Sun
I wonder which sun are you

Are you the one that rises
Giving me the warmth and light
As I smile at your sight

Or are you the one that sets
The one I will say goodbye
Wondering where you've gone to

Today, I don't know

You're at your peak right now
And I am blinded by the radiancy
Of how much I love you
You were eyeing the exit

With more yearning

Than you had for me
Who would have thought
That a collapsing world
Would look so beautiful
As she turns around
And smiled at me
For the last time
"Poetry in Motion"
Is such an accurate description
For every step you take
Another unspoken word was written
Poems as long as
The distance you placed between us
But I still hope
That you will stop running away
So I can finally
Put my pen down and tell you all the words
To stay with me
I don't want to love you anymore
I don't want to miss you anymore
I don't want to think
Or cry
Or beg
Or dream
For you anymore
I don't want
Anything with you anymore
Yet here I am
Doing all of that
Wanting all of that
And more
The first time we were together, you said

I didn't love you enough

The second time we got back together, you said

I loved you too much 

I am starting to believe 

That you just don't want my love at all

How am I supposed to act now?
One moment, we were like a movie
The main characters of a cheesy script
Fulfilling our roles so perfectly
The next, I find myself acting alone
Do I pretend it didn't hurt?
Do I pretend it didn't happen?
Do I pretend that the only person
Who knows all of me, who had me
Pretend they're not there anymore?
I don't want fame or Hollywood
I don't want to be some superstar
I don't want to have a new set of skills
Of changing faces and attitudes
No coach, no instructions, no guidance
I keep rewatching the moments we made
Rereading our last drafts of conversations
I am no actor or director or screenwriter
I have no plans for a scene or direction
I am just a man
Pretending to not love you afterwards
