the kitchen is a mess darling
and right now so am i
unfurled by your words
like a spool of yarn
pulled from the center
you pull me in closer
your eyes glisten
like the glasses on the table
empty now, lipstick on one edge
as you pull me to the counters edge
your hushed whispers like rain
falling on the roof in a summer storm
gentle, provoking me toward magic
your breath lingers on my lips
like wine and saffron
your touch warm
like a shot of bourbon
pull me in closer
closer still
one of these messes
will just have to wait

The language of poetry
is so much more romantic
Let's talk to each other this way
Let's forget the world
and pretend that all that matters
is that we forever stay.

You must be proud of me
Proud that I have moved on
Proud that I have taken a step
Admiring the progress I made
Silently happy for me

But I am not proud at all
I am not proud of this progress
I am not proud of these scars
You gave me shameful wounds
That my heart has to bear

You were my pride and joy
You were my future and hope
A partner, a lover, a friend
Now look where that got me
A broken heart for all to see

Retelling the stories of us
Brings great shame to me
Making me look like a fool
Why would I be proud of
The hardships you put on me

You are not proud of me
Surviving the heartbreak
Or how I carry myself with pain
You are proud of the scars
That still carries your name

I still whisper
"Goodnight"
I still whisper
"Happy Birthday"
I still whisper
"I love you"
I still whisper
"I miss you"
Because a whisper
Is all I have left of us

The alarm poisons my ears
the cold shower tortures my body
the coffee burns my tongue
the newspaper shatters my mind
my boss steals my crown
my co-workers play blind

My keys plays an awful jingle
as I try unlocking the woody door
door swings open, my jaw meets the floor

Your eyes greet mine
everything's fine
I hug you tight
over your shoulder, my dull room
looks all the more bright

Be it the sidewalk of New York
Penthouse of Rome
only you my dear make me feel
like I'm coming home
An ordinary human, in the crowd you stand,
Yet, in my eyes, you found a special blend.
Small, you were to the world outside,
Yet, in my heart, you became my pride.

Someone usual, in the ordinary sea,
But to me, you shone uniquely.
I painted you with colours of beauty,
Yet you treated me with cruelty.

In this vast planet, among numerous faces,
I made you my world, in multiple spaces.
You were the center of my universe,
In a world where dreams and reality shatters.

Yet at a right time, you revealed the truth,
That I am just a whisper on this earth.
For all the importance I gave,
Yet in your eyes, I remain a short wave.

The river of my love has drained,
The flower of my heart has withered,
The colours of my emotions has faded
The shine in my life has completely evaded…

You have put me in a situation,
Which caused a lot of commotion,
A place that I cannot stay nor return,
Fallen into the depths, now that I mourn…

Even the blessing of gods seems less,
Compared to your love which I will miss.
My tears quenches the thirst of my heart,
Which is holding me, so I don't fall apart…

You are my precious,
A rare gem in this land,
Your brilliance shines,
Beyond the reach of my hands.

You are my melody, sweet,
A haunting tune I can't forget.
Your thoughts remain as a plight,
In every corner of my regret.

You are my dream in trances,
A vision I chase in the night,
Your memory forever dances,
In the shine of my eyesight.

You are my comfort in distress,
A shelter in life's stormy sea,
As your gentle whispers,
Guide me to where I want to be.

A treasure beyond compare,
Forever I will cherish,
In the depths of my love and care,
You are my precious.

I lost you the day I broke your heart,
And now I am not your love’s part.
I said things I shouldn’t have,
Trust me that is not how I usually behave.

When you pierced me with your words,
I was getting lost as it was like bombards.
I am the whole world for you,
Even when you had a family and friends, few.

When I broke your trust,
Punishment for me is a must.
I cannot change what happened in the past,
Forever will love you for my whole life, left.

I am who I am, of you,
As you changed me, scrap to new.
Don’t let me to live with regret,
Forever you own my heart.

Beautiful girl
Know my heart is always yours
You’re who i think about in the mornings and nights
It’s you that i adore.
