I Lost My Body
If I could go back in time, I’d go back to when I believed in soulmates the way I believe the stars in the night sky guide us to a predetermined destiny. Poorly illuminated by the moon, leaving you to seek yourself intentionally. Well, I’ve learned you can throw away fate when you make an extremist choice, deviating against that destiny. Like salmon in...

The Girl Who Writes Love Poems v2
The girl who writes love poems Finally became the muse She was so wrapped up in her delusion She didn't see she was being used. She poured out her heart into stanzas and rhymes And basked in the warmth of his gaze Little did she know the time that she’d waste Would haunt her the rest of her days. Though she spent...

ECHOES OF DISTANT LOVE
songer.co/song/xm7mr1l5mcksgt8pf2gmfpku [Verse 1] She said it was just a poem— Left it trembling on the windowsill, Ink still wet, like tears she never cried. But her naked vulnerability, Unfolded like a secret too fragile to speak. I felt the chill as the sun fell hard Behind her silhouette— Bare, distant, unknowable, a memory marred. [Chorus] Oh, how I miss her, the light in her eyes, The laughter...

out of the blue, into the blue
in a soft sigh or quiet curse a bubble of pain in the embers of a fading fire sparks of memory in the hollow of the chest echoes of love where the smile doesn't meet the eyes mania or melodrama ...

PHANTOM LIMB
(Verse 1) This empty room still hums your favorite song, Sunlight cuts the dust where your laugh belonged. I trace the cracks in every worn-out tile, Searching for your shadow one more mile. (Chorus) **I can still feel you like a phantom limb—** A ghost in every room,...

Premium Member Heartbroken
I trace your absence In the hush of midnight’s sigh, your laughter haunts the empty air, Each whisper a wound and a lullaby. My tears fall like silent art, A testament to love that burned too bright— But in this echo of shattered dreams, I feel the strength within the sting. Fragments of us remain...

"The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; [2] To proclaim the acceptable year of...

Damaged Love
[Stanza 1] Suddenly, the clouds above become gray, Like a sudden sharp knife, the words you say. My heart used to beat so strong, pure, and true, Now lies destroyed under the sky so blue; [Stanza 2] My spirit just bleeds from a wound so deep, This silent loss makes my soul read and weep; I look for hints of reason I can...

Prayer's Power
When heart breaks and bleeds under the sharp knife, Cut and crushed feelings blame the storm of life. When mind forgets the joy of the daybreak, forlorn eyes spend the night in tears and ache. But firm faith fights the hardest blows of pain, to triumph over the arrows of rain....

Justice ,denied
With bloody hands, rusty hair and a dammed soul I walked out ,stepping on the rotten meat As my lungs struggled to breathe down the fragrance of the crime that I had committed Blue and white lights flashed my eyes And a bullet pierced through my cranium Punishing me for the crimes I had not committed, My lips...

He'll Never Know
I loved you in the silence, when you weren’t even listening. Held on through your absence, while you kept on vanishing. I stayed when you were distant, I hoped through every lie. I gave you all my colors, and you just watched them die. You never read my story, but still, you felt exposed— as if my pain betrayed you, like truth you never chose. You say...

Stone Cold and Heartbroken
In the quiet of my lonely room, Your laughter echoes, a distant tune, Time zones stretch, and miles divide, A love once close now feels like a sigh. Letters linger, words on the screen, Each message a hope, a flicker unseen, Days turn to shadows, weeks follow fast, ...
