Your hands cramp
from holding too much promises,
for holding on to a love
that stays like an ice sculpture
and the heart will shatter
as you witness a love
that you once held
turns to something
your eyes make
whenever you cry

You can't taste your tears
   when she wipes it away
before it reaches your lips

I guess luck
comes in different shapes
and mine took form of a woman.
A humble personality
that  matches the angels
It's as if God let down
one of His children
made me hold her hand
and gave me a heaven
that I can reach

My pen will never go empty
that means the moment I entered your life,
    I can fill the pages on the chapters I entered in your story
and let no ink be wasted
even when I'm left handed.

I'll carefully use metaphors
and give it to you like flowers,
to offer you humanity
instead of things
that can only last a day,
  just to let you know
your love is my ink
  and my pen
can never go empty

Lying in my room
   wondering what's missing,

   those brown eyes that matches the color of my coffee,
  my soft blanket that felt like your embrace
  or the alarm clock where I'm pretty sure it was your voice that
         woke me up 30 minutes ago

Sometimes "I miss you"
means
     every item in my room
remembers a piece of you
   waiting for you
to come back

It takes 1 kiss
   for the two of us
to say those three words
    that holds us for a lifetime.
At 5 Am we watched the sunrise
    I told you six of my fears
you said I was your 7th
   so you couldn't stand an 8th
you told me I was a benign one
and that I drop you off at 10
   cause 11pm doesn't exist on your father's clock

When you found love
   her kisses can cause alzheimers
and I got my first kiss
all over again
  
She can turn pain into a man
  that I've never met
and I can easily beat him up
     knowing all you need
to do is to fight

She can turn my traumas
    into monsters
She is the lamp and the teddy bear
  the protector and the way
             whenever I feel
my life is going dark

A woman who loves you
   can shapeshift into anything
you want
   All she asks for you
is just
be the man
that you promised her
to be

They said monsters are under your bed
      with big claws
            and sharp teeth
some called it the boogeyman

mine offered me a seat
       at our dining table
with firm hands
       and a perfect smile
I called him dad
