Louve
L’impression de cueillir une fleur avant qu’elle n’ait éclos,
Un cadavre en guise d’ombre.
Une douleur sombre,
Indéfinissable,
Presque indiscernable.

L’impression d’avoir tué l’éveil d’un souffle,
Pendant que mon cœur se camoufle.
La folie d’y avoir cru anéantie dans un soupir,
Et puis ce doute, le risque de fléchir.

Pardonne moi de ne te donner que des signaux codés,
Chez les autres si simple ça paraissait.
J’y ai cru,
Je l’ai même voulu,
Et je me suis perdue.

L’impression d’avoir arraché une toile à un maître,
L’œuvre est inachevée,
L’arc en ciel côtoyant le vide.
Et tes larmes invisibles, inaudibles,
En bande son.
It always feels wrong to love but leave

I could never tell you
exactly what's going on inside my head,
so I'll write instead.
Drown my thoughts in paper & lead.
Keep my hands alive,
and my expression dead.

I see the world
suspended in your eyes
like nothing matters
nothing has ever mattered
but her.

her nails are painted
her dress is short
her heels are high
her laugh is obnoxious
and she's just like the last one.

she's nothing new
and nothing special, yet
you think she's different
you think she's beautiful
you want to love her.

while I sit and watch
as you love another girl
again
and
again.

and while she's at work
you hold me close
and tell me you're sorry
and that I have to go
before she comes home.

why do you tell me
that you wish things were
different?
if you really did,
you wouldn't be looking at her.

it happens every time.

"In the cold rain, I shiver at the thought that maybe I can have anything I want in this world except her. Never her. Even when it's so close... even when I touched it.
Even when I can almost taste it."
Good morning! This is from the POV of one of my favorite story. I post this *** it hits me real hard.
PS. It's a man's POV. hehe

We're almost touching.
we were walking side by side,
you're talking about cabs in your hometown.
I can feel the gravity of your hand, calling my fingers
whispering "it's alright."

We're touching but not quite.
you held my shoulder to protect me from the passing cars.
and for the first time in a long while, I felt so fragile.
In this world where I find it hard even to breathe,
you believed me.

I almost said it.
All I need is one ounce of strength to tell you every single thing that I have ever felt about you.

I want to find home in your collarbones.
Would you be kind enough to let a stranger in?
I want to seep in your being because I'm cold.
The world is harsh and my cracks are aching.

Almost.
Please don't ever become a stranger,
whose laugh I can recognize anywhere.

I do not seek out a brighter day
A wish of happiness, no more
Vaulted hope; Cracked safe opened and released
Laughter and cheer walked out the door


Position every window blind shut
Draw the shades so none shall see
Must keep sunshine’s heavenly rays locked out
And preserve this perfect misery

I find it interesting that
We place ourselves
In the sight of others.
How do you read that?

Waking up to the chirps of love birds
Breathing in the sweetness in the morning air
The bulb in my head lights up
"yah, it's the day for love"
So I exhaled my breaths of bitterness
ARRghh, the stench..
My breath was stinkin' of jealousy

My back was tellin me not to get up
But too bad, I already fell to the trap
Set by my stomach that has been growling
For food it was asking

I spent the whole day normally
In my bed, horizontally
Skimming through the channels on the TV
till night came and someone called me

I received flowers and hearts
and I realized
I shouldn't have been jealous of others
for all this time
I realized now
That stuff like this actually bothers me
and it burdens me
Specially coming from someone who likes me
But someone I would not like to see

Oh yes, I got that,
frequent pondering restort that.
I won't force you to be mine,
But, yes you are my Valentine.

You're struck still, ain't you?
But still you steal, didn't you?
Not my heart at all,
but my mind body and soul.

Got that,  you're not mine,
being selfless, I'm solitary fine.
Knitting the webs of despicable anticipation,
wanna put all these into an outline.
Oh yes, you are my Valentine.

What a sluttish of the time,
making me resummarise every penny.
I'm all yours but you are not mine.
Don't care, still you are my Valentine.
