I waited for you for as long as I could hold my breath,
And on the verge of death,
I had to let go.
Ignatius Hosiana Jul 2015
Walking away sometimes isn't moving on
Just like sometimes moving on isn't walking away
Breaking up isn't necessarily creating enmity
Though sometimes creating enmity involves breaking up
Desire isn't fire even if sometimes it does burn
Memories seldom totally fade away after it's done
We meet, but every Hello comes holding hands with her goodbye
The road which bound us'll separate us,no matter how hard we try
The package of our birth contains the towel of our death
And as we celebrate so shall we mourn
Every cradle cup has its grave etched on it
And it counts on like a clock, beat by beat
Till we are there, in the great beyond
A place where those who return never visit
Every dawn crawls along to meet her dusk
Like a bride to her groom as a wedding task
Today is here awaiting a conquerer's victory
For every moment shall someday be history
Traditionalists believe the sun matches around the Globe
Scientists say otherwise, they say what moves is the Globe
That's why as you hold my arms and softly kiss my lips
I kiss you hard till down your lips blood drips
So that when this sweet start someday marries its end
When this great fire dies out once we've stopped to fend
We will remember one thing,how passion glowed like Mars
Each time we meet,by just a glance at your scars
But till then, I'll keep hoping ours is as ageless as the sun
And as continuous as the boundless oceans and seas
As treasured as an Ancien king's first born son
Yet as strong as Diamonds, and fascinating like how the Eagle sees
I will keep hoping that even after forever you'll be mine
That ours is an endless poem, one that shall never witness a last line

Floating by
Going through the motions
So little time left
No point in a change now
how much longer 'til my head explodes?
A few days could push my limit
Hollow-out feeling increasing every minute
Never-ending out of body experience
Eating me alive
One bite at a time

I want to say all I feel for you's hate
But that ain't the the real truth
Much as my mind is convinced I do
My heart can't stand telling lies
I want to walk away from my fate
But that thought doesn't soothe
My Soul can't stand goodbyes
I should be camouflaging the pain
Hiding my agonized tears in the rain
Yet It's something I won't
Because I love you, I just can't
Much as I really want to

For in those words that hurt her most,
she found something to help her cope
a glimmer of hope
for the one thing she wants most

When you breathe in, not all the air comes back out.
That is to say that there will always be a little air left in your lungs.
A little pocket of dreams that won't leave until you do,
A small compartment holding every hope ever felt for you.

I like to think that all of our good moments are kept there
Our hopes and dreams for days to come, and
The sunshine and laughter of days gone by.

When we are stuck in that bad place,
It is that breath of hope that keeps us alive
The air that never escaped our lungs on the best days
saves us on our worst.

From the day you were born,
From the moment you took your first breath,
When that small bit of air didn't exit your lungs,
That is when you started holding on to hope.

Keep breathing,
Keep holding on.
Michaela Sep 2014
I wrote your name.
On myself, my walls,
every scrap of paper I could find.
Tenaciously trying not to forget.
I wrote your name, and in it,
every word you said.
Fighting sleep as it called to me.

But when I awoke; it was gone.
I could not remember why
I wrote your name.

Her hands held on to
His fingerprints on
The other side of the glass
Window that divided them

Left her longing for
A moment to grasp
And cherish him and her
And what they never were

And while she watched
His back turn to her
She conquered the familiar
Sense of holding back

And with her fingers she wrote
The words in the dust he left
On the window. She whispered
“Look back and see” I love you

because i believe
                                                        t­hat fate brought us together
       to start something
                                                   beautiful
             something
                                             wonderful
                   something
                                          new

      ­       a painful yet fascinating collision
                                      of
                               me and *you.
i dunno why im still holding on tho i know the fact that "us" can never be a reality.

I've set aside a piece of time to keep until the end
And right before I am no more I'll push it through a pen
But if you don't believe a single word I've ever said
I cannot try to change your mind, I cannot raise the dead

It's not within my power to restore this flesh and bone
And I can only hope that when I leave I'm not alone
I want it to be simple but I want it to be true
The way of letting go of all the ones I ever knew

But in my final seconds as I breathe my very last
I realize my future's an extension of my past
It's just as I remember - nothing new and nothing good
The time that I had kept was only keeping what I could
what you let go of, what you hold on to
