Your love—
a slow-burning addiction,
deadly in its ecstasy,
seductive,
intoxicating.

I’m ensnared, consumed—
pour me another
obscene dose.

I’m weightless,
drunk on the high,
dizzy with devotion,
gasping for more
as my lungs surrender.

Numbness takes over.
I feel nothing—
and I adore it.
Don’t wake me.

Laughter that echoes joy,
Screams that shatter peace.

Tender kisses and warm embraces,
Then nails, teeth — the violent release.

Red rose petals on the bed,
Blood drops staining the floor.

Serenades and whispered praises,
Then curses hurled, love turned war.

A future spun from golden promises,
Now scattered in the dust of loss.

Before I met you, I didn’t know what patience was.
I was never the waiting kind.
But you taught me.

Your love taught me how to wait—
for hours, just to see your name light up my phone,
for days, just to see you walk through the door again.

Now I understand:
Love takes time.
We hustle day and night, building our home
even when the days blur by without a glimpse of one another.

But still—we both know:
we have each other.

You know I’ll always be here, waiting.
We move through crowds, grind through work,
but at the end of the days,
the weeks,
the months—
we always find our way back.

You are my peace,
my soft place to land at the end of every storm.

No matter what comes,
I know you’ll open that door,
wrap your arms around me,
and love me—flaws and all.

And I love you.
I could never erase you.
Our souls are tied,
and no one can undo that.

You are mine.
And I… am all yours.

A cold case love—
a story I keep trying to rewind.
Love letters, rose petals… every trace left behind.

The last tear slips down in quiet pain,
knowing things will never be the same.
I wipe it away, swallowed by shame,
still trying—
always in vain.
You never cared the same.

Did you ruin everything because you didn’t follow the script I had in mind—
or did I ruin it all by forcing you into a role you were never meant to play?
Who’s to blame now that the curtain’s fallen?
Both of us… or neither?

Maybe we were perfect—just not for each other’s stories.
I cast you as the hero,
but you became the villain.

And sure, a villain can be a hero in someone else’s tale…
but I don’t want to watch you play that part.
I’d rather you remain the villain—
in mine.

How do I fill the emptiness in my chest?
It feels like someone tore my heart out—
and it’s been bleeding ever since.
I want to reach out to you,
but there’s no way back.
What now?
Seren Nov 2024
You made me feel like I was left homeless in the winter cold.
At the end of the day, everyone has a place to return to—
a warm light, a waiting soul.
I used to run to you,
just to hold you,
just to let your arms lift the weight off my shoulders.
Now where do I go?
I wander beneath the darkened sky,
no door to knock on,
no arms to fall into.
Just me—
a stray in the pouring rain.
And I’ll never forget
how you made me feel that way.
