Contrast
C Jan 2020
She adds contrast to my life
She can turn anxiety into ease,
Fear into comfort, anger into calm
She adds color to my cheeks just above my pale lips
My cold fingers melt as I trace her warm skin
And when I hold her close
She melts my cold heart
When I am in her arms
Time stops and I want to stay there forever

She is the perfect contrast
She balances out my disaster
with her perfection

Foolish
C Jun 2019
And i'd wait for you for eternity. If i cant have you in this lifetime, i'll wait for you in the next. And the next and the next and the next, foolishly. Trust me, I'll know it's you. The familiar feeling of you. The warmth between your arms. The scintillating look in your eyes. Your cold touch. Every small detail of you is stuck in my soul. I may be foolish but I cannot waste this soul of mine if it cannot be yours.

tremors
C Jan 2019
I have tremors

I have no control of my hands shaking
As calm as I may be, I have tremors
And when I get anxious or anything
The shaking is far, far worse

Yet all I ask is for her hand to hold
And I will never let go
And I hope she will hold on
No matter how bad my fingers tremble

over and over

one thing i learned
is that even the loveliest of things
will eventually disappear
as quick as lightning
and as slow as a sunset

for years now
i've been praying
that God would send me an angel

and it's also a coincidence
that you are named
after an angel

lifetimes.
C Dec 2017
and if this lifetime
is not for us
i swear
i will search for you
in every other lifetime
and perhaps in one of them
i am yours
and you are finally mine

C Dec 2017
you left me
two years ago

what made you change your mind?
i look back at all our memories
how happy we were
and how our love seemed perfect
then suddenly you told me
that your feelings faded

years later
i'll admit, i haven't fully gotten over you
but now, i look at you
the person who once loved me
the person who changed her mind
the person who left me

i recall in my brain
the woman i loved
but i look at you now
so much of you has changed

this is not the soul that i used to know
this is not the same person
that i loved two years ago

C Dec 2017
if i were to be an object
i want to be coffee
so that i would be
the first thing
that your lips would touch
as the morning rises

Second Chances
C Sep 2016
"Do you believe
in second chances?"
she asked me.

I replied, "I don't.
But I do believe
that whatever is destined
will gravitate its way back home."

I paused.

"And maybe that's why
I am here
standing before you..."

What If
C Sep 2016
What if one day you'll wake up
And realize you still love me
And regret everything you said
And the time we wasted away from each other

What if one day you'll wake up
Aching for my kiss again
For these lips that utter 'I still love you'
Will forever crave your mouth.

What if one day you'll wake up
Cold and freezing
And you wish to be in my arms
I would gladly wrap you in my love.

What if one day I'll wake up
And hear you knock on my door
With tears in your eyes
Apologizing
I would gladly take you back, my love
But then again, what if

Last
C Jul 2016
If I were to end my life
with a gun aimed at my temple,
just know, my love,
the bullet wouldn't be
the last thing inside my brain.
The last thing on my mind
would be you.

— The End —
