I'm not sure how to love another,
For I even struggle with my inner voices,
And when the time comes to gather,
The courage within me falter and dissolves;

I've tried to love the best I could,
Gave my all to the highest bidder,
But instead fulfilled my heart remained hollowed,
And I couldn't trust myself to be your lover;

I gave myself a chance to dance,
Along the lines of his sweet nothings,
Until his music played to different tunes,
Leaving me a lonely and miserable being;

I wanted to believe in the one,
That person who makes it all right,
But every time I fall for another man,
Darkness creeps in swallowing the light;

I told myself that time will heal,
But with every ticking my heart bled,
The flow so rapid I now can't feel,
Should I ever find love when it comes to meet;

I wanted to be loved by only him,
From this day onwards till eternity,
But chances are only in my dream,
For he knows me not in this reality.

I
I told a lie once,
About how it didn't hurt,
When he left me in silence;

I broke my heart,
To pour out words for him,
But there he goes tearing me apart;

I fell too fast too soon,
His charm got me ensnared with his ways,
And I looked up to him for he was my moon;

I washed away his memories,
For tears flowed freely at the mention of his name,
Even though it's been long it's still him I miss;

I had a hard time rhyming,
It doesn't help that I could barely think,
Not when he was the missing link;

I stayed up to plan my dreams,
Hoping maybe he'll return with me to reality,
But this world has only place for the grim;

I used to love you,
Every detail of your being ingrained in me,
Until the day you made me blue.

She's got brown eyes,
But it took her years,
Before she finally realised,
That his love was lies;

She's got brown eyes,
It lights up when she smiles,
But it takes her many tries,
For happiness she denies;

She's got brown eyes,
That tell stories of surprise,
An ending one would not reprise,
For it progresses till it dies;

She's got brown eyes,
Oh how they mesmerise,
Even the cowardly of mice,
And heartbreakers in disguise.

I used to line my eyes,
Stained my lips red,
Picked a flirty dress,
And his day made;

I used to kiss goodbye,
Wake him with a smile,
Once I even made him cry,
But it was all worthwhile;

I used to write him love,
Long calls between hours,
For him mountains I'll move,
Just so the moment's ours;

I used to be a fool for him,
Put him first above others,
But once he cheated on a whim,
It was over in a matter of hours.

She
She's the type of girl,
Who speaks in ink on paper,
Every word a string she twirls
around in lines of endless forever;

She's the type of girl,
Whose gestures are speech,
Her ****** expressions a tell-tale
sign of her being out of reach;

She's the type of girl,
With lips pursed tight,
A hint of smile in one corner
and a kiss hidden in plain sight;

She's the type of girl,
Who wears her heart on her sleeves,
Her soul laid bare for the world
to see as she continues to give;

She's the type of girl,
Who loves with all her might,
Despite the broken pieces
she constantly tries to clumsily fix.

Him
I wish I could trace him,
Like the pages of a favourite fiction,
To read his lips with each word escaping,
Run my fingers through every thought,
That tangles in strands of deep poetry,
His taste lingers on my skin,
As I catch the twinkling stars in his eyes,
A constellation of lovers and missed chances,
I wish I could decipher every secret he held,
In the beating of his pulsing veins,
The loneliness coursing through his being,
For I wish I was made to fit his contour,
A piece of puzzle to his dreams and more.

It's easy to fall for the sea,
For it opens up to you,
Its feelings you can see,
For it's multiple shades of blue;

It's easy to want to fly,
For it takes you places so high,
The many levels of the blue sky,
You'd be too happy you'd die;

It's easy to love another,
Their faces and phases a wonder,
But to love yourself takes forever,
When it should've been easier.
