Six feet underneath
I know you can’t even see me

When I was there
I would sit and stare

You once asked
Why do I keep looking like that

Little do you know
I am longing for a show

When I am dead
And my eyes are shut instead

I’ld still be able to see you in my grave
Because I am saving this picture’s trace

So even when I am gone
I’ld have you with me forever

So even when the world will forget about me
I’ld still remember you

So even when I won’t be breathing
My eyes would still see
See you there with me

My dreams are haunted by idyllic promises—
Who is my ghost with the siren voice?
The moon knows; I too, cannot shine alone—
Who is this light reflecting on my soul?
My heart yearns for a movie-like story—
Who is my co-star when the credits end?
Is my heart truly stuck on waiting—
or did It already choose someone unattainable?
inspired by the song Who by Jimin
Love Me, Love Me Not
I think it is unkind for me to be in love
and be in love still
I think it is unkind for me to love you
Like every other petal of a flower

I did not pick it
But it is wilting either way.

Sharp and seductive your words linger in my brian
Soft kisses, a wandering tongue, twinging bites
Your teeth on my skin and your hands on my waist
The pull of your sweet subtle venom compels me
I am yours to take piece by piece under your spell
Forever isn’t needed I merely want you in the present
Sanguine intoxication by the fantasy of what could be
Should forever take us both idyllically holding one another
Staring into locked eyes the glint of possibly beckons
Reality states I am merely another fledgling
Admirer bowing at your feet daring to stand up
I am a mirror and so are you, reflecting echos
Of what each of us thinks the other missed
Feedback Welcome!

Thanks, Bess for the inspo!

like a waterfall gently trickling down
or a willow tree gently swaying in the wind
like the wind blowing through his hair
or the whites of his eyes
i was there
needing willingness
I loved you in a way you’ll never know,
a silent tide, a hidden glow.
A candle flickering in the rain,
burning bright despite the pain.

Your name lived softly on my tongue,
a melody I left unsung.
My hands reached out, but not too far,
too scared to grasp a falling star.

And so, I watched, and so, I stayed,
a love unspoken, left to fade.
Not by you, but by the hour
that let me bloom, but not in flower.
4. Unfulfilled Love
Saman Badam Feb 16
The day my eyes had kissed her, cast a spell,
Through eyes so blue, and deep, in silence bright,
She pulled me deep where endless oceans swell,
And snared my heart in ringlets spun from light.

Her mocha tan like silk on eastern breeze,
Her hair like satin husks of corn aglow,
Her voice, a symphony and song from seas,
Her ears like cockles pulled from beach below.

The way she whisks a child to gentle smiles.
She waltzes light with grace of woodland elves.
Like seaside breeze, she ran that quarter mile.
In ebb and flow, she makes me forget 'self.

We never spoke, and maybe never shall,
She lingers inside me like heartbeat call.

Losing someone you never even dated is a different kind of Heartbreak.
You pour your emotions,
Your quiet hopes, into a connection that never fully existed outside of your Mind.

Every Smile,
Every Glance, becomes something you overanalyze.
Searching for a sign, a spark.
Something that might prove she felt it too.
But most days, it's like standing in the shadows.
Watching her move through life without ever really seeing you.

Stuck in this in-between,
Too much for just friends,
Somehow not enough for anything more.
And that Stings.
Wondering if she ever saw what you felt.
If she ever noticed your quiet affection or your subtle longing.

Unrequited love doesn't fade,
It buries itself deep, waiting in some quiet corner of your heart.
Still Aching.
And sometimes we wait too long for the love we deserved all along.
Forgetting that our worth is never tied to someone else recognition of it.

But you can never forget the weight of love unspoken,
A story that never began yet still feels irrepairably broken.
