Toska

Toska
BY:KHANYA

an immense ache for nothing and everything 
all at once 
An anguish from the bottom of the heart 
and yet how can one star shine 
without being bright
when it has lost its light 
so i kept mine in deeper darkness of the lonely night 
knowing the world made me so fragile 
i chose to hide all the feelings burning inside 
what good would it bring me if i chose to cry 
so just let me be that guy 
The one known to hide , bottling everything inside 
and inside that bottle is everything you’ll find 
behind every scar given by life 
what happened to the heart that had every smile 
instead of burdens washed down by the river sorrow 
and how can i borrow 
one’s smile without it leaving me hollow 
the chest tightens up 
the airway so narrow 
making it so hard to breath 
and yet i still believe someday my heart will bleed 
again 
till it can no longer hold so much pain

A piece to heart

A piece to heart 
BY:KHANYA

ive found my own,
alone 
leaving my heart in shambles dark in the cold
as i was told,
that love is a place where you’d find peace and 
yet i believed otherwise because i was crossed so many 
times 
but this time i thought of you and i wanted 
nothing but to be loved by you 
to be seen , understood and yet, words and their meanings could never define 
a soul so divine and at that time i knew 
the world was mine and yet so fine
i fell in love with you before i touched you 
somehow i was touched by the soul that attracted 
mine into deeper depths of human invention 
not knowing you would be mine to mention 
and yet your beauty covers every interaction 
ive had with any human
feeling they’ll never be worth my attention 
and you had fixed me ,
i the walking contradiction 
and yet one text from you pulls my heart a step
closer to my chest like some force of attraction 
i love you and yet love is just an understatement 
until i find the correct replacement 
so for now i’ll accept that my soul falls deeper for you 
every second of the day
