still you.
ㅤㅤ
You have brought me a thousand heartbreaks,
left me bleeding with a plethora of bruises,
yet, without the sickening sensation of loving you,
i am nothing but a barren land, itching for a shower,
nothing but a writer, with a garden of raging flames.

I have a mountain of letters, written solely for you, never to be sent out, because in there are words, better left unsaid, and a mirage of the whirlpool of my emotions, that shouldn't have ever surfaced. In all my lies and facades, I have loved you and even if I claimed to have not, you are the one I would watch the world burn for.

With every nasty breathe I would take, I will forever be enslaved by the possibility of us, even if you would end up, whispering the name of another. I would watch you walk away, with the tears of a lifetime, wilt away under the absence of your touch, but unloving you would never be an answer to my heartache. After all, you're too deeply engraved in my being— we are entwined, even if it's something both of us chose to discard.

I will compose you songs,
and the melodies would so dearly whisper,
your name in the wind,
and every line of the lyrics,
would decipher the depth of my feelings.

But I hope you never see through, this ugly obsession of mine that people dared named love. Let me love you like a secret love song, with hidden names, allow me to talk about you to the moon and bask in all her glory. For I'm sure the lone light in the abyss understands, what it means to love someone, who I could never call mine. Let me hide away this hideous sin, I would commit for a lifetime.

You would soon leave, while I lay in the rain, soaking wet with the sparks of my teenage love. Because it's the fate of every unrequited love, to burn and to die until the blue of the sky turns pitch black. But even in my last breathes, I would rather whisper your name than anyone else's. And in all the multitude of shades, I love you like how the moon, loves the dying sun.

A shaky breathe I take, with a step back,
I set out on a journey, and a dam broke,
I'm now forever lost in this unknown sea,
I would never find my way back to you.

Apologies spill from my lips like a broken plea,
but I had to leave you, before it swallowed me whole,
and drowning alone seemed a lot better,
than in your presence.
