I fancied the structures
Of bridges I should've burned
That was until I learned
How fun it is to play with fire

Pieces
I loved you in ways
I couldn't explain
Every piece of my soul
Longed for you
But you ripped me apart
While holding my heart
Left me empty
And broken in two
Memory
I have accepted that I am a memory.
And as a memory, I will no longer physically enter your life. Every gentle touch I graced you with will slowly fade into a simple remembrance of lust. Every picturesque moment of me dragging my fingers across your skin, softly kissing your neck, and whispering secrets to you in the isolated presence of our scars. All of this will be but a flash of the past, a dream that will soon become so faint you will be taunted with the idea of a nightmare.
However, be careful, for this is not a photo you can keep. This is not a book that I will allow you to store on a shelf, only to eventually forget about. I will continue to allow this memory to form it’s rightful infection.
I am but a memory, but you will always remember me.
Coffee Stains
Gentle music bounces off brick walls as I sip notes of cocoa and cinnamon from a hot cup of freshly brewed coffee. I brought my MacBook with me to this coffee shop but odds are I will do what I normally do, opening the screen to look inconspicuous but really spending my time bewildered by those around me. I’m always distracted by the energy that surrounds other people.
This time it’s a couple cozied up on the distressed couches placed in the corner by large windows. A man endearingly gazes at, who I assume is, his girlfriend next to him. Examining the expressions on her face and seemingly in bliss, she catches these stares after tasting one of the shops homemade muffins. She pinches his arm in what looks to be an expression of embarrassment for him having witnessed her messy eating, and he soon after, kisses her forehead.
Unaware of the world around them, both immersed in the aura and presence of the other. What a way to be in love.
Fake
You were always my favorite
My preferred however
In a fabricated reality
We were never meant to touch
Control Me
I built an entire world
I placed a home for you to reside in
And for some reason you still envied
All prior lands I lent to others
You seemingly never realized
That the small patches of grass I grew
Were a precursor to the beautiful fields
I once wanted you to own
Assumptions
Lingering in silence
But you wish to be heard
Expecting the best
Without speaking a word
I cannot read your mind
Darling please help me learn
I may mirror your pain
But assumptions leave burns
Yes or No
Color me
Surprised
You only love in
Black or White
Forgiveness
Truth be told
I could learnt to forgive you
But right now
I'm having too much fun
Let Me In
Let love into your life
In whatever form
In whatever way
I promise you
No matter the ending
That love will change you
In the best way possible
What's Mine Is Yours
