I know you mean well

But I'm afraid

My last love fell

My feelings fade

Yet you caught me off guard

with your laughter and honesty

You make resisting smiling so hard

When you ask me to be just me

But I'm still afraid

To give you what's left of my heart

And yet you try your hardest and lit a spark

A spark enough to illuminate the darkest parts of me

Then you reach out and told me

To not be afraid

Drowning in my emotions
I gasp for air
There's nothing left for me
Now that you're not there
I left you hurtin'
Because you hurt me too
I thought this would be better
I thought I could set you free
But by leaving you,
I took the memories
You were everything I loved
You were everything I left
Nothing left of you for me to hold
you were my breath
I did love you
and I still do
But you deserve much more
More than I could ever give
I hope you find that someone
Since there's nothing left of me
Besides my empty breaths

Morning I wake, I ponder of you

Lost in thought, unsure of what to do

This ache in my chest, lingers uneasily

No questions asked of what it could be

Day moves on, still thinking of you

Afternoon sky, no shades of blue

Eternally musing over past happiness

Missing and yearning those moments of bliss

Night takes over, quiet it will always be

Without your voice sleep means nothing to me

As I lay awake with the acquainted ache in my chest

I ponder I wonder will nothing put it to rest?

All that is needed to be said is spoken clearly through your eyes

The light I yearn for shines no longer when you look at me

All that I once saw is now vacant in your expressions

Emotions that once ran rampant now gone

Hole in my heart slowly growing

My feelings ebbing away

Darkness creeping

Embracing me

All is gone

I wanted to run when you fractured my heart
And yet I stayed
clinging onto hope
Years went on
I slowly lost parts of me
you kept trying your hardest
But you couldn’t see
I wanted out
To save you
To save me
I couldn’t persist
I couldn’t reconcile
Sadness crept into my heart
Into my smile
Into every part of me
Yet you still looked at me lovingly
Then painfully
Gradually feelings die
Overwhelming sorrow
I pushed you away
Now alone
Apart
It’s over
Your fingers slip through mine
And You finally let go
This was what I wanted –
Was it not?
Didn’t want to see you anymore
But you and your beauty are all I see
Tears fall down my face
I let you go

When I first saw you

I knew from the start

That not only from your beauty

But your grace captured my heart

These broken pieces of me you hold so gingerly

And with just a touch

Erase all the pain and unwanted memories

Life never started until I met you

I hope and I wonder if you have these feelings too?

What did I do to deserve your attention?

Because I've done nothing for myself that deserves redemption

But I feel like I've finally found my light

My brightest start in the darkest night.

I miss wrapping my arms around you in bed
The warmth of your back against my chest
The smell of your hair as I nuzzle your neck
The slow heave of your breath as you sleep
Was the safest and most peaceful place to be at night

And yet, you're no longer there
As I lay bare my heart to no one else
Tears I shed in bed for no one else
I wonder how much longer does it have to hurt
Especially now that I know we aren't together

The bed is cold and empty at night without you here
The nights quiet and painful without your breath
Nights are no longer peaceful or safe
I feel the darkness creeping on me now that I'm alone
There's nowhere left to hide in this dark embrace

Poetry is love

Its words carry my feelings

Across time

Across minds

Shared with others

Interpreted by the heart

In any way it wants

Poetry is my love to you

To take how you will

To give however you want

So take me across time

across minds

across hearts

and I will love you

Till the end of time
