I like to believe
That even the loneliest and least understood people
Have a star in the sky
That listens as much as you need
Gets you
And loves you

This star
Is just yours

Since you're basically one
When you hug yourself
It's like the star is hugging you
Wrapping it's brightness so tight
The darkness barely even leaks out

When the world *****
When you die
When you change
And when you cry
The star cares for you

Even in daylight
It's hiding there

Even when the star sees all the you do from up above
It loves you
And tries to help you
You just have to listen to the silence
And you maybe
Just maybe
Won't feel so alone anymore

How does it feel now?
To hear your laughter echo back,
To see the spark when you tease me,
To touch the mole on your nose,
To breathe in your untouched scent,
When our arms find their home around each other.

How does it feel now?
To taste your sweet, sour, and salty creations,
To hear the name you gave me, my love,
To watch movies side by side,
To feel the world spin, tipsy from soju and you,
To share stories,
Letting pillow talk cradle the close of day.

Ah, i have no more words to say
Than this
I miss you.

I’ll give you the finest house you’ve ever seen.
A haven for your weariness.
A space where exhaustion finds comfort.
Everything you need, all ready and waiting,
Complete.
Just come as you are.
Come anytime you want.
Stop by whenever you please.
Though never to stay.

But homes without owners fade with time.
Dust gathers, claiming its place.
The walls grow damp,
Their papered skin peeling,
The roof as a shelter,
Begins to fail.
Day by day, succumbing to the earth.

One day, I’ll say,
“I’m sorry, you need a new house.”
Because i will tire,
And I will break.

Well, for now, I’ve made my choice.
I stay, I chase.
And despite it all,
I find joy in being your halfway home.

After all the words you’ve spoken,
after all the poems you’ve written,
I might already know how this story gonna ends.

For now,
let me borrow your time to see you again,
to feel your touch linger once more,
to ache for the echo of us,
to love you a little longer,
until the clock runs out.

When my heart whispers, enough,
when my mind demands me to leave,
when my body wearies from the weight of pain,
I’ll let you go.

And in stepping forward,
I’ll prove I’ve truly let you fade.

God, if You are there
answer me, I beg You.
Why me?
I am drowning in feelings,
a storm of dark emotions,
they churn in my chest,
make me sick.

I can't even close my eyes,
night is a cruel witness.
Food lies still, untouched,
its journey incomplete.
Smiles have become strangers
to my weary face.

When these feelings flood my soul,
There is no one to listen,
no arms to hold me,
no voice to say, “I’m here for you.”
no whisper to promise,
“Everything will be alright.”

Why me?
Why do You leave me alone?
Why must I bear this weight alone
while others find their solace,
their ‘one-hour person’?

I can't.
I'm so tired.
Why am I still here?
What do You want from me?
If you said that I have an unfinished task,
a purpose waiting in the shadows,
tell me now.
I’ll do it right now, I swear
if it means release.

As a fragile being,
forgive me this weakness.
I’m shattered
and so ******* done.

The words hovered on the edge of my tongue,
Yet my thumbs whispered a gentler truth.

My soul reached the same.
The warmth that hung heavy in the air,
A tender brush, soft as whispers on my skin,
A rhythm that our body carved,
A melody only we could hear.

But we both know
This rope between us
May never unwind.
So I buried the truth beneath my breath.
And found that dishonesty bore sweet fruit.
I am saved.
No
We are saved.
Aah, I could no longer keep it contained. The truth, I’ll let it slip now.

Every time I touch the void
Do you feel a tremble, a stir?
Every time I paint it with a whisper of color
Do you see a shift within?
If not, at least I've tried.
Perhaps I’m not the one you seek.
I seek answer and I will wait in silence.
