you tell me about her and
how she broke your heart and
how you're so empty now that she's gone.

all i do is say how sorry i am
that life messes up the best of us
and tell you to keep hanging on.

but what else can i say
when all i want to do is run to you
and tell you how much i love you?

what else can i say
when inside i bleed for you
and what we can never have?

what else can i say
when you tell me you can't picture
life with anyone else?

what else can i say
but tell you i'm so sorry
and mean it with all my heart.

what else can i say?

she's tearing you apart and
you're tearing me apart and
i know i'm tearing him apart too.

sometimes i sit and wonder why
love is so
cruelly blind.

for O.

Fire and ice met at last
With so much longing,
They gave their all
The coldness burns
And the flicker dies
Such phenomenon
Can't be permitted
As much as they want to
To touch is to stab
To love is to ****
A second of togetherness
Is the death of their will

it's becoming increasingly difficult to rest without your soft breaths to lull me to sleep.
(deleted)

every single poem i've written in the last two months has been about you.
(deleted)

i hear your laugh in mine, sometimes.
(deleted)

your voice is the only thing that occupies my mind now. you've taken me over completely.
(deleted)

i'm not sure if you broke my heart or if i broke my own heart by letting you in.
(deleted)

i am in tears while writing this. it seems that whenever i think about you my eyes betray me.

i am still trying to figure out where we went wrong.
(deleted)

i had expected to feel bitter after you left. all i feel is nostalgic.
(deleted)

despite everything, i honestly hope you are happy.

i think i'll always get butterflies when i think about our first kiss. i'll always get butterflies
when i think about you, and what we used to have.

Missing Sun

I find solace in sunlight,
no matter how it is, Sweetie.
Get it? Solace? Sol? Sunlight?
You didn't just find the part of me
that's been lost for so long,
You.
Found.
Me.

When the others stars fell
silent
You burned ever brighter;
the glowing compass
awaiting this
day-dreamer,
night-thinker's
acceptance
of all of that Your Sun could bring.

I love it,
I love You
-there is no past tense to this-
and You didn't steal
or maim, or desecrate
this Moon,
for whatever it gave,
it gave willingly.

Where are you though,
Dear Missing Sun
May I take you home?

Dusk

Shadows sliding down,
Enshrouding the mountainside,
Heralding day's end
