He was an enigma machine,
he guarded his secrets with military precision,

She was an open book,
one that no one ever finishes,

They were tragic,
one said nothing, while the other said to much,

One stood tall and ramrod straight,
the other depended on a broken crutch,

Both were destitute,
One was loud, the other was mute,

He suffered in reticence,
she was filled with penitence,

They both left the world of their own accord,
They chose to fall upon their own swords,

They were heartbreaking until the very end.

It wasn't your beauty that gave my  heart tinkles
It was love at first sight
Right now I feel I rushed
Maybe it was lust or an infatuation that made me choose you over the others
That made me opt for green instead of blue
Your arms clothed me with warmth and now all they do is make me catch a cold
Love can be so sweet in the beginning before you know it's  bait dragging you to your own grave
I've walked through paths full of thorns and never bled
Got shot many times and never died
I guess its time to define reality
I don't love you anymore for you have turned every smile into a tear and made me sad when I needed a cheer
Its time to turn off the  radio
I don't wanna hear your favorite song ever again
For the pain you caused me burns inside of me like hell
And everything that reminds me of you is as bad as sin

Maybe it was to much for you
Maybe so many poems I’ve written about you
Make you feel pressured

I knew this was going to happen
That’s why I wrote this a few months before our break up
I could feel how your eyes slowly stopped looking for mine

I only felt useful when you were sad and lonely
And you leaned to cry in my arms
like a little child

so I let everything flow
and let you choose the day that everything was going to end
stand to feel half loved just to be a while longer with you
And you didn’t even notice
I try not to start meaningless discussions to not get away from you even more
I became everything I promised not to be since the last time someone broke my heart
and that it's a lot

Who is this being inside of me?
Why is she trying to break my true self?
Why is this unwelcome being trying to pull me from reality?
My perception hasn't been very clear these days.
The dark forces that live in my head have taken over my heart and thoughts... for now.

Seeing you is painful. This dark force wants me to forget all the good in you. I love you, but I cannot stand to love a person if my thoughts aren't clear. I cannot stand the feeling of loving someone who's over one million miles away.

The girl was in love with the moon. She would do anything to be with it. But every time she tries to catch it, it moves away.
The moon is close yet so far away. She chases the moon every night in hopes that she will one day have it, hold it, and protect it. No matter how hard she tried to reach it, the moon would get farther and farther away. With you, I don't see a difference.

I thought I had been so obvious from the start. Maybe you're just too blind to see that something good is right in front of you.
This is a waste of time. You are soon going to become
my waste of time. Why chase after something/someone if they don't make the same effort that you do? With or without glasses, you have a hard time seeing the big picture. You're blind to seeing good when it's staring you right in the face.

Seeing your face makes the knife in my heart moving ever so swiftly, making it hard to breathe. Your being is the very definition of betrayal... at least, that's what she wants me to believe.
The way you walk past me, through me like a ghost as if nothing were wrong. You're not innocent, you should be punnished for all the lies. Why should I ever believe you?
I know you're the right one. But does she know that?

Actions speak louder than words. I am a girl with the gift of writing. I am good with it all on my own. I don't need you to write me short answer responses, when I give you books. I give you books and plays. You give me short answer responses as if I'm a useless quiz you'll never see or need to know after it is done.
Is that truly the case? Or is there more? If so, why hide it?
Why hide all these 'secrets' away from someone who would keep them safe and secure?

It all started with a simple "Hi"
And ends with a simple "Bye"
I'm still on the process of accepting why
You left me hanging with a clueless mind
I just can't forget how sweet you are to me
While the fact that it was just a lie stating that you also loved me
I thought we can be a lover someday
Owning you as my property was just a dream to portray
Goodbye that's all I can say
To my lover that turns into a real quick stranger

Every night i count the stars
Sitting on the grass,
Looking from a far.
Every night I wish
To capture all the stars
To juggle them in my hands
And put them in a jar.
But i believe.
If i do that...
The sky will be losing its light
The sky will be blank every night.
Every time i think of it
It feels not right
To be selfish and greedy
For taking all the starlight
But your smile keeps on barging in my mind
The memory of you being happy
While watching the stars dance in the sky
Suddenly i feel loneliness
Knowing i will no longer see your smile
"Please give the stars to me"
That's what you said
Before you
Die
