"maybe you'll write a book about me someday"

how can he not see
the narcissism of his tongue.
to think that if i ever,
poured my heart, my pain,
into a collection of
words, stories and poems
that if i ever
took the time,
to give myself like that,
it would be for him.

In my loneliness,
I almost called you.

But then I realized,
even when I had you,
I was still lonely.

And that says it all.

nivek

all a huddle

all the petals have fallen
plucked by the hand of the wind
...'loves me, loves me not'
it matters little now grey has come
Winter bereft of lovers
all a huddle from her cold cold hand.

i fell in love with his words,
instead of his actions.

he told me all about our
beautiful future, together.

but he never intended,
on finding it.

i truly loved you
with everything I had,
and then some.

and when you
almost left,
it disappeared.

my love feels
emptier now,
less raw.
