What's an empty vessel to offer
From it nothing can spring from
Yet here this is
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)

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
b&w
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

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.
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

it spread too fast
burned so bright
gone out too soon
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.

You are someone to someone
Anyone to no one
No one to someone

Whoever you want to be
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
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

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.
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.
ML Apr 2017
Always I can sense you
Instinctively
Unknowingly
Inescapably
ML Dec 2018
Ran out of patience
Ran out of strength

Never (running out) of love
Never (running away) from 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 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
ML Apr 2017
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

— The End —
