If I could
I would swallow the tears of your past
Till they cease to stain your cheeks
The bitter taste won't hurt me as much
As seeing your swollen eyes
with hollows beneath
I would harness the heat of a million suns
And try to melt the frost
in which you're submerged neck deep
The fire won't burn me as much
As the ice that resists to be thawed
And the numbness that has besieged you
Refusing to recede
I would wear the darkness
as my favorite jeans
if it refuses to abound your world wherever you see
Won't worry if it makes me look like a creep
If only you believe
that theres hope ahead
Life isn't as bleak as it appears to be
I can do more
If only you speak
Won't care if it hurts me
All I care for is
Will it be enough for you
Will you become how you used to be

I either feel frozen
Frost bitten
Gelid
With lacerating wounds
The blood of which has long been congealed
Even the heat of a thousand suns cannot melt the ice that resides permanently deep within
Or boiling hot
Burning
With searing heat of leaping flames
Spreading tentacles  gliding swiftly
Ready to engulf me
torch my insides
Till I'm nothing but a ball of ash
Dispersed into the invisible wind
There's no in between
How could you hope
To be with me

I vanquished my feelings for you
Burned my love for you
The extent of which could never be traversed by you
And buried myself under oceans of tears
The day I realized
No matter how much I crave you
My love shall always dissipate
Into the  ashes of a great sorrow known by the name of Unrequited

You have a poetic soul
And I can't help
But fall in love with it
The way you string words
with your deft hands
so exquisitely in a breathtaking sequence
Just to say 'you're beautiful'
The way you sit by my side
And I rest my head upon your lap
Feeling your fingers twirling my hair
Listening to the stories that you've inked
With awe and wonder in my eyes
The way you look at me
with those dark brown  eyes
Like I'm your most guarded treasure
Your finest poem
The words with which you breathe
The sun of your life
Your most wonderful epiphany
The reason you choose to live
Forever for you
Is only me and you
And I can't help
But fall for for you
Every day
Every moment
Time and again

You went away
To an unknown place
And I awaited you
Seeking you in an unlimited space
My efforts to reach you
Went only in vain
For I could never fathom
Why you never wanted to see me again
We were so happy
Singing love songs dancing in the rain
Until you announced
That we should take a much needed break
A break which you never meant to renew
As it turns out you were just looking for an escape
Another adventure and another chase
And In her arms you were seeking solace
Forgotten in a breath
Turned to a haze
Oh how naive was i
Thinking I could never be replaced
Living in an illusion
That we could be soul mates
Like the petals of moon
Your love for me waxed and waned
As I walk this road
Where we first kissed and held hands
The memories come raining down
Stabbing me mercilessly as I wince in pain
With no one to hear my cries
and wipe these tears
Itching and burning my face

Remember that old uphill trail
We used to meander along
With matching footsteps
Under the sunlit canopy of leaves
Carving words for each other
On the bark of aged trees
Who may have known
what would become of us
But nevertheless smiled
acted as a blank canvas instead
And watched the moments
Filled with playful laughter
Peachy smiles
Lingering gaze
Warm caress
Unfold lazily between us
The winds of time
May have blown us miles apart
Our footprints may have long eroded
That sunlit canopy may have withered
And we may walk that trail
Only in our dreams
But those words are yet to fade
they were the voice of our soul
Etched into the lap of nature
And as I run my fingers along its rugged edges
I reminisce about you
And hope that wherever you are
You are thinking about me too

Sometimes I dream about you
And I can see your bright eyes
Twinkling and beckoning me to come home
The cool breeze playing with your hair
Wisps of caramel brown curls caressing your forehead
And the blazing sun beating down upon your tanned shoulders
As I steal multiple glances to admire
The outline of those round rippling muscles
But something doesn't feels real
And when i try to touch you
You disappear without a whisper
That's when I feel the sharp sun piercing my skin
The reality set in as Im forced to open up my eyes
How desperately I cling on to the hope of 'us' again
Under the same sky
Breathing the same air
Just to sooth the ceaseless ache in my chest
A neverending anticipation
Deliberately ignoring the fact that you're obscured under a new wind
And blissfully painted a place anew for yourself
In a horizon
Far away
