when all else fails,
everything seems to go dark.
all hope is lost,
nowhere to go back.

under the bludgeoning of doom,
one stumbles hard.
hard to stand back up,
when there's no one who will regard.

then one door opened,
flooded everything with light.
it was you standing there,
ready to save with all your might.

yet everything is hanging by a thread,
including my hope and life.
you tried to support and save me,
but the thread was cut by a knife.
That’s the thing with us poets.
We fall in love too hard.
We get the worst heartaches.
And we still romanticise it.

Kiss me like it's not lust;
Kiss me like your love lasts.

Hold me like you'll never leave;
You're the one I love and I believe.

Please open your eyes and see,
My love is wider than the sea.

Kiss me like I'm in heaven;
For you are not my burden.

This poem is dedicated to you,
And this poem is only for you.

some people say letting go of someone you love is hardest thing to do;
but i say otherwise.

letting you go was the best decision i have ever done. it is because letting you go is also like letting myself go.

i know you are not right for me and having myself hold onto you just drags my heart like an anchor into the deepest and darkest abyss.

and you, knowing i love you and you don't feel the same because there is already that other person whom you let hold your heart with you.

i may have not gotten the chance to hold your heart, but i gave us both the chance to be free.

now, i am free to find the right one and now you are free to love that someone.

my smile is no longer fake, my heart is now unbound, my mind is finally made up, my tears no longer present, and i can now walk away with a satisfied smile.
dedicated to one of my friends for inspiring me and made me come up with this one after reading one of her brilliant pieces. hope you like it :) all the love ***

even
realize
they
have them
i fond over you
too much
it hurts like hell
