Ele se foi Ele foi embora sem fazer barulho. Sem briga, sem porta batendo, sem aquela cena de cinema onde a gente pelo menos tem a chance de gritar tudo o que ficou entalado. Ele só se foi...E eu fiquei ali, por horas, por dias, por semanas esperando-o voltar. O silêncio dele foi mais ensurdecedor do que qualquer adeus poderia ter sido. Porque se ele tivesse dito "acabou" eu teria algo para segurar; uma frase, um motivo, um ponto final que me obrigasse a parar de esperar. Mas ele não me deu nada. Ele me deixou suspensa no ar, igual aquelas promessas que ele me fazia enquanto olhava no fundo dos meus olhos. A dor não é bonita, a dor não tem dignidade. Ele foi se esvaziando aos poucos para caber no amor que ele tinha para me dar. Disse a mim mesma que era cansaço, que todo relacionamento tinha altos e baixos. Inventei desculpas para ele dentro da minha cabeça. "Está tudo bem apenas um dia estressante". Mesmo sabendo agora, mesmo sabendo disso...Mesmo com o peito doendo, se ele volta hoje, se bater em minha porta com os olhos marejados e ar de desculpa, eu vou abrir. Eu vou abrir outra vez. E vou acreditar de novo. Até porque a gente não desaprende a ter fé naquilo que matou a gente. A gente só sangra até aprender a sangrar calado.

Ele se foi
Most girls think of boy bands. Most girls think of heart throbbs But they are shallow I am not like Most girls My crush was not with a throbbed Or a boy singer But with a doctor A Most unusual Was there something wrong with Me At the f**king time I will never know. I am not like Most girls

Not like most girls
Speak of love, So many hopeless hearts, With none to give. Something to dream they'll find, When they aren't even sure what to look for. Find it on your own first. Otherwise, you'll just end up hurting others Or hurting worse.

Hopeless Only In Ignorance
I need you in my life, baby The only productive addiction in my future is to your proximity A decade of scattered sorrows is but an aching blink when I’m with you You manifest what I could never say or feel without the fear of exile Rom-Coms hold no candle or wick to our story Proposals would only seem like trivial when it comes to you and I We’re closer than nostalgia and episodic memory closer than gods and their devotees closer than the dawn and dusk when nine to fives carry you through a day Yet despite our bond only I can hear you, see you, feel you, think you So with baited breath I speak your name, or at least what you are known as: Imagination.

Until we are no more
Saw you waiting for her, Saw you fighting for her, While I am Busy waiting for you, Been wanting to be with you, Even if I wait million years, Can you tell me if I deserve you?

soulmates who never met
We are not destined for prosperity. Of this, I am sure. Our destiny is akin to the butchers calf. But, if you'd allow me. Just one naive wish. One human desire. I ask for happiness. For old age and pained limbs. For many years of arguing and conflict. For struggle and hunger. Give me years. If not prosperity give me this.

Oh, Patroclus..
I must give you fair warning as I sit here contemplating my life That I am no artist able to cast light and shadow with the whiskers of a brush so, I must use words to paint you a picture   of the inside of this broken man’s soul. Feminine Beauty with hair of night Seduction is your name and Romance your contest of choice You may deal your cards In this game of chance called life as I sit here alone upon the corner stool Love peers in through the sunlit window Glances my way and moves on as Seduction lays out her cards of fate. Loneliness consumes my thoughts Though none who might observe me will see it As my thoughts linger among the shadows of my life None but my close friend destiny knows of the battles that I have fought Upon the playground of life Some won and some lost Sweet seduction My heart lies broken Trampled under the high heels Of too many a pretty face. So, my former sweetheart Romance can no longer entice me Nor your twin sister flirtation arouse me. Notice that I drink water and not wine For my broken spirit, has not even the strength To seek solace in that comforter of broken dreams Alcohol. With no soul No meaning in my life Time slips ever faster across my lost hopes and forgotten dreams So forgive me lovely temptress of men’s fate If I choose to let your cards lie where you have cast them And walk away. Years ago, I would have stayed and enjoyed the game but then a sister of yours came to rip out my heart and soul Who was she? you ask True love was her name.

The lavenders sing your name every time I walk by It makes me want to run and scream in the other direction “No! Stop saying his name!” I cry The lavenders giggle, for they will not stop I changed my route, as I would die if I heard their euphoric chants anymore One day i realize “I cannot change my daily routine and way of living over a boy who will never love me in a million years” And so I go back to scold the lavenders for their taunts But they are gone And so are you

Follow the rabbit he will take you to happiness Do not be late, do not miss that date You could get lost in a sea of confusion You would be deceived by the ostensible outlook You could go fetch seven little men You could be the fairest of them all Beware of the deep and everlasting sleep You would be deceived by the apple's red color Worry about the petals, they are falling so quickly He will be stuck that forever if you cannot make him love you Keep an eye on the rose, it is far too beautiful to let go You will be deceived by the appearance of a beast Stuck in a tower, do not ever look down Grow out your hair past the tall brick walls Spot a good man, make him rescue your heart You would be deceived by the family relations Cleaning the bathroom, making the bed Sneak out to town, be invited to a dance "Fairy Godmother, please just give me once chance" You would be deceived by the loss of one shoe So waiting, I am waiting for an answer to come Looking for one man to be the one that I want A fairy-tale ending is nothing I am after For I would be deceived by the misinterpretations of the story

He watched me slay in my black-cropped top, I wasn’t wearing any underwear, I bended over, getting my glass of beer on the coffee table. Man, I wish I could re-live that night. There was no room for me in the couch. He offered his seat but I sat on his lap, And buried my face in his neck. He asked me what’s wrong, his breath smelled like cigarettes. He walked me to my unit He grabbed my hand on 23rd street, Looked me in the eye and told me how My existence in his life is worth more than anyone.

"You know what makes every story pretty?" he asked. "What?" "Unpredictability. One day, I don't even know how your hands feel; the next, they are all I ever want to hold." "You know what makes unpredictability pretty?" "What?" he asked. "That your every syncopated heartbeat is my love story."

Unpredictability
This is the glory light When sore eyes land your sight And I can see what's ahead I'll picture you in my bed With your clothes on the floor For I want nothing more Nothing less then your grace And that smile on your face When it wakes in the shine Of the sweet morning time & I can see in your eyes That I'm yours and your mine

Float through the milky way. Watch a star die. Ask for a love song from an alien. Dance around Saturn on it's rings. Rearrange the stars to spell your name. Anything for you, My love could fill space.

I haven't been at this dark of a place in years.... As if all my fears coexist into one big giant fist It's as if all the nightmares I had when I was younger combined into a flying feature film staring that guy who dies every **** time I'm that guy if you were wondering It's over, I've rejoiced with those hollow words too many to count It's never over The war has just begun It's a struggle to look upward when my shoes seem so appealing But it's the act of wanting you back that keeps me in a never ending spasm of heart attacks one after another I know they say god doesn't make junk But it seriously seems like he half assed most of my personality Not because I'm not kind or caring Actually quiet the opposite I stick around when ever sticks and stones seem like home compared to finding home in you I stick around when broken bones don't even begin to reach the discomfort of your glare I'm ripped into 7 different pieces I want to live pure and for god but the other three fifths of me wishes for you to just let it be Let love grow Maybe If a flower can't stand up to a summer breeze than the petals will probably fall off Because flowers need water You're parched but swimming in a freshwater spring Like the act of killing my self esteem and dignity in one fowl swing wasn't enough for you You're gonna point for all to see and shout "HE DID THIS TO ME!!" But what puzzles me is you're pointing at the sky So when you die and ask him why Don't be surprised if he tells you the story of the man on the roof of the flood So with that I bid you farewell, and good luck.
