Pablo Neruda
I can write the saddest poem of all tonight.

Write, for instance: "The night is full of stars,
and the stars, blue, shiver in the distance."

The night wind whirls in the sky and sings.

I can write the saddest poem of all tonight.
I loved her, and sometimes she loved me too.

On nights like this, I held her in my arms.
I kissed her so many times under the infinite sky.

She loved me, sometimes I loved her.
How could I not have loved her large, still eyes?

I can write the saddest poem of all tonight.
To think I don't have her. To feel that I've lost her.

To hear the immense night, more immense without her.
And the poem falls to the soul as dew to grass.

What does it matter that my love couldn't keep her.
The night is full of stars and she is not with me.

That's all. Far away, someone sings. Far away.
My soul is lost without her.

As if to bring her near, my eyes search for her.
My heart searches for her and she is not with me.

The same night that whitens the same trees.
We, we who were, we are the same no longer.

I no longer love her, true, but how much I loved her.
My voice searched the wind to touch her ear.

Someone else's. She will be someone else's. As she once
belonged to my kisses.
Her voice, her light body. Her infinite eyes.

I no longer love her, true, but perhaps I love her.
Love is so short and oblivion so long.

Because on nights like this I held her in my arms,
my soul is lost without her.

Although this may be the last pain she causes me,
and this may be the last poem I write for her.

My heart is cut into two
One for me, one for you

I bleed of love
If you return the same love

I bleed of blood
If you break the other half

I do not know if it's magic or what
But still I live with a broken heart
Lunch-break poem.

I want to believe that I will find someone to share the world
I want to have hope that I am worthy of love
Yet it seems,
As days go on,
I fall back into old beliefs.

Ghosts of lovers,
Point out my flaws
Clouding my judgment, altering the person you see.
I want to belive that you can be the difference
I want to have hope that you can love and care for me
Yet,
As the days go on,
The ideal seems absurd.

Knowledge of the challenges
Does not help us through.
I want to believe that I love you,
I want to believe that you can love me too.
Yet,
As time goes on,
It's clear to see,
You don't.

Lonely Poet
i cant let him go
i love him now
but does he?
all those stares we've shared
skins that touched
the moments you came to me
and tell me everything
what  does that mean?
assuming there is something more
it just breaks my heart
for i know it will never be true
all these confusions never ceased to complicate me
now i'm messed up
without any consent from my own mind
please please
just tell the words that will set me free
tell me you don't love me like i love you
or tell me other way around
just tell the truth
because i cant bear this pain
this anxiety you bring
all these confusions just kept tearing me apart
o.o
im messed up.

She dances on the sand
trying to become one
with the earth again....*
♡♡♡♡
She has pain in heart
Sadness in her eyes
And a broken spirit
But she still smiles through the pain

You are my every emotion
I have never felt you,
Yet you’re the most physical experience,
I’ve ever had.

The tears I shed, I shed for you…
My heart beats, beats for you,
My mind can’t get you out,
My body stays awake; it can’t sleep…

What can I do?
You’ve got this hold on me…
I’ll never leave,
And you’ll never leave my mind…

Stay with me dear,
For you’re not just a figment of my imagination,
I don’t feel as much as I do as when I think of you,
And when you say my name… you bring me to life.

Your voice is unlike any lifeline,
Your attention’s a drug, and I’m addicted…
I fell so hard,
Just so you’d carry me back to reality…

Please don’t say goodbye,
For you’re unlike any other, I’ve ever known.
Please don’t say goodbye, if not here,
Then stay in my mind… Never leave, never let me let go.

For I fear if I ever let go, I will never feel again,
I fear you take my heart, my mind, and my soul…
I fear to drown in a sea of loneliness, and sorrow…
Never let me let go… For I fear I will never love anyone, like I love you.

Fairy tales aren’t just for children
I learned that the hard way
I opened the book again
Magic was no longer an illusion

Flowing ribbons and blue velvet
You returned to the time before we met
But you are always so real to me
I have to decide if I can take it this time

We are not here to start a war
There’s something only you can do
And I need to believe in that
I can make anything of you in my mind

There’s nothing for me to tell you
It’s become a way of seeing
Walk as if nobody is watching
But don’t trip over my dream

The misty river side leads me on
I can imagine without you there
That’s the scary part about lust
It talks to angels living inside of me

Who can get used to waking up
We think we do but it's not true
The more I fight it the more I feel it
Longing is stronger than being alone

my body is over flooding with heat,
from the temples to my fingertips,
as i lay, alone, on a damp sheet that's only cold.

my hands graze over the lips that once kissed your cheek,
to wipe away the water and forbid the taste,
when it sinks into the cracks it meets.

my skin, it's begging, a touch, a sign from you.

a simple clue can fix everything. right?
you think we aren't fixable?
is that why my fingers ache?
my neck wanting to break?
the prints that so desperately shake?
this heart is mourning for the part of you it once danced to.
