GAME OVER
MR LA MADRID May 2023
"Will you be okay?"

You asked me so casually,
as if I was some sort of a character
from a video game, you were playing,
with a couple of extra hearts to spare.
I automatically got the message when you asked me that question - that it was really time to go. Of course I was hoping you'd say something to stop me, but instead you asked if I was gonna be okay. Would you have stayed if I said no?

THE HEART
MR LA MADRID Apr 2023
But the heart is strong,
      it breaks
           over and over;
   but still lives,
      and still loves.

Persisting.

change of heart
MR LA MADRID Apr 2023
And then her heart changed.
Or at least she understood it.
She fell in love with a girl,
more than she is allowed to admit.

down the road
MR LA MADRID Apr 2023
i've been on this road for so many times,
it didn't mean anything.
but i took it once with you,
and it's never the same again.

HEROINE
MR LA MADRID Apr 2023
my infernal grace.
my heroine - a monster in disguise,
dressed in white,
divulged with elegance,
feeding on the souls of the romantics.

i should have known
in a hindsight.
my love, you are a curse,
draped with blinding lace
of golden threads.

oh, you have deceived a deluded
with your amber eyes,
illuminating through and through
on every inch
of my body.

but what is there to lose,
if i had already given my life to you
even before it started,
every beat,
every breath?

POSSIBILITY
MR LA MADRID Apr 2023
Is there a possibility
of a juncture in this lifetime,
that our paths will cross
and love is reciprocated?

meet me halfway
MR LA MADRID Apr 2023
we are on both ends
of the spectrum.

never meeting
halfway.

fire and ice
MR LA MADRID Apr 2023
we may have a few differences,
fire and ice,
burnt or melted.

but do i really care,
if we always end up
on the same side of the bed?
MR LA MADRID Apr 2023
I remember you on that empty street, under the dark sky and moonlight. Beneath the dim, yellow fluorescent that casted a perfect trace of your silhouette.

THE DAY WE MET
MR LA MADRID Apr 2023
First meetings are uncertain. Some may be the last and some may lead to another. Ours was definitely a naught - a unornamented exchange of passive hellos. Just a momentary encounter of stranger to stranger.

When Summer Ended
MR LA MADRID Mar 2023
After that day,
     the rain continued pouring.
Summer ended,
     and you were gone.

They said,
     the rainy days will be long.
I felt relieved, by the word's cryptic promise of an ending,
     that makes waiting only temporary.

summer
MR LA MADRID Mar 2023
i have never thought
   that wishing for rain would mean
wishing you away
Summer is always a person to me.

TREACHERY
MR LA MADRID Nov 2017
I often get those daydreams
     where those hands I can hold,
those lips I can kiss
     and your face I can trace
with my fingertips.
 
But they were all the Universe’s scheme;
     to allow me to feel your warmth,
to get lost in a moment,
     to fall into a trick -
a deception, gone in just a click!

BLACK AND WHITE
MR LA MADRID Nov 2017
We’re taught to love in black and white,
   It’s wrong when we feel differently.

So we bounce back and forth
   In perpetual grey affinity.
Nov 2017 · 267
The Day
MR LA MADRID Nov 2017
I wait for the day
you will love me back
               so I can write about
        how we fell in love.
I wait for the day
you will feel the same;
   the day your heart
        I can finally have.

Afterlife
MR LA MADRID Nov 2017
I love you enough for the universe to conspire, to make up for this untimely love story – now plotted exclusively perfect, pending in the afterlife.

The Moon
MR LA MADRID Nov 2017
That night she met me in secret. Her gaze kindled down where I sat under the darkened sky. I told her about my day; how lonely I was amidst thousands of strangers. She said she was too, when the sun lit brighter down on me than she ever could. She went unnoticed, idled. She was lonely amongst the stars. She was the loneliest amongst the infinite universe.

A Relic
MR LA MADRID Aug 2017
A love was found
A love is lost
The memories resound
And the damages it caused

Dashed Hopes
MR LA MADRID Aug 2017
I can reach you
     through my eyes.
I can touch you
     with my stare.

I can undress you
     in my mind.
But to make your heart beat for me,
     I can only long for in despair.

Drunk in Love
MR LA MADRID Aug 2017
It would have been safer
To claim that I'm drunk in love
To take one step close to you
And take two steps back

To whom...
MR LA MADRID Jun 2017
"How many times
     do you have to tell yourself
     to stop
     only to keep going?"

"Endlessly," I said,
     "until maybe I finally
     reach my destination."

"Where?"

"You might mean, to whom..."
     I answered.

The Hero From Her Reverie
MR LA MADRID Jun 2017
she sees the person that i truly am
by the way she looks at me,
and i always wanted to be worth the effort,
to become the hero from her reverie.

but a gaze right through her eyes;
i see myself tripping and failing.

this is the scariest part --
to get to see your lover every day;
to have her eyes greet you in daylight,
only to watch your self's reflection crash at bay.
You deserve someone whom, just by looking at them, you become whole.

Call it Quits
MR LA MADRID May 2017
i can feel myself
physically fading
like a dreamer's dream disrupted
completely disappearing
and soon forgotten

i can feel myself
drifting into the void
like the promises you uttered
but were never fulfilled
and soon forgotten

1000 SUNSETS
MR LA MADRID May 2017
she is the perfect hue
of red and orange
breaking through
a deep blue and purple sky

she scatters on both ends
of the endless horizon,
extending her radiance
from north to south

she peeks behind sleek clouds,
gleaming upon matter to matter,
leaving dark shadows
at the rear

she is fiery but comes with
and fondles brisk air
leaving hints of yearning
in the hearts of her admirer

they say her beauty is a curse
that turns everything she touches into gold
then later deserting
the souls that ache for her to hold

she is a thousand sunsets
that retreat beyond the perspective
making one last appearance
between the sky and the ocean

plunging her charm once more,
revealing her infernal grace
she is a thousand sunsets
that i have to chase
May 2017 · 458
her.
MR LA MADRID May 2017
you always say her name
i can still hear it,
every syllable,
even when i sleep.

ricocheting incessantly
inside my hollowed brain,
as if it was my own
to remember.

until i wished for it to end
and to my surprise, it did.

but even then,
i never heard you utter my name
in replacement of hers.
instead, i stopped hearing
from you completely.

You're now a villain
In the tale you used to star
The staled heroine

— The End —
