In my daydreams

reality gently tugged 
at the edges of my daydream 
reminding me that he was miles away
yet in that moment
I knew that the distance between us 
was insignificant
for in my daydream
he was with me 
his presence as real 
as the beating of my heart 
and as I slowly returned
to the world outside my mind 
I couldn’t help but smile
knowing that I would carry him with me 
always in my daydreams 
and in my heart

Bittersweet

their love though unfulfilled 
became a beacon of hope 
in their lives
for in this beautiful tragedy
they discovered the depths 
of their immeasurable love
and perhaps just perhaps 
in another lifetime 
or a different world
they would be free to chase 
the love that had eluded them in this one 
until then
they remain two souls 
deeply in love but destined to dance 
on opposite sides of life’s bittersweet stage

Paper memories

paper memories 
fragile and timeless
hold the essence of our journey 
they are the faded love letters 
tucked away in a drawer
the ones I read
over and over again
just to replay your words
to smell the scent 
of each letter
hoping they will fill
the cracks in my broken heart
and I wish I could have
just one more moment with you
because I’d never let you go
again

A thousand burdens

parts of her still live
within that house
where stale smoke 
still lingers in every corner
like a hazy memory
those thin walls
conceal all her secrets 
from the prying eyes
of the world
old dirty floorboards 
hold all her tears
that she counts
one by one
inside the grooves
that they live in
it’s the weight
of a thousand burdens
that keep her chained there
and all she can do now
is close her eyes
and remember  
she doesn’t live there anymore
