does it always last?

that fresh love,
so sweet, so tender

that beyond long years
you shall remember

and even when
you swear you hate

that initial promise
guards the gate

or is it weakened
by gentle time

and recognized
by a look's remind

and laid upon
its partner's breast

when both lovers
sleep their final rest.

where did we go
so far across oceans
that we forgot about the fruit
of our backyard tree?
I want to go somewhere
despite this proclamation
Life is an ever-evolving thought in everyone's mind.
i suppose
i love my scars
because
they have
stayed with me
longer
than most people
have
Why
Why do you push people away?

"I want them to be happy."
Am I still alive when my feelings died?
Yes I died before and you never knew where I was buried
So today I will tell you more and you will know me more
I will tell you about my feelings
But the truth is true when you know all of them
You will receive that I am still waiting to die
With all of the feelings that growing up in my heart day by day
If I speak to you, will you listen?
If I tell you, will you feel like I am a liar?
So let me die at this moment I tell the truth
That I am still alive, and my feelings died,
but I am not heartbroken

I stand for all forms of peace
and against all forms of war.
Can we love each other
as we are human?

My heart is burning
and I see a fire burning
Making it ashes that look real and now it is turning
My heart is burning
and you are afraid to see a fire burning
Leaving me with him and never telling me a warning
My heart is burning
and we are no longer staying
Bringing the loves we've found after and now it is loosing
Now, my heart no longer exists
And will your heart be his substitute?
Look inside that furnace
Would you hurt your hand just to save the remains from it?
My heart has burned
And it turns out that love is real

I LIKE TO SAY YOUR NAME

I like to say
your name

when you're
not here

turn you
into sound

conjure you out of
thin air

so that you appear
before me

dressed in sound
only

memory sketching in
the rest of you

as if sound
was just an outline

and love
colours you in

adding the voice last
so I can hear you say.

"Hello you..!"
and there you are

as present
as present

can be.

I like to say
your name

when you're
not there.
