I’ve made a *** of coffee
And filled a cup for everyone.
I pour the last drops for you
But my cup remains dry.

You tell me, you prefer tea.

I’ve made a cup of tea
And place the sugar bowl beside it.
You tell me, you prefer honey
But you’ll drink it anyway.

Since then,

I’ve kept tea in the cupboard
And honey by the sugar

Just in case you’d come around.

And I can’t remember if I, myself,
Preferred coffee or tea.

Four years sacrificed to you
Why did I stay so long?
Love really does make the heart blind, deaf and mute too
So you cannot see when it is all wrong.
Love is blind

I'm kind of stuck
At least... I think I am
Somewhere between telling everyone I know to *******
And "just please come hold me friend"

Some place in between an uneasy heart and hectic mind

"I'm depressed"
Can't I just say it without having to explain why?
Sometimes I don't even know which reason to choose

Short replies

"You seem like you don't want to talk"

You're right, but I also want to reach out
I want out
I want to let go of everything
And capture it all in my arms

like a fire fly in the palm of restless hands,
Just let me hold on to your light
Atleast, just for tonight

Because I'm feeling stuck.

Hello,
I hope you’re doing well
I thought about you the other day,
and I hope you haven’t forgotten how much I adore you.

I miss the way you speak;
sounds of sweet melodies play when words press through your lips.
The way you called my name resonates in the chamber that holds my soul.

You meant so much to me
but I’m glad that you’re no longer a part of my life.
A life without you would be more bearable
than carrying the burden of the memories we made.

I pray for you everyday
that you feel love for someone the way I felt love for you.
All I’ve ever wanted was to see you happy.

I started drinking more when we went our separate ways.
I couldn’t handle my emotions,
I didn’t want to stay sober enough to try.

I often look at pictures we took together,
it never took to many tries to get the perfect one.
My arm around your waist, flashes of love in your eyes.
We were so beautiful.

Every time I think about you it physically hurts.
I want so badly for you to feel it too,
that way you could know how loving you left me in ruins.

I feel so foolish,
my heart isn’t equipped to forget the person it felt for most.
But I fear I was never of much importance to you.

You left your fingerprints on my heart.
Sometimes I still feel you pulling at my heart strings.

No matter what you’ll always be a part of me.
You did something for me that others have tried and failed.
You set my soul on fire.
For You My Love

The more it hurts
The more I smile
because the smile has the power
To make it useless

You ripped it
my pretty little heart -
but that's okay because
now I can pin it
to a wall
and scream
This Is Art.
