Will you love me,
Or hate me?

Will you smile at every text,
Or block me out of regret?

Will you think of me fondly,
Or try to forget?

Will you walk alongside me proud,
Or avoid me out of embarrassment?

Will my touch turn you on,
Or make you recoil with disgust?

Am I someone you could love?
Or is it over,
Before it ever begun?

They said I never worried them, I always had my way,
A steady hand, a fearless face to guide me through each day.
But what looked like unshakable pride was loneliness inside,
A strength so loud it hid the times I only wished to hide.

I carried weight so perfectly, no one thought to ask,
If I was tired, if I broke, behind the polished mask.
For being “capable” has a cost too heavy to ignore—
You’re everyone’s safe harbor, yet left longing for much more.

So strength became my armor, my survival, my disguise,
But underneath, I craved a hand, a softness in the eyes.
A walking shell,
Wielding a partial heart.

Words torment,
His beautiful mind.

Your love,
Once his oxygen.
He's now gasping for air.

His confidence,
Is naught.

Mirrors,
Reflect only his faults.

Insanity,
Repetition of the impossible.

So let me love you.

While you dismantle my soul,
Once more.

I’ve seen her once in shattered dreams,
A flicker drowned in silent screams.
She passed me by—untouched, unknown,
Yet carved her name into my bone.

She never looked, she never saw
The way her absence split my jaw.
I stitched her face from scraps of air,
And filled the gaps with quiet prayer.

She was never mine—
Not even close.
But something in her
Felt like home.

I don’t know her,
Not the way I need.
But still she haunts
My every plead.

She walks through me in every crowd,
Too bright, too soft, too far, too loud.
I memorized the way she breathes
Though she’s never even spoken to me.

I’ve built a shrine from passing glances,
A temple forged from phantom chances.
One smile and I’d lose my mind—
But she keeps her gaze,
And leaves me blind.

If she knew—
Would she run?
Would she scream?
Would she come undone?

She isn’t mine.
She never will be.
But still I wait
Where no one sees me.

I never touched her...
But some nights,
I still wake up
smelling her on my hands.
Her lips still burn on my neck.

She breathes through the cracks in me.
She dances in static and screen glow.
She’s never come home—
but I never let her go.
She leaves a trail of broken glass in my head—so I follow it barefoot, like an idiot in love.
If you wear my grip,
As a necklace.

I'll wear your scratches,
As tattoos.

Your thighs,
Painted with bruises.

My shoulders,
Flesh torn from bites.

Your hair,
Nested with knots.

My lip,
Swollen and bleeding.

I'll feel you tighten,
You'll feel me empty.

Well record it,
In our minds.

Us loving,
And hating.

At the same time.
A poem from a broken mind.
If we are to end,
Let my love feed your plants.

Let my tears soak their soil,
Absorb every drop.

I'll trade a memory,
For a tear.

With each tear,
Sprouts a new leaf.

I'll continue remembering you,
Until your beautiful flowers bloom.

A poem from a fractured mind.
Oxygen is hard to gather,
But the air whispers sweet songs.

The city lights blur,
A mass of colour.

My years of memories,
Remembered in a mere 12 seconds.

Your tears,
Racing against the rain.

The feeling of weightlessness,
The irony.

The world grows larger,
With each inch the I plummet.

We trade glances,
Your eyes filled with care and compassion.

A beautiful smile,
As birght as the stars above.

Your loving hands,
Holding my wax wings.

A poem from a fractured mind
Sometimes
You’re the heavy rain
that ends the thirst and drought.
Sometimes you’re the ocean
between the waves.
Sometimes
You’re the sunrise
That breaks the night.

Sometimes

You’re the train that never arrives.
Thoughts this morning. Feedback is appreciated.
Instruct me.

Teach me to love you,
In the ways that you want.

Whisper the words,
Of which you want me to speak.

Guide my hands,
To where you'd like their prints.

Focus my eyes,
On where to undress you.

Cover me in clay,
Mold me to your perfection.

The art of loving you.

I'll graduate with honours,
Straight A's in every lesson.
