Do you see that old man
filthy and wrinkled on the street
he's a statue where the feet often steps
and yet his soul never did leave

Do you see that young lady
Pained and teared in her heart
sitting by the lonely bench
her eyes teary, staring at the sun

Have you seen that small child
cold and starved by his fate
drinking water despite its filthiness
smiling despite the cruelty of the world

How many unspoken words are there
roaming around in the thin air
knowing how large the world is
Yet the love is so small, so rare

Knowing how heartless people can be
knowing that their beloved ones left
and yet they wore shades of smile
With their unspoken words behind everything else
"We can do no great things, just small things with great love." -Mother Teresa
the instant our eyes met,
i felt an unspoken understanding.
my heart ever so silently,
made a promise never to leave you.
i'm withering by the second,
every moment without you by me.
only reason my heart beats,
is to keep up to the rhythm of yours.
please don't leave or say no,
your existence in my life is my elixir.
it's you that keeps me alive,
for you are the last breath within me.

I admire you a lot
For just being who you are
It makes me forget you not
You gave me a smile on fire

I miss you when you are far
My eyes long to meet your beautiful eyes
You set something in me like war
O, why do I feel this when time flies

When you're too close to me
It bothers me as well
Because when you talk so gently
I'm afraid I might deeply fell

Maybe we're better this way
Words unspoken, feelings unsaid
I know it's something we both pray
That may our hearts still be guarded

I want to say many things to you
Something I don't want to just keep inside
You have no idea how it makes me blue
When I'd rather keep silent and hide

I don't want to awaken things not on its time
I'd rather keep it to myself and sacrifice
Right now maybe it doesn't rhyme
But it's for the future's great surprise

Somehow it breaks my heart
The thought that I'd meet you in a while
On the corridor not too apart
And all I can do is just smile

To me, you are very dear
Maybe it's best to save the friendship
Rather than temporarily happy yet in fear
I don't want us to be in hardship

So maybe I would just keep this mine
And I guess I'd rather not tell at all
In time it will be fine
And I'd be thankful for this achy fall

It's not really goodbye
Rather, "Take care of yourself always"
I hope this will make us comfortably say hi
Whenever we cross ways

Maybe we'll meet again soon enough
And maybe the time is right
Maybe we'll be ready and our hearts are tough
Enough to push through something our hearts long to fight

The silent voices
The hidden feelings
The unspoken words
The untold stories
You and I have none of them
The swollen eyes
The broken hearts
The dead souls
The fake love
You and I without all of them
The heaven full of angels
The hell full of devils
You and I between both of them
Where you're all alone as the sun is
And I'm all alone as the moon is
The distance between us
Just tries to separate you from me
As the instigators want
They don't even know that we're made for each other
As blood made for veins
Veins made for the heart
Heart made for you and you made for me
I know the world won't let us to be one
Even though the storm is also against us
But the angels in heaven will be along with us
Stay close to me forever
As close as raindrops to clouds
As close as moon to night
As close as the secrets to heartbeats
Stay that close to me
You and I will be drowning in each other's eyes
As deep as our souls have fellen for each other
In this winter night,
The sky full of bright stars,
The cold winds,
You and I will be losing our minds
Under the full moon of grace

Shattered hope, how will I cope,
Is there any light at the end of this *****?

Dealing with my problems,
More like balancing on soup,
While ******* with a thick rope,
Can't help but wobble,
In every corner there's trouble,
One ends and then it's double,
How is that even possible?

Can't escape, permanently ****,
In a world where there's zero luck,
Where, at everything, I ****,
My thoughts, ideas, always receiving a mock,
Never failed to be a laughing stock,
Sometimes I wonder if I'm just leftovers,
Forgotten even in a garbage truck,
Lost count of the times I got struck,
By words that are better left unsaid,
That ache more than a throw of a rock,
Maybe I should cage my inner self with a lock,
Enclose my self from everything and not even look,
At my present or future, both hold nothing good in stock,
Wishing time was a motionless clock,
Wanna fade away in a flock,
In a void where there's no hate, no pain, nothing hurtful to block.

A stabled heart, pain free,
Not that easy to maintain,
Lost ambitions and self esteem,
Not that easy to regain,

Bottled up, intense emotions,
Hold long will I refrain?
Criticism in different shapes 'n' colors,
How long will I contain?

Tell me, how can I not go insane?
When hurt is all that remains,
Tell me, how can I not be vain?
Can't take in any more pain,

Lost happiness, lost joy,
Nothing more left to destroy,
Lost count of the times I lost myself,
What else is there to drain?

Why such a twain will unite as one?
When the words that describe haven't yet to come
Why does a bird will flap its wings?
When it cannot grow neither feather nor string?

A twain is a pair both had chosen
What love can i give when in fact i was forsaken?
Birds only fly with wings on
Stars only shine on the absence of the moon..                                        

Hence i was confounded by such fickle mind
Heed from my eyes to teach me not to be blind
A love that is unspoken is like a page without a word..
How can you bind each heart without a cord?
Jordan Jan 2015
Are you scared to tell me you have beyond more than lust for me?
The words try to slip the seal of your lips.
Your eyes are worth a thousands words. Left unspoken.
But I read you clear.
While you look at me confused.
You'd rather tell me.
I just want to show you
That silence can speak for itself .
Night came dark and dreary
at the closing of the curtains.
Darkness splintered with the
light of a million stars and a
fractured moon, gave little
comfort, as a silence heavy as
lead; spread throughout the room.
Your smile, steady as a bird in
flight, hid what your eyes were
trying to tell me.
Afraid to ask , i turn to sleep.

He picked her up
again
and again
but she couldn't
learn to stand.

She broke his heart
ripped whole through
but it wasn't in her plan
to see him bleeding blue

and the boy would say to her

Just glow.                                  
All these bright lights?    
they're too much for you          
they truly don't suit    
and all I need                    
is your warmth come nighttime
where only I can see you shimmer        
your calming, calling glimmer
is only hidden in the daylight
light is not worth less
because the shine is dimmer

what matters is location                
if the dark is coloured pitch      
you'll light bright the whole nation
              

Alas
His words fell weak
on empty ears
because he was like sun,
and she had closed her eyes
to such powerful beams
she couldn't seem
to find the hand
that promised to be her one


and this girl
was shrouded in a half-truth

Monsters sidle up
with faces drawn as heroes
with words whispered as saviors

with teeth
and angry claws
at the time
the sun
is setting

and if you glow

too bright    
they find you

Thus,
Only from a distance
could she listen
and when dragged in
by persistence
she lost so much resistance
in the instance
when he cried for her


And they were Two




*But she could never say, "I love you."
I've read a lot of stories about people who are so wrecked inside that they can't be truthful, so I thought I'd try to show my gratitude for those who stay by their side without any sort of confirmation.
