When I look forward I see you, my past
But I’m not looking back
So that shouldn’t be possible
There you are in my mind, a fossil
a pure figment I’ve tried to bury
The weak dirt just flows away all weary
an iceberg with your face just floats there
That I’ve tried to drown
The water always fails to suffice
so it still drifts around
Maybe one day
my conscience won’t be so conscious of you
Maybe someday
Somebody else will replace what you left
Somebody will sweep you away
Maybe it will be a better you instead
So when I look forward, it’s clear
Maybe a better you will be you

as a picture of me in your mind

after all these times,
i finally came to a realization
all the while i was given the signs
that loving you isn't my position.

but no, i still love you,
i still think of you;
but maybe, just maybe—
this time it has to be me.

maybe if i finally let go,
it'd be a chance for me to grow.
Do you remember that Cold night of December ?

When I was close to you
Wanting you to hold me in your warm embrace,

When I was afraid of the dark
Wished you paved the path with light

When I poured my heart
And you just pushed me apart

When I was weak
But you acted as a wreak

When I wished for you to be there
But you slowly faded away to nowhere

When you accused me of something I didn't do,
Just so that you had a reason to go and showed me your real hue

Then why in that Cold Night Of December you met me,
When all you wanted was to break me ?

You,

I regretted knowing you, though I don't regret our memories. I regretted knowing you at a wrong time, at a time where both of us ain't the best for each other but then again, if fate ain't on our side then I guess there's really ain't any perfect time. Well, what can I say, I'm still stuck with this agony of a feeling, if I would play a scene and rewind it over and over again like a broken tape, the title would be "when I met you".

Me

Now that we don't talk
I listen with my eyes
I look at heaven when you walk by

Whispered words stitch up my tongue
so I don't accidentally say how much I long
for you.

I tell myself i am happy being single.
You tell me thats not true.

I tell myself i dont need a family of my own.
You tell me you would make a fantastic father

I tell myself you will see the real me eventually and leave anyway.
You tell me you know me and that will never happen.

I tell myself im a waste of space and the world would be better without me.
You tell me im not and your life is better with me in it.

I tell myself if it wasnt for you i dont know where i would be.
You tell me i will never have to find out.

I tell myself how lucky i am to have you.
You say the same.
Please excuse any spelling, Im dyslexic. I have not had the confidence to share any of my poems until very recently. So kind words please

I tried writing your name
on the sand
and the waves wash it away - everytime

I tried calling you
from the mountains top
and my words echoed - like boomerang

I tried throwing pebbles
In the lake
hoping
the ripples would reach your shore...

I tried sitting
for hours
where we first met
and didn't catch your glimpse

I tried drowning
in your thoughts
and was bounced back
by the tides of the time..

of all the things
that i tried
when you're gone  - finding you
in my heart
has always worked...

YOU
Your love is all what I need
Your heart is all what I crave
Your eyes are in which I want to get lost
Your smile is all I want to see
Loved you
