Hey, you, maybe we
could start over again and
get it right this time

Don’t ask to love me
when what you really mean is
you want to touch me

Is it enough to
say 'I miss you' before you
walk the other way?

I wasn't the
name on her tongue
when she fell in love.
At least she fell
in love at all.

The heart
learns to heal
and beat again,
but never to
the same
rhythm.

Just because your words
are comforting, doesn't mean
they bring peace of mind

9:47 AM

My heart remains
stuck in the same place-
immovable,
unbreakable,
but my love moves
and flows
through time.

I’m not mad
and I'm not upset-
I’m just howling for the
first time in a long time
and as you can imagine,
there’s still a lot of 'you'
in my lungs.

Maybe I'll disappear.
Maybe I'll find
peace of mind or
lose my mind.

My heart begged me to
do something dramatic and
so I set it free

7:39 AM

The ache of
another night
realizing that these
two hearts do not beat
for one another.
The pain of
another morning
yearning to wake up
next to someone
who cares.

When was the last time
someone knew you and not who
you pretend to be?

Sometimes the heart picks
its own poison and mine has
chosen you, my dear

1:37 PM

Wrote you a haiku
and all I lost was a small,
small part of myself

We are
problem-solving machines,
so naturally, in the absence
of real problems,
we cannot help but
create our own problems.
Perhaps we will never
be free of problems,
whether real or imaginary.

The word 'love' sounds more
desirable when it is
spoken from your mouth

4:10 PM

You were the last
bit of good in me.
You walked away,
and never gave it back.

I am forever
longing for the moment
where you and I
become
'we'

The only thing that
I am struggling to do is
to understand you

Maybe my poems
are so short because
I wish to avoid the pain
of remembering
too much.

One soul
and one heart
is not enough to
contain all
of this
sorrow.

We all tend to love in extremes,
to let our heart lead
rather than our head.
It is no wonder that balance
has never come natural
to humans-
never has.
We are all still trying
to figure out the perfect
balance between attachment
and detachment.

I still hope
you find comfort
in the shirt you stole
from me.
The one I wore my
heart on my sleeve
for you.
Yeah,
I really miss
that shirt.

Oh, I wish
I could turn back time
and laugh with you again.
To laugh and cry,
to hold you once again.
But now you have your bubbles
and me, nothing left at all.
Bubble girl,
I don't know how
to keep you from the winds.
Bubble girl,
may they one day carry you
back into my arms.
But for now,
goodbye,
bubble girl.

I’m sorry
that you can't
see her face
without seeing my face.
I hate that you ruined
all of our favorite songs-
just one note and I
am at your mercy.
But in the end,
I hope this will not destroy me,
well, me at least,
not because the ending torments me,
but because the memories don't.
No, quite the opposite.

Death has plagued my dreams
for quite some time now to the
point of fearing sleep

4:08 AM

I have only known
how to love you and now I
don't know what to do

2:17 AM
7/1/20

I find peace
in solitude-
emptying my soul
into the crowds and
refilling with each
strike of the pen.
Rinse and repeat.

Baby, hold me close-
these cold and lonely nights will
be the death of me

10:11 PM

The singularity of your kiss
erupted in a thousand galaxies-
a universe where you
are everything.

There are souls
so bright that,
when you are in their presence,
the sunflowers gravitate,
the stars are outshone
and the world is
all the more
brighter.

To think of you
smiling makes me ecstatic,
as if I could feel the joy
radiating from every photograph,
as if I was lucky enough
to see you smile
in the flesh.

Pain should
not break you,
it should introduce you
to a stronger you.
