A year (or two)
ML May 2019
At the right time
You came
(We were) Careless, carefree
In spontaneity

Best of times
We lived in those moments
Making dreams come true
Far fetched if not for you

In the worst
You stayed and held me
Tried more, tried better
You believed relentlessly

A year (or two) later
Still giddy, still crazy
(I’m) Madly, deeply
More in love with you

Limitless
ML Aug 2018
You are someone to someone
Anyone to no one
No one to someone

Whoever you want to be

ML Sep 2016
b&w
It was all white
Bright, ceaseless, full of possibilities

Then it turned just black for you
Nothing, too sudden, an ending

Now in the gray area
Here I still remain

it spread too fast
burned so bright
gone out too soon

Magician
ML Apr 2017
She was a magician
Making people believe
Tricks and illusions
Of happiness and glee

Oh, but despite the good charade
All she really needed
Was one individual from that sea
To see right through

Pull her down from that stage
Say show's over
Reveal your true self
And I will believe you

Part 2
ML Aug 2016
Too much drizzle is okay. Too much of the rain, unbearable.

I'm sorry i became the rain. I'm sorry i became too much.

Always I can sense you
Instinctively
Unknowingly
Inescapably

Ran/ Run
ML Dec 2018
Ran out of patience
Ran out of strength

Never (running out) of love
Never (running away) from you

Part 1
ML Aug 2016
I think when people say they love the rain, they meant only the drizzle. Because once the storm sets in, once the flood rises, they cower, they leave.

Onlooker
ML Nov 2018
Depressed when you’re poor
Is being lazy

In love when you’re young
Is temporary

Say say that’s what they say
I’m tired of the same old story

It don’t matter
They know bearly

Echo (of you and me)
ML Apr 2017
It was always there
One so resounding, never ending
It seemed to last forever
The pain and distraught it was bringing

When I least saw it coming
The spectrum I'm in got bigger, wider
In time's incessant passing
The resonance grew weaker, softer

Away, I got farther
Ceased recall of the feeling
A sillage, now only a reminder
Of a memory that would soon lose meaning
an outlook, a place I hope to reach

sillage (n.) - fr. a lingering impression of something having passed by

(the) You
ML Aug 2018
You i’ve grown fond of
You i look forward to

You i can’t stand
You that drives me mad

I cant pick them apart
I wont pick them apart

You in your entirety
You are who i love

Celeste and Jesse
ML Mar 2017
I will always protect you. I will always look out for you. I will always worry if something happens to you. Perhaps, I will always love you too; just not in that way.
You were once my life. You're only a part of it now. But you always will.

Had
ML Mar 2017
Had
Had we been more open
The collapse wouldn't have had to happen

Had we said what was inside our heads
It wouldn't have been this difficult to mend

Had we known
We could've prevented the blow

Had we held on
There wouldn't be the need for moving on

Had we done things differently
We could've remembered each other fondly

Who am I kidding though?
We both know
Had we stayed
It still would've remained frayed
There is no had we.
We had.
We wasted what we had.

A solar system
ML Mar 2018
He gave me no stars, nor moon
No anything beyond his reach
He gave me what he had
What he was capable of
And it was enough
It was all and more
(He was all and more)

Reality (of you)
ML Mar 2018
Intangible, this feeling
Is as real as the tangible proof
I've seen, felt, and tasted
That makes the reality of you
tangible (n.) - something that can be seen, touched, and/or tasted

You don't  ever learn, do you?
Look what he's done to you

You don't deserve this
Stop caving in to the temporary bliss

Antithesis
ML Aug 2018
What's an empty vessel to offer
From it nothing can spring from
Yet here this is

— The End —
