it's just that when i love something, i love it loud and i love it long. i've never figured out the halfway of it - when i hold something, i let it scar me.

Wasted

There are days like this, where

everything crumbles around you

(un)knowing why, and you try

to stand tall, which doesn't

always work, but you

force yourself, you recount your age,

you miss someone with no flesh or face,

you ask them - why don't you hurry up?

while there's still life, why don't you

hurry up? we'll soon have time

for nothing, and we're

already late.

Some things are not

written in poems, like -

waiting is love

that you waste.
