- a poem that's collaboratively written by two writers.


Writer Angelic Eyes: 

Your room in my heart remained empty and vacant
The overgrown moss has became rampant
The windows are shut close, but a gleam draws in
Seep your eyes through the curtains, you'll see within

Come take a peek, see the room I kept for you
The flowers remain abundant, it will be your view
I kept it tidy and alive, even without your presence
You can stay here, I kept this in the shadow of your absence

If a different home awaits you
And you're lost in the rain of blue
You can stay here for a night
I'll light the porch for warmth and light

Seasons passed, you sometimes stop by
Always starts with a hello, ends with a goodbye
Lost track of days, always waiting for your knock at the door
Please, come back and stay for good, not as a visitor


Writer Eliexists:


There I was, present in all of the seasons
Autumn, summer, even when the trees blossomed
Different attires, from hot weather to cold
Same heart ache felt like every season's dose

I feel so weird, maybe even stupid
For returning everyday at the very same place
Like a person chained on the waiting shed
Finding someone from my past

Who had left no trace


Hello, to the man who holds my heart dear
Do you even have plans to come back?
Does my name even cross your mind?
Or do you even think about me
Like I do with you?

The flow of time felt like an eternity
The feelings of pain grew every second it takes
The wound grew larger like a bleeding stab in the chest
All from waiting as time passes

And there I was still
Left at the subway
Maybe wasting my time
Longing for something


That will never come back
