Your eyes,
Home for a universe

Your smile,
Festival within that home.

I was asked-
What is hope?

I replied-
HOPE
It is like
A ray of light
In darkness,
A friend
In loneliness,
A drop of water
In desert,
A snowflake
That gently falls on you—
Fragile, yet magical.

I saw you
Shining so brightly
Like the star you were
Born to be

I walked always behind you
Not beside you
Hoping you'd turn and see-
See me
The way I see you

You are the star
I am just a fan
Lost in your light

I admired you
I always loved you
I was always grateful to you
I became your shadow
Everyone loves you
You love everyone
Except me
We share the same blood
Yet you see my like a project
Am i that unloveable
I want to be seen
To be loved
To be cared for
At least once

I just want to run away
To a place
Where I can never see my family

The sun asked the moon-
When can we meet again
The moon replied
Be patient my love
For stars must whisper and shadows bend,
Till eighteen months bring our moment again.

I saw a palace
Beautiful on the outside
Rotting in the inside
Who must have thought
Walked in straight
With no fright
No regret
Ignoring the telltales
Must have been blind

Now the only option left-
To **** myself
or to die
