The beat booms
Echoing through
My heart and ears
Just like the cheers
And off-harmony
Singers who are
Brought to tears
By the music you
Share with them,
Anonymous short-
term friends.
They said, think about it
One last time
I said, I've had enough
I have moved on

Your eyes can't lie
To say that you have moved on
is a bit exaggerated

They said

I realized
I've been livin
in a big chunk of denial
all this time


I need closure
we need to talk
This time, you must participate
Cause it turns out that
Making peace with myself
Just wasn't enough

So
Here we go again

one.last.time
I promise **
Sometimes you just gotta talk it out and admit that you got hurt
-
what's it like to wake up and realize,
that even after a year of searching and scavenging,
you're still in love with the thing you ran away from
a year ago?



(unrequited).
it's gotten easier, but the dreams won't stop
Run and run until we both fall,
as if we were chasing the stars
and trying to be one with the universe.
For a moment, I heard our laughs
and the beat of our hearts creating harmony
with our short breaths.
It was mellifluous.
Until now it was vivid in my sight,
how we both let our feet race with the air
and let the time say who won that fight.
Please, remember the day when you and I
both decided to run in an empty hall.
That day when we finally looked
into each other’s eyes
and dredge deeply to find a treasure.
Not a gold nor diamond, but something more
meaningful
Please remember the day when you and I
both decided to run in an empty hall,
because that day when I looked into
your eyes,
I knew at that moment that you are
the treasure I was trying to find.
With my eyes open,
I walk forward
to find my way,
hoping someone will
extend his hand
to my heart.
but
Trust is all
that scares me.
Hello, this is my first entry in here :)
Ripped off my training wheels.
Punctured my wheels.
Tore off the handles.

Hide and seek games.
Lost among the trees.
Never bothering to seek me.

Flying with my fairy wings.
Running with the magic stored in me.
Caught me and clipped me to the wall.

Witnessed me stack my lego blocks.
Kicked it down.
Crushing my castle.

Dancing with the sun.
Watched me sway off beat.
Burned my tutu to ashes.

The wind smiling with my superhero cape.
Locking you away.
But bad guys always break free.

Tag, you're it.
Chasing me away.
Falling every time I try to escape.

Drawing you Father's day cards.
Watched as you crumpled them up.
Tossing me away.

Catching all my passions
To spend my living in eternal love
I've emptied all their fountains in my well,
And to pour your ocean all among
I reach my hand out to the frosted sun
With sighs I pass my burning lungs

I fall into the heaven's sea
by the trustless wings of false desire
As I stand on the heights of my life
With a glimpse of a height that is even higher

When you're up against the wall
I'll be there holding your hands
You will rest your weary feet
in the heaven's golden sands

In a world of glass and paper doubt
All kinds of arguments and question deep
If I make it to morning and somehow believe
******* would not break from
thence
A mess, a mess of secrets and thieves
Throughout my life of negligence
Effects of terror and dear modesty
From walls never ceasing to close in
.

*His words,
once a celebration of love,
poetic affection,
written from the deepest
part of his heart
for her,

are now
nothing more than
creased and torn
pages of empty verses
shoved in the back pocket
of his worn out jeans

Ink bleeding between
the lines of a man
who believed he mattered,
only to find that he is
as insignificant
as his writings,

a forgotten poet,
a dried up pen in hand,
scratching sad poetry
on a lonely sidewalk
between the cracks of his life,
etchings of who he once was
