paradox

I felt very distant from you,
But I couldn't be remote from you,
Why? I don't know
But this is not comfortable.
But also seeing someone else 
Watching you, crushing on you,
I feel jealous, but I shouldn't.
But now, you are in my life,
 I can't change it.
I tried to stop talking to you, but couldn't.
Even if I understand you, I am perplexed.
You seem familiar, even if you are an unfamiliar person.
The world serves no purpose for me.
Your name is what gets me going.
Even if you lie, it feels like the truth.
But it just shouldn't, I am denying this feeling.
I want and need to get over you.
But is it the right thing to do?


A Broken Piece

I know I messed things up
But you chose to be in a slump
You had the chance to show up
When I needed you to pick me up
But you chose to break me up

I gave all of me
You have only seen the dim of me
Ignored the worth of me
You were clearly a mistake of me

Rainbows smile is truly colourful
Dreams are wonderful
Which only makes you an utter fool
But The Choice is pitiful

Constellation is beautiful from far
You can never be one of the star
You can’t even be at par
That feels bizarre

I am a broken piece
Gathers every shattered piece
Wandering for mental peace

After Rain, I'm Left with an August Day

My ears ring as I sit in the loft
and the sun shines through haze.
It rained last night and I know
it will rain again. I’ve already
checked through my emails
embracing my ritual to start the day.
The house cat rubs against my leg
until I allow it onto my lap.
I visited a friend yesterday
and we sat outside
while he talked about his ailments.
I mentioned the one I lost
and the break-up that haunts me.
He asked if I’d love again.
Heck no, I said,
but then again, maybe.
We both agreed
that we bear our ages
and that’s better
than the other choice.
Today I go for a drive
taking in the scenes
I’ve grown to love.
As I hold the steering wheel
they whisper by the passenger window.
Just past a line of trees
The Mississippi stirs, an endless flow
as it streams through my life.

Bestie became enemy

?? "Bestie Became Enemy" 

Bestie became enemy, sharp like a knife,
I never thought you'd cut me out of your life.
I gave you my secrets, my soul, my trust,
Now all that's left is broken dust.

You knew my pain, you held my hand,
I thought you'd always understand.
But jealousy grew where love should stay,
And now your kindness fades away.

You smiled while you watched me fall,
Laughed behind every fake call.
The bond we had has lost its shine,
Your heart was dark, while I gave mine.

Now you smile with my worst enemy,
You cherish my pain, not what once set me free.
You've become a thorn, deep in my flesh,
Your presence no longer feels warm or fresh.

But I’ve learned the truth, I’ve seen the signs,
Not all sweet souls walk straight lines.
You were my sister, now you’re my test,
I let you go — and wish you the best.

Premium MemberLost in Translation

in a strange foreign land 
lone outsider
waiting on the sidelines
stumbles upon friendship
and finds comfort
soul to soul

securing a safety net
experiences the freedom to let loose
to laugh and share the freedom to be free
within confines set by the heart
indelibly forging a lasting memory
to take home and treasure always

Inspired by the movie 'Lost in Translation'


Lost Cause

A plethora of knots came undone,
An amazing friendship torn apart,
Now she holds the loaded gun,
With it pointed straight at my heart,
Heavy clouds block the sun,
You were a lost cause from the very start.

Valentine's never ending kiss

Sometimes nights lasts longer, 
Heart's pacemaker goes on pause 
Time and distance freezes loving hearts
An ever igniting melancholy, 
Devoid of true happiness and loves' passion 

The joy of finding you after so long, 
Faithfulness and communication unyielding,
A Valentine's delight 

Eyes locked in gaze,
doubtfull sorrow takes flight 
Memories emerging like eleeeh's melodies 
Our Valentine's Day to celebrate 
Our loves' endurance in frequent  storm
A bond never to ever sever 

Our loves' vision now clearer than ever 
On a Valentine's never ending kiss

The Missing Friend

Losing you was worse than heartbreak 

17 years, i cannot comprehend 

It hurt then and still does, while I mourn the loss of my soul sister
Your family is still my family, you refused to hear the truth,could have still turned it around

To say sorry, or even, "I'm happy I was mistaken" and I would have welcomed you back into my life

But you made that choice, a bad judgement call and refused to hear or accept the truth you didn't want,

True colours and character showed of a person I no longer recognised, I miss the you I knew
I lost a sister, a friend, an ally

And I still dont know which loss hurts the most.

Premium MemberMy Friend

You came to be on a cold winter day
My heart opened; you were her to say
Her heart belongs to another, so you know
I should have realized it was time to go

Here heart loved him, she was blind
Her brain hated him and his kind
This conflict gave hope, she is my friend
Said to her friends til the end

Her mind and heart now act as one
Her unconditional love he finally won
With this being said it has become so
With a broken heart I must go

The friendship will forever last
Our times together will be in the past
We share a bond that’s special and true
The kind that holds together like a strong glue

Goodbye my Love

Saturday 27.7.2024
I finally said goodbye to him.
I hoped he understands what I meant.
It was not what I wanted.
But I could not help it.
Just like "Can't help falling in love" with you.
One day, when I look back all of these,
It will be a joke just like what you did to me.
From the bottom of my heart,
I just want you to disappear,
Go to find your match and have a family.
That way will really help me to stay away from you,
And stop loving you.

Premium MemberTime grows near

Did you ever feel your heart break and begin to cry
Sit Back my friends and I’ll tell you why
A friendship developed, beautiful like fresh fallen snow
Then she says soon she will go

You always knew this day would be here
Until this moment you did not know it was near
So you sit in the dark, and tears fill your eyes
You try and accept she will soon say goodbye

Try to imagine life without her in my daily life
Days will be long, and sadness will fill my nights
I will cherish the memories and good times we had
But will it be enough to not be so sad

They say hold on to memories and cherish the dreams
But My love for her makes me want to scream
I wish with all my heart she did not have to go
And may the time we have left will go by slow

Nika, I will always love you with all my heart
You truly grabbed my soul right from the start
Every day we have been together life has been dream
Please don’t forget me and listen for my scream.

I LOVE YOU MY FRIEND

Holiday Fun

Rudolph and Santa, two jolly good friends,
On their own friendship, so much depends.
One day, they both fought,
'Cause someone stole what they'd bought 
But soon, they were able to make amends.

Later that day, they caught the thief,
But learning he'd sold their goods caused them grief.
They then informed the police,
Who gave them ten Pounds apiece.
That their kind gesture brought them relief.

While heading back home, that same day,
They both discovered they'd long lost their way,
Because of the beer they'd drunk,
They sat in a blue funk ~
That Santa was drunk no longer hearsay.

Premium MemberA Friendship Lost

A goal to pick between numberless needs.
To choose only one that I might fulfill.
So often problems that were only seeds,
left alone grow into a weed-strewn hill,
and solving will take an unending will 

Forgiving is often the task of two.
However, sometimes there is only one.
 That makes it more difficult to embue
a gentleness in the bright morning sun,
kindness as night's stars exit, one by one.

But, I know that words can carry wonder,
and, in 'I forgive'' magic just may hide.
Because a friendship that falls asunder
is sadness one should no longer abide
Words can express more than only one side.

Premium MemberA Dragonfly And Fairy Fantasy

Once up on a giant sunflower,
A pink fairy lost her way in grand green fields
She sat alone for what seemed hours 
When out of nowhere a blue dragonfly yields
Will you come and sit with me before you go?
The dragonfly stayed and sang a lovely lullaby                  
Follow the riverbed, listen to the water flow
The way to anywhere whispered the wise dragonfly

The Divide

She used to be here,
beside me,
our laughter filling the gaps in the quiet.
But then it changed,
when they came around,
the ones with the right clothes,
the right words.
And I was left behind.

She doesn’t look at me now,
not like she used to.
She walks with them,
her back straight,
her smile cold,
and I’m still here,
waiting,
watching her slip away.

It’s like she doesn’t remember
the way we used to talk about everything,
the way we shared our secrets,
no walls between us.
Now I’m just a ghost,
a forgotten name
fading into the distance.

She leaves with them,
those people I can’t even name,
and I wonder what they’ve done
to her.
Her laugh sounds different now,
like it’s been hollowed out,
like it’s a mask
she wears to fit in.

I want to scream,
to reach out,
but she’s already gone.
I’m a memory,
buried in the weight of who she’s becoming.

She’s someone else now,
someone I can’t recognise,
and I wonder if she ever thinks of me,
or if I’m a forgotten chapter
she’ll never read again.
