We are figures designed to burn at the mere presence of
each other

we are magnets of the polar sides made to come closer and
closer

and we are two people who have come and discovered the
answers

So please stick around
Don't let me down again

Immortalize

Let me immortalize you with my words. These words written on paper with ink. These thoughts expressed on a keyboard and screen. These jumbled up voices that only capture of what I truly feel from the heart that beats for you and a mind that thinks of you.

These words that are meant for you.

Let them make you feel more alive and loved. May they make know that you are not alone and I will always be here. Let them make you gather all the power, confidence, courage. May they make you feel like you will live forever.

Though ink easily fades, paper withers,computers get busted up easily, my heart will fail, and memories become forgotten; these words will go on forever. And let me explain why…

For they started as this girl speaks of them, her breath goes along with the air and mixes with the oxygen and hydrogen we all breathe in. It will go up the sky until it reaches out of the atmosphere. These words will go even further and find its home in the stars which will twinkle for an eternity.

With these words, this is how I will immortalize you even if we will become fossils of our present that will soon have pass.

LIAN LAO

How is it possible?

How is it possible
To miss someone
Even tho he's just in the other room?

How is it possible
To crave for someone's presence
Even tho he's sitting next to you?

How is it possible
To love someone so deep
Even tho it is unrequited?

How is it possible
To be broken by someone
Even tho he was never yours?

How is it possible
To wish for something
Even tho we all know it is impossible to happen?

How is it possible?
How is it?
How is?
How?

Petrichor

I love the smell that exists after the rain
There is something comforting about it
as I breathe it in through my lungs

I would say you were very much like it
You give me that same feeling it gives
especially when I have you inside of me

The best/worst similarity between you and petrichor is this:

You only come around in my life occasionally.

As I spend most days either drenched in endless rain
Or baked by the intense heat of the sun
And wait for something to make me feel sane
like I wait for you to come around in my life again

Untitled Poem(6/15/15)

I could never make anyone fall in love with me

Do I even have to try?

It’s a fact proven by science

and the absence of romance

in my waking life

I couldn’t compare to other women in your life

They win by a landslide

I’m not even an option or a choice

But to me you were the only boy

in my ******* mind

I could do better than write this poem down

It’s a sunny day out

And I don’t have to feel sad anymore

because you don’t even care at all

I have myself to rely on

I notice a few poems I’ve made through the years have the line “I could never make anyone fall in love with me” and I doubt this will be the last.

Tonight, I Force A Smile

Tonight, I force a smile

and pretend nothing happened

I imagine that things are alright

even if they aren’t...

I spent the last few days

in sadness and in tears

Tonight, I force a smile

hoping happiness is real

And I know it will be; just wait and see. :)
