I want to know that there's hope
I want to know that there's a future
I want to see that there's a sustainable place in her heart for me
And yet, if that's not the case
I need to learn what I need and can
And then I need to leave
Honest, true, me.
Darius Jul 2017
So here's a prayer for every wish I wasted on you
For every star I forced to fall in hopes that dreams do come true
I'll beg for their forgiveness, but I won't beg for you.

I want someone to pull me in and figure me out.

ख़ुदा ने भी मेरी क्या तक़दीर लिखी है,
जिसमे मैं तो हूँ पर मेरी तस्वीर नहीं है,

जिसे अपनी तस्वीर बनाया वो आज फिर बेगाना है,
अकेले आया हूँ और शायद अकेले ही जाना है,

आज मेरी हर लब्ज़ क्यों उन्हें नापसंद है,
क्यों मुझसे खफ़ा,नजाने क्यों मुझसे रंज है,

कितनी उम्मीद नजाने कितनी ख्वाइशें है,
नजाने कितनी शिकायते मुझसे,नजाने कितनी नुमाइशे है,

मेरी भी कुछ ऐसी तक़दीर होती,
बंद होती उनकी आँखे जब नींद से,उनके आँखों में सिर्फ मेरी ही तस्वीर होती,

काश! मोहब्बत की भी ज़ुबा होती,
तो सायद इजहार-ए-मोहब्बत भी शब्दों में बयां होती,

दुनिया की भी अज़ीब दस्तूर है,
जिसे प्यार किया वही हमसे दूर है,
वही हमसे दूर है.......|

Sometimes we all need
Someone to be there
Not to fix anything
Or to do anything
We just simply need them
To let us feel support
To show we are cared for
To show we are we are supported
Because I'm the end
We are needed.

I want you.

I want to know your favorite color and your middle name.
I want to know about the people you hate and how you found out you loved women.

How do you make your sandwiches?
What foods do you like and can’t pronounce?
What places do you want to see and what words do you know but can’t explain the definition?

Can we cuddle?  
And by cuddle I don’t just mean lay on you, because trust me, I can do that without cuddling. By cuddling I mean let me hold you till you forget your problems and I finally stop talking.

I want to call you baby. I want to sit in a room, with you, listening to jazz music.

I want to feel your pulse and you feel mine,
I want to hear your heartbeat dance to the rhythm of the same songs on the corny playlist on Spotify I made that remind me of you.

The Special Playlist,
(I call it)
The Makeout Playlist,
(you do).

I want to only be about to hear our synced hearts
and the slow songs
and the weight of the world leaving our shoulders
plopping onto the floor with your worries
and the jacket I took off of you when you first came in.

I want you to tease me
because I significantly failed as a former lesbian
because I’ve never watched Orange is the New Black
or The L Word
“You’re not Lesbian certified”
You’ll tell me.

I want to speak to you
In my limited German vocabulary
and watch gay movies
and let you tease me even more
when you find out I can’t sit through *** scenes
even the really gay ones,
and ****** isn’t my thing.
It’s okay though,
Your laugh is cute.

And I want to kiss you.
I want to kiss you like
we’re those ***** *** teenagers
from Romeo and Juliet,
(but with a better ending).
I want to kiss you like
there’s nobody else in the world
And there aren’t people who hate me for liking you
And your family won’t care if you love me because
****,
I want to kiss you.

Let me buy you flowers,
and want to take you on dates.

Let me take you to McDonald’s
and order off the dollar menu because
I believe in treating my girl right
(And I get an employee discount)

let me tell you why I churches make me nervous
and how I don’t believe in God and
why I don’t like birthday parties
And how I want to have my cake and eat it too
Even though I hate cake
And prefer cupcakes,
But nothing is better than cake if that’s you.

I want you to know why I played trumpet for three years then switched to baritone,
I want to know if you’ve ever done drugs and how it felt.
What are your morals and values?
What’s your utopia?

I want to send you goodnight texts and spend hours talking about nothing
And dance offbeat with you because
neither of us could have rhythm to save our lives.
I’ll let you scream fight me when I let you win in games I would destroy you at because you get that goofy smile when you think you’ve won.

Introduce me to your family and I’ll show you mine.
Let me see your baby photos and we can see foreign movies on Netflix.
Let’s go out for coffee and ask deep questions.


I don’t care, okay?
I just want you.
I need less free time

What I don't understand,
Is that I feel it when
We hold hands,
Or when she rests in my arms
And steals a quick glance,
When she thinks I'm not looking.

Or
When she half smiles,
And though shes been silent for awhile,
How there's a faint glimmer,
In those otherwise
Indifferent eyes.

How about when we tease
Each other, and talk ****?
Then we exhale
She rests her head on my chest
For a bit,
While her hand graces my thigh.

I feel it so strongly,
But I can't understand why
She won't say it
First?

My eyes feel so cloudburst.

I try not to make
It matter,
I know her better than that -
And for the sake
Of what we have,
I won't let it shake
Me, I let it be...

Call me an old young man -
I am old fashioned
In that sense,
I feel so juvenile
Cause I hated the word
"Boyfriend"
For the longest time
Yet it'd make me feel better,
Even if just for awhile.

Some of her peers know,
Through the affection we show,
But most don't
Is it a can't, or won't?
Perhaps I'm still a risk,
Cause I don't feel like a constant.
Maybe that's why sometimes she feels so...
Distant.

Is it real?
Is she worth it?
Of course it is,
Of course she is.

I can tell from all this
Fleeting bliss.

Cause I sense it,
When I'm half asleep,
With her curled up next to me.
Or when she places her lips
Ever lightly on my cheek,
When she runs her fingers through my hair,
In those moments,
I know she cares.

I try to think otherwise,
That its not a must.

I don't want to force her
To define what this is,
But I am selfish.
Because I need to know,
That shes willing to show,
That we are more than just friends -
That this is a means
That I am an end.

I know she loves me,
And that I love her
But sometimes
I need to make sure.

Am I that insecure,
To need to want more?
Grow up, Aidan.
Lillie Kay May 2017
It's gone, your touch
I can have it
But I can't
You're like chocolate
And I'm on a diet
No
You're a whole **** cake

They're gone, your lips
I can have them
But I'll have to say no
They're like Jameson
And I'm recovering
Me Apr 2017
The twists and shapes, mirror the lone,
Create the wish, and give a lie,
Dilate the world and ****** the mind,
The world of perfection, just a whisper.

Bond with, shall create the tempest, shall give it life
Safe haven, from others, two faced, to we,
That slowly take the hand, and commit,
To this deadly dance.

Fractals, lights, that give an awe,
Grow slowly and latch, clinch and tear, thus we bleed
A story told, the real, it fades,
A lust to adore, we call its name,

Apathetic to its endeavors, we sign,
Carve its signature, a forgetful lie,
Welcome, as it is, deception, it wields.

Hello Silence, Do You Remember My Name?
