No, you can't.
You can't just sweep someone
off their feet and
walk away.

There's someone out there
who feels better just because
you are in their life

De-center them.
De-center anyone and everyone
who gives you the slightest shred of doubt.
De-center from those you need to
and center on yourself.

Are you really healed
or are you just not trying
to think about it?

7:14 AM
18/8/21

Every person
comes with their
own legion of demons so
pick a Hell and
make it yours.

This ship is going
to sink despite the fact that
I can hold my breath

6:26 PM
15/8/21

If I am going
to be a lesson I hope
I was a good one

6:22 PM
15/8/21

To this day,
I can still sense you
in every sunray and
all its warmth you have shared
with the world.
Daughter of the sun,
it is with your light
this world doesn't seem so cold
so for the sake of humanity,
don't you take that away.

I can sense you
in every sunflower-
in the scent of every petal,
the sweetness of the pollen
and the colour and light
you radiate.

Even though
I love you hard,
it is still so
easy.

You are a haiku
written in the pages of
my poetic heart

2:07 AM
15/8/21

I drink the poetry
that flows from your mind
like rivers of honey.
So sweet are your thoughts
and so pure is your soul.

Just keep me busy
through my days so I don't have
to feel anything

6:02 PM
14/8/21

We danced with the trees-
our souls and nature as one-
it was just a dream

3:45 PM
14/8/21

I juggle with the
love and hate you have for me-
what am I to do?

1:10 AM
13/8/21

From heart to paper,
thoughts have a way of getting
lost in translation

13/8/21
12:49 AM

I have created
another illusion of
connection to you

9:40 PM
12/8/21

Sometimes
we fall in love
with those who simply
show a kindness that few can reciprocate.
They most likely won't think
twice about you yet
here we are,
left so helplessly
in love.

There is nothing more
powerful than a woman
who's realized her worth

10:15 AM
12/8/21

Life will not hand you
your dreams so easily-
It simply gives you the tools
to achieve them.

Your words are hollow.
Each one can be tossed
into the sea and drift back to you.
You will never navigate
these shores again.

You'll go through this world
in search of a lover that
you will never find

5:48 PM
10/8/21

No one likes a mystery-
we hate being left in the dark.
To not know is to suffer
night after night.
What a cruel fate
to be void of
clarity.

I hear your voice and
I hear poetry, music
and everything nice

6:11 PM
9/8/21

Loving me is like
watering a sunflower
but without the sun

12:21 AM
9/8/21

Somehow, I always
seem to leave with a bit less
than I had before

12:13 AM
9/8/21

You are more than
you give yourself credit for
and even more in my eyes.
I hope you get all the things coming to you-
there's no one more deserving of that.

To want
and to be wanted
is an all too human condition-
or is it a flaw?
Either way,
it is nothing to
feel shame for.

All alone with the
voices in your head.
Now I'm face to face
with the living dead.

Dear Diary;
Lately I've felt like
all I am doing is 'existing'-
I am 'just here'.
I wake up day after day,
each one a repeat, an endless loop.
Nothing happens anymore,
I'm just going through the motions
to get the **** day over with
just to do it the next day.
This is not what I had envisioned-
this is not living.

You have the only
hand that does not feel foreign
between my fingers

3:40 PM
7/8/21

I have come to realize that
we, humans,
have a religion-shaped hole
in all of our hearts.
What do you fill yours with?

We're passing strangers-
eyes meet eyes, lips meet lips-
strangers once again

11:39 AM
7/8/21

It's a dog eat dog world, baby,
and I simply found myself
at the bottom of your
food chain.

Yes,
it hurt,
but not so much
for what you did,
but because of your dishonesty.
You ran away with the moon
and blamed it on the sun.
You left me in
the dark.

Fear not,
your soulmate
will make you fall in love
with yourself too.
They are you and
you are them.
Two souls,
one love.

One day
you'll look back
and be glad things did
not work out.
Sometimes,
someone new takes you
by surprise and you wouldn't
have had it any
other way.

The first night we spent together
was heavenly.
How we arrived in this Hell,
I will never
understand.

The skies burn red
and I remember
everything you said.
A warm breeze, a warm memory,
running through my head.

I sleep alone with
empty arms but that's okay-
it is nothing new

11:20 AM
5/8/21

You, a bee,
dashing from flower to flower,
leaving them in a field of smiles.
We wish you the sweetest pollen
and sunshine to guide you home.

It is okay to leave,
but if and when you do,
don't forget to cherish the good
and abandon the bad.

Sometimes
two souls find each other
through the crowds and chaos
and a magic blooms:
Two hearts
become one.

Life is increasingly
turning into one big "should've"-
perhaps it has always
been one.

I didn't know a
kiss could turn into such a
descent into hell

1:49 PM
3/8/21

There are a lot of
ways to stop the pain but the
scars always remain

1:47 PM
3/8/21

I like the city
but I do miss looking up
at the starry night

1:45 PM
3/8/21

I once knew a man
who could read minds and with this,
the pain never ceased

7:24 AM
3/8/21

We can see the galaxies
beyond the Milky Way
the way we can see the pain
beyond our smiles.

When I walk through this city,
I see so many wonderful restaurants,
but the only one I want
is located halfway across the world
somewhere down your street.
