This moment, when all the song lyrics direct my thoughts towards you. All the lyrics that are supposed to remind me of someone dear Is this how love feels? Overwhelming yet never enough the catharsis of felicities one could feel the avalanche of gratitude felt. When all the movie scenes make a picture of you when all the characters of books are me and you. Is this how love feels? How I'd give anything for those lips of yours to curve into a playful smile. For that smile of yours to reach all the way to your squinting eyes. To wish all the happiness to this boy. This boy I'd never let escape from my heart. and when he holds my cheeks in his hands, looks me directly in my eyes. As if they could be read. As if there are mountains and skies beyond them. As if there's a desire to decipher all of me. But, Is this how love feels? This boy, no matter how hard I try, I wont be enough for. This boy, who deserves so much more. who means the world to me. But, Is this how love feels? Painful that I'll be never enough trying to be a better fit. No, the best fit. Trying to see myself through his eyes. While he tells me that he loves me just the way I am..

Is This How Love Feels??
O tunnel of firs, tied with rain, were you watching too, when my parapet ate a hock of indigo at seven, and, still hungry, gobbled a dull star? Were you watching from cold roots, little grove, when something unfaithful happened? A curling lip received a sacrament of apple cider vinegar under clouds of hospital gauze. O firs, you never tell me anything, too proud by half in your gowns of needles.   That's alright - I'll lay until the night slips over the line, and imagine a kind of morning where I have nothing to tell you either.

Postscript
I want to know why. I want to know how. I want to know what's on your mind right now. I want to know what you've seen. I want to know your pain So maybe someday I can relieve Some of the pressure That suffocates your brain.

"I'm too afraid to die but in too much pain to want to live. So tell me, what do you do when you've given all you feel you have to give? "Just live."

tell me who crosses your mind when you are laying awake listening to your favorite songs? whose smile flashes before your eyes? and whose eyes meet you in your dreams?

tell me the things i need
Tell me what to do So I can do the opposite Tell me what I want So I know I don’t want it Tell me what to say I’ll find my voice another way Tell me what’s right for me I’ll find out what left for me I don’t know what I like Until I know what I don’t like Tell me what to think What to drink, what to wear Tell me that I don't care, That I can’t spare the time Tell me what I don’t need And where not to go Tell me what I don’t want - I really need to know NCL September 2019

Tell Me
I liked that night, we were flying As the black cloaked your stars, you had your eyes closed Sleep-deprived and half dead I thought of loving you It seemed foolish On the ground, it felt dizzy like you spun me around Friendly smiles were small Everything was so dead I didn’t think of you I don’t know the day where I thought of it as more It wasn’t a day but a memory, a rememory The buttons were pushed before I was ready Anxiously I worked and worked and acted like your honey didn’t matter to me It didn’t, I convince myself even now But the moment came in capitals You thought I was unattainable The breaks were pressed by those closest Of course they were, it’s what they’re there for I waited and waited and waited and I got tiny answers I got fragments, particles, portions I never got it all I still don’t have it all Is this you Is this my body? Worse, is it my mind Tell me now, if I ask too much Tell me now, if communication won’t be our thing Tell me now If we won’t be our own thing But just tell me Tell me anything Because I need to be told

Flying Changes the Time
You see, I tried to tell him about that night "No" I say, "he didn't hurt me" and no I didn't say no but I said things like "That's enough" and "I don't like that" And yes at first I had wanted to And no I wasn't so drunk I couldn't consent But I turned my legs and offered something else he didn't want that... I faked it to make it stop because I didn't know what to else to say I laughed about it with my friends because I was trying to get another reaction. I was trying to ask someone if it was ok... I told my priest and he said I was asking for it I told a pastor and she said "we all make mistakes" I told him because I wanted to explain...why I didn't like that one thing... I never told myself. Because I didn't want to hear what I had to say. and that that is the problem

Request
"are you really in love with me?" "of course, I really really love you, babe." then, why doesn't it seem like you do? because no—not really. you're just in love with the way I always make you feel. like you're the Sirius among my constellation of stars. because you are. you just.. you just love my words. you love the way I pour my feelings for you through my poems. you love the way I arrange words and phrases to cheer you up on your hard times. you love the way I appreciate everything you do. you love the fact that you're special to someone—to me. but you neither give me a feedback nor treat me the way I treat you because you know that I'll always be there for you, whatever it takes. — of course you are my Sirius, but darling you're shining too bright, and I'm burned.

Anxiety
# Its been Days, weeks, months Since you left me behind Left me head over heels in "love" with you You had me thinking that i knew you so well That I was the best thing in your life That I was the only thing that you trusted You had me thinking that you loved me that you truly did care for me that our countless messages meant something that our phone calls every night weren't just out of boredom You had me thinking that I was worth something that for once I could be somebodies that person that every time you walked me to class and every time you waited for me at the end of the day was because you needed me I want to scream that you used me that you lied and it all meant nothing that you manipulated and stayed cause I was the only one there that I wasn't the one who made myself believe something that isin't even there Its been so long since we talked or seen each other All the reality and words of what people say all start to make sense I trusted you with everything, took your word above all But I wonder if that was the right choice to make If I should have trusted my other friends after all But your gone now, Theres no need to stress All the words and things no longer hold any meaning You don't care about me,  You don't even bother to text My hollowed out heart doesn't bother anymore Not after its been broken to it's very core Sometimes I close my eyes at night All I can see is your cheerful face Grinning and laughing, as you did when we were friends The memories we shared, things like watching our show together, falling asleep in the middays sun and playing video games till we finally won. And I know that in these moments I was truly happy I was content, in love and I wished for nothing more. But as I lay awake I can't help but wonder Did you really not love me, did you find me a bore? Was it all really a lie? Did you truly not care? Was I nothing more than just a person who happened to be there? Cause I loved you, loved you so much that it ******* hurt I blindly gave you everything till I was completely stripped bare So do enlighten me Do tell me blunt and clear Tell me your true feelings For the whole world to hear I've been suffering in silence Not allowing myself to shed a tear I refused to believe that my love meant nothing The very thought fills my soul with fear Tell me so I can cry Tell me so I can finally move on Tell me the truth behind it all Tell me so that I can stop loving you Cause in my heart you are still My beloved pedestal boy #

What is it between us? Is there a spark we don't see? Can it really be there if Neither one of us wants to see? When I look at you I see nothing but star, And endless possibilities. Your smile brings me joy Your presence makes me happy, All I want to do is be near you Can it be love? Something so simple as this Is it really this easy To feel for something this way? Being around yo makes my heart happy, Skipping an extra beat as I dream about you. I want to see where this goes, Why don't you just tell me how you feel? Are we on the same page? Do you think about me, Even on the coldest of nights? Do you wish you  were with me, When times get rough? I want nothing more, Than to be in your arms, Take in your scent, And feel your heart. One day I hope you tell me how you feel. Just don't take too long... I'll wait if I have to, It'll teach me patience... By remember I can't wait forever You are what I want, But I hope I am for you Someday soon... Someday maybe, You'll build up the courage, And just tell me

Tell me
*Tell me The first time you met How your stomach spinned How the butterflies danced Tell me The first time you talked How you fidgeted on your own How you stuttered with every word Tell me The first time you touched How your senses aroused How your heart wanting to burst Tell me The first time you dated How the billion of stars aligned How the lovely moon smiled Tell me The first time you kissed How time momentarily stopped How magical, ephemeral it felt Tell me The first time he forgot How betrayed you felt How petty it seemed Tell me The first drop of tear How you tried to wipe it away How you acted okay Tell me The first time he lied How hard you cried all night How you forgave the next light Tell me The first time you fight How he screamed so loud How you hide like a child Tell me The first time he tried to break up How your heart almost stopped How you shamelessly begged Tell me The first time he walked away How you cried in despair How heart broken you've been Tell me The first sign of fading away How the fire slowly loses it’s spark How the story unfolds a twisted plot Now tell me How nights were so long, sleepless How tears were almost blood How dumb and numb and doomed it felt Now tell me How you handled the pain How you remain “in-sane” How you stitched every broken part Now tell me How time has nothing to do with it How moving on was so hard A state of mind, a choice Now tell me The moment you let go The moment you forgive The moment you walked away -of memories -the people specially him -from the past, the pain Now tell me How freeing it felt How the burden was lifted How the heart was relieved Now tell me The moment you smiled again The wicked grin “i’m over it” The moment you’re living again Now tell me, after him The first smile The first life Ahh, much sweeter, better, genuine Now tell me That you learned a great deal That you are stronger than before That “first love” will always be special Now that you’ve told me your story I know, i know, you’re over it..*

Are you fatigued? Do you have irritable bowel syndrome? Are there irreconcilable differences in your life? Are you Homophobic... "I climb 1,576 stairs" "But I have a lot of gay friends" once we've reached the top, there are no two quarters for the lens. What's driving us, this feeling, this wander? Could you imagine, If kind was ****** compassion. Could you imagine, If kind has no reaction. What a day, what a day, what a day, what a day; it will be. Like children lost in corn mazes....... filled with glee. Hollow are those shallow times, don't you forget about me. What a day, what a day, what a day, what a day; it will be. Luckily those prickly vines, are fading fantastically. _TRF          sometimebforehalloween_

empire strikes building: **** is a sanctuary
Hey, can you do me a favor? Let me know once it stopped, okay? Tell me. Tell me no matter how much it may hurt me, tell me once you stop being in love with me. Let me know when your heart no longer whispers my name. Tell it to my face, that it’s over. I don’t want to hear it from someone else, please at least have the guts to tell me that you don’t love me anymore. I know it sounds pessimistic, but can you blame me? We live in a very unpredictable world; one thing can turn to another within a span of a second. I don’t want to deal with a heartbreak because I ended up believing that love is all about hearts and flowers. And that love can withstand anything. I don’t believe in forever. I believe in the now. See, I can’t promise you these superficial things and vague whatnots. I can only give you what I have now. And I don’t expect you to promise me the stars and the moon, no, don’t give me forever. Don’t give me something you don’t have. I don’t want to hope for something that may end up nothing. Save me from the heartache of believing in love too much. The sad thing is that we can’t even promise our tomorrow. We don’t hold the universe in our hands, we don’t know what will happen next, we are no seer. So, here I am, promising you my now and only asking you the same. So tell me when you don’t love me anymore. I want to hear it from your lips with your own voice. I want to hear the same voice that told me iloveyous, telling me the idontloveyouanymore. Tell me once you are slipping away, but I won’t promise that I will not try to keep you, because I will, I am only a human too. Promise me that no matter how broken I become, you will walk away, because you don’t love me anymore. I don’t want you staying because of pity, you can walk away with the memories: I’ll keep what I need, and you walk away with yours. I won’t blame you, no, I really won’t. I will cry, but all the same, don’t comfort me. Let me mourn the death of a love I once had. So, If ever this shall end… Please tell me and have the decency to break my heart properly.

❇Can you tell me❇
How could I keep myself away from admiring you so deeply, when the breathe of my heart is dying to know you deeply? How could I run away from this disturbed emotion, when you to me is a beautiful distraction? How could I make myself believe that I am only daydreaming, when every words you say my heart is pounding? How could I end this reverie? From your beautiful soul, I cannot flee. -Steph Dionisio, October 08, 2015
