven.

Nestled in your arms,
With our fingers intertwined
And your warm breath
Caressing the skin of my neck,

I knew I had found my home.

It only took one night
For her body
To become
A graveyard,
Only one touch;
An unwanted touch
Tainting her
Delicate skin,
Clawing
And
Mutating it
Into a bed of debris.
The light
In her eyes was
Stripped that night,
The warmth
In her heart was
Squeezed out,
And she was pushed
Into darkness
Where
Memories of
That wretched night
Haunted her
Like ghouls.
But even in
That darkness,
She managed to see
A glimmer of light,
A breeze of hope,
And she understood
That even
Lifeless Graveyards
Bear flowers
That still grow

I'd tear down the night sky,
And paint it with all the
Vibrant shades of the rainbow,
Just so that you wouldn't have to live
In this darkness again.

If I showed you my scars
Would you place feather light kisses on them and whisper in my ears
That you love me?

If I showed you the cracks in my heart,
Would you glue them with your love
And make a promise to always be there for me?

If I showed you my tears,
Would you collect those droplets in a jar and always keep them close to
Your heart?

If I showed you my darkest side,
Would you adorn it with little stars and a full moon, bringing some light
Into my life?

If I showed you my pain,
Would you lull me into your arms, hold me close to you and nurse my
Soul to breathe?

If I showed you who I am,
Would you accept my flaws and love me with all your heart, and hold my
Hand until death do us part?

All of a sudden,
The love which I thought was ours
Turned out to be mine.

Only Mine.

It was just me
Loving the both of us.

Alone.

I don't want to be the sun
Which shines bright light into
Everyone's life.

I want to be the moon
Which shines through darkness despite it's deepest wounds.

The fragments of light
You see in the sky tonight
Are not just stars,
They are pieces of my broken heart
Waiting to fall one by one
To grant your wishes.

Give me a place in your eyes,
For that's the only place I see myself
To be beautiful,
For that's the only place I could call
Home.

I was an artist,
My fingers tainted with
The vibrant shades of love but
You were a canvas
Coated with the deadly
Hues of heartbreak.

Of all the mistakes
I've ever made, the worse one
Would be falling in love with you
Even after knowing
That you don't have the space
In your heart
To love me back.

I love you enough
To let you go when you
No longer wish to
Spend your days and nights
With me.

I love you enough
To mask my true feelings and
Put on a fake smile
Just so that you would not feel
Bad for being happy.

I love you enough
To act like I'm okay when
I'm clearly not
Just so that you would not feel
Guilty for what you did.

I love you enough
To dissemble like I've moved on
When in reality I haven't
Just so that you could continue
Your life without me.

I love you enough
To pretend loving someone
When I obviously don't
Just so that you could erase me
From your memory.

You crushed my heart
And tore my soul into shreds;
You destroyed me
In every way possible
But it will not stop me from
Falling in love.

I'll fall in love again,
Like I've never been hurt before.

I don't want to be
The name on your blocked list and
Neither do I want to be a
Forgotten contact.

I don’t want to be
A phase in your life, or your
Flavor of the month.

I don’t want to be
The forgotten smudge of a handprint
On your window pane.

I want to be the
Dried lavenders you keep between
The pages of an
Old romantic classic, and
I want to be the beautiful handwritten
Letters that you keep under your
Pillow, holding them close
To your heart at night.
I want to be the
Pearls from a broken necklace
You’ve been treasuring
For ages, your wristwatch that
You always wear on your
Right hand.

I want to be the
Sweatshirt that carries your
Fragrance and be an old blanket
That keeps you warm on
A cold winter night.

I want to be the
Reason behind your smiles, and
I want to be your muse, be
Someone who you think about on
Your lonely nights.

I want to be the girl in
Your story, which you will
Very fondly tell your children
Before their bedtime,
Under the starry night sky,
A light smile playing on your lips
While doing so.

It's beautiful
How you give someone
All the power they would need to
Destroy you and yet they
Love you like you are
The only thing that's keeping
Them alive.

Heartbreak was inevitable
When my inadvertent heart
Encountered your
Cold, unavailable one.

Darling,
You may not be a garden of roses
But you definitely carry the
Beauty of the mid autumn leaves.
Even when they are falling,
The look beautiful.

"Fall in love again."

The whispers of my heart echoed
Through the empty room.

"For there's so much in you
Left to be ruined."

She
Is like the
Dreamcatcher,
Absorbing
All the
Horrible
And
Nefarious
Things,
And the
Negativity
Surrounding
The people she loves,
Leaving them with
Tranquility,
And the
Gentlest,
Most beautiful
Thoughts.

Your eyes are the painters that
Create the magnificent world that
You see.

Your hands are the paintbrushes which makes disaparte strokes that
Shape your future.

Your mind is a canvas on which
You paint everything that you desire to see.

This life that you live isn't imaginary,
It is your imagination that makes it lively.

Don't pay heeds to any boundaries you may encounter in your time,
Paint them too.

Paint the deep, dark corners of your life; fill them with a mellow shade
Of yellow.

Brighten your sullen days; imbue them with a bold and bright ray
Of vermillion.

When the leaves in your garden lose their sheen, revive them with a little
Touch of green.

When the sky starts to fade into muted pastels and the day enters into
An indigo of dusk.

Don't let the bright day merge into
The black night; turn on those white street lights.

Once you grow tired and your paint bottles dry, dip into the ocean of
Colors that line the sky.

Paint your mind with colorful lines that give you life, a sense of hope
And an emotional drive.
