There’s an ache

where my limbs have crumbled

like ancient architect against time,

Your caress

the glue

that keeps me from receding to dust,

The ground quakes

I falter

but remain solidified in concrete,

My structure

is no longer

loosely encrusted,

I am rebuilt

upon the ashes

of the person I used to be.

Renewed

Cheers!

Cheers to the couple we haven’t become

To all the sex we haven’t had

To all the moments we didn’t share

To all the love we withheld

Cheers to us, my dear

To our constant absence

To our parallel lives

To our one-sided love

Cheers, let’s raise a glass

To the choices we made

To the risks we didn’t take

To the people we couldn’t be

Cheers and let’s celebrate

The end of what never begun

The tears for what never was

The heartbreak without the love story

Confess!

Confess your love

Tell me now, today

Don’t keep it in

Don’t hide it

Let me feel it under my skin

Let me see into your soul

I wanna know

Confess it all

Right now, don’t wait

Pour it on me at once

Let it burn from inside out

Let it be part of the air around me

Confess it all

Exist with me

Give me something real

Something I can hold on to

Gravity

Density

Anything other than silence

Don’t let it die inside you

Unnoticed

One-sided

Unimportant

Confess!

Muffled Scream

Overflow of pain

Leaking through my pores

Consuming my every thought

I'm trapped inside myself

Claustrophobic

Scratching my way out

Muffled scream

Storm of emotions

All at once

Streaming in and out

No pause, no stop

Eyes shut

Missing out

On a world without me

Standing still

Broken

Shattered dreams

Hopeless

Vacuum

Broken kisses

There's no heart left to break

Just turn around and go away

Forget my name, forget my face

Linger on someone else's dream

Go disappoint some other fool

Charm someone new

And stop at once

Stop for good

No more in between romance

No more meaningless sex

No more neither here or there

I've had enough

Selective memory

Fragmented emotions

Broken kisses

My heat can't defrost you

My waves can't rock you

Time to play another song

Time to heal without you

To skip the bridge

To take another turn

Off you go, now

And just you stay there

I'll go back to nowhere

I’ve Been Robbed

I’ve been robbed of a life

Historically and systematically

I’ve been fed lies and illusions

And my battles scars are too many

for me to ever be whole again

I’ve been robbed of a dream

Of a just, loving world

Accepting of my minority

Inclusive and kind

Of kisses that can truly heal

I’ve been robbed of a love

Unconditional and generous

Present, with air in between

Equal in every single way

A love all mine, to keep inside my skin

And I’m not a victim and I am a victim

Of a loud privilege trying to be muffled

Of other lives, better lives, intersected

Happening all around me everywhere I go

Laughing lightly without the weight of this world

Resting in soft hands of un-soldiers

Shout in the dark

When the cry is heavy on my throat

And when the tears greet my cheek

Just be near, be here

Hold me tight in your arms

Rock me to sleep

Kiss my forehead

Silence is just fine

Make mistakes, with me

Make me laugh, be silly

Make me love you

Stay

Show up, cancel your plans

Surprise me, be spontaneous

Be fearless, open your heart

And my loneliness won't be so loud

And my world won't be an island

Take a chance, take a risk

Serve me your heart on a plate

Then be my dessert

And let this be my last request

My shout in the dark

My hopeless dream

Before reality bites

Before I realize

You're the reason I cry
