"to love me is to love a haunted house."

i shelter ghosts of many cheap loyalties and countless broken promises,
and where do i even begin telling you about all these scars
from past pains that still bleed like fresh wounds when triggered.

-

some scars still bleed,
and we still flinch.

-

but we still keep the faith, don't we?
like our world could be in complete chaos;
and we still dare to hope against hope.

-

there's something about loving bravely.
you'll know when you get there.

-

and you happened. exactly when you had to. right on time.

-

home to me is wherever you are.

-

today, i tried looking at you
from a place of forgiveness,
only to realise i'll be needing
a lifetime for that to happen.

-

if love doesn't make you want to be a better person,
you are either wasting their time or they are wasting yours.

-

it's a terrible feeling, to love
and still not find that peace.

-

i hope you find the courage to get up from there
and go where your love is celebrated.
