Too Much for Just a Friend
Maybe I was too much— too loud in a world that whispers, too present where absence feels safer, too eager where waiting kills quietly. Maybe I sent the first message because silence scared me more, because every ‘seen’ without reply felt like a door slowly closing on my chest. Maybe I asked too many questions— not because I doubted, but because I needed to know if...

At What Cost
My parents didn’t teach me love— I learned it from the silence. My mother never asked why my eyes were red. She looked, but never really saw. My father only noticed me when I made a mistake. Love, in our house, was conditional. Thin. Breakable. Absent. So I taught myself how to hug my own shoulders when no one else reached out. How to whisper "it's okay" when the shouting outside made the inside...

Red Quiet
There is snow in my wounds— Soft, crystalline lies Melting slow into the bruises you painted Like frost on raw skin. Your words, Those lovely razors, Cut so elegantly I mistook the sting for silk. You never shouted. Not once. You whispered ruin Like a lullaby sung into marrow, And I listened— A child reaching For warmth from a flame That only ever wanted to burn. You call it love— When your...

Muted Song
His lips parted, but the notes clung, threaded in silence by invisible keys. The song stayed, in a nest of aches, where wishes fluttered without hope of flight. He hummed, but no one heard the melody curled beneath spoken noise. They praised his calm, his quiet, and manly things he always played. Never knowing his timely hush was a wretched note never sung aloud. He nodded, clapped in soft time, while his ribs beat a slow mourning tune. Some...

Under Porcelain
She smiled, The kind that fits Like fine porcelain On polished shelves. She added the sugar, Asked about the day, But folded her voice Into careful pleats. No one noticed, The twitch in her hand, How the tea danced Before the quick sips. She laughed, But her breath shook, Like windows trembling Before the wind. Even the mirror, Cracked behind her veil Dared not speak Of the quiver it caught. She kept it hidden, Polished with...

Lost in a cage
Shadows are flying in my head. Emotions are lost . Darkness is running allover,thou life is a mystery. Deeply I feel sad, deeply I feel happy, asking why life is worthless. I can feel anger brewing inside my heart. Periodically hateness is installed in my heart. My emotions are lost in my own world,where I don't have access. I'm lost in my...

Nine Times to Die
Like a cat, I've nine times to die — and love has taken seven. Once, when you said my name like it was a question. Twice, when you answered it with silence. Thrice, when you loved someone else in front of me like I was made of stone instead of soul. I keep returning — from wreckage, from wreck, from wreck again. You don't know how many lives I’ve lost just staying alive next...

What Do I Hold?
I see the shadow in your eyes, The quiet war you try to hide. Still, I stay, still I wait-- Drawn to every twist of fate. On a bed of thorns, I close my eyes, And count the tears I can't disguise. What do I hold, when your hands let go? What do I keep, when I already know? I can't breathe in,...

What If He Says That to Our Daughter
-In the dead of night, when the world is silent, her whispers haunt the shadows of my mind. “Daddy, I’m so tired… I don’t want to be here anymore.” Her small voice, trembling like a ghost, echoes in my heart — a chilling reminder of the fragile life we’re trying to hold together. Late at night, when silence drapes...

My Reality
I’ve lived and I’ve loved or so I thought, came out broken, beaten and battered. A false embrace a kiss of lies, All loves games I bought. Tried to be just who I am, Not one would care to ease. Friends, family or chosen mate, Would bring me to my knees Shut my mouth to obstruct the blow, The Anger, fury and wrath, The Inevitable...

Premium Member His kiss, Breathless Bliss
in a million words, I couldn’t say my heart’s trembling, thumping away apprehensive yet full of thanks… as his light softly touches my lips – a soulful silence still as the music who plays when the wind seeks her lovers the leaves, the trees… seem to shudder, erasing the past with a joy that flutters awake stirring, encouraging, embracing so the light falls over the last story of yesterday,...

Premium Member Emotional Shrapnel
Continuous cathartic resonance of black bashful veil, imposing the darkest recess and its tangled tantrums amassed, phases exist without problematic manifest intrusion illusory but for a while, the reckless chilling bursts of wild incendiary angst a blight, such burdens match interminable interior and exterior struggle, the bulk of etched trauma recent or derivative of remote life event, an additional weight as...

Premium Member Running Through Life
I’m not running from my life I just need this moment to think In these moments, in this open space…get a firm grip So many challenges, so many heartbreaks The obstacles … the major dips But I know I must keep moving on There’s much life to be lived. Past tears could create new oceans This awesome power lies with me. ...

Fire
i flicker when spoken of glow in the breath you shouldn’t have wasted on apologies ash settles like snow on the bones of yesterday still warm if you press hard enough to blister i eat whatever dares to name me-- anger love home god you told me i burned too easily but you lit the match and called me beautiful beneath my skin a cinder waits i have never ended i have only gone quiet for now ...
