Maxwell Oct 2015
From sleepless nights to blissful dreams,
A drastic change from chaos to peace.
From your departure, I was hurt,
But now from sadness, I divert.

Like a dart hits a bullseye's iris,
Your presence, that's how I miss.
With this paper and pen,
I admit, I think of you now and then.

But you are my life's fraudulent scheme,
Water rapidly flowing in the stream.
You've already passed and gone away
Like my love for you has died away.

A half-remembered dream,
It is you, as it may seem.
A dream as sublime as a flower garden,
But a dream that will soon be forgotten.
This is my last poem for you.
Maxwell Oct 2015
friendship wounded her
love destroyed her
but it was trust
who gave her the final blow
Maxwell Apr 2016
I am your friend, your family
Always there when you need me
To attend to my matters, I leave
I return to see your new family

They are your friends, your family
I respect them because you do highly
I tried to see, I tried to love
To no avail, I failed without luck

It was too much, all to much
To see myself replaced, every time
To feel love only when they're gone
Is that all I am to you, your last one?

You need not say my role in your life
It was obvious, don't even lie
Plan Z, the least, your last
Among those names, call me what you like
Maxwell Oct 2015
i like how the taste of blood
lingers in my mouth
just like the thought of you
lingers in my heart
Maxwell Oct 2015
stargazing and telescopes, i don't need those
i need only to look at you
for in your eyes
the whole universe resides
Maxwell Oct 2015
Green-eyed demon telling me to burst
for it's not me and will never be
it's not me you will ever love
Maxwell Oct 2015
your memories cut through
my heartstrings tied in knots
how cruel of you
to visit my thoughts
Maxwell Nov 2016
I don't recall falling to the ground
and getting back up, but here I am
falling for you all over again
Maxwell Feb 2016
I see nothing
but you
&
You see
everything
but me
Maxwell Feb 2016
I have no time for you
for I am busy pulling
pieces of me together
with glue and tape

I have no time for you
for I am still looking
for the sun under the
rainy clouds

I have no time for you
I have no time for anything
Not even for myself
I have no time at all
You used to make me see the sun where I once saw clouds. Now you make me stare at the ***** wall while you make others see the sun, my sun.
Maxwell Nov 2015
The world is cruel and sinful
Full of sinners condemning sinners
For sinning differently.
Maxwell Nov 2015
I am the one who loved
You are the one who is loved
We are unfortunate lovers
With parallel destinies
Maxwell Nov 2015
i was told that love hurts
maybe that's why
it hurts when i'm with you
Maxwell Oct 2016
you with your voice like silk
i bleed as the silk cloth you flicked
you bind me with words of magic
bound and bewitched, with a single touch
i burn like an endless candle wick
Maxwell Oct 2016
My way home alone is distressing
With blaring cars speeding on the road
Leaving a trail of thick gray smoke
that leaves me suffocating

Way home with you comes bearable, quite so
With your voice that overpowers the horns
Music to my ears and as peaceful with cicadas
Then we part ways, leaving me breathless
thank you for the 15 minute walks
Maxwell Oct 2015
i can still remember the taste
of the cruel words you said
when you kissed me goodbye
Maxwell Oct 2016
I write for love, for life
with the words I see fit
but if it's you I think about
I can't find the right words
for I am speechless, beguiled
by your beauty and essence

Perhaps there is none
no words, no rhymes
Or maybe there's too many
too many words, too many rhymes
so I sit here, beguiled yet again
silently, secretly admiring a masterpiece
Maxwell Feb 2016
Everything is not the same,
No, not without you.
It's not the same.
I'm not the same.
word ***** at 4 30am
Maxwell Feb 2016
echoed in the dark room
the loud ticking of the clock
that used to resemble the rhythm
of our lonely beating hearts

tick tock goes the clock
as it seizes me in its hands
imprisoned by time
as you moved on and away
Maxwell Nov 2015
Now that we're worlds apart,
I wonder if you think of me as much as I do
I wonder if you write about me as much as I do
I wonder if you dream about me as much as I do



I wonder if you ever think of me at all.
Maxwell Nov 2015
I am a distant star
a star that you can only see
in your darkest times
a star that you can't see
when your sun shines

I am the moon
outshone and overshadowed
by your bright sunny star
but you seek me at night
to guide you through the dark

I am the one you seek
only when you're troubled
I am non-existent
when you're in bliss
Is that all I am to you?
Maxwell Nov 2015
She tried her best not to leave
In the end, she cannot leave
But she is constantly left.
"I can't leave you, but you constantly leave me."
Maxwell Dec 2015
Don't ever ask why I'm leaving
because I can't tell you
how it hurts
whenever I see your face

I can't tell you
how it puts me in a bad mood
seeing your name pop up
on everything I look at

I can't tell you
how I'm dying to scream
to not leave me
because you always do the opposite

I can never explain
how everything hurts
when I'm with you
Because you will never understand.
My life is better without you in it and it's probably the best for you and I
Maxwell Jul 2015
I tried and did my best
To find the right words to say
Just to avoid hurting you in anyway
And succeeded avoiding that, I did.

I was so caught up in the idea
Of not hurting you
To the very point that
I ended up hurting myself.
I hope you're happy.
Maxwell Nov 2016
We're either laughing or fighting
like our love is sailing
on tempestuous waters
Maxwell Jul 2015
I'm sorry for last night,
sorry for the words, I know it's not right
to blame you for not being loyal
when it was I who made the betrayal
I have no right to get mad.
Maxwell Jun 2016
she asked, she begged
she cried and was told to wait
so she waited, and waited
she got nothing in the end

then like rain it fell on her
the things she asked when she was little
she was blessed, she believed
but curious no doubt

why me? why now? she asked
because you asked
and it was given
in the right time


she cried again
not in sadness but in joy
then sat down and waited
as she wished for love
Maxwell Jun 2016
i would fall through seven hells
just to fall into your arms
0237am
Maxwell Jul 2015
Your presence used to drive me crazy
but it seems that your absence drives me more
Why does it have to be like that?
Maxwell Jun 2016
As I think of you and I,
of what and what could've happened,
I knew that I was wasting time, losing sleep
for all the wrong reasons.
Maxwell Jul 2015
I slept fifteen hours today
And that means I dreamt of you for fifteen hours,
You haunted my dreams for fifteen hours,
You haunted me for fifteen hours.

Now I just woke up to a gloomy evening
Dark skies and the bells ringing
It has started again,
The thought of you is haunting me again.
You haunt me twenty four hours a day, seven days a week.
When will you stop, my friend?
Maxwell Feb 2016
I'm so desperate to the point that
I stare at you all day
in hopes that
what I see is what I get
Maxwell Nov 2015
In my current state,
I don't have the money
I don't have the power
to make you happy

I only have hardwork
and my little accomplishments
at school and in life
to make you smile

But why can't you?
You always ask for more.
You always ask for more of me
when I'm already giving my all.

I'm already beating myself to death
Squeezing myself like sponge to give my best
but you were never contented
with the things I give.

Tell me, why do you do this?
Why can't you be happy for me?
Answer me,
Why can't you be happy for me, mom?
Maxwell Aug 2015
I placed you in my mind,
and from my dreams I got blind.
Then I placed you in my heart,
living my life, again I start.
I'm doing well now. How about you, love?
Maxwell Oct 2015
Am I the only one who cares
about keeping in touch?
Am I the only one who dares
to wait without rush?

Why am I the only one who's hurt?
Is it because of the effort I exert?
Is it because I care deeply
when they were having fun freely?

I wait, I wait, and I wait.
I sacrifice time because it's worth it.
But you can't even stay for me
Am I not worth it?

With you, I want to be.
With them, you want to be.
So I ask again,
Am I not worth it?

Happiness with you, I desired
but now, I am sick, I am tired
I must find happiness on my own
I can only be happy alone.
You
Maxwell Jul 2015
You
Sometimes
I close my eyes
and open them again
to see no difference

Then I wonder
which part of my day
is more painful to bear
the sleeping or the waking?

When I sleep, I dream
I dream of nightmares
of my past
and of you

When I wake up, I think
there's nothing to do but think
of what I'm doing with my life
and of you.

Now that I think about it
I can no longer tell the difference
between sleeping and waking
for it has always been about you.
It's you; it has always been you.
You
Maxwell Aug 2016
You
Breathing is becoming difficult around you
Heart beating faster beside you
Mind is filling with thoughts of you
Now I am
        utterly,
             deeply,
                  madly,
                         falling
                             in love with you
Control is out of the question.
Maxwell Nov 2015
Awe-inducing presence
Beguiling beauty
Calm after the storm
Delicate and divine
Effervescent being
Flames dancing in the sky
God-fearing
Heart unstained by impurity
Interstellar
Joy in the midst of misery
Kind, too kind for her sake
Lovely smile
Magnetic woman
Never says never
Oblivious to love
Pure white
Quick-wit and sharp
Rain during the drought
Starry, starry eyes
Thunderstorms
Unwavering love
Virtuoso
Wholehearted
Xenon, gold, and neon
Yuletide happiness
Zigzag feelings

— The End —
