If love was one letter in the alphabet
It would be “U”

If you are going to write a poem about me
Write it for your own therapy
Write about my flaws and insecurity
Write about my lack of love
and addiction to fantasy
While suppressing my reality
Write about how I’ve been lost romantically
Like seriously hopelessly I am romantic
Especially when these emotions keep abusing me
Write about how I have been chasing who I am supposed to be
But running into who the world has chosen me to be, stuck in a box sealed with no identity
Write about the freedom which I have been chasing
but never having the ability to grasp
as it has simply eluded me

Rain falls from heaven
Bitter cold breeze Numbs souls
Wind chills speak a language only the lonely understand
Raising hopes were meant to fall
To face the following season
The coldest one of them all
A cold so bitter it Whispers painful joy
leaving your body shivering as it aches
making painful noise
while reflecting on past mistakes

My heart grew senses
when it started feeling your pain from within
The way it felt your pain was through empathy
Leaving me to touch your emotions
My love was the cure to heal all of your emotional burdens and emotional expressions
All I could utter when pain became a close enemy
was that my love for you was deeper than the struggle you were drowning in

A thousand lifeboats couldn’t save your sinking soul, too many pieces to hold, Vacancy it found on the shallow floor
Showing too much empathy left us both empty, and silence became the ear we expressed our deepest fears to

She scared him when she told him to unplug his heart from hers
She touched and played with her open scars
Bleeding, while she visited her past
He tried to repair her
But she was not willing to let him touch her scars
So her heart went far
He ran after her
Only to find her hiding behind her insecurity
Changing her character
seeking a different identity  
It was easier to run away from love
than face her reality
She overdosed on fantasy
And died to the sound of misery

Her love was nothing but a mystery

She burned with passion as I sacrificed my heart for her to use as a canvas
She drew art only my soul appreciated
It thirsted for her existence
Holding on to hope
While giving my all she loved with grace
The universe was never enough space
For her beauty, was far beyond royalty
Love and loyalty was what kept me addicted
To her presence

If anything know that this heart beats
Creating instrumentals, that have rthyms to your heart beat
Synchronized we swim to satisfaction
While multiplying genuine affection
As it Clogs our imagination
Thoughts so deep they drown in the ocean
you had 7 billion choices to love
But me is who you picked above
If anything know that my love for you will never die
Like a ghost I will hunt your thoughts, dreams and imagination
