If love had weight,
Help me carry my heart,
For a thousand beat,
You made it pound.

But if this love cannot be taken,
I'll throw a coin in the well,
Place my hope in that token,
That someday you may fall.

And if this love will not suffice,
I'll give you my written letters,
Tell you stories that I made,
All these tears that I've gathered.

If still my love's found vain
Break this heart gently
For I'm a fragile heart
That is slow to mending.

Yet if my love is fettered
Don't fake to help me unchain,
I know I'm not that worthless,
Now leave my heart again.

But—as long as this heart still beats,
You'll still be where it ends,
This love was never worthless
Come be my love again.
The poem I wrote after I confessed to my crush.

Why do I keep on
Watching your glowing eyes when
They don't shine for me.
Why? But you told me that it's because they shine for everyone.

(co-written with a friend)

It's not in the way the sun
shines upon your face
It's not in the way the colors
paint your lips into a smile
It's how everything put your eyes
in retrospect with mine
and how they travel a million miles
just to find their way into each other's arms

It's not in the way you look
for beauty does fade
It's not in the way you move
for I'll carry you that day
When the earth shall weaken our bones
When love is all we have
When the sun won't shine anymore
And the colors starts to fade
I'm with you.

I'm with you until the stars
no longer embrace the moon
For time does not matter
as distance won't count,
I will search the world for your eyes
for your hands, and your smile
I will cross oceans that spread
from your horizon to mine
For it's you that I ache for
It has always been you,
the safe haven that I long for.

I'm with you till the worlds collide
Even when the universe is against us
When the air won't let us breathe
I'm with you till vanity
You're the only one that will matter
For a lifetime is vain
Without your arms in mine
So rest in my chest, my dear
We'll celebrate this world together
Not minding what could happen
Cause you're here with me forever.
Love is an amazing word, and a beyond-word feeling

It isn't cold,
but he's freezing.
Thin-skinned,
still is breathing
Warm me.
Hug me.

He longs for love,
but he isn't chosen.
Young lad,
don't be broken.
Warm yourself.
Love yourself.
What if the only person we've been waiting to love us, is ourselves?

I love you in the dark—when sadness is a giant,
When I'm lost in sadness and in it's playground,
There you are,
Caressing me with grandeur of emotions.

I love you in all your shapes—none of it matters,
You're the only inconstant thing,
That is still beautiful,
It what makes you unique.

I love you with your love—the sun, that makes you shine,
That a time in the heavens, you become one,
But still I'm afar,
Watching your beauties combined.

I love you from this distance—far and unreachable,
How "how far" did not matter,
How it was enough just to see you glow,
Being light to the vastness of the dark.

I love you in all your craters, your bumps—your imperfections,
How your beauty cannot be bounded,
That even I who loves you,
Will not know unless you show me.

I love you through the night—touching my soul,
With the display of your magnificence,
Leaving me in awe,
And my mind in a flowery grave.

I love you now and forever—time is never a problem
Death may take me,
But not my love for the moon,
Cause this love is always, a flower in bloom.
Dedicated to the moon of my life, i love you.

Oh, I saw you downtown
With the man you told me you love
Wearing that long white gown
Ready to give your vows above.

Oh, I saw you downtown
I'm with the man I told you I love
Look how fast we have grown?
How are you doing my old friend?

Remember when we lived uptown
How we lied down to see the stars?
How we named each of them?
How we painted them in your walls so dear.

I remember how we
Carved our names on that tree
How we promised forever will be
Why did you have to leave?

But I'm sorry that I left
Like how your father wanted
How he told me I'm worthless
So I made worth of myself.

You didn't tell me a word
I waited hours, and days, and months
Hoping you'd knock at our door
But you didn't came why?

I came, I knocked, but why?
No one was there to open for me
Then I saw you from afar
With the man you seem to love.

In my despair he loved me
He came in when you left me
We carved our names on that tree
The tree where your love left me

You're still my love my dear
I did it all for you
That one day I'll come back
And we will get this through.

Maybe you didn't love me at all
All you did was flattery
That when time comes I'll fall
You'll play your games on me.

I've cried every single night
I've left you there to be
Numbed with all the pain
The pain you felt because of me.

I've cried every single night
Since the day you left me
And now I've moved on
Stronger than I used to be.

And now you're there downtown,
Exchanging vows in that long white gown
With the man you told me you love
Now grief is all I have.

And now I'm here downtown
Wearing this long white gown
With the man I told you I love
Happiness is all I have.
A sad soliloquy of both man and woman to each other
