Lock the doors. Shut the windows.
Lock me in this heart of yours.
Your heart is my new home. And I intend to live in it alone. Don't let anyone in, and don't let me out. Please, allow me to stay, and don't make me leave.
This heart of yours, how fragile it is. A work of delicate beauty, perhaps slightly cracked or partly broken, but still, a work of wonder. This is my new home, tattered and torn, but easily repairable.
Your heart, filled with goodness. Your heart filled with love. You may not feel it - you don't have to. The important thing is I do. I feel it, and I know it's true.
I don't care about your past, 'cause I'm too busy thinking of the future. A future with you. I don't care if your heart is cold, let me warm it for you. I know you've been through a lot, but I'm here now. It's all over.
Lock the doors. Shut the windows. I'm never leaving. Not unless you tell me to.
I love you. It's okay if you don't love yourself, let me do that for you. That's my part. I love you.
Lock the doors. Shut the windows.
Let me fix this heart of yours.

I feel like everything that has happened has led up to this.
The loving, the leaving, and the not-really living
Then loving, and living, and just living again.
You hurt me, I hurt you
Then we dance in vicious circles,
We, loveless, hopeless lovers..
You love me but you hate me.
I hate you but I love you
I s there no stopping
To the madness we've become?
Do we know the answer?
Do we want to know?

according to physics, nothing ever actually touches anything else because there is infinitesimal amount of space between each collection of atoms and I think I'm just trying to convince myself that you never really touched me but we both know you ******* did and no amount of hot water could wash those ******* memories away..

"It's been 367 days since I realized,
The different feeling when I looked into your eyes.
What I felt was nothing but surprised.
And I couldn't make the same mistake twice.

Looking back, I was so afraid.
I asked myself, ""How is it made?""
My heart answered, ""Soon it will fade.""
But somehow I knew, it was already played.

Tears fall down like a rain,
But this love for you will still remain.
I wonder why I can still stand the pain.
It ***** that I used my heart instead of brain.

But no more crying, I can't cry anymore.
It won't happen again like I did before.
Tears will no longer touch the floor.
But for anyone else, still can't open a door.

I wish I could tell you personally.
'Coz you don't know how much it hurts for me,
that some things are just not meant to be.
So tell me, how do I stop this misery?

I lost myself, I'm falling apart.
I shouldn't tell this... you broke my heart.
Because the decisions weren't smart.
How can I unlove you? Don't know where to start.

You know it and yes it's true,
Despite of the hurts that I'm going through.
And I hate the way I could never hate you.
The love is so strong, if you only knew.

Can't help it, it's just so real.
Mad because I don't know how you feel.
I am lost, I am on the wrong track
Why am I giving you something I could never have back?

Too much pain someday it'll make me grow.
Some people told me, ""Just take it slow.""
And I ain't scared or afraid to show,
Because I love you... and that's all I know.

Loving you, I will never regret.
This kind of feeling, I will never forget.
It's my mistake, I let myself fall.
Because I thought I have the right choice to risk it all.
-----------------------------------------------------------

It's been a year and finally, we went our separate ways. Wherever you are, I hope that you're happy because I am. Knowing that I would no longer see you, or be with you everyday makes it easier to move on. From a year now I want you to know that it still hurts. Of course. But, I promise myself that I won't be distracted again. Because even though it still hurts, it's not killing me anymore.

Thank you for the memories I thought I'd cherish forever, but I had to let go.
Thank you for this unrequited love.
Thank you for breaking me.

And for everything I ever did that hurt you, for all the pain I've caused you, I'm sorry. This is the best I can do for myself. For a better me. For a happier and healthier me. And for what I lost with you.

You were a lesson."

The surface of the water
Was rippled with a seemingly
Endless series of tiny waves
Like the goosebumps that
Elaborately covered
The flesh of your
Naked thighs.
The sound of the sea
Hungrily kissing the white sands of the shore.
The faint whispers of the wind...
The afternoon was pregnant
With poetry
But all the poetry it bore
Was pregnant of you
You
Of which there was no escape.

You left me hanging
Tears continuously falling
Like a flowing river, streaming
And my heart, aching
I mourned for almost eternity
Then I realized suddenly
That you are not worthy
For you've hurted me endlessly
Now you came back like nothing happened
Asking for my love once again
But no, my heart's hardened
Besides, enough is the pain
Feelings slowly fading
Thank God for that feeling
And now I started to be happy
I've moved on, finally..

Would anyone really care,
If I vanished without a trace?
If my screams echoed the hallways,
If briny tears stained my face?

Everyone is bonded so strongly,
How can I join these ties?
Will I always be an outsider,
Seen as nothing more than a fly?

What am I doing wrong?
Can you help me understand?
Do I not deserve your kinships,
What’s wrong with who I am?

*I want for someone to care,
To catch me if I fall.
Because if no one cares about you,
Do you exist at all?
