I need you to wake me up
To hold me near
To tell me that you never left
And you're still right here

falling for you was like
jumping head first into
the deep end of a pool.
I knew I shouldn't
because the water was
too cold and too deep
but I did it anyways,
because I wouldn't mind drowning myself in you.

I cried.
It was only one tear, yes.
But it was there.

It was an ocean
And All 7 seas

And in that tear
Was our song

Our shared laughter

Our stolen kisses

Our endless embraces

Our climbing emotions

Our deep talks


It was the universe
And all galaxies involved

And in that tear
Was our secrets

Our whispers

Our commitment

Our curiosity

Our closeness

Our honesty


It was a world war
And every battle

And in that tear
Was our fights

Our lies

Our words

Our disgust

Our bombs and blows

Our relationship


I cried.
It was only one tear, yes.
But it was us.

And it slipped away
As though it were our love.

When did dating become a game?
And get so trashed?
Now all we think about is
"Hey, look at dat ***!"

People aren't special anymore
Legs are like open doors
We go from one to another
Wonder why we haven't found the right lover?

I want you and only you

I don't wanna leave you

Cuz I know for the rest of my whole life
I'm gonna need you

I'll need you to breathe

Like a breath of fresh air on a summer day

But I know that you've done gone
And you've strayed away

Why does it have to be so hard?

You've become my most important part

So I know if i should ever walk away
*I'll be leaving behind my heart

The wind caressed me
As though it were a fervent lover

I turned, elated
Thinking you had returned

Only to find
That you still loved her.

Truth is, there is nothing poetic about sadness, anger or numbness.

It's your eyes looking at the faceless, and artificial sheen of objects around you. It is the sugar in cold coffee and tea settling at the bottom, as your thoughts flit in and out of your eye-lashes.

Hoping you can still be tied at the very jaggered edges of this universe.

& yet, we write anyway.
For the truth we hide, hide and never seek will be black, navy, blue on those blank pages.
Funny how we reinforce  our words by placing a synonym in front of it.
Hey hey lovely reader!
How are  you today?
