though clouded with doubt,
I let myself believe in your version of truth —
until I no longer do.

though I am certain,
a single question
is enough
to send me
to the pits of
endless doubt

there's beauty
in letting the sunrise of your smile
pierce through the stained glass windows
of my shattered heart —
illuminating the picture
of what could have been.

I've always been the moon whose light was never enough,
and you were Icarus who was too enthralled by the sun

I let your warmth melt my cold facade,
Entangled in intimacy & vulnerability,
We've reached an equilibrium —
Creating the warmest winter

I'm no lightweight when it comes to drinks,
But when I drown myself in your words -
I lose the battle against intoxication

once again I'm in the dark
lighting the candle
over and over —
until I finally lit up the candle
only to realize
I've used up all the matchsticks
and they're all looking at me,
burnout but happy,
that finally there's the light
and I found my purpose
