GhostedThey say it’ll pass
it’ll get better the longer it lasts
They say what’s done is done
but i don’t feel like i’ve won
You took my heart
tore it, broke it, till it fell apart
Now you play the victim
the hole you created, i sit in
I don’t want to become
the monster i’ve come from
Obsessed with yourself, with...

Ankahi Si Baatein-'Unspoken Words'
Kuch surkhiyon si aati hui, ret ko sametiye,
Kaali ghata hai chaah rahi, roshni ko sametiye.
Sametiye, sahejiye, woh pal jo kho rahe abhi,
Jo tera ho na saka, uski yaadon ko sametiye.
Kuch ankahi si baat hai, kuch ankahi si raat hai,
Kuch gun guni si dhoop hai, kuch toofani si shaam hai.
Dil kholiye, kuch boliye, sunne ko bekarar...

The relationships I deserveInspired by Healing of Childhood Wounds. Don't mistake Connection or Familiarity with Love or a Relationship. Just because we have experienced Chaos and Heartbreak as "Normal", doesn't mean it's Good. Love shouldn't give you Stress, Anxiety, Pain, Emotional Upheaval or Confusion. Love should feel like Calm, Peace, Happiness, Joy, Safety, and Home.

Haunted By YouI am not letting you rent a space inside my head.
No, you are not living here no more.
Stop running up and down in my head.
You trampled my heart, step on it.
Now you're coming in and out, up and down in my head.
Leave me alone, I am good on my own.
I want to...

Flower for an Empty GraveFlower for an Empty Grave
We gather where the silence grows,
Where wind and memory softly blow.
A stone, a name, a date, a place-
No voice remains, no trace of face.
Yet still we come, with hands full-grown
Of flowers plucked from gardens sown
In grief and love-a solemn bloom
To grace the silence of a tomb.
We know the truth: the grave...

SeriouslyIt’s all not making sense to me .
You are there and I am here
I thought you were the one
What about the plans we made
The love we shared
I guess it was all a lie, you and I .
Why me
Is she better than me
I guess she is
Did I not try...

BrixworthSummer breeze on an upside down perspective
Warm waters in the blue distance
Clarity still no closer than when I first arrived
How can I feel filled with unbridled joy
But still feel hollow empty tears to cry?
We walk for hours everyday
Trying to find a semblance of how we can change
We know the errors, the cause of the...

Words You Can't Take BackWe have all had that moment of frustration
We search for words that hurt out of desperation
Having a hard time sorting out our feelings
That's the moment we become harsh in our dealings
There are times we fight to be understood
Wishing we can take back the words if we could
It doesn't pay to speak out when we're mad
We...

Let it -----RAIN, Lyrics
I'm trapped in this cave
Enslaved by a legion of chains
Your puppets jeer and taunt
Painting the wall as droplets fall
The cobra dance in the flame
Scarlet and velvet choke the air
Till a heartbeat broke in the lair
Creeping echoes from the deep
Stir my memories from their sleep
Your eyes hollowed
Your heart borrowed
You .... whore, let it ..... rain!
Volcanic...

my old poemsI read through my old poems
And my heartbreak is just words
I can’t even remember what I felt for you
Or why i was so desperate to hold on to something that didn’t even exist
I spent years pining
Overanalyzing your every movement
Thinking that maybe next time you’d say something.
You never did, yet i still held on to...

We Were Almost AlwaysThere was a time
your name felt like a beginning—
a gentle unfolding of everything soft
in a world that had grown too loud.
You weren’t just someone I loved.
You were a season.
A chapter where the pages turned slower
just to make it last.
We were never chaos,
never fire.
We were rain on windows,
late-night playlists,
hands brushing in silence.
Almosts wrapped in always.
Goodbyes hidden...

Still Holding the PhoneAnd you never knew—
how many times I stood on the edge of your name,
typing and erasing,
drafting words that felt too fragile to send.
I wrote the messages,
but never set them free.
My thumb hovered over "call"
like a ghost remembering how to hold the living.
Not because I didn't miss you—
God, I did.
But silence sometimes feels safer
than a voice...

We’re Not Dating, ButWe’re not dating—
but you heart-react to my stories like it’s a full-time job,
send a “you up?” at 12:47 a.m.
then disappear like my willpower at a shoe sale.
You say you don’t do drama—
but you’ve got more red flags
than a Formula 1 race
and the emotional depth of a spoon.
You post gym selfies with deep quotes
like “loyalty is...

Pink matterJust a container for the child?
Just someone who you can come home to?
Like it or not she means more to me than that
Had this ache only she can cure, had this fever she’d be able to control
She was my strength, my stability, my will to keep going.
Why’d I have to go and ruin it?
Both didn’t...

ECHOES OF HER"Echoes of Her"
I miss her luscious lips, the way they’d part,
Whispering love, then silencing my heart.
Tantalizing kisses, like fire and wine,
Left a burn on my soul — sweet and divine.
The fragrance of her perfume haunts the air,
Like ghosted memories tangled in despair.
Each breath I take, it aches like a crime —
A scent that holds me...
