You linger on my mind

Not entirely there but present

You walk stealthily into my thoughts

Not an entire part but a fragment

You have sought a place in my sub-conscience

When I deprive you of the awareness of your existence

Maria Yousuf

Don't push me away

Or stand walls in between

Don't break my trust

Or assume what you haven't seen

Don't

Or you'll lose me forever

Maria Yousuf

Sometimes

Denial is a mask over your deepest wish

Refusal is a tomb encasing your heart

And Unwillingness is fright of rejection

Maria Yousuf

Don't Say No One Cares

You may walk around like you have no feelings

Act like you don't care that no one cares what happens to you

You may make people believe that you don't hurt anymore

Just because the past has broken you

But I know that you wish contrary to what you exhibit

Wish they had been there for you instead

I've got a message for you

If they weren't, we are

And always will be

We may not be bound by blood

But we stick together through thick and tough

So drop that guard and come on in

Our group hug awaits you and your happy grin :D

Don't ever say no one cares

That which comforts you could cause to become obtuse

That which may seem glaring could become your trigger

Maria Yousuf

Inebriated with adrenaline

Knowing it will only last a while

Awaiting the intoxication to wear off

And walk away with a smile

Maria Yousuf

Nostalgic

A nostalgic feel

A breeze bound with memories

A bit sweet

A bit warm

Comforting

Like a warm embrace

Evoking

Exhuming emotions onto the surface

Recollecting old times

Preserved memories tears and smiles

Remembering it all and secretly wishing

To bring it all back again

Maria Yousuf

Was I wrong to stay away?

Was I wrong to keep safe?

From destructive trusts

And fake friendships?
