If I linger in our favorite spots,
One day you'll find me.
The longer I stay,
I realize you're not coming.
But what if you show up just as I round the corner?

Betrothed to the Earth,
I have wrapped her in my waters

She has been with me from the beginning,
And together we have filled my waters with life

But I long for the Moon.
She calls to me nightly.

Her shining light ignites me with joy.
On a cloudless night,
We create unmatched beauty
As her reflection dances
On my rippling waters.

As she draws nearer to me,
so do I to her.

These tides are all we have.
The Earth cannot share her Ocean.
Her gravity anchors me down.

But I long for the Moon,
And the Moon longs for me.

My waters swell with tears,
The Moon’s and mine.

You're an hour behind
And I'm an hour ahead
We never could meet at the right time
I'll bust my clock to wait for you tho

I poured out my heart
But your cup was gone
Now I'm left all over the floor
I'm always too late

I'm restless
I'm aching
I want you to text me

I'm texting
I'm pacing
I want you to text me

I'm staring
I'm crying
I want you to text me

I'm shaking
I'm numb
You're not gonna text me
Yet I keep texting you

Did you bleed because you ache for me
Or because I wouldn't let go?
I'd be holding on still if my nails didn't break

His love was,
Soft like the rain on a foggy morning,
Mesmerizing like a summertime sunrise,
Calming like a cool breeze through the autumn trees,
Safe like your favorite blanket after a scary movie,
Warm like holding your favorite mug full of tea in your hands,
And it was mine,
Until it wasn't.
And the absence of it has left a crater I don't know how to fill

Everything's on the surface
Any deeper I start getting nervous
But your voice is so calming,
Your vulnerability enthralling

NO, I can't let you know me
I can't let you see
I can't let you find out
I'm 95% self doubt

My favorite color is green
At times I can be mean
I still watch Disney movies
-why does it feel like you're looking right through me?

And I'll preach I'm an open book
Lay it out, have a look
But the more you flip my pages
And start to see where the rage is-

The book will be snatched
The relationship crashed
You'll wonder why,
You might even cry

It's nothing to mourn
Don't be forlorn
Let's not get disheveled
Baby I'm just surface level
I can't believe you got past chapter two

Is it better to have what you want
Or what you need?
This question bothers me every night
Why can't what I need be what I want,
And why can't I want what I need?

Now that I want you
I don't really need you
I need the air that I breathe
But I didn't want it
Until I had you

So maybe I need you after all
And the mind goes round and round and back and forth
Leyla Siraj Aug 2024
A silent longing, a plea divine,
In love's embrace, I seek my place,
But a flaming ache steals this space,
For in this fire, no warmth is found.

An empty throne, a bad religion,
Amidst the chaos, a wish is born—
Not for riches, nor worldly adorn,
But for a fleeting moment, a tranquil escape,

Not in death's cold clutch, nor sorrow's bind,
But to fade away, like gentle rain,
Dissolving into mist, into nothingness.
Yet as the mist clears, the heart yearns anew,

So I cherish the longing, however long,
For in this yearning, I am reborn.
