Darling,
You’re drinking away,

all that’s left of you.

You’re smoking away,

every youth of your life.

Won’t you please stop?

Oh, if only you could see
what’s 
under those weight you carry with you;
Is a beautiful, young and strong lady.

A tender, loving and careful soul.

You are,
A lady destined for greater things.
Just sadly born into a life,
With everything to lose.

oh, What a shame.

Forgive me,
for all the poems
that I had not finish.

For those poems
you insisted to see,
were still fresh
and could not wait to be delivered
to you.

nothing wrecks a happy home more than an addiction.

a whirlwind of a house.
built on precarious cement.
yet, turning to corners to find
the walls nearly caving in.

this confusion,
a mind of maddening thoughts.
consumed in a vacuum of complexity.

locks of uncombed hair,
only adding to the weight etched on self.

nothing wrecks a happy home more than an addiction.

I desire for someone to love me with enduring patience, to understand me and root for me through the good times and bad times. Someone to love me for who i am despite my flaws and my imperfections.

I also want to love someone whole heartedly and earnestly. To sit down on the floor in the living room at 2am and pour out our raw emotions; talking about about our favourite tv shows and dreams that we have yet to complete. Or our darkest fears and secrets. You could hurl all your rants and troubles at me and i’d still listen to them and reassure you’ll never feel alone for as long as I’m alive. I want to figure out your little insecurities and your fears. Let me learn them and fend you from them. We’ll watch all our favourite movies and tv shows while we have little cuddles and eat on the bed because no one is there to yell at us to not leave crumbs. Let me trace the beautiful networks of constellations down your skin and spine to admire the universe in you; the galaxy I wish to explore and the infinite amount of love I wish to give. Despite the flaws you think you may have, I’ll still love you regardless of what they are. I’ll sing you your favourite songs, plant you kisses and I’ll fall in love harder with you everyday.

I need you to know that you I may have never been the best with showing my love or with words but I promise and reassure you that I’ll love you unconditionally.

Let me,
Be the waves;

The tides that will wash your troubled thoughts.

And with every crash of waves
being your happiness and joy,
Your ripples of bliss.

Pushing away crumpled parts,
Cradling your body
in warm currents.

Let me,
Be the waves.

Guiding you effortlessly
Out into the everlasting blue.

The waves, that orchestrates your heart.

I would like you to know and remember that whenever the day or night gets too long or too short, or that the minutes get stretched and pulled tight between us, wherever and whatever we do, we'll always leave a trail behind us for everyone to see. We'll burn just like the clouds into the blue sky for the world to marvel at the sight that we have made. The luminous stars that appears after evening folds would be my love that glistens for you. I will love you until every star and every planet in the entire universe has been burned out, and even then, I will still love you even in the darkness.
to whoever I'll love x

— The End —
