"Perhaps death can do what mountains of love could never accomplish."


Remember when we were friends ,
you used to tell me your problems,
now you don't have problems,
even tho your eyes wander in and out of this vortex of conventional love,
you tell me this is a process that being in love means growing up,
that maturing means accepting i wont be able to see you tonight
because i just saw you friday night,
even tho today is monday morning ,
even tho im still lingering in a sea of emotions,
drowning in the vast ocean of yesterday,
maybe i just want to see you today,
because i need a friend,
but you believe relationships mean riding the tide to a sunrise,
not sinking with the ship and helping eachother survive,
because painting a smile on canvas thats fragile
doesn't mean it won't break,
that all the i love yous that you tell me doesn't mean they weren't fake
maybe they were just pre recorded messages left in your voice box,
triggered when i called for you
because you always seemed out of reach,
remember when disputes would rage like fire because your kindling flame seeked mine,
remember when you used to tell me you loved me and you looked me in the eyes,
maybe i should've noticed the first resort to the collisions was our embrace,
because there's some things i don't need to see in order to feel,
and the impact between our lips was sincere,
because it was a religious experience ,
i was devoted to you,
but you didn't have faith,
you where the atheist in this closed eyes embrace,
you kept your eyes open,
in impact one part is wrecked the other is broken,
one part forgets the other is hoping
can you finally answer me why i'm so afraid of collision with another human being,
the first thing i do when i wake up is seek any form of interaction with you,
but in this technology driven society
an i love you can travel miles only to light up on your screen
an embrace can’t be sent through a text,
and an emoji does not represent what i feel,
is there an emoji for,
tears make my eyes blurry i can't manage to see the comfort you sent me through that text
i'm not obsessed and this isnt a phaze,
its a human condition,
my circuits aren’t wired to express all i have to say in a status update,
140 characters does not summarize my character,
your way of loving is 2 gigabytes worth of data,
two text messages and a ‘’i see you later’’
We are nothing alike
while a kiss means devotion and loyalty
your lips are a welcoming harbor
im just a boat you lured in,
i'm not meaning to disrespect you i'm just trying to create an image,
like when god created the philosopher i just want you to think
our conversations contain oblivion and gravity
because i can't see where this is going but i'm expecting the fall
but when we're together
we linger in silence because we've ran out of things to say
but not quite out of things to feel,
maybe you do have problems,
and now i'm one of them.

Where do our emotions go when we lose the touch.
