Biser 4d
Let our hairs tangle, let our souls collide.
I don't ever want to lose you – not even on the other side.
Let our fingers merge, let our heartbeats align.
You're always on my mind, every second, every time.

And the thought of you with someone new
Makes me sick, deep down to the bone.
I'll never forget the scent of you,
I don't ever want to feel alone.

I'm learning, I'm trying -
'Cause I want it to be you.
I hide my sadness through laughter and lying,
But my love for you is honest and true.

I am fine, I am fine,
Though I get sad all the time.
Laughing and crying in the rain,
Hiding every piece of pain.

I am fine, I am good,
I love every piece of you.
You’ll never be misunderstood -
I just wish you saw my view.

I am fine, I am fine,
I really am, this time.
And it's all because you're near,
Standing by me, crystal clear.

Like a stone inside my shoe,
Memories always haunt me.
No matter what path I pursue,
The past walks close behind me.

I am fine - or maybe not,
Still trying to figure that out.
Talking feelings ties my throat in a knot,
So tight I can’t even shout.

Maybe I'm not so fine,
But at least you're in my arms.
You make the whole world shine,
Help me forget those self-harms.

But I’m fine. I know I’ll be.
I forget this world is sick -
It hides and hurts so carefully,
Like a shadow, like a trick.

I’ll never leave your side,
Even when it all gets rough.
Please be my guide -
Through life, through love, through all that’s tough.
They don’t hold your heart like I do.
They can’t.
They’re just standing in my grave.
You know you’re forever mine, right?
If you had died-
because of what I said,
what I didn’t say,
what I became
when you needed softness and I turned to steel-
I swear
I wouldn’t be writing this.
I’d be gone too….

Not out of love.
Out of guilt.
The kind that climbs your spine
like a noose learning your name.

I replay it every second-
your silence,
the hours you vanished into,
the stillness I didn’t recognize
until I imagined you cold.

My hands,
these stupid hands,
could’ve held you.
But they threw the match instead.

I dream of your name
stitched into hospital linen,
and it guts me.
Because if you had slipped away-
for real-
I’d be carving apologies into my skin
just to feel the pain
you almost drowned in.

I’d rather bleed than breathe
if it meant you’d never felt that alone.

But you stayed.
God, you stayed.
And now I’m here
with this monster in my mouth
named regret,
and a thousand I’m sorrys
that don’t resurrect a single thing.

If you ever leave again,
don’t let it be like that.
Don’t let me be the reason
your story almost ended.

How can I ever live with myself?
I can not.
my biggest mistake.
I didn’t mean to cut so deep-
but the words came sharp,
and your silence bled.

Now I carry the guilt
like a dagger under the tongue,
metal-tasting,
too holy to throw away,
too cruel to forget.

If I could sew you whole
with my hands,
I would.

i slept in the arms of cities
with no names,
listened to taxis like lullabies
while the moon
pushed its hips against my window.

I'm glad that fate brought us together, even if it was very brief.
The time we shared the memories we made, hopefully wont turn to grief.

Do not be sad for me, for what could have been for without it we would forever wonder what if.

The looks you gave me, your head on my chest.
Sweet loves embrace.
My hand running through your hair, you were my rest.

Desperately trying to hold on to what little time is left.
The pain sometimes, I feel in my chest.

The laughs we shared, the tears we bared, I regret nothing. If I could go back in time,  the only thing I would change is that I would have found you sooner.
What are you supposed to say
when you run out of words
Teary eyes to the sky
Only silence to be heard

What am I supposed to say
When words don't even come close
To the mountain highs and weary skies
When I'm left without a single verse

What am I supposed to do
When my brain becomes an empty room
When my heart plays out it's final chord
Not even my soul speaks my truth

like a frog springs atop  a lily pad,
her enthusiastic essence was as scad.
like an infant sprawls into a deep sleep,
her appearance was an embodiment of babysheep.

like a coordinated kitchen fork blends with the spoon
we both accumulated as the exquisite winter's moon.

on a decadent day,when we will reunite,
she would still guffaw at my scrappy jokes
the void will transform into light
when your gaiety will crash the plight.
look what you have left on me –
a bouquet of stitches,
still-healing scars,
fine lines I can’t conceal
etched across my heart.

and what of your voice haunting me?
I hope to God it disappears.
someday, I won’t even remember,
that all of this was ever real.
