Love songs breathe emotions,

that bear the weight of a forgotten feeling.

Reminiscent of a silent urge to fall,

in the shadow of a grateful meandering.

No sound is louder than the thumping,

of this gentle fist-sized muscle.

A lub-dub with a rapid thud,

then slows down to a bustle.

Yet, the fear of falling,

hinders this childish stubborn nature.

Well, it’s time to take a deep breath,

Take a plunge to this familiar adventure.

When does “I love you” mean “I love you?”
Was it from your unspoken gestures?
Was it from the thoughtfulness in your smiles?
What does “I love you” mean to you?

The beauty of the words signify my heart’s desire,
an ever hoping cry, a desperate call to be alive.
The frequent solitude of a restless heart,
denies no sadness, but welcomes goodbyes.

A strain of thought that torments this time,
that you and I shared in a troubled while.
Have I awakened a dormant emotion,
perhaps hoping you could be mine.

When does “I love you” mean hello?
When does I love you” mean goodbye?

Complications best speak loudly,

like sirens of firetrucks in pursuit.

Ever announcing listless tragedies,

of feeble minds and dull recruits.

Foreshadows of impending doom,

a graveyard of broken words.

Silently crawling in the loom,

of the meek hearts and troubled herds.

Restless hearts betrayed, despised,

ghostly whispers of revenge.

This gloomy sky of feverish size,

that complications left, blood-tinged.
