it’s after midnight
an old flame flickers alive
i try to blow it out
but it clings to the dark
again, i try
again, it stays
is there no end to this?
the flame burns on
while i burn away inside

dozens of failed relationships
countless teardrops, going breathless
when will love find me
must I chase, or must I flee
I yearn for love
— to find me
ηfornachos Jun 2023
I wish you were near me
with me
anywhere we could be

Leave it to the what-ifs
what could have been
what may have been

None other than my love
to endure in silence unseen

Why do we desire for the love that’s not ours?
For you belong to her.
And I belong to him.
Only to bind ourselves in between.
ηfornachos Jun 2022
We yearn for all the things,
people and places
that don’t belong to us.
Yet, my heart still yearns for you.

As you lay next to your lover
I can’t help but to wonder
Am I in your dream, do I occur?
Or are you unable to remember,
Shoving our memories in the gutter?

Love, your ex-lover.
ηfornachos Feb 2022
After all these years
Questioning myself, yet again
Was it my love you’re after?
Or was it lust you desire?
In the end, we’re just not meant
To be happily ever after
