How She Wants to Be Remembered

With one last look,

She smiled,

And was gone.

Knots

It Starts on the Inside

I'm a broken person
And you're in my tears.

Devilish Charms

Your eyes draw me in like an interesting book,
A ship coming ashore, the anchor tossed into my heart,
My soul you took with just one look,
From you I'd never want to part.

Haunted

It's already been a year.
Yet your image still haunts me.
The memories of you still stalk me.

The lovers holding hands,
looking at the setting sun,
knowing that at least for another day,
that their love will live.
I look at the setting sun,
and know that our love has already died,
died out before the sun.

In the end, I can sing every single song,
I heard on the radio
The songs we used to dance to,
now metamorphized
into the saddest songs I have ever heard.

And I cry.

That Moment In Time When You Gazed at Me

Making sense of chaotic thoughts
Are you inserting hidden messages into my thoughts?
And I think if I spoke that moment in time,
You'd hear awkward speech
Would you have kissed my embarrassment away?
Would you have hugged my fears away?
No, I will not forget
The way you paced the floor
Each step a butterfly effect
Sending electricity my way
And for that moment in time
When you looked at me,
That crystal grain of sand
Stopped mid-air
In the hourglass.

Love from a Distance

Show me the secret
Give me the manual
Tell me the directions
Teach me the ways
To elicit a smile on your face
To get your attention
To make you notice me.

One Soul

Who am I without you, stranger?

Invisible You

I reach out
For your hands
Only to grab thin air

You lean in
To kiss me
It linger like perfume

I fall back
But I fell right through you
Broken trust

Your voice
Echo in the silence
But I can't find you

I see you in the mirror
I turn around
And you were gone

Like a ghost
Like dust in the wind
Gone with my heart

Impossible Love

You're always in my thoughts
Appearing in my dreams
The subject my wandering mind
Thinks of

But I'm realistic
Though my heart is aching
You and I
Are an impossible love

Last Night

I am lying wide awake
A pair of headphones on my head
Emitting our song

My room is dark
The only light
Coming from my laptop

Illuminating my world
At this moment
And you're all I can see

Insomnia

I am so tired
But why can’t I
Keep my eyes shut?

I guess I need you here
I guess I’m afraid
Once I fall asleep,
My senses will fall into a coma

And I can’t feel you anymore.

Even though dreams
Are made of gold
Alluring and desirable

But there’s always a chance
That all I’ll see is darkness
And I can’t find you
And I’m scared I’ll lose my way

What if I don’t wake from this sleep?

So here I am
Lying fatigued and conscious
Dreaming of memories
Instead of mysteries

And maybe then
My mind will trick me
Into seeing you

Before my eyes

Writer's note: I'm sure we all experienced it, where this person is just so fixated on our minds that sleep is sacrificed.
