Ghosted
They 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 deserve
Inspired 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. The relationships I...

Haunted By You
I 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 Grave
Flower 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...

Seriously
It’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...

Brixworth
Summer 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...

Premium Member Words You Can't Take Back
We 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...

Premium Member 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 poems
I 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 Always
There 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 Phone
And 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, But
We’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 matter
Just 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...
