we broke each other
so much
that we couldn't see the
remnants that we
once
loved.
love, aura.
aura Jun 2019
i came to this website a little over a year ago
seeking for redemption
seeking for forgiveness
seeking for reflection.

it was only until i gave myself a good look
a good look of my words
to see how broken
and misplaced i was
in the world of dreams and
in the universe of open eyes.

i'd like to say thank you
for the beautiful words each
poet has ever written,
for the support and understanding
of my pieces,
for the healing i never thought i
needed.

thank you for always being a welcome place that i go back to
and feel just the same amount of home within my heart
every time i do.
yours sincerely,
mei.

it's like i need to ask,
as if my brain needed permission,
to be away from all my sins—

to request for rest that can't be given.

pretty words
slip
off
your
lips
as if they were the
honey
lavender
and chai
that you love to drink.

as bitter as the coffee you seem to inhale
there is nothing more sweet
than the way you have me
wrapped
seamlessly,
endlessly,
around your being.

i am nothing short of
enamored
by you.

picked up the phone after one too many years
after "i'll do it later," and never "now."

missed hellos, goodbyes, how are yous,
i love yous and me toos.

wished i got another chance to dial your tone
to tell you everything i always meant to.
call your mom.

today i learned that
you were a little bit allergic
to
everything.

despite questioning it all,
i'd still love to have the
faraway dog farm
you dream of.

i'll just have to give you benadryl every day,
for the rest of our lives.
