i stand outside the house
the only thing keeping me warm is the view of the city lights
for they remind me of how perfectly we are capable of shining individually
but my deeper thoughts often recall how blissfully we were
when your hand was within mine
& how we would effortlessly outshine the moon when we were united

My desires are met by the sweetest taste of your kiss
The sound of your voice brings about a heartbeat to my words
Let my embrace wipe away the tears caused by your heartbreaking past
Even the stars are envious of the beauty you possess,
Their twinkle is nothing but a shameful attempt to imitate the perfection captured within your smile.

Nothing compares to your love,
The love which has been found to be more abundant than ocean waves
I want to sink deeper
Drowning in the bliss which can only be discovered in your brown eyes.

No amount of pain compares to the feeling of not having you by my side
So I bleed
Knowing that your softest touch can heal the most broken soul.

Time will try to separate us
But it won’t matter,
The immortality of our love will linger peacefully among the gardens of paradise.

Observing the imperfections of his life
His destructive thoughts cause tornadoes which lead him to emotional turmoil
His inadequacies are his heartbeat,
A constant reminder as to why he will never be great
His mind,
Like the flow of a river
Meanders through darkness,
In the hopes of reaching the seas of inner peace.

He enjoys the silence
The silence which listens
The silence which does not seek perfection,
But originality
The silence which does not crave understanding,
But admiration
The silence which for once,
Desires his presence.

As others fear to touch his skin
As others fear to listen to the words he speaks,
The words which dance in the wind
Is he non-existent
Or does he only exist in the reflection of his own?

You faded out of existence
The ghosts of our memories haunt the planet we once lived in
I can still taste the blissfulness of your kiss
In my dreams
Reality,
Has become a nightmare eclipse by loneliness.

Having withdrawals
I am an addict
Craving for your touch,
A drug that once enticed a state of perpetual euphoria.

Reminiscing about the conversations about “forever”
An ideology so foreign to my ignorant heart
You
Only You
Made me oblivious to the ticking clocks
They seemed irrelevant when I was lost (and found) in the mystery of your hypnotizing eyes.

Your soul
A magician in a simplistic way
Presented an illusion of “love”
I
For one
Fell for it
Without remembering that illusions are not meant to be real.

Cold winter nights,
When I crave for the warmth of your skin
Our love drops ocean deep
And your heart is the treasure, and when unlocked joy is to be found within.

Without you, I vision a blurry future
You’re the lenses which magnify the beauty of a clearer future
I’ll be the provider of your every smile
I’ll be the comfortable of your every cry
In darkness, my hunger for you screams bright colors
Your love is the paintbrush that paints a picture that helps me get by.

Let the rain wash away your insecurities
I’ll be the sunshine
The sunshine which will highlight your beauties
I hope that the power of the happiness you give is never out of reach
And I don’t care if we die poor
The strength of our love will be what makes us rich.

A city carefully structured by words
Each and every letter is an addition to the colors which contribute to a priceless piece of art
Each and every building is a reflection of a memory eroded by time
Birth of a civilization conquered by the rhythm of synchronized heartbeats
Echoes of timid voices are heard within the silent street corners.

It is a paradise orchestrated by simple chords of acoustic guitars
Reality knows no limit
It appears to be a dream touched by perfection
Loneliness
As an inmate, guarded by the blissfulness of our imagination.
The stars twinkling peacefully
Leading broken souls into intoxicating emotions.

A city which lingers a scent of hope
A city carefully structured by words.

Tears of a drowning heart
Memories of a lost soul
Trying not to remember what happened in the past
Because you leaving me is all I can recall
Fallen off the cliff of heartbreak
You're no longer there to catch me when I fall.

Simply faded in front of my eyes
I was blinded by the fog which covered up all the lies
No more warmth in my arms
Just shivers like the winter cold
I can't stand to watch the realities of my nightmares unfold.

Maybe when the sky is blue
And the sun is bright enough to shine away my flaws,
I won't be oblivious enough to miss the beautiful day
Sometimes in life our dreams aren’t as close to reality as we would like them to be
But I'll never lose hope for the day that you come back to me.
