Oh lover

                                
                                          
        Our love was parasitism. 
You benefited while you harmed me.
You left my heart hanging from a rope as a lifeless body would. 
   Maybe I could heal, maybe I should.
Did you ever love me as much as you could? 
                 My heart burns.
                 Burns like wood. 
This limerence consumed me whole.
Consumed my heart. 
Consumed my mind. 
And soon there was nothing left to say. 
Nothing to bind. 
I’ll have to live without you by my side. 
it was as if I got caught in a riptide. 
I told you my truth.
You sighed.

Hidden

I kept it hidden 
When I knew it was forbidden 
I regret it I swear 
Being ignored by you 
Is hard to bear 
Our love is not perfect 
But we should always try 
I’m sorry I lacked 
I don’t want to leave 
I don’t want to pack 
Push and shove 
No attack 
Forgive me my love 
My knowledge is yours forever 
I promise I’ll do better 
For you and for me 
Watch and you will see 
who I can really be 
It’s been strange 
like seeps of forest you can see 
but the rest is hidden 
Only explorers can find 
You’ve explored me 
saw every crevice of my soul 
and yet I kept it hidden 
like I was forbidden 
forbidden from you 
but how could I be? 
when all I am is nothing without you.
