I gave you the shirt off my back,
You were upset to only be half dressed

I gave you my pants,
You didn't like me naked

But hey, at least you were dressed.
I guess I'll start digging through my dresser
I’ve run out of things to say to you
I who love how language feels
Cannot see your thoughts to know,
How to ask what you conceal.

Perfection is fine to a point,
An everlasting urge
but I’d never breathe again,
If I did not share our eternal love.

The exquisite princess of maiden joy
Can sacrifice her honor and her name,
By giving of her sullen self
from within her hidden carnal dream.

Understand the silent plan
The never spoken thought.
Reflect on days never lived,
Answers never given, never sought.

Receive please what you are due.
Believe at least that I love you.
How about those one sided relationships?  Dense me stuck around too long a time or two. Before eventually moving on. Here’s to that romantic who takes forever to come to grips with their fate

When I first saw you, it just felt like usual.
Over the days—studying, growing—
I felt an imaginary warmth in your eyes.

How beautiful the time is...
Without talks, laughs, or gossips,
I had a whole confession shaped in my mind.

Over time, you're still stuck in my eyes,
With the fear: what if a day arrives
When I lose you—officially?

Was it my soul playing,
Or was it just our hearts whispering?
I'm still waiting... to open up completely.

But tangled questions still scare me...
Was it just me, living in a world of imaginary?
I've never felt this way before.
I just hope it won’t break me completely.

I don’t know if you’ll ever know this, but—
Across the universe,
You’re the star I aim to reach.
Not by forcing, hurting, or crying,
But by walking the path of loving.

And even if the universe doesn’t choose me
To be with you someday...
I will still love you—
Being an imaginary root, always
Just a small piece of mine, which helped me to be more happy in my life...

May my eyes never recognize you if I ever see you again,
Cause if I do, the glass barrier I scrapped up might break down in your presence..
May my heart forget the pain of loving in vain,
Cause no more scars can decor my soul..
May the whispers of your name be forgotten one by one,
Cause each time I hear it, a surge of pain rises in my chest as if to remind that I would never move on... Not from you..
May the memories of the old days be erased,
Cause as they dive deep, the untidy wounds hidden beneath gets exposed leaving me vulnerable once again..
I never prayed to God, but now I pray, May your words fade away and your absence wither away,
Cause I'm fragile and I can't take it anymore.

In silent depths, my heart beats for you,
A love so strong, yet unspoken, true.
Every thought, a whispered promise made,
To give you happiness, in every shade.
When we first met, my soul took flight,
In that instant, you became my light.
Responsibilities and goals faded away,
As my heart surrendered, without a say.
You're my first priority, my guiding star,
The one I yearn to be with, near and far.
I dream of marriage, of love that's real,
Of giving you joy, and making your heart feel.
But alas, you don't see the love I hold,
The devotion that makes my heart unfold.
I know I'm not perfect, flawed and weak,
But my love for you is pure, unique.
Like Laila and Majnu, my love's a flame,
Burning bright, though often in pain.
A strong man, yet your indifference makes me fear,
Leaves me scared, and my heart does tear.
In your eyes, I see a distant shore,
A love that's not returned, I'm searching for more.
Still, I'll hold on to the love I feel,
And hope that someday, you'll see it's real.

The first thoughts of my days
and the last thoughts of my nights
has left me alone in the void
to do nothing but wander here and there;

Tell me, how do I move on
when my heart
has found its home?

Your eyes made me feel proud
and I could find them in any crowd,
but how stupid of me to think
that I was the only flower in your garden.

I've lost a part of my heart
that was never really mine
and now it hurts so much
as if I have lost a real part.

Although if I let you go away,
I will still find the missing pieces
of you in others because
I can never let you go.

You are still stuck over a soul,
and there's nothing I can do more
but all I am asking for is a chance,
and of course, I'll wait even when the train doesn't arrive.

I follow your trail wherever you go
I chase your reflection from years ago
I remember all tricks you tought me once
Sit, paw, play dead, dance

You raised a stray pup on your own chest
Allowed in your home, allowed me to rest
I bared my teeth when you asked me to
I'd smooth fur on my neck if told so too

But you could never love such broken pup
For all of your care, I've never cought up
With what you hoped for me to achieve
My rotten heart forever will grieve

My canine mind still searches you
The words you've spoken are to me true
You are my faith, what I trusted whole
Yet you left with all the memories you stole

I howl at night when I loose the trail
A familiar feeling to be tossed while frail
I wonder if you could ever love a stray
I wonder if there's something that would make you stay

I sink my teeth in the scut of mine
All that chase is a waste of time
A mongrel could never be a reason to stay
I'm sorry it's my fault for going astray

I miss you more than I let show, in quiet nights and song,
But reaching out feels one-sided, like I’m always wrong.
You’ve got my number, know my door—still silence fills the air,
And though I ache, I won’t chase love that won’t meet halfway there.

It’s strange how I can miss you so, yet you don’t seem to flinch,
While every memory pulls me back, you haven’t moved an inch.
I won’t forget, but I’ll stand still—my heart deserves that too,
Because missing me, just like I do, was always up to you.
Just yesterday, our silence wasn't vain —
Within that hush, the final heartbeat stirred.
Your hand was warm, but not in mine it stayed,
And in your eyes — farewell without a word.

Your voice grew still, like tea grown cold with time,
No longer did you seek the spring in me.
All I could do — watch fate redraw the line,
Where you’re without me... and I’ve lost my sleep.

That light you hold now shines for someone new,
No longer am I chasing distant smiles.
All I have left — the waves of longing through
Each haunting thought... and silence stretching miles.

You're gone — and I remain between the lines,
Where hearts still whisper all we left unspoken.
And in the quiet, memories entwine —
We’re still together… though long since broken.

That glow now lands on shores that aren’t mine,
I’m not the coast you dream of through the night.
What’s left for me — a silence undefined,
And memories of you fade out of sight.

Love isn’t always cries or final falls —
It leaves us gently, while we still seem whole.
And so we stayed in silence through it all,
Too weak, too hurt to let goodbye be told.

when i said i wanted you i never meant a relationship
it was just stationary
we’d be better off with just a friendship
but my friends are all imaginary
sometimes i see you here with me
but it’s only a hallucination
one day you’ll come back, maybe..
