Little thingsThat lovers doThat you dontRip out my heart. Small wordsAre big gesturesThat you wontStop tearing apart. It’s just timeTo end the hurt‘Cause you wontEver love me how l love you. It’s too lateFor goodbyes. And yet here it is. © M.H.

I am not afraidOf the controlYou have over me.I crave it,Like your breath in the dark. I am not afraidOf the emptydays without you.I need them,To re-ignite our spark. I am not afraidOf the silence,All the dead time.I fill it,With imagining your touch. What I am afraid ofAre the promisesThat you’ve broken. What I amContinue reading “AFRAID”

YesterdayBefore you turned your eyes to meAnd you never spoke of love to meI never believedIn destiny. YesterdayBefore I knew what love could beThere was no joy in life I could seeI always believedIn futility. YesterdayBefore today, where would I beWaiting for something to come fill meI couldn’t believeYour love for me. But now IContinue reading “YESTERDAY (BELIEF)”
