I can still feelÂ
Your fingertips
Grace my neck softly
But like some poisons
You workedÂ
Slowly and effortlesslyÂ
To infect meÂ
With a swift touch
And leave meÂ
Emptier than before
Category: Poems
every time I fall in loveÂ
with the sounds of gentle rainÂ
meeting my window in the night
i’m reminded of the times
my tears never reached your heart
because you saw through me like glass
tell me, did my storms calm you?
while I cried softly in the breeze
to soothe you, you were often forgetting
that you slept during moments of my pain
do you think of me?
when she wraps herself around you
bringing what you think are
similar sensationsÂ
of love and worship
you know her moans
do not float like mine
but you’ll pretend for a night
that she crashes like the waves
my oceans used to give to you
I was always told to fight
fire with fire.
That was until I met water.
I, a raging flame,
smothered by a liquid.
Yet I continue to burn in embers,
and water continues to
drown my colors of red.
You held onto my heart
With restraints on my mind
Sparked a war in my head
And wounded what’s mine
While holding me down
With the passage of time
I learned to move on
And embrace my divine
I ran my fingers through your hair
Like the pages of a good book
My body folded under the intimacy
As I craved to be a part of your storyline
When love reaches your doorstep
Do not run away
For even the most tainted hearts
Need to be taught how to love
Release
It was an interesting feeling
Releasing the weight of trauma and sorrow
But also feeling more of the weight than ever before
Maybe because I was more aware it enabled me to feel more
How interesting it is that while I find my happiness
I am also feeling exponential sadness
Exhausted
Feel me through my words
For I am too tired
To reach out a helping hand
My soul is resting
For I am too burdened
To give you what is mine
Remember me in thought
For I am too tainted
To continue down this path
And just like that
Your lips became
The most familiar touch
That was so far away
What's Mine Is Yours
