Midnight pining
Those minuscule gaps,
the dripping from the tap,
that soon became the sea between you and me
My fading glow, with the things I didn’t know.
How you’d take my years as your sign to go.
But am I ever in your head, dead of night, in your bed?
Do your hands still reach for the phone?
Does

SECOND CHANCE
If I ever had to live with regret
It would be the choice I made
That day just past midday
When the world dropped its mask.
There I stood adrift in thought
Drowning in a tide of anger
Sinking beneath my own silence
Wounded by what I didn’t know.
If I could build a softer clock
I’d turn its hands back gently
To the moment

A Night Beneath the Sky
Not once did I blink,
Afraid your gaze would fade at twilight’s brink,
Drowning silent in your soundless sea,
Begging the world to let me be,
Even if death walks next to me.
No past to flee,
No future to believe,
Only you — a shadow near,
Clutching time in a crystal tear.
I won’t let go of your hand,
Though skies might break and

WHAT IF LOVE IS A MYTH?
Love is kind.
Love is patient.
Love gives.
Love understands.
But what if
love is only kind
until it teaches you to kneel
for crumbs and call it a feast?
What if love isn’t perfect
not because we weren’t
but because fate crossed our paths
when we were meant to grow apart?
They say love is giving
but what if I gave too much
until I forgot the sound
of

SELF-INFLICTED WOUND
Like a storm trapped in her chest
she moved in circles
footsteps restless
heart pounding louder than thought.
She had lived inside a lie
vowed to love through anything
clung to promises already crumbling
made peace with pain to feel something.
When dawn rose, it lit the truth
the smiles were masks
the kisses rehearsed, and yet, she stayed
not for love, but for the hope

Presence
my heart hums
love I won’t confess—
close, she glides,
a lone shade,
pressing palms against my skull—
where ancient pain cracks.

You Left Me Breathless
You Left Me Breathless
your beauty overwhelmed me
your life was so carefree
I loved you more than you did know
perhaps I told you more than show
when you said goodbye
tears fell from the sky
with you I was so blessed
without you I am so breathless

Shadows
we're living with shadows,
I know we can't forget.
We are not the same ones we were.
Quite the opposite.
You gave me your reasons,
and I couldn't live with them
so you don't owe me a thing.
Can I ask you this?
If you have an answer
and I find a question for it. Can we
dance in

LOVE LOST
Love lost, by lies and broken promises.
Lost by the one who promised forever, then became lost.
Lost by evil and forces of dark.
Lost by greed and other forces that mark.
Love is always the path to light and love.
Sadly, some cannot find their way to true love and get lost.

Love Lost
Love Lost
The gentle touch of his wavy hair
I look for him but he's not there
The laugh, the voice, the talks we shared
I look for him but he's not there
The warm embrace with burdens to bear
I look for him but he's not there
Come out, come out if you dare
I look for him but he's nowhere!

I Found Myself Searching
I found myself searching for you
Through many men who just won't do,
As they simply cannot compare to you,
But truth is it is never them making me blue.
Instead I decided I will follow through
On my great awakening, to be true
To my ability to show love and woo
Every man willing to satisfy my feelings too.
I found myself

I Only Wanted You
I only wanted to love you
So you would love me too,
Until you stopped loving yourself too,
The you that I always knew.
Then all of the feelings which once grew
Withered away by devastating words of slew
When you had chosen to let anger brew,
I decided I would remake myself anew.
I only wanted to love you for you
So I
