Far away

The image shows a black background with a pair of pink hands curved in motion as if holding someone's face in front of them - their nails painted neon yellow.

I’m being greedy, I know

But suddenly I want to see your face show

Though I’ve never even seen it so

I feel your hurt so far away

And it makes me wish I could take that pain away.

Hold

The image shows a black background with a pair of green hands holding onto one another, fingers interlocked with neon blue nails.

I’ll hold you like you haven’t been held.

Gently as you sleep.

I’d like to tell you how my feelings are unparalleled,

But despite my writings, I’d rather things like that be felt

Because I’ve heard so many words in the past

To find that nothing has lasted

So I won’t take this for granted

This is just me trying to be candid.

Vain

The image shows a black background with a pair of pink hands, fingers interlocking. The left arm is held over at the top, as if leaning on a head. Their nails painted neon yellow.

Pain is dreaming of you

Over and over and over again.

I’m trying to wash off this stain

But it bleeds in vain.

Don’t appear in vain

I don’t want to see you ever again.

Jealousy

The image shows a black background with a pair of blue hands holding onto one another, leaning to the left with neon pink nails.

Jealousy is a terrible disease

But I can’t help but wonder

If she knows you like I do

When you’re nervous

Or when you’re pleased

I’m being pathetic but please don’t laugh

Whilst my heart is being cut in half

A day

The image shows a black background with a pair of blue hands and pink fingertips - one hand is leaning onto the wrist of the other.

Let’s wrap this up

And call it a day.

I’ve cried enough

And I’ve done more than enough

So please, let’s just call it a day.

Ego

The image shows a black background with a pair of hands. The yellow hand is held up and the blue hand is holding onto its wrist in a restrictive manner. They have neon pink fingernails.

I didn’t do it to hurt

But that I couldn’t cure my own hurt.

It’s not out of lack

But rather my own lacking.

How egoistical must you be

To make it about you?

Lying

The image shows a black background with a pair of green hands and neon yellow nails with one hand is holding onto the back of the other.

I hate lying

But I hate it even more

When you give me no choice

But to lie.

I’m lying to keep your truth

Whilst denying my own truth.

Candy

There is a black background and at the centre, there is a pink hand holding out in offering, with their nails painted neon green.

Sweet, like candy.

You call out to me.

It’s a shame that I can’t swallow you whole

How unfortunate that I have to share pieces of your soul.

Would it be a crime if I stole?

Don’t

There is a black background with a blue hand held up with the index finger pointing as it to disapprove. Their nails are painted neon pink.

I once waited for an apology

But now I don’t need your sorry.

I can’t even return to the naive me

To pretend to believe your sob story.

Why don’t you save your acting,

For someone who still worries?

Steal

In the black background, there is a pink hand with the index finger stretched to the right and the remaining fingers curling upwards. Their nails are painted blue.

Let’s steal moments,

In a day full of errands.

Or whisper secrets,

In a room full of people.

I promise I won’t run,

As long as you can find.
