you wanted the universe,
so I started building the sky for you.
I hung up lights so when the dark arrived,
you had glimmers of hope
—one for every time you thought
it was living with you
instead of just visiting.
I once brightened your nights,
but you tore the stars down
because the sun was here to replace them.

I chased clouds away so you wouldn't
be caught in a downpour.
I became a shelter when they sought
their revenge and hit the ground running.
the wind was breaking me down,
but I held you despite the pieces it stole.
when the storm passed,
all you saw was the rainbow,
and didn't notice I took out the blue.

I did everything I could,
but I could not do everything.
you wanted the universe,
but I could only give you the world.

"It is so amazing to be in love"

I want to touch his face,
just like yesterday
my palm now is capable to recognizing his edges,
his curves,
his pieces
unlike my eyes,
my soul remembers him so well

"I don't want anybody else"

what a cruel human-being he is
pieces by pieces was i cracked
he did not even make a turn
my broken heart
what a heartless human-being he is
thread by thread was i stitching
he offered no hand
at first I thought you are different, no matter what might be happening between us, we will still like we used to be because you are different. While the other keep telling me that you are just like the rest when it comes to breaking up, I do not believe in them so please don't let me believe them .

Feeling this bitter chill,
                 Intruding upon my body,
Warmth I'm craving,
                 Seems to elude me,
I sit nearer the flames,
                 Yet feel not their heat,
I listen to music,
                 Still can't hear a beat,
Spiraling down,
                 Where will it stop,
With me at the bottom,
                 And sadness on top.

is opening my front door
and seeing your face
in living, breathing color
finally, finally
I've missed you
get in here


is talking with you
for hours about everything and
laughing at the guy in the
grocery store who was
pushing guacamole like a drug
and inappropriate jokes and
quantum physics

is your hands in my hair
running through it so gently and
cupping my face
your fingertips on my skin
skimming lightly
making goosebumps rise
and fall and
rise again

is the taste of you
your/my hand balled up
a fist in my/your hair
a hand on the throat
nails down the back
bruised lips and
hitched breath
and just who is
holding who, here?


is looking in your eyes and swimming in an ocean of blue
drifting to sleep in your arms
or dancing with you in the car

is falling in love with you
and the surprise of
feeling that headlong
rush once more that
I thought was just a symptom of
first love; fleeting and never
to be felt again
I know this one is a long one. Believe me I could go on and on forever about this. I haven't felt this happy in a very long time.

Not now
Not once
Not ever
Have I wanted you to see how I truly feel.

I'm fine
I'm okay
I'm happy
The lies I tell so you don't know how I really struggle.

Don't worry
Don't stress
Don't ask*
All things I say so you don't find out how I really suffer.
I lie so you can be okay with the decision you made.
So that you dont find out just how much I wish you hadn't have done it.
I pretend so that you think I've moved on from it.
So that you don't realise just how much I haven't moved on.

I was yours but you were never mine
In the midst of those dark clouds
I was your sunshine.

The essence of your smile
Wiped all my tears.
The voice of your confidence
Vanished all my fears.

But all of it was just for a while
Cause I was yours
But you were never mine.

Embraced your tears
Craved for your smile
Loved your anger
And all those pretty lies.

But all of it was just for a while
Cause I was yours
But you were never mine.

The warmth of your breath across my face
The shiver of your touch filled all the space
The syncing of your lips across mine
The whisper of your voice reverberates in my mind.

But all of it was just for a while
Cause I was yours
But you were never mine.

When you were lost
I showed you the directions
But it was too late to realize
I was not your destination.

I chased your footsteps
As you walked away
Killing all my dreams ;on the way
Breaking all my hopes; I had to say
Numbing all my songs; making the lyrics float
In those sleepless night
For you which I wrote.

And now I see you
Fall over her lap
Tenderly sleeping
As she has filled the gap.
But don't worry about me
I'm fine.

Cause I was yours
But you were never mine.
