A day can drag on for a year
While a year can fly by in a day
Time itself
Is quite the anomaly

Skies are beautiful
They have clouds
But they still cry

Why wouldn't you?

You are beautiful
You have poems
You can cry too
Because crying is honesty to your emotions, and honesty is beautiful ;)
lemon queen, lemon queen
greatest beauty ever seen
how does it feel to be
on the end of your rope?

lemon queen, lemon queen
too far gone to still believe
there is anything left
except for hope
I’m sorry.
My beautiful stanzas,
For not keeping in touch with you.
Somewhere along the way
I abandoned you.
And never wrote back.

I’m sorry.
My sweet verses
I have not forgotten you.
I have only forgotten the feelings in you.
And my heart can't bear to remember.

I’m sorry.
Meaningless Haikus.
I thought I could make some sense out of you.
But I will always be a few words away
from finishing you.

I’m sorry.
Untitled works.
You are amazing.
But I couldn’t give you what you deserved.
I left you raw.
Unpolished.
Unfinished.

I’m sorry.
That I scroll past you.
That I am to forgetful to finish you.
But to proud to erase you.

I’m sorry.
That while you remain
unfinished and unpublished.
I continue giving birth to
New works and
New ideas.

I will finish you one day.
Not today.
Not now.
But someday.
And until that day,

I’m so sorry.
It's not you, it's me.
It's definitely me.
Lost in this place,
Born into the wrong time; a time I don't belong,
Always looking to the past,

Dreaming the same dream,
Holding you close,
Walking a golden path,

Snowing cherry blossoms,
On a warm spring day,
Rainbows shining brightly across an eastern sky,

Every night,
Stars remind me of you,
My only love,

The impossible love we once had,
The lover,
I would never forget,

You still hold my heart,
I left with you,
A thousand years past,

Waking lost without you,
Without dreams; I don't belong here, in this place.
No matter what I do, or where I go,

Looking and looking every day,
Can't find you; find the one dream I miss,
I wish would come true,

Where are you, my beautiful desire?
