ineffable
notapoet Jul 2024
you are ineffable
too great or extreme to be expressed
or described in words
that's what you are to me
in one word
ineffable

sun
you're like the sun
i can't touch you
i can't get close to you
so i just
look at you from afar
and hope you continue to shine
as bright as you always do
just so i can see you
everyday
and admire your light

day 2: no contact
notapoet Jul 2024
as the birds start singing
my hands automatically
search for my phone
to see no texts from you

it's been awhile since
i cried in the morning
i don't like it
i hope i don't cry again

...

before i give in to the tiredness
of my overworked eyes
from looking through our pictures
memories we took, as i usually do

i wonder what you're doing
how you're feeling,
have you eaten ?
are you thinking of me ?

these past few nights
have been the hardest for me
the quietness of my room
without you is amplified
i find myself replaying memories
like it's a movie in my head
cherishing and remembering
the good times we had,
while questioning to myself
"what went wrong"
sleep becomes both an escape
and torture
as dreams of you often brings you
back to life, back to me
in my arms
only for the harsh reality
to hit harder upon waking up
the remnants of your touch
still lingers on my body
even if it has been months
from being touched by you

detached
notapoet Jul 2024
the distance between us grow further
the words we speak grow shorter
our conversations, once a flowing river
now it's barely a trickle

i remember when we'd talk for hours
now silence fills the spaces
texts from you make my heart soar
but it's quiet now, like a door without a door

i wonder about your day, thoughts, dreams
but asking feels like a shout
are you drifting away ? or am i ?
our connection once so strong, now is weak

i miss you so much, your laugh, your smile
the way you'd talk about things you love
now, each word feels measured
as if our time together is faltering

yet hope lingers in my heart, stubborn
that we might find our way back
for love, tested by time and distance
can bridge any gap, if we give it a chance

so i'll hold onto our memories
hoping this silence is a phase
for even in this quiet, lonely space
my heart still beats for you

as i have said a million times
i will say it a million times again
i love you wholeheartedly
you're my soulmate

the little things that we had
become the most poignant reminders
your favourite songs
pictures of us
the places that we have been
places we made lovely memories
stumbling upon inside jokes
jokes that i can never share
with you anymore
the scent of your perfume
the things you've given me
most of all
i catch myself reaching for my phone
to text you about something funny
or interesting, hoping you'd laugh to it
only to remember
you won't be replying to it
as quick as you did

day 4: no contact
notapoet Jul 2024
living life without you
is much harder than i thought
you infiltrate my head
each and every day

even when i try my hardest
to distract myself
from the thought of you
my mind still let you in

maybe it's habit
because in reality
you never left
you've been a part of me

ever since you came into my life

all i want
notapoet Jul 2024
maybe all i wanted
was for you to say
"i'm proud of you baby"

you don't know how
those words
can guide me out
out of my busy mind

your voice
guides me to serenity
your touch is the closest thing
to being touched by an angel

yet here you are again
in my mind
making me sob and cry
over nothing

— The End —
