I'm both those men in your poem
The one that puts you in his arms
And the one who loved/lost you

Cuz I am sure that
You can not and will not
Find a man
Any man
With as loyal a set of arms as mine
With as safe a set of arms as mine

And I may frustrate you
I truly must have
I'm crazy
But the way I loved
Oh the way I loved

Who has ever shown you love
Like that
The way I have

No man's arms will ever suffice
After these ones right here

You can pick the million bads
In me
and hate me for it
Bitterness we call it

But don't you dare forget
The billion goods that turned
Into love and love me for it
Memories we call it

Oh what's that
You're running away??
From who
The person who was your home
From love itself as you knew of it

How far will you get running
Until you forget the way back
And then you'll panic
Cuz there will be no way left
Get back to me
Come back to me
Baby you'll lose yourself doing this
And maybe you'll lose me too

We didn't speak in words
nor in signs
we spoke in silence
with our eyes

that was a little more than love

But now you're sitting on the floor
besides a boy with
green eyes
(and surely they aren't mine,
I've never had green eyes)

talking to him about love
or lack of it

talking about how you miss
not me
but everything i gave you
you miss everything
i had to offer
and how
green
as good of a color may be
just can't replace brown

you spoke to him
while the song in the background
reminded you
a bit of us

the us that broke
when you got your tickets booked
and you cried all day all night
and that was the song
I'd sing to you
in my broken voice

and when you were interrupted
and asked
oh so you love the one with green eyes
you didn't say no
you didn't say yes
and he smirked

you are doing your best to dig
dig out something close to love from
places unfamiliar
places it will never come from

on that last call before you flew so far away
i asked you too
do you love....oh do you miss me.
you didn't say no
you didn't say yes

it really is horrible though
for you to be so confused
so soon
about my love
and your own
and something

**that was a little more than love
//Name a thing I wouldn’t do for you//

// aasmaan ko zameen yeh zaroori nahin jaa mile......ishq sacha wohi jisko milti nahin manzilien//

It means you tried to look pretty for another man. You put on your eyeliner and mascara to attract him, look good for him. You put on a skin tight dress for him. You looked at him in the eyes and let him touch your hands or your back. You sat in the front seat with him and you let him give you flowers. You tried to want him, to love the color of his eyes or to like the shape of his body. You looked at him with lustful eyes without love. For a moment, you even tried to picture him as your husband or to have his child or what his child would look like if it were yours too. You might even have thought of his lips on yours or his body on top. You spoke to him with all the wrong intentions, not for work, not because he lives at your dorm or because you know him a bit, not even because he's just a random friend, but because of all the wrong intentions.

And all this was within 10 days of your drama and now you still have the audacity to tell me all about your loyalty and about how you've been nothing but loyal but if that, you think is loyalty then you don't know half the meaning of that word because loyalty doesn't need to taste other men/women and it sure wouldn't have put him in my shoes. Loyalty wouldn't try to lust over other men like a **** or dress up in **** tight jeans for them. Loyalty wouldn't need a free trial.

And lets flip roles here and say I tried to do what you did and lets say I took a pretty girl with straight hair out for a drive in my car and lets say I used my best perfume to smell nice for her and to want her to want to kiss me and lets say she's been trained to cook the best food and look the best for a husband and she's smart too and lets say that for a moment I try to want myself to want to be her husband and lets say she's more into me than I'll ever be into her and all she wants is to be sitting on my lap but she won't say it and I know her intentions but I take her out anyway and I wear my best button down and I say no to her proposal of getting me into her bed late at night but that doesn't mean I didn't try to want to say yes.

Would you call me "loyal" then if it took me lesser than 2 weeks to **** up a 3 year relationship which was made of so much more than 2 bodies, which was made of two hearts and souls. 10 days isn't enough for "loyalty" to want to move on or to try to. Loyalty is a pledge witnessed by god. Loyalty holds itself up in distance or in despair or in sickness or in misunderstandings and it surely holds itself up much longer than 10 ******* days.

So tell me whatever, tell me you aren't sorry or that you don't want him and you want me or don't want me or tell me about why we will never happen or why we will, tell me of his seven figure salary (and I won't give a ****), tell me his pros and all my cons, tell me how I was never enough or how I was too much, tell me whatever but don't you dare act loyal to make yourself feel better about your selfish **** self by calling it self-love and don't you dare tell me about stories of your loyalty with me because it only takes one to **** it all up and don't you dare disgrace my loyalty to you by ever calling yourself loyal after going out on a date with him.
no more of my last words

I left you whilst still in love
because you didn't want to walk
you wanted to run
to your dreams
and you felt you couldn't run
and love at the same time
you only wanted to love yourself
because you couldn't afford to love me
and so I let you fly

you left me whilst still in love
asking for our old photographs & memories
and telling me you love me (liar)
and that your heart longs for me
but your mind doesn't want me
because you can't want me from afar
you didn't want to hurt me
but you said you had no choice
and so you let me die
A 3-part series

What was
What is
What will

when you love them so much
that you see the future in their eyes
and in the future you see a forever
with them

when you love them so much
that you want to drink
from their cup
so you can taste their lips

when you love them so much
that you want them
to eat before you do
because filling them fills you

when you love them so much
that every moment spent
without them
is like missing a limb

when you love them so much
that you fear
that one day you'll lose them
to fate or to life

when you love them so much
that their happiness
is the only thing
that makes you happy

when you love someone so much

how can you leave them
somewhere
in the middle of
life & death

We would be in the city of poets
and I'd write my touch on your skin
we may or may not have been on dinner dates
but surely we'd have all 3 meals together
you'd love the poetry I write
and I'd love the miracles of my talent
we'd read the same books
and study together
despite you studying anthro
and me science
but I am sure we'd find some common classes too
or the small gap between them
I'd sneak you into my dorm with my hoodie
or we'd drive off into our forever
one that we dreamed off
one that was a choice
one that you never chose

or maybe not
maybe

We'd be in the city of lights
the city that never sleeps
and I'd pick you up every other morning
and we'd have breakfast at espresso
or we'd sit in my car and have what your mom makes
we may or may not be going to the same college
but that wouldn't stop us from reading the same books
or going to food & book festivals
maybe even debating together in the same tournaments
your mom would have a face to my name
and mine would know who "all this" is about
we would fight but trust me
a kiss would more than suffice
and I'd sneak you out at 2 am
and we'd drive off to a now then
a now with peace & love
a now with your favorite music
a now that you never chose to be

but maybe
just maybe
either way

we'd both be left with a place
we could call home
safe flight.....
Ammar Dec 2017
sometimes
i just want to
call you
and ask you
all the* whys
knowing that
you may not have
answers to any of them
or maybe you will
and you will choose
to once again

**lie
Ammar Sep 2017
This car I own
What's it worth
If I can't drive you around town

This house i live in
What's it worth
If I can't love you in it

The college I go to
What's it worth
If I can't tell you about it

Loneliness and aloneliness
Is all we have now
You and me
Both of us
And so I think
Losing you
Was just not worth it

So tell me now my love
Was it worth it for you
To lose the long night talks
and short morning walks
The bed blanket and me
The taste of my lips
Or the French toast I made

Was it all worth it in the end ?

I hope it was
For how can one bare
All this loss
Was it ?
wow
Ammar Feb 2018
wow
I am still dreaming of you
while you are dreaming
of someone else
you didn't even tell me when I asked
Ammar Mar 2018
You said there is nothing
not distance
not time
not sacrifice
not even love
between me & you
as you turned your back on me
and walked far far away
further than I could see you
(I still see you when I close my eyes)
further than I could hear you
(I still hear you call my name)
I ask
what is this then
this strong pull
that brings you back to me
and me back to you
is this not the universe conspiring
is this not the sun kissing the moon
is this not the stars whispering
if me & you were never meant to be
if me & you are never meant to be
if "I" is not meant to be with "U"
then what is putting us back together
like pieces of a broken heart
then why are all my dreams about you
and trust me I have nightmares too
but they too are all about you
tell me why
do you do this
only to do that
and why
is there nothing
yet everything between me & you
why is it so ******* easy to love you
when I have all the reasons to hate you

if god never meant for us
to be together
then why
did he put "this"
between us
and more importantly
what the **** is "this" .
Ammar Feb 2018
If you were me
you'd hate you too
for the broken promises
false words
fake tries
true lies

you'd hate yourself too
because you're the most selfish
that a person can ever be
you pick people out
just to use them and keep them
keep them till they tell you who you are
and then you throw them

you'd hate yourself too
because no sane man or woman
loses their mind like you do
***** you are crazy
its either the chemicals in your brain
or past pain but whatever it is
it has nothing to do with me

you'd hate yourself too
because you take a 180 flip
you’d say you love me
and then you won’t
you’d want to marry me
and the next moment
you’d want to fck a white boy

you’d hate yourself too
because you’d see the pure evil
behind the fake innocence
the devil behind that fake smile
the selfish ***** acting all selfless and kind
the liar making promises
promises she never intends to keep

you’d hate yourself too
because you’d see the girl I loved
and how that girl kicked me and killed me
again and again and again and again
in so many different ways
for reasons unjust
for self satisfication

you’d hate yourself
down to your very core
even if I never could
the least I could say is you are disgusting
Ammar Nov 2017
I forget
You used to say

You said you forget
you forget that
it wasn't the 9th of June
but the 9th of July

You forget about the way
you promised to never
lose me at any cost
but that too was a promise you forgot

You forget how I kept
every single promise
between me and you
safe, protected and fulfilled

You forget the songs
I sang to you
and how every beat
was my heart for you

You forget about the nights
when I fought your demons
for you so you could be
at peace

You forget about how
you forgot about
our anniversary twice and
I was still loving on those days too

You forget about the days
I made beautiful
with care because
I will always be your sunshine

Have you ever asked yourself
why did he never hurt me?
because I never did
not during
never after
it was always you hurting yourself

Have you ever thought
why did he make so much effort?
because the answer to all of it
is as simple
and as complicated
as yourself

You see it wasn't
as easy as love
a lot of it was me

but unfortunately
*you forget
some **** I call poetry
Ammar Jun 2018
you don't want to love me
you just want to use me
for pleasure
for fun
not to stay longer than
a few months
just another summer fling
with someone familiar
someone who won't poison your mind
someone to ease your soul
you don't want me
to wife you
just someone for another
sunday morning brunch
and friday night ****

darling (I mean *****)
I am not someone
to fill your empty heart
and empty mine
just for the "fun" of it
I don't want to lose
more than the everything
that I've already lost
to you & your lies
to your needs & wants
to your wishes & dreams
I gave myself to you
and you took that away
I can't let you take the nothing
that's left behind

you're afraid
to knock at my door
and I'm afraid
to open it
Main aaya
aik nahin....kai baar aaya
bas tune nahin pehchaana
Ammar Dec 2017
you're asking me questions
i do not have the answers to

i do not know
what
and i do not know
how where when or why

all i know is that
i do not deserve
to be lied to or to be cheated
the way you have done both to me

my mind does not deserve
to be ******
the way you have ****** it
and taken away its peace

you don't give me the peace
or the love or loyalty
or the
*truth

that someone like me deserves

and that doesn't mean that
you can't heal the wounds
just that you choose not to
because you'd just cut it open again

you're asking me questions
i do not have the answers to


i do not know
how
to fix a broken being
which you willfully shattered

all i know is that
you *did this and that
"this" is no blame but a
responsibility you must take

this isn't on me
and this includes
the pain caused and
the love lost

and i do not know
that if what you have lost
you can ever redeem again
or even know the worth of

perhaps it was all worthless
to you to begin with
perhaps i and the 'i love you'
was only worth your broken lie


**but maybe that is a question
i will never have an answer to
Don't ask me questions that you have answered for yourself

— The End —
