spent wishing you were back here

in this bed again.

and do it while we make up
for time spent apart.

that were made for holding you
through the darkest nights.

leading a familiar dance;
your grin matching mine.

without a need for music;
this is our romance.

to make mountains on my skin,
to move me like this?

to when we were one atom

waiting to explode.

So many sunsets,
as unfinished memories,
spent watching alone.

Mornings in your arms,
not having to pull away,
like prayers answered.

These lonely bedsheets,
haunted by the reminders
of the love we made.

we tell the children we meet.
We are the magic.

make up for the lack of us,

hold me closer now.

to acknowledge the stillness
that lives around us.

Can you feel me ache

each time you get up to leave?

Will you ever stay?

My lips find their way
to yours in silent slumber.
You sigh dreamily.

Too often we think
our story doesn’t matter,
too often we’re wrong.
I wrote this haiku on the last day of the World Suicide Prevention Week ‘15. We cannot let this movement stop here. If you (or someone you know) are struggling, please reach out. Get help. Know that you are not alone. Know that there is hope.

I've always been yours.
Even if you don’t admit,
you’ve always been mine.

I will give until
I have nothing left in me.
I was born to love.

you imagined I would be?

Does it still matter?

your tender admiration.
I want nothing more.

Speak to me simply,
trembling voice and shaky hands.
Speak, I will listen.

I think of your eyes
and the tales only they spin.
I think of your smile.

Please just stay a while.
Just until the fog settles,
until calm finds us.

the magic, in the mundane,
if we look for it.

and stomach aching laughter,
we found our hearts full.

A while, the night, forever.
Love seeks adventure.

nothing but my favorite

smile in dreamy eyes.

Love me in between
sentences we try to make
through our breathlessness.

Without thinking twice
you saved me from the soundless
I was headed for.

What of all this ache?
What of the promises made?
What of this silence?

as we rewrite our story;
make up for lost time.

closing the space between us;
calm found us after.

as I turn to walk away,
these moments are home.

from before the words began.

and let me bathe in your calm.
Breathe life into me.

longing ever since you left.
Please just end this ache.
