I found the old stairs..
The rickety ones.
You know the kind
dusty handrails,
onto cold stone, slick.
Every step may be your last.
Every breath feels like a mistake.
I’ve walked worse, I thought.
But for those wars, at least, I knew
they had an end.
This?
This just keeps on going.
Past the point of no light.
Down where the air gets thick
and the dark gets hungry.
Down where the only sound
is your own heartbeat, slowing,
like it’s tired of you.
Then
finally
the seemingly last step.
Not because you’ve reached the bottom.
Because there isn’t one.
Just into existence.
Just silence.
The weight of knowing
you can’t fall any further..
Home
So not to the dark,
not to the stairs,
nor the journey...
It’s this place
you forced me to find
Because from here,
there’s only one way left to go.
It’s from here
I say from the bottom of my heart
and with all my love,
FUVK YOU.

STANZA 1
Love at first sight,
Was like the happiness of birches birds.
The lightening of the innermost light,
Desired to be protected with girds.
STANZA 2
Set the bow to defeat her sorrow,
But to her, devil may care.
Ready to marry her tomorrow,
But to her was a nightmare.
STANZA 3
The world even testified that she is my dimeworth.
But all my heart and inner love ended up in tears.
I returned to my inner love with loath.
And my heart was grieved with fear.
STANZA 4
I took all my Morse,
Because I backed the wrong horse.

You
You opened my mind to a fantasy
You walked in, unbothered, cigarette in hand
You take a few puffs, put it out, light one again
You leave it open, naked, unfinished
You place your kisses on its forehead
You give
You take
You rip my heart out
You took me from a place of comfort
You placed me in a train wreck
You walked out, unbothered, cigarette in hand
You take a few puffs, put it out and light one again
You answer, you ghost, you take you darn time
You feel, you surpress
You engage
You let go
You left, unbothered, cigarette in hand
You take a few puffs, put it out and light it again.....

I burn for you
Not a blessing but a curse
Im tired of this
but you started this first
Wish there was a cure
But this I can't conquer
You leading me to fire
When your the lighter
Are you done yet
havin fun yet
I just want to be free
Can't you understand that
I wouldn't call this love
it's an obsession
No matter how I try
I have no succession
It was three year
And now I shed a
Tear how foolish
Foolish when I know this is pointless
Im a senior
Your not you
want me to lenger blu but
Didn't you know I'm through with you

Relentless guilt screams her name
His cowardice brought on her regretful shame
Womb silencer, he's a false friend and true foe
Thirteen years of patience. She needs to let go
She roared with loyalty to his weak manly reflection
Undeserving of her patience, his love was an unfortunate infection
He's like a disease in her heart, she struggles to be cured
We told her many times he was never matured
Enough to be a bold righeous man
And take her generous giving hand
In marriage and walk down the aisle
Man up and make her heart smile
This toxic situation ignored its expiry date
Refusing to open her eyes to reality and the path of fate
Her frowning heart is filled with melancholy and sorrow
Move on my friend to a real man and happier tomorrow
(Inspired by a friend of mine)

In the quiet of my restless mind,
I wrestle with what they say.
They say he's a bad person, but I disagree,
For in him, I saw kindness and empathy.
Three months of love, now tangled in doubt,
I question myself, what I'm without.
They paint his laughter in shades of dark,
But in my heart, it left a mark.
His touch, once gentle, now clouded by blame,
Yet memories linger of a burning flame.
We dreamed of a future, so bright and clear,
Now shattered hopes, I'm filled with fear.
They label him with words unkind,
But in his eyes, warmth I did find.
A love that blossomed, then met its end,
Leaving me to mourn and comprehend.
Though others judge, I hold onto what I knew,
In his imperfections, love still grew.
I search for solace amidst the storm,
For peace and healing to transform.
I'm sorry for the pain we both endured,
For the love that faded, feelings obscured.
In the echoes of what once was true,
I find strength in memories of you.

"Divorce and Its Realities"
D estined to happen or slowly becoming?
I nvested in family but the feeling slowly numbing.
V isceral thoughts of making this work,
O bjective not achieved, but thoughts continue to lurk.
R eality of separation and change,
C hances to have and to hold and love may come again.
E verything not lost, just challenging for awhile - but given time and healing
I know again I will smile.

I miss the thing we were, I miss us
Everything started with you
And everything with you halted
"I am scared to lose you" might have been a joke to you,
But to me it was more than reality could express
You were my whole world, my Universe, and Everything.
"You mean a lot to me" might have been a joke to you
But I was more than serious when I said it.
"Forever" might have been a joke to you
But look I still can't hate you, after all
You did.
I know things were difficult for both of us
But still I chose to cling to you, and you chose to leave.
And that's what makes us different. You chose to love when it's comfortable to you, and I chose to love you in every situation of my life, in every circumstance, in good and in bad.

The long-drawn-out throb of my core,
Mounting up my red lane,
It is so cold, my eyes are all sore
My atonements have been in bane,
One swell of solecism
Exonerating mine deeds unfeasible to deem,
My soul cries to death
My beautiful dreams drifted.

I was nearly broken by him
He was supposed to love me
He was supposed to be my strength
He was the man I gave everything to
He was the the man I relied on
He was supposed to be my person
He was the man I gave my trust to
He was supposed to be mine
He doesn’t want to be mine and in his twisted mind he doesn’t want me to be with anyone else either
How could you do this to me?? After everything we’ve been through together?? I was so blind because all the signs were there, I turned a blind eye to them because i wished you would be different with me, that what we have between us is different and that we are strong enough to get through everything together.
But I guess I should wake up from that day dream, I should wake up to the reality that not everything i wish for is going to come true, God!!! sometimes letting go hurts so bad but i have to do it.
I am supposed to hate him, I am supposed to hate the very thought of him but I don’t.

Broken love, what a sight to see,
The heartache and pain, so hard to be.
A love that once was so strong and true,
Now lies broken, what can we do?
The tears that fall, the hurt that's deep,
The pain that lingers, that won't let us sleep.
The sadness that takes over our lives,
The broken pieces that won't fit right.
We try to mend it, but it won't heal,
The broken love, that we can't conceal.
We try to talk, but nothing works,
The broken love, that still hurts.
The memories that haunt us still,
The broken love, that won't be fulfilled.
We can't forget, we can't move on,
The broken love, that's all gone.

Let me tread the path of love
Where all the broken souls in rush
Things might get changed but that all is tough
When you meet the soul to keep you up
Heap of bodies, all in touch
That only person who bloom in fust
The only one who gives you wonders of joy
And keep you away from all the noy
I wandered through the streets of crust
The crust beneath the heart of zar
Surround is all the longest mur
But I succeed to go there first
All I found was the misconduct
The soul is hiding from years of trust
Yet it is finished but not at rush
The love was just a bunch of lust

She comes as quite as a whisper,
Behaving as calm as a snail.
Still somehow turns my world upside down;
leaving me in a chaotic game,
as if the whole world is shouting her name.
