Even The Heart Has Moved On

Posted on August 16, 2020 by introvertedela

Am I right to hold onto the
memories that should
have been long forgotten?

The morning kisses—
just how much I miss.

The late-night cuddles
The late-night walks
and those heart-to-heart talks—
Seriously, I remember all of it
wherever I look.

I try to bury the thought of you
in a hole of hopes and faith
Optimistic about the future and
of my own mysterious fate.

With every step I have to take,
there lies a smile I’m aware is fake.
I stand at our rendezvous,
broken and alone,
even the heart has
already moved on.

A Dance To Remember

Posted on August 12, 2020 by introvertedela

As the song starts playing
so as my heartbeats racing
— oh, such a delightful feeling!

As I take your hand and rest it on my chest,
Never have you showed any protest.

I gaze at you in awe;
You look ravishing in that
dress of blue.

Our bodies sway along with the song;
I can tell where my heart entirely belongs.

The touch of your skin
makes my heart quiver.
The scent of your hair
in my mind will forever linger.

As the night gets deeper,
the song plays slower
and this to me will take
a lifetime to remember.

So Long, My Love

Posted on August 2, 2020 by introvertedela

Our souls connect
as our eyes met,
for a moment
I felt my heartbeats skip.

Strange as it is
I cannot really tell
how that certain
moment has made me feel.

The sound of my heart
beating had me wondering
Why on earth does this juncture
feel so comforting?

The way you looked at me
It goes through beyond my soul.
The way you smiled at me
It had me feel like an absolute fool.

It was a magical moment
that I would always cherish.
Such an enthralling scene
that I would gladly reminisce.

So long, my love, I will always remember
the once fascinating night
where the moon reflected on the river
and gazing at you was a mesmerizing sight.

Welcome To Reality

Posted on July 24, 2020July 24, 2020 by introvertedela

The reality where life is underrated
and love is taken for granted.

The reality where friends offer nothing but lies
and even wear a sweet disguise.

The reality where families throw hate
at one another; No, this cannot be fate.

The reality where a tiny innocent soul
is deprived of his right to live
as well as his pure love to give.

The reality where nations are holding grudges
Yes! They already have forgotten what humanity is.

The reality where throwing stones at each other
has more fun than lending each other a helping hand.

This is the reality that gives us so many realizations
and for the fact fewer expectations.

So I say, welcome to reality.

If Only…

Posted on July 18, 2020 by introvertedela

If only I could turn back time
I would have made you mine.

If only I was tough enough
I’d be probably watching you laugh.

If only I was not a coward
Maybe, we’d be traveling together
and laughing hard.

But this human here wasn’t exactly
the man you expected.
So you see, I left you when
you were most in need.

I buried the love in the
deepest of my heart
Watched you walk away
in tears, I know you were hurt.

If only I was that brave
as you are
Maybe, ours would be the
best love story by far.

Note: This is inspired by a true to life story of a male friend of mine who requested me to write a poem for him. He was in love, and still in love with the same girl who happened to be his best friend yet, he was scared to tell her that he loved her and decided to go and distance himself from her despite being aware that the girl also felt the same for him. The fear of getting the friendship ruined reign over him. Little did he know that it was already too late to save both the friendship and the feelings.
