All she wanted was the embrace
Of an affectionate other
Anybody that was willing for the chase
To never again suffer
She waited for the day
When the sunset filled the background
Just for somebody to stay
That special heart pound
She died with a letter
Addressed to her lover
Who thought she deserved better
So he didn't bother
You are enough!

Heavy may be the head that wears the crown
but heavier is the heart which carries the burden of loving
unconditionally
The heart which always pumps more than it receives
bleeds faster than it heals
each pump shared with another
But another's heart is a one-way valve
After being broken so many times,
The pieces to the puzzle no longer fit where they are meant to
Still, each piece pumps little by little
To help the whole
Sharing my heart with another is dangerous
For the last one with such trust
Had me acting like a souvenir, a bust
So I share my duck-taped heart
And hope your words don't cut the tape
A heart's only supposed to have 4 parts
but mine was broken into millions
Glued each back together
with different parts in the wrong places
All so you couldn't break it the same way...
My first post on the site! Very excited to see what you all think :)

inescapable
loveless years pile on top of
each other like cars,
windowless  
in a derelict lot.

without giving in
to easy despair, he moves
through them as empty
as the wind
blowing through formless sky.

You
Death is like you,
silent, cold, and
doesn’t love me back

If you are death
then I long to be dead
N Mar 2020
Despair drips
from my lips,
don't kiss me

My sorrowful soul
awaits death’s kiss,
don’t miss me

I'm tired of writing about love,
So this poem is different,
Instead I'll write something new.

I won't write about it.

About how I miss you,
The feeling bubbling up inside me,
And spilling out in the form of nostalgia.

About how I felt when you said those three words,
My emotions clawed at each other,
Trying to jump in and play,
Yet trying to hold themselves back.

About your promise to see me again,
And how suddenly my mind was in the clouds,
Wishing we were there together.

No, I won't write about it,

I'll write about something new,
After wanting to write about you.

She was named after love,
and letters were exchanged
between lovers in her name

Poets found their muse
when she visited their hearts
and I was one of them

But my love never
reached her heart
like hers did mine

And so she left,
when my stubborn heart was
aching to be laced with hers

She left,
and my eyes were searching,
yearning for her

Dear Heyam,
I swear on love letters
and you
For it is the last poem
I write about you
The name Heyam -هيام- means ardent love in Arabic, that was my lover’s name. She’s the ex I’m always writing about, and I pray to Aphrodite that this is the last poem I write for her.

is it a tender embrace
or more like a blazing storm?
The feeling everyone craves,
including myself,
called "love".

in many stories and myths it seems
to be the one and only impression
one would describe as a pleasent dream,
so fierce and full of undisclosed passion.

but I am certain, quiet eager even
that I won't gather any experience
because "love" these days means treason,
lust, greed and above all

self-indulgent obedience.

I would rather idealize it forever,
to remain an ignorant and loveless bystander.

o, this vain trepidation,
the fear that though it is you
who demands sincerity,
you're still treading
on both grounds

and i wound up lying on the floor
beaten and battered. and you're
the one dealing the final blow.
Uncertainty is the theme here.
