You, Everywhere

One sided love has been romanticized too much by people.

You form a weird dependency on the person;

If they've had a good day, then no matter how exhausted you were it changes your mood in a heartbeat, if it was bad you feel the world falling on top of you too.

I know you'll never reciprocate all the feelings i have, you shouldn't be forced to. Yet a big part of me hopes that one day you see how much I suffer on the daily.

You're the only person who's unmuted in my dms list, I find myself dropping whatever I'm doing to reply to your msg in seconds, you then proceed to leave me on sent for another 2 hours.

I watch reels of these couples who've achieved everything in life, and i see our faces superimposed on them.

I'm completely aware of how unhealthy this is for me, and I know I can't let it continue. Yet a part of me yearns for that connection, hopes that one day you will change your mind and look at me how I see you everyday.

It kills me a bit everytime you mention some other guy(even if he's fictional, yes), but I'll allow it since it makes your eyes light up, also because I'm not allowed to say anything.

You can unload every emotion you've felt on me, I'll be your rock to rely on, even during times I feel like shit myself. I cannot let you be depressed, no?

I've always been an atheist, scoffing at superstitions, yet you're my 11:11 wish. I read your horoscope before I get to mine. The face I see in the flame of birthday candles.

I look for ways to distract myself, but deep in my heart, there's only you, always has been you.

Floating

One step ahead and two backwards

I float around the street

The cat seems funky

The shop too small

I laugh at all things simple

And then I fall

The world looks bleak

All hope is lost

Everyone is dying

My efforts, useless

Maybe I should end it all?

Messing around with my people

Room full of smoke

I'll quit it all tomorrow

Under control I have it all

(Or so I think?)

Too tired to get up

Breathing too heavy

I'll quit it all tomorrow

Or so I hope

Constant sighs of disappointment

And anger heard all around

An escape is what I need right now

Their opinions matter?

What a fucking joke

Just me and my friends

We'll stand against the world

Dust the ash off

Fill up my glass again

On top of the globe

Who'll stand in my way?

I'll quit it all today

Said this to myself too many times

My chest hurts and head aches

No tears left to cry

What have I become

A husk of my former self

I can't live on like this

Should I just let it all end?

Unchanged

The cold December winds whip around

Lashing around my face

Like blades,

Slicing across my cheeks

The year has almost ended

Yet my mirror still shows

The same person.

Enchanted

Every time I hear your voice

My heart skips a beat

Butterflies prance through

My head turns to find the source

Of this tune

That has me shivering in bliss

Every time I look into your eyes

I shiver ever so slightly

The embarassment too much to handle

Do I look away?

Or do I lose myself within those

Shining amber eyes?

Every time our hands brush

If even for a fraction of a second

At no other time have I felt greater joy

My breathing quickens

You may even notice it sometimes

For I see a slight blush creeping up

Your porcelain cheeks

Oh love, how do I ever get it across to you

You are the answer to my existence.

Stifled

Sunlight shines through the windows

Clouds roll about

High in the sky

Why am I to suffer

In this closed room

My breath stifled

I sit here

Surrounded by geniuses

And idiots alike

Whispers from all around trickle into my ears

While the man in white paces around

Occasionally peering into

The blank notebooks we hold

I wish to break free from here

To draw a long breath of air so fresh

It draws away the foggy veils

Covering my mind

I wish to skip around green gardens

Climb high trees

Experience all that the wonderful world

Has to offer

For me

Grand scenarios pile up

Like untouched textbooks in my room

Oh how I wish to be liberated

Like the pigeons flying by

I Hope This Reaches You One Day

I fell in love with you for your little quirks. Everything that makes you feel out of place, only made you more unique in my eyes.

You were the most silent person in our class, yet we would talk for hours when you get home about how you hated that one teacher or how you couldn't get your homework done.

In my eyes you're the most beautiful girl I've ever seen, even today when we don't talk to each other anymore, I find myself asking your friends about your whereabouts.

What we had was special; different from the classical romance you see in movies, there were no great adventures to go on or grand tales to tell. It was far more peaceful, far more quiet, like the gentle caress of a passing breeze.

You have moved on in life and found someone else. So have I, but I still can't help think about you on rainy winter nights.

Crossroads

We meet again

At these crossroads

Silent, we look into each other's eyes

Memories flash by as a gentle breeze

Yet we remain as statues

Uttering perhaps

Only a gentle murmur

This may be the last time I see you

Look into your hazel brown eyes

Deep as an ocean, unfathomable

We continue our own ways

For life is but a huge play

And we are mere clowns

And thus

All we can do is

Dance along

To the eternal marching

Of time

And slowly rot away

Never to be

Remembered again

The skies coloured a tinge of red,

Above the battlefield

Reminiscent of the blood,

Scattered beneath

The tree laden with dead leaves

Sways slowly as the cool autumn winds hit,

The soldiers couldn't help but shiver,

Is all they've fought for, merely a joke?

The soldiers glanced upwards, instinctively

As the evening sun offered warmth

The emperor back in his castle, sipping hot tea

Gleeful for he won the war, the territory,

The barren wasteland covered with the blood of civilians,

Brushing these thoughts aside, they stood

And stared into the distance, thinking,

Was all the bloodshed,

The tears and the sweat

Really worth it?

Back at the village, where the commoners lived

Bright red roses were gently placed on the soldiers,

The martyrs,

The commoners with great dreams and promises,

The question rang in their minds,

Was everything worth it?

It slowly turns dark

As the grand moon rises,

Let the men catch their breath and sleep sound

Or will the night be merciless

And not spare them a moment of tranquility?
