It's not that I'm needy
Nor is it because I'm bored
It's just the ineffable fact
That life's a little grayer
Without you
I lost myself while loving you,
Forgot the things I used to do.
Now in the dark, I softly see—
I don’t miss you,
I just miss me.

Much like you
I feel pain
when I am wounded

I cry
when my heart
shatters quietly

I begin to doubt
when silence
lingers too long

And I light like fire
when I feel
seen by you

because, much like you,
I want to be truly loved
even if it’s the last thing I do.
We carry different sorrows but dream alike

Are you happy mamma?
Asks my darling son.

He feels when I am in pain.
He feels when I feel calm.
He feels when I feel happy.
He feels when I feel sad.
He is all but three years young.

Alas, if only you could feel.
All the things that my little one feels.
For he feels them when he is with his ma.
Sometimes cuddled up,
Sometimes playing,
Sometimes just simply being there with me.

All I need is to feel loved,
All I need is your precious time,
For one day when I am not here I know I will be missed.
Please do not wait.
For one day it will be too late.

I feel alone.
Sitting here holding this glass of red,
That longs to be shared with you.
That belongs to all the stories wanting to be told.
Those stories on the tip of my tongue,
Waiting to be heard,
Waiting to be laughed at,
Waiting, simply waiting.
Then lost.
Forgotten.
To be turned into sorrow.
Anguish.
Pain.
That I feel right now.

With this glass of red as my companion.
That my little one feels when he is with me.
That if only you could feel if you were with me.
Simply be.
With me.

Sharing your laughter,
Sharing your stories,
Sharing your thoughts.
That is all I ache for.
I want.
I need.
You.
I am lost without you.

Looking strong,
Isn't always an advantage.
    Sometimes,
They forget you're human.
                They break you
                               And break you
                                              And break you,
And won't even bother to ask,
     If you're ok.
If I act strong, they think I'm doing totally fine.
If I act weak, they start judging n start complaining.

i wish you well,
i really do.
happiness
and love
and comfort
and every little slice
of goodness
you deserve.

i do hate you
just a little bit
though,
for how you
left things.
i hate you
just a little bit
for being well.

Immortality
Waves caress my feet,
ever so gently,
wind murmurs words of love
to me,
the sun kisses my soul
so warmly.

Within this ocean of affection,
my thoughts tremble,
but my heart yearns
to drown deep,
lost in the ebb.
Love yourself~~~~~
(even when life’s a mess, even when you feel unworthy, even when clouds of doubts and fears surround you)

Imagine creating a masterpiece happily, only to hear someone call it ugly and unworthy.
Yeah.... and that's how God and our parents feel when we talk down on ourselves

lizie
it’s selfish,
but i love
that every word i give you
turns into poetry.
