It was for the best that we choose to go our separate ways.We tried to save what was left of it but wasn't enough to hold us together.
I still remember the first time we talked.I was acting little bit awkward and yet you listened to everything I had to say with your sunflower smile. I was so excited like a little child.
It isn't anyone fault that what we had didn't workout.I hope when we meet one day that we can laugh about it together.
But I don't want to meet you again. Things you have said have left scars on me. I know I also said some horrible things to you of which I am not very proud of. I am very sorry about it. After everytime we fought my eyes were always filled with tears. But I still love everything and every bit of you. Even though my time with you was not that very long, it was the best time of my life. Thankyou, I am grateful for everything you brought in my life.
Life without you was hard at first but now I am doing ok and smiling. I know you are too even though you aren't, you will be cause you are the strongest person that I know of.
I am happy with the ways things are right now between us. Let's hope we never met again. Even if we happen to saw each other let's do the thing that we always talked about, acting like strangers. It was a hell of a ride with you and worth every penny. Sayonara

all my life i have been bound by the letter c
how fitting since it seems
to be shaped like manacles
ready to clasp around my wrists
around every corner
every turn i took i found her unchallenged in her rivalry  
she chose to haunt me
down to the colour of my eyes
i could not escape her
she was always there, a shadow in the corner
for have you considered
she cowered in every single line
of this poem, reflected within every word

My Adonis,
If you were the morning
I'd be the morning star

If you were the evening
I'd be the evening star
I'd stay above the horizon
Where
the shy sky and the lovelorn land surprisingly snog
The surroundings without fog
I'd become vesper
like a silver
sequin

If you were the scorching sun
I,
Venus would go around you
I'd melt
Or rather
I'd be a stunning sunflower
I'd gaze at you
Yours
Forever
Venus

they always talk,
but can't listen.
it's okay.
i'll listen to your stories,
every detail of them.

when i look at the mirror,
i always think you're pretty.
so don't compare yourself with others
and just focus on us.

you were always so selfless.
but honestly,
among other people,
i love you the most.

i would fight fiercely
yet wait patiently
for you.
so please, accept me.
love yourself.

There’s no post in the box
At the top of the drive.
The sun won’t write us
‘fore the clouds arrive.

Leaves and plastic
Get caught in the rail.
We pull them out
So the gate won’t fail.

But who walks by
Or on bikes roam
Beyond the corner
From where we call home?

We can only hide far away
Behind the bougainvillea’s green,
In our bricks and glass,
In the spaces between.

And still no letter
And yet far better.

dear basil,

please start drawing again
singing again
please start loving again
and living again

please start writing again

<3,
basil
