They tried to break me, but this

blood that runs in me, is made of ink.

And these unbreakable bones, are made of poetry.


*Sandoval

I breathe him in, he breathes me out.

Its like i'm lost and cant be found.

*Sandoval

I think the worst part of losing you, is never seeing you again.  For

us, there will never be any random unpredictable encounters.  

And the thought of not seeing you again,  even if its just far away,

lingers in my mind like an old book, waiting to be read.

We will never get a second chance, we are so far away, I guess

thats what you give up when you fall in love a thousand

miles away.

*Sandoval

Have you ever missed someone so badly,

you start having conversations with them in your

head?  -- She asked him.

But the utter silence he left couldn't respond.


*Sandoval

You* and I were like the sea,


both sad and reckless all at once.


*Sandoval

I bleed words not blood.


So, if you hurt me. I'll scar

verses not wounds.

*Sandoval

Appreciate* the loneliness in me.

One day it wont beg for you no more.


*Sandoval

I miss you, the same way

the butterfly misses its

cocoon on a long journey

to migration.

*Sandoval

That's what writing does to you. It eats

your free time, and your soul it swallows

it whole, so that you don't get hurt

by flesh it breaks your bones with inspiration.

And, the feeling while I'm writing is this ecstasy

that controls my senses. I was meant for this,

ink tainted fingers, blank pages and this loneliness.

*Sandoval

Your lying hazel eyes, such a hellish paradise.


And, I see my reflection in them, I can hear it scream.


It wants to be set free, but I just cant leave.


*Sandoval

Your indifference is crushing in on me.

I've been broken before, but nothing ever

hurt quite like this.

*Sandoval

Without me, he is nothing,


and without him, I am just a memory.

*Sandoval

I am so alone, but you are so blind.

There's plenty in this world that seek solace in

my words.  They come to me, play with the tangles

in my hair, but you, distant cold you, the only one I

have eyes for, just don't care to be my muse.

*Sandoval

I imagined myself. Laying in bed, curled up next

to you. Reading my favorite book, windows open,

moon glowing in my hair. Synchronizing
my thoughts to your heart.  But sometimes

we yearn for too much, and people always part.

*Sandoval

He said he was too  ordinary, if he only knew ordinary

things could be breathtakingly beautiful too.

*Sandoval

I fell in love with his eyes, it was like having two tiny

galaxies all to myself.

*-Sandoval

I am alone life passes me by; in front of the sea there is no

one for me. My soul is gone, I can see its shadow from afar. What a lonely life I live, sitting on this bay. My pen,

my thoughts and everything you never got to say. It was always meant this way.

*-Sandoval

I feel the shadow of your obscurity,

and though nothing is yet lost, I

drown myself in the unknowingness

of your already sunken  eyes.


*-Sandoval

Poetry* has never hurt like this before. I beg of you, drown this

hurt, and **** it with your last  touch. Touch my skin with your lips, let them rest against my bare neck. And let me drown in

you as well the disillusionment of a love  separated by the stars. Spare me one last look, tame in me this fire that yearns for you,

this fire that can't be put out.  Save me. From myself, one last night, before we say goodbye.


*Sandoval

I feel myself forgotten, like a lost voyage with no destination.


*Sandoval

I feel dead inside, as if someone put their hands inside my soul and

ripped it from me whole. You took everything and left nothing in
return. I want my life back, I want to breathe again, I want to feel

alive again. I've been dead since you left. Now tell me beautiful

tragedy, if I look to the sky, and the bare moon does not cry your
absence inside these four walls, then who will mourn your loss.

Who will break down inside and write your name in the still of

the night, with nightmares made of stars, if not me, then who.

*Sandoval

It did hurt, it hurt her like hell. His muted thoughts that cut her

flesh of poetry open with silent knives, yet what he didn't know is

that, with his silences, he was only teaching her to live without

him. He was her cocoon, but it was too late... She was

becoming a butterfly. And with her wings of poetry she would

soon learn how to fly. And, he will break.. and it will hurt him

see her leave but it will be too late, she wont look back, for she will

be free.


*-Sandoval

I touched  him with my hands of galaxies; And spoke to him,

the silent language of the universe.



*-Sandoval

I* watch him while he tells a story. And how he gets excited

when he's about to get to the good part, and I just sit there and

listen to him. As if he were the only person in the room. To me,

that's happiness.


-*Sandoval

I loved  you. In the same way I loved  literature, now the

inspiration is gone and so are you. Whats left of me, a beating

pen with no sonnets no sounds, no syllables but the mere

memory of a daydream.


*Sandoval

He* named a star after me not knowing I gave birth to them.


*-Sandoval

We could move away together, and be happy. Fall asleep with the stars, crack open a bottle of wine and gaze at each other for fun, this could be it. You and I, together against time, for the rest of our lives.


*-Sandoval

I* saw my reflection in the glass that I lifted to my face. It was the

reflection of a drunken disappointment,  and this red wine tasted

like  loneliness and sad  poetry. I don't know what you did to

me, but

Hemingway,  Neruda and Fitzgerald all went down in history,

and I'm starting to understand why. Unrequited love. One  more sip

and the next drunken  poet is me.


*-Sandoval

Time* always takes but never gives. And, if you ask me what you were to me. You were a watch on my wrist.

*-Sandoval

Tame* the fire inside my soul but please, don't extinguish it.
*-Sandoval

Why cant you love me the same way I love you? He asked.


- My dear, all my favorite writers are dead, life isn't fair. I responded.


*-Sandoval

The devil smiled while he comforted me from his own hell.
*-Sandoval

In your words, the infinite stars of the universe live. And, your

syllables are vines that wrap around my soul and clench onto it, like

the moon to the earth

*-Sandoval

Time* is but a ryhme, in the sonnet of a lonely poets Song.


*-Sandoval

It's as if god drained my most perfect daydream. Gave it a

breath  and laid you right beside me.


*-Sandoval

But, your soul keeps searching for me. And, my memories keep

trying to find you.

*- Sandoval

My heart is anxious. I have lived a million lives and loved a million

different ways.  

*-Sandoval

To have found you within a million galaxies was already magical enough.

*-Sandoval

And, I'll think of you. Through syllables of broken words, through my

silences that only scream come back. I'll remember  you as the

flower that grew out of winter and misses its spring petals.

-*sandoval

I had daydreams about you. White like the crest of a wave,

sweet like the waters of a lake.  Free like the rays of the moon on

your soul.

*-Sandoval

Her soul whispered tales about the moon, her essence carried this luminous dust as if she came from the stars. As if the sun had fallen in love with her and would brighten skies everyday just to find her.
*-Sandoval

It was like James Dean.  The only thing I've ever seen. That's made me feel as close to the moon, closer than the stars have ever been.
*-Sandoval

"I love  you to the earth and back." Said the moon to the sun as they met every dawn and every dusk.

But, your soul is tainted by the ink of my pen. Long ago, when I held your chin with my pigmented hands for the first time, your soul penetrated deep into mine. I know this love is forever for a poets love never dies.
*-Sandoval

You are as deep as i am in the universe, for the constellations in your eyes know no boundaries. Your soul which moves your hands and squints your eyes, was made up of fallen stars and  burnt out suns. Your mind which no other will ever fathom, is connected to mine through silent words, and screaming galaxies.
*-Sandoval
