I love the way your eyes sparkle
whenever you catch a glimpse of her.
You in your utter speechlessness.
Watching you watching her.
I live a lonely life.

I'm tired of a lot of things
like saying hello and then waiting for a few moments
then it's already time to say goodbye.
I never really leave a mark on anything
but everyone else, not ever noticing,
leaves a mark on me,
mostly a tattoo of what was once
our happy nights and days.
It's like a pain-flavored treat
sprinkled with a few memories
in different shades
that I am too selfish to ever share with
any of you.

It seemed like a good time to write poetry.
When I'm surrounded by a crowd but I'm all alone.
When I face the blinding light but I can't see anything.
When tears are waterfalls of sadness.
When these heartbreaks become series of habits
until they turn us to something we never should be.
We wait for a lot of things to happen
but all we ever see is our hopes,
crashing down the empty pavements.
Everything is black, white, blue.
Maybe because I'm the wrong shade in the spectrum that never belonged.
The labels have spoken for us
wandering and lost
Clueless, hurt, call it what you want.
It's hard to make the sadness flee,
when it's the flesh caged by your ribs.

I know if I fall one more time,
It's gonna be the fall that would break me.
We should get tired
because they don't deserve what they think they do.
It's hard when no one understands you
and no one has the patience for you.
You're all alone
to sob for yourself
and hate yourself one more tomorrow.
I'm writing this down
because I know that the paper would listen to,
though not understanding, all my reasons.
The ones you wouldn't listen to.
The ones you called hell of an excuse.
You think you're the only one.
Haven't you noticed,
I'm too tired to understand myself, too.
