What greater pain is there than to yearn for the arms that never held you?
To long for the touch of hands which never held mine.
Uncertain voices over faulty lines speak words never so true.
Promises of "us", and "our" in the dead of night.

Words were all we had, yet there came a day when words were no longer enough.
When words began to hurt,
Slicing deeper than sharpest blade.
"Us", and "Our" bitterly turn to
"Me", "You", no and. No us.

Now promises echo in the stars,
Taunting me,
Like a bright sun in a bleak winter.
Words fade and crackle away,
Teaching a lesson that will never stick.
After all, it is better to yearn than to learn that love isn't meant for those who need it, but for those who want it.
I miss him.

to be loved endlessly
to have the screaming stop; just for a minute; in their arms-

I do not know how to describe it.

for as long as i have known,
i have never slept
without my shoulders heavy and back in unwinding knots.

im not even ******* grown yet.
it scares me;
adolescence has gotten me all twisted up
whatever will happen,
when i fall to the mercy of the treacherous claws of life?

sometimes i wonder,
where the **** did my adolescence even go?
man i just want to be a kid
to live my beautiful kid life
without any pain
in a dreamy house with a burning fire
parents, who love, with a desire;
to live,
to flourish!
friends, free and true
none of this rivalry; ado.
i may or may not have just watched adolescence, which is what probably inspired this little thing (i wouldn't call it a poem).

Within my soul, a flame celestial glows,  
A spark unyielding, born where longing flows.  
Desires, like fleeting shadows, rise and wane,  
Yet one remains—eternal, pure, unstained.  

O’ soul! To claim thine own, to stand sublime,  
Unbound by fate, untouched by dust or time.  
To merge as rivers seek the boundless sea,  
To find in love the truth that sets us free.  

This is the call that stirs my restless breast,  
A thirst unslaked, a fire yet unblessed.  
O’ Lord of Light, unchain this heart of mine,  
That I in union’s rapture may divine!

I need you like twilight needs the stars,
like weary hands crave a gentle touch.
The world is softer with you in it—
its edges ease, its air turns warm,
the weight of longing lifted in my ribs.

I close my eyes and reach for you,
and though miles stretch between us,
I find the trace of your presence still—
cologne and cigarettes,
smoke curling soft in memory,
a scent that whispers, I am near.

If I could pull you through the distance,
fold the hours between my hands,
I would rest my head against your shoulder,
breathe you in until the ache fades.
But even now, love lingers in the quiet,
a steady pulse, a tether unbroken.

You are not gone, only waiting—
your laughter still echoes,
your warmth still lingers,
and your name, when spoken,
is not a wish, not a prayer—
but a promise that love remains.
Is it true,
That a man who yearns,
Becomes a man who earns?

I yearn for you,
More than anything else,
For your sweet tender lips,
Softy milky skin.

But I already earned your love,
So can I earn something for you?
I want you to feel safe,
And stop feeling sorry.
I wish I could be there for her always

I hope you never forget me
Our inside jokes and the memories I see
When I close my eyes, longing
For that heartbreaking belonging

I hope you don’t forget my smile
Or the way I look like while I cry
I hope our memories still haunt you,
Because I miss you every time I lie

i whisper secret sweet rhyme onto his skin
resting in his bed while the light is dim
i listen to his slow, rhythmic breathing
and know i’ll be seething when
he’s not mine

i’ll get him one day
one day ill be with him
he’s been with me since day one
and i want to see him atleast one time a day

A lovely she is..
I watch her all day.

From dawn to next day,
I wait in dismay.

Each sunset I stare,
My white window's view.

I can not find her.

Each night i spent,
And of each day's lament,
More i want to know,
The meaning of the white,
Window engraved.

This white wall ,
And the white window.

It's too shiny,
The bright coating.
Its viscous colour,
Dripping ,
drop by drop,

I can't seem to break by,
Halting and trying,
rock by rock.

I do have a chair to rest,
But I wait for her,
standing,
By window's view ,
& I wait.

I do have the other wall,
I do have another window,
But I can't seem to make myself
Break through the white wall,

While by the moonlight,
I stare her shadows engraved.

Why this white wall,
Seems a storm to the
Beautiful rainbow,
And if i all i could is wait
Then Why is this white window?

A lovely she is..
I watched her all day.
