I can’t remember,
the day you held my hand,
at the parking lot,
did a lot and we tried to stop,
was i distracted by the heavy rain,
or was it your presence?
overwhelmed,
panicked,
scared,
so i pulled my hand,
when really,
it was what i was dying for.

had a feeling for a girl,
and that was it.
new faces bring familiar effect,
but never as extraordinary.

she is still next to me in all of them.

and as if I couldn’t get any dumber,
it was your face,
that I think about,
when the subject of love and affection came.

that wasn’t love, love.
i know there are still pieces of me,
screaming,
crying,
and sometimes, yes
they whisper,
softly and dearly,
trying to manipulate me,
trying to tell me,
that it was indeed love.
but you were right.
it wasn’t love.
and i have come to understand it.

All l need right now is you
But you're not here
Will you be here soon?

All of this feels strange and untrue,
but here I'm am in Chicago winters with you.
Where windows oversee the frozen lake
And snow glows on streets at daybreak,
As we sit in front of the fireplace,
blankets covering us as on your
arm I lay my face.
From now on I'm gonna write about places I wanna travel once Corona fades.
Broken poetries
Confused soliloquies
Unsent letters
Unexpressed behaviors

Divided heart
Unfinished art
Terrible voices
Worthless pieces

Sleepless nights
Nostalgic bites
Broken dreams
Unexplored whims

And a collection of regrets
That left permanent twinges.
A slow,
pain-absorbent
Difficult,
depressing moment
There's not much to expect
But to wait
when it will end
when is your end.
I'd rather
Be extinct in an instant,
expire abruptly
Than decay
and lose hope.
