I never realized until I noticed a part of me had dissolved in the intoxication of you. That missing piece was never mine— it had always belonged to you. I never noticed how my sleep slipped away into an ocean of thoughts I couldn’t solve. I wrapped myself in your thoughts— thoughts that were not all true. I lost a part of me just to preserve the...

A field where the departed rest, Some have toiled on this earth and given their best. We bring flowers as we mourn for those we've lost, Grieving deeply, our hearts feel its cost. A field where silence drowns the noise of the day, The soul has passed through the last...

Sometimes, I find myself on a battleground in the present or in sieges from the distant past It may be a war I've been waging within myself, a thorn that needs plucking so that I might heal I wear no crown, nor do I wish to be gowned in regal robes and sit upon a throne looking down on anyone. ...

[Verse 1] They built their fences high and wide, White porches where their secrets hide. Laughed in rooms where he’d never belong, Called him Beast when he walked too strong. No shoes, no name, just dirt and fire, Scars from hands and hired liars. He kept his voice down, learned to crawl— But they still prayed he’d never stand tall. [Verse 2] She came in...

An explosion of emotions Never formed into words before Dash through my brain’s network Giving me joy I guess I was never in love before There is no way to explain this world I am in Colors and emotions I have never seen have enveloped me It is like a giant hug from the universe This feeling called love...

I watched you from quiet corners of thought, Not to be noticed, just gently caught. In the hush between moments, I saw you smile— A glimpse, a grace, enough for a while. I never belonged to the light in your eyes, But I cherished the warmth like borrowed skies. You lived your life, bold, unaware, While I stood beside you in silent...

The phone in hand, a simple thing to do, No special date, no message bold and new. Just felt the urge, a feeling deep inside, No fancy words, no reason to hide. I just called to say I love you, it's true, This simple phrase, it bridges me to you. No birthday wish, no holiday's embrace, Just wanted warmth within this lonely...
