Your empty cup filled me
Your absence, my intimacy
You were a blanket on my cold skin
You made me feel richer than them all
I thought we where on the right track
I thought I didn't have to look back
But all the while, everything about you
Was pouring out to someone else
I wish we can turn back time
To the good ol' days
Because even though we've lost our grip,
I can still feel the warmth of your hand
Another year has passed, a milestone I consider.
Places traveled, new circles formed; stroked with love.

What years preceding it should've been.
It has been fulfilling as it is melancholic.
Another new year draws near, anxiously I look forward to.

I hope the bittersweet insights I gained will make me ready to embrace my eventual self.

A chapter of my life has close, a new canvass has been laid. Keep living broken, keep breathing love.
Don't punish me for what I feel.
Our routine may have ended with an unpleasant stroke.
But I promise, I'll climb over the fence
when the wires have been taken down.
I'll leap off my bed, when we've overcome our drowsy spell.
Maybe, when the rain steers our lips together once more, I can make it to you.
But for now, don't punish me for placing ellipses in the spaces between us.
I hate to see the butterfly limping from despair. It saddens me to see it flying from one wilting flower to another. I'm sorry, if the redwood was barren of the ambrosia she desires.
I am a helping arm at the ready, a friend that you can open up to; a shoulder you can lean on.

But please, my heart held in deep affection asks that you only be fair.

Settled mind tripping, no longer can I differentiate between compositions for the distinguished, and for the many. No longer I attempt, for pain lingers, waiting to pounce on me.

Please, as the lady my heart first throbbed for, don't leave my recuperating soul more perplexed as it already is.

My Lois Lane. My Maria.
It is only my heart's desire that you be loved... even if it has to come from someone else.
Your pieces send mix signals... I only ask that you be considerate about my feelings for you.
It's not a mystery.

You will always remember the nights where we lulled each other's troubled minds into repose. Swimmingly and openly, we frisk into each others souls. Vividly, I remember everything just as much as you do.

You think I've forgotten? Look around you: my thought of you flows through every blade of grass upon the earth, in every bead of water in The Ring of Fire. We branded ourselves in each others minds,
how do we hope to forget?

You think I've forgotten about the universe we escaped to, away from all this chaos, and swirled ourselves into each others solace? You think I've forgotten those moments where we made serendipitous discoveries about each other?

You think I've forgotten about our consciousness colliding, giving birth to planets only known to us? I remember the time when we fashioned an empyreal of our own, and amorously arranged the skies below us.
I will never consign that to oblivion.

You made my nightmares with you, lovely; good dreams without you, dreary. Every time sweat pools beneath me, I see your reflection.
I sweat layers more, praying that it gets buried before I get lost in confliction.

I was always behind the crepuscular rays that bathed you, waiting for your irises to adjust. You think I wanted to stop pouring myself out to you? Every time the rain whispers your name, I really wanted to bust the dam to get to you.

But I had to stop the flow before we cross too many lines; set off too many mines. I had to turn away, before we get desperately addicted to each other. I need to, else we'd be the destruction of everyone around us.

I stopped, because I started loving you.
Burn all the bridges
Set the foundations ablaze
Reduce the platform to cinders
Stare at the turquoise eyes of the fore
Walk from where you can stand
Breathe light through your nostrils
Listen to darkness make love
Love like the shore pulling the sea
God, we're so helplessly human
