Your kisses fell on me like sand through an hourglass – a thousand tiny moments, for an eternity of stillness.
M.K. STANDBYYour kisses fell on me like sand through an hourglass – a thousand tiny moments, for an eternity of stillness.
M.K. STANDBYYou are a mirage – never mine to hold. A glimering promise so tempting to chase, eternally out of reach.
M.K. STANDBYWe didn’t know it was simpler, did we? Those days of sunburnt youth and carefree adventure. Knowing that indestructible optimism would waver with experience – would I have gripped it a little tighter? Held on a little longer?
M.K. STANDBYAnd when I imagine my home – above all else, I’ll always think of you.
M.K. STANDBYMy throat burns with the words left unspoken, air hangs still and silence hides the words you long to hear – stay.
M.K. STANDBYPainting over cracks as you watch the ceiling fall – not everything can be healed with love.
M.K. STANDBYI feel like I’m on fire, fighting for a moment on respite – I’m not placing bets.
M.K. STANDBYDon’t give your heart to a poet – we see stories in a sentence and haunt you with our ink.
M.K. STANDBYIn the pale light of a setting sun – I’ll hold your hand and promise to love you more, on the days that you forget to love yourself.
M.K. STANDBYWords hold little scope, for a love that stretches far beyond the limitations of language.
M.K. STANDBYHollow intent and echoes affection, a call with no response. Who could trust a dormant heart – where apathy is shaped like love?
M.K. STANDBYMaybe this time I choose ignorance, because giving began to feel like losing – repairing a house from rubble, and making sandcastles with the ash.
M.K. STANDBYI fill the shadow of the girl you want, a placeholder to the one I know you’d rather – I’ll do for now, but not forever.
M.K. STANDBYSpirits dance on a velvet night, the sky it’s deepest black. In restless sleep and twisted dreams, they find themselves alive.
M.K. STANDBYPeace found me in a wordless embrace – in the rising of autumn sun, and the sound of turning pages.
M.K. STANDBYJust tell me that it won’t be the same- that one day I won’t look at you, and only see a stranger.
