you are waiting for things
that have already been
designated to a new owner

he told me he can mend my pain
just like how the others told the same
he asked me to point to where it hurts most
i took his hand & placed it on my heart

i was never once alone
because your absence
spoke so loudly to me

i think we spend most of our lives
continuously wishing for things
that we all know will not come true

we spend our entire lives searching
for that one thing we cannot live without
only to realize we cannot achieve it
& eventually we struck gold
but with something more times as great

if only we were not so stubborn
& knew what was in stored for us
much earlier before we adventured
for that one thing we thought
we could not live without

i see the truth & ignore it every time
making up excuses for avoidance
so i can just feel alright & fantasize more

poetry is the worst addiction
after a while you notice
you are immune to it
& your writings
portray no emotions to yourself
but the world is still moved
