He stabbed me in the back
And **** ***** me.

A lover?
No. Love itself.

one word from him
means so much more
than one hundred from you
// nothing to relive, its water under the bridge //

you are like an old book
one of my favorites
every once in a while, I need your comfort
I need to feel your creases
smell your smell
hear your words
but it always ends the same
and I know that

Dear lover
I regret to inform you that I cannot refer to you as my lover any longer.
Not for lack of wanting, but for lack of love
See, two people can be together without love
Two people start out without love and may progress into it
But that was never going to be the case for us.
I cannot refer to you as my lover because we are not lovers;
We may have *** but we do not make love
Because to make love you need to have love
Have the intention for love.
Love making makes love and love allows for love making.
Dear lover
I've realised now that you were never going to love me.
It was never in your intentions to love me
Nor to make love to me;
I can't even remember an instance when you called me lover.
Perhaps the name was implanted within me because I had the intention of love
I was ready for your love and love making
But you didn't want to write me any letters.
Dear lover
I regret to inform you that your lack of letters has meant I was unaware of your lack of intentions
And I fear I may have fallen
And might want to call you my lover forever
Signed, a lover of non existent letters.

Is it too much to ask
To be loved
Is it so hard
To show a little love
Is it too much to ask
To be accepted
Is it so difficult
To learn about existence
Is it too much to ask
To be honest
Or maybe it's just too easy
To live in denial

I seek no attention
Just a little affection
I'm not looking for fame
Just a little care to be tamed
Nor I want to be treated like a queen
Just equality to be seen

Now tell me
Is it too much to ask?

I am so tired of feeling so empty and with no home.
I've had so much given to me yet I can't but help to feel empty.
My family has always been there for me yet as I sit with them I feel so alone.
I don't connect with anyone ever.  
As I have become older the realization of how lonely existence truly is has just magnified.
I was a fool in thinking I would one day fill this void inside me with a friend or love interest.
I once knew Allah and felt such completeness.
When will I return?
Maybe once this day comes to pass I will feel whole.
My home might just not be in this Dunya.

I knew I was in love when I could see you inside a kaleidoscope.
Safe and sound was how I felt around you.
I had never felt such ease to welcome the next day as I did when you woke me.
You were so tender with me.
Your caresses were so healing.
I never knew a person could make an entire city that I knew into something so magical.
I've been searching for you all my life.
I am so grateful that I once was able to sit across from you.
To have my eyes blessed to look into your beautiful eyes.
Eyes with such kindness and a hint of sadness.
I recognized myself in you.
I knew I was in love when I saw you inside a kaleidoscope.

Dreaming

I wonder what you are doing.
Are you sleeping and if so are you dreaming?
Are you awake and if so are your thoughts drifting across state lines?
Either way I hope to meet you there.
Dreaming of oceans and stars with no end in sight.
Looking into each other's eyes grazing our hands down one another's face.
Feeling the gentle summer breeze.
Wondering how we managed not touching each other for so long.
Thoughts of what we didn't do in each other's presence.
All the words that should have been said.
Finally letting you know...
I was made from you.
We were created to understand miracles.
That flames indeed burn within.

Over
 Sep 2015 Liz M

I just can't anymore.
That's the truth.
I am so over the whole thing.
It's not you at all.
It's just me and my expectations.
I want to be free.
If you need something I will assist.
But who am I kidding when have I ever been any good.
I will disappear and no one will notice.
Why even bother?
Writing this is just a waste as well.
Nothing has meaning anymore.
I'm over it.
I need to be free.
I don't want to feel you anymore.

I'm so happy when I think of you!
You make my heart just soar.
To think a human being like you exists makes this tough world not so tough.
God really blessed me with you!
I didn't even know a love like this could exist.
My prayers for you are one of a kind.
I am envious of the walls that protect you and the people that get to see you.
What I would give to just be the air you breathe.
