When I'm in love
I see pink everywhere.
I would scream from rooftops,
tell just about everyone
how he's smart
and nice
and hot.
Every song I hear,
every thought I think
is somehow related to him.
And all my friends are tired
of all my giggles and grins.

When he's in love
he keeps on living
like that girl he talks to
didn't change his point of view.
Doesn't let it show,
even when he feels
the sinking of his heart
when she smiles at him.
And he's hopeless
and helpless
and lost in love.
But in secret, still.

Or maybe he just isn't in love.
Or maybe he just doesn't love...

...me

I'm sorry for bothering you,
Never meant to

I'm sorry for annoying you,
Didn't intend to

I'm sorry for angering you,
Never wanted to

I'm sorry for trying to..
Make you love me too.
Love and Hate needed

Hey you
I sat on open trees
The sun in the sky
The birds in the air

With branches and leaves
Blazing rays hid above the trees
Dared not to hurt me
But I cared none

Hey you
I sat alone
With all those laughters
Nothing but conversations
All around me

The birds flew as they sang
Soft breeze brush the skin
Although it gave me music
Silence was all I cared

I kept waiting for a silent melody
To come by, to fill my world,
but it never did
I guess to you, I'm just a friend
A poem when he reminded me, that it is one-sided
Tasnuva Tabassum Sep 2024
There's a boy whom I adore so much,
Perhaps a little more than I ought to clutch,
Each day, I tumble and descend,
Unrequited love? It's a bitter blend.

Once I derided such tales with ease,
Claiming true love needs mutual pleas,
Yet now, behold my own plight,
Lost in thoughts of a distant light.

There's a boy whom I hold dear,
With dark locks and eyes that peer,
His gaze akin to the night's embrace,
Vast and deep.

But for my own sanity, I must release-
These feelings, they offer no peace,
He may never know or acknowledge,
I must tend to my heart's own carriage.

Not every tale deserves a stage,
Some are best kept in the heart's cage,
So I'll cherish my love silently,
For not all love finds its place in eternity.

And what hurts the most
is that I can't accept
that you're not mine
You're everyone's to keep
but no one's still
Paige Sep 2024
I wanted to glue every part of me to you
And dance with the devil you had become
I wanted to feed off the pain in your eyes
As you cried rivers of bloom
I wanted to be your spring
An everlasting flower loitered with thorns
I wanted to feel the beat in your chest
And match it's rhythm to mine
I wanted to be yours in every form of the word
I wanted to paint onto the blankness of your canvas
And ruin the innocence dancing on your tongue
I wanted to burn the engravings of my name on the nape of your neck
I wanted to kiss at the scars I made
I wanted to caress the coral on your cheeks
And watch your smile fade into pleasure
I wanted you to want every burden bruising your shoulders
I wanted you to fade into the distant thoughts of others
Yet vividly lust at the thought of being mine
I wanted you to be mine
I wanted you to cradle at my yearning
And feel all that I feel for you
I wanted you
I wanted to graze my teeth on the layers of your skin
And read between the creases of you eyes
I wanted to learn every twitch of your thumb
And trace it's skin on my lips
I wanted to drown in your abyss
I wanted every single piece hidden within the creases of your eye
As your face creased with a smile
I wanted you to be mine , feel like mine , dream like mine , word like mine , walk like mine but with that unjustly sinking feeling I drown in the realisation that you could never be mine
Louise Sep 2024
We would exchange contents of our souls,
open up my hips like you would a hole,
where you'll pour your sadness into;
and cover all over my grief,
like I'd spill my anxiety,
then glaze over your anguish.
So, we'll never have ***, I think.
We would rip each other's skin like ribs,
tear through our necks,
leave them red with bites and nibs;
or maybe it’ll be a slow night and we’ll read,
and maybe you’ll tell me I am who you need.
So we’ll never have ***, I believe.
I would tell you how sometimes slow hurts,
and sometimes,
it’s the absence of fire that burns.
I would tell you how it doesn’t make sense,
and sometimes,
what makes it present is the absence itself.
So we’ll never have ***, I bet.
Maybe you could tell me about these instead;
how you don’t know when it happened.
or if you could, tell me at what moment?
Maybe tell me that I'm always in your head;
or wishing I'm giving you one instead.
And that you don’t know how it started.
But it’s starting now isn’t?
It’s brewing now at this very moment,
or even way before.
Come closer, tell me how
you’ve been waiting for this very moment.
Whisper how you want more.
Come to me, my wave, I am your shore.
Tell me in any language you want; there's not a single one I wouldn't understand.

So nicely
love like
a knife slit
siphons the life from me.

Just the price to be
unrequited,
like a vice grip tightness
strife will seize.

Lightning strike
ignites memories,
fighting
horizon's eve.

Island retreat,
my plight
in crisis
I flee.

I keep saying I carried
Us alone for a year,
In the face of
Abhorrence - derision and rage,
In truth some of each with
Much good reason,

I keep saying,
As you did,
That my love is not enough,
Keep saying that now
It's your time to shine and that Indeed now you must,

And yet even as you
Reach out in a way
I am supposed to honour,
Your tone is dipped
In censure and rebuke,
Accusation and deep ire,

What you seem not
To understand is you
Are in fact,
For all your vaunted effort,
Merely nailing our coffin lid,
Firmly,

Shut.
There is a frustration within this poem I scarce can name
