scarlet love

I don’t think I can make you believe

That we are worth it

I never wanted to hurt anyone

I just want to be happy

But our happiness

Is someone else’s pain.

I’ll never be the person who stayed

Because I can’t

And you are the only person who can leave

Because I know she can’t

I love you.

I love you more than…

A lightyear.

Tomorrow.

Today.

Please believe like I do

Let everything fall in all the wrong places

We are meant to be lost.

As faint as our hearts,

Believe we’ll be together

Someday.

love on the other side

somebody else's

The spaces between you

The afternoon sun

Beguiling looks on your face

Drowning in pretense

To be happy just being near you

Something’s always wrong

Lingering glances

Your solitary fingers

Reeling in my mind

I’m somebody else, your somebody else’s

Do you know what I want?

We are two empty seats

In the farthest row of the theater

Static yet profound

Overwhelmingly ignored

I don’t want us to be a great story

Just keep me up ‘til 4 in the morning

And kiss me in puns and whims

Crooked smiles, silly excuses

My terrible poetry

Your quaint retorts

Time is nothing but time

Say good morning, say good night

In a parallel universe,

I’ll love you, you’ll love me

Say goodbye.

in this sea of people, drown me in your love

skylines

I wrote you

Insanely sweet letters

You’ll never be able

To read.

I talked about you

In adjectives, in puns,

In metaphors.

You greet me

With a smile,

I smile back at you.

Nothing is more unsure

Than us.

Everything lies in hopes,

In dreams that

Have long died.

You live in reality

And I desperately

want to be

a part of it,

to be a part of you.

I love you.

I tried to

Remember your face

And forget your smile.

Maybe

I’ll never be able to

But at least,

I tried.

I've always wanted to watch the skyline with you.

Dearest Darling

Dearest Love,

You were never expected but you happened

Against my better judgment,

I saw you written all over me.

Though I ardently tried to stay inside the lines

I knew then you were bound to be a halo in disguise.

How could I give up something I never had?

Between the placid and the lurid, you were a mistake;

That you’d never be more than a stranger

And my shabby heart wouldn’t find novel ways

To hurt itself yet again.

Dearest Darling,

How can we ever veer away from this mess?

Amid this hearth, we pray for a vision

To know what lies ahead and catch up with reality

We knew it was wrong but everything was obstinately blissful

 You were never really a choice; but in the end I was.

Did you ever think that I would fall into your dreams

Did you ever dream that you would fall into my arms?

Did you ever think that we could be?

In one way or another, in a world of our own

At least we were once happy.

  

 

uh-oh. not again.
