Every time we walked past each other,
My eyes would trade glances with hers.
"What are the chances?" I'd wonder,
Each time, it ends the way it occurs.

I acted like I didn't notice,
And so did you.
But inside I dreamt of moments,
Of us—do you?

For you and I are no longer,
Like rivers flowing to the same sea.
But I won't go against the currents,
And blame the tide for leaving me.

Growing by the hour,
Smelling like heaven came true.
Love is like a flower,
Flowers I'd give to you.

But I loved a flower so much,
I forgot to care for my own.
Dreamed about its perfect petals,
While mine rotted all alone.

Stared up at the celling,
And then down at my phone.
Don't know what I'm feeling,
Guess it's better than none.

And yes, I am happy,
No, I'm not alone.
Academic achiever,
That's for what I'm known.

But why, then, do I feel,
So pointless inside?
Like a single ember,
In the vastness of skies?

Stared out the window,
And then up at the sky.
Can't see what's up there,
Guess I'm losing my mind.

Some nights, the stars feel closer,
Than the people in your life.
Nights in which I lie under,
Neither people nor their eyes.

Some nights, the moon feels dimmer,
Than the night in which she lies,
When people feel as distant,
As the stars that light the sky.

Some nights, I find myself reaching,
In the darkness, to the stars.
Some nights, I lie wondering,
Why they're close, yet so far.

aimlessly

into the void.



wonder

what could be

in the shadows?



nothing

everything

all that he wants?



maybe

possibly

he needs to know.



it's so

inviting

can he resist?



oh no,

it's got him,

he won't fight back.

out into

forever dark...



drifting

out into

oblivion.
