Dark Coal of NightHeartache swells like a bruise
Sky fades to black
Eternity passes
And still no light
Curled in lonely despair
Dawn will not crack
Buried so low, I am
Dark coal of night!...

I Lost My BodyIf 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 v2The 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 LOVEsonger.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 bluein 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,...

Before You Were BeautifulAdrianna, I loved you even before you were beautiful
I loved you when you were real
I loved you for the warmth you brought
I loved you for the energy you gave me
I loved you before the crushing pressure gave way to your rebirth
Adrianna, now you are beautiful
Shatteringly breathtaking is your radiance
Adrianna, I loved you before you were...

HeartbrokenI 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...

Dream Shattered, and Heartbroken

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 ,deniedWith 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 KnowI 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 HeartbrokenIn 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, ...
