Hello, my name is nostalgia
I glide in through the morning fog
On a bed of yearning,
How sweet, how mellow
No remorse in my welcome
Only longing, sweet-scented

Ah, Nostalgia!
You're finally here.
Hearts and flowers on a bed of roses
Homesickness, oh those arms
Your embrace, my home, my place
My thoughts, dancing around this nostalgia
Soaking in it.

We met on a random moonless night
People and their laughter
by the beach
Waves mutely crashing
You were dancing with somebody I knew
Dancing out of tune
What a sight that was.

And here you are
The strongest foundation
my soul shivers at your sound
my mornings, evening and night
my comfort zone
my existence revolving around you

You called it friendship
I had other names
Your walls couldn’t keep my feelings away
I saw what you wanted me to see
I read what you wanted me to read
I wish you felt what I wanted you to feel
But I trudged along
Alone, in my feelings

Today I stand in this void
Without you
I have your number
You have mine
But today, only the silence is talking
Words have turned away

And now I wonder
If you struggle too
What if society has pinned you down
If you have given in and moved on
I wish I could have one last conversation
To tell you
How I’ve moved on
To know
Why you’ve moved on

There are five stages of grief
And after grief comes rebirth
I can enjoy the rain now
The birds and the clouds make me smile
I'm not scared to go to the beach
I can hope, I can dream
I can love
I can be,
Happier with just me.

Tell me again
asking out of interest
what have you done?

lapsed into silence
sheer intensity
as my heart shook, cracked.

Little did he know
How I spent the last three minutes
the prospect of being united, postponed!

Hello.
I am the trending poem.                                                            ­            
         you see me and I make you feel alive
                                             so you like me and re-post me
                                                              ­    then you leave me alone to die.
Hello,
I am your forgotten lines.
             you created me with a careful love
                                                          an­d decisive rhymes
                                      and then to the bottom of your page I'm shoved.
Hello
I am forgotten, alone and unloved
                           a faded smile a broken dove
                                               I once was beautiful, touching.
                                                       ­   now, I've been replaced, I'm nothing.

Solemn
Tears and ***** in hand
I've dug the grave
For this love
To nite
Strangers we are
Don't want to be under the same sky anymore

He said that's it - I'm done
I said good day to you too

Pack away the memories
Discard the hopes and dreams

Here we go again
At the edge.... ready to fall

----- point of no return

all poetry
and poets
are muses

but I can never have your heart
as you can never have my head.
