Storm clouds
I wonder if I search for storm clouds in peoples eyes or if I put them there. Shocked when the rain starts and the thunder roars. Lightning flashes. I wonder if the rain stops. I wonder at rain drops. Falling, stalling, halting. I wonder at anger. Where it comes from and when it will pass. The smell of...

Marlaina’s Midnight Tears
In the hush of night, when the world feels still,? Marlaina weeps behind the window sill.? The stars don’t blink, the moon won’t speak,? Her heart breaks soft, yet painfully deep. She holds her chest like it might fall apart,? Counting the cracks carved into her heart.? Was she not enough? Did she love too wide?? Questions echo when no one's by...

His 9 was my 6
You said I never tried enough, But I thought showing up was love. I held your hand through quiet storms, But never knew how deep they cut. You wanted words — I gave you time. You wanted truth — I gave you signs. You asked for more than I could name, And all I gave felt just… the same. I saw your tears, I heard...

The Dump Truck Joke
We were once madly in love,? Young hearts caught in reckless fire.? Then I told you the dump truck joke— ?A laugh, then silence,?And slowly, I walked away. I chased shadows in skirts,? Mistook freedom for fulfillment,? But birthdays came, and so did my wishes—? Simple texts, silent prayers,? A whisper from the past to say: I remember. You found Malcolm. ?I watched from the...

Premium Member The Last Station of Waiting
Long ago, Mithila was left at this forsaken station, As the train slipped away on the wrong track, cutting all horizons. There was no return Mithila knew it, even then. This waiting was only a silent, endless sigh. In the dust-covered mirror of nostalgia, Her past flickers, bright as gleaming, Unreal in its stillness and beauty. The present? A colourless traveller That tells no...

addiction kills
I saw you walk in with that grin you always wore. with the hoody that you always gave me so I would be warm. im cold now, freezing in the love that we always swore breathless, tangled in what was from before i feel the walls caving, what happened to the god above? i feel my mind racing, gosh i...

break me further
My own death doesn't scare me But yours terrifies me I pray my last breath is a sigh of relief Sometimes I'll push you away Hoping you'll just pull me closer You could slit my throat And with my last gasping breath Id apologize for bleeding on your shirt Id die for you, but little do you know...

The Cartographer and the Sea
He drew maps for a living. Not of roads, but of promises— soft lines where her laughter once lived, tiny arrows where her eyes used to point when she couldn’t say stay. She was the sea— ever folding into herself, a hymn of salt and leaving. No harbor could hold her, no anchor dared ask. He traced her tides in silence, built cartographies of could-have-beens, and marked in...

I do not love you
I don't love you We can say I don't know you We can say I haven't given you a chance We can say that maybe love will grow if we are patient We can say there is hope But as of now, I don't love you What we can't say is that I don't know what love is I know...
