Your Birthday is in a few months I wish we could celebrate it together But we can't, that's okay though I will wish you a happy birthday either way Post about you to let everyone know how much I miss you How much you were the joy to my world How much that I cared about you How much I wish you were here and how much I wish I could rewind time To make sure this didn't happened But I cant, I wish though I miss you so much pretty girl

Your Birthday
She was not too close, Also not so unknown. She was not a friend for life… Neither just friend. But still… She always respected my opinions Listened to all my blabbering Bared all my naughty antics Secured all my secrets Understood all my feelings Yes!! She was special and her absence is getting hard now.

Friend to Stranger
is just the love that once belonged to you that now has nowhere else to go.

Grief
Yesterday she said Tomorrow I'm gonna be a better someone. So now, tomorrow is here but today time is not on her side She is gone

Tomorrow is today
When I was younger, my mother used to ask me, “what do you know?” Knowing that it was in a joking manner rather to discourage me, I would simply reply with my palms facing the sky, “I don’t know.” At 25 years old, if nothing else, I know this... It’s that feeling when you’re about to ride your first rollercoaster- scared shitless & excited at the same time. It’s constant indecisiveness... usually over what to eat. It’s that tug on the arm you get when you get up from bed, as if vines from the comforter spat out out of fear of missing your presence. It’s stepping on your shoelace and landing on your face simply because she walked by in that leopard print dress, looked at herself from every angle in the mirror, & had the audacity to ask, “No?” Yet, all you could think is, “Oh, yes.” At times, it’s a moment of silence while two souls dance in an electric space. It’s having the patience to learn their love language so that you may speak it back to their soul more fluently. It’s a forever gift & everything alike. & I know every couple has their own version, so here’s what mine is like: MY love is a monsterous game of “who loves who more” & we’re both clawing for that gold medal MY love is distant, yet close. Lonely & cold in bed yet warm in heart knowing that I get at least wake up to an angel telling me to “win my day.” MY love is drenching everything in my room with the cologne she bought me so that it may somehow seep into my pores so I could be a walking memory. MY love is 5,291 unbearable miles across the Pacific. Try $2,546.03 worth of 2 trips of a grand total of 64 days spent together out of nearly 2 years of being in a relationship. MY love is getting a little under 3 hours a day of FACETIME & each second, yearning for more face to face time. It’s saying, ***** a text.” I’ll write a letter expressing how at times when I’m spiraling downwards, the song of her voice on repeat makes it all better. MY love is snatching my voice box from my throat, smashing it into ink, writing an “I love you” message, stuffing it into a bottle, & tossing it out to sea so it’ll one day wash up on her shores... Then she’ll read it and cherish that voicemail for the rest of her days. And so... now I’m prepared to answer my mother’s question... What do I know? I know LOVE & at times it shares the same address as PAIN... I think it’s time to sit them both down & have a little talk. - a.r.Camm

If I fantasize about you coming back to me then I don't have to let you go my reality is almost perfected.... I'll choose insanity because it has you in it. I'll choose dillusion because, there.... you tell me you love me still I'll choose denial because hopelessness can feel like hope the only world I want to accept is the one where, in it, you're lying next to me. I'll choose insanity instead of accepting that you left a long time ago. Tonight.... I'm lying here, nearly asleep, and you're lying next to me. Perfect

Insanity
It was Fate that gave us each other But a mix of ignored warnings and mistakes that drove us apart now time has passed and I still wish you back I look at the gift of our first date and think back at the happiness we felt as I lay fresh lilies on the grave of what we had I still see your smiling face haunting the forest of my dreams your words of confidence still echoing in the back of my mind Now the thriving town of my heart is nothing more than a cold forgotten ruin I travel back to when we first met as a tear rolls down my cheek now I wish for you to be happier, rather than return, for that may be the only way the pieces will sew themselves anew

To my Irreplaceable Lover
Happily he deals very gently and understandingly with me.  I love him. (sonnet #MMMMMDCCXCV) Not mists.  Thet ghostly whiteness as a veil Down where the valley shivers in suspense, Flirtatious winds' moist breath stale in the sense Tis muggy ere dawn cast off Sunday's pale Thought of more hallowed things, and in a frail Excuse I button that blouse Mum gave thence To me, to die as seeing her worn face hence, Those precious eyes, and hate me in betrayl. Oh Robert!  How I want to scream as twere Until the universe is shattered to Sheer nothingness.  But then as now in poor 'Scuse, no sound can come out. And I tell you Cuz only you seem understand.  Mists tour Forsooth, and I still breathe, pray, love you too. 24Jul16a

Ever Heard "It's Too Late Now"?
the pull from under my ribs is wanderlust unsuccessfully convincing myself that the ache in my soul is not my red string of fate-- the one wrapped around my heart-- being pulled taut ripping my organs from my chest and breaking my ribs like glass it is not, i whisper, not fooling anyone the distance that makes it feel like glass shards have taken over my throat crawling from my mouth and cutting off my tongue it is not, the fact that i cannot hold you that makes my arm feel as if they have no purpose it is not, you being so far from my heart, my arms that cuts up my insides so fine please let me pretend, just for a while longer, that you being gone doesn't make me feel like a goner

Even though we went on our own ways I'm still here waiting for you Waiting for you to rekindle our old memories How it felt every time I'm by your side But maybe those memories will be my past The past that I cannot ever feel No matter how tightly I hold onto it

Every time I seeketh her She always falls asleep Yet I guess I'll let her rest May her soul get some peace..

Sleep
I miss you every day, as I pretend you never existed It's the only way I feel ok, but my mind is twisted I love you, I always will I just hope feeling alright doesn't always rely on these pills. I'm not ready to move on, my unconscious clearly shows me that I'm afraid to go to sleep because I know you'll be there and when I wake up, I just stare blankly into the light of my clock, trying not to feel disappointed in the fact that you'll never be here. All night, I run from sleep to avoid those dreams I hate but in the morning I scratch at the door of unconsciousness begging it to let me back in, because those dreams are my only escape.

Fighting Myself
The breaking warmth over the morning glow. The caramel macchiato which remind me of her love. Her stress filled tears, do so bring me fury. Her radiate smile, endless dreams. Her heart, wishful happiness.

X. Love
Next to my alarm clock, on my bedside table, I keep a note It simply says: "It was a dream. He's still gone." And every morning when I wake up with a smile And roll over to trace your lips good morning, I see the note I don't have to read it anymore I know what it says I memorized it like I memorized you {bcg}

Like I Memorized You
I remember you like a famous brachiosaur, ensconced in the terrible street lamps of west county apartment block row. That swaying bronze gate to your three flat two room apartment. Skinny legs for the couch, the backroom bedroom, and the bunk beds in the master suite. We studded me for excellent squeeze; one trident pull switching time against a baited lock. "I'll swallow you whole," you brushed off into my ear while I passed your cheek with my lips, braising your skin with dew drops of our rushes and sweat. Even for April this was alright. Your brother had already moved out, and listening to Hall and Oates and going fishing was all you wanted to do. So I made us two root beer floats with Almond Milk ice cream, and settled into you for five hours and forty-five minutes. It was before 5:00a.m. when you turned to the night and spilled the last ounces of your naked body out to me beneath the satin sheets. I pressed my lips hard against your nose and whispered I'd be leaving soon. Still I do not recall if I woke you when I left, but I remember that next day when you questioned if I had.
