The End

The End
there comes a point when you must move on.
the push You need comes from within, not from anyone else.
Better to start alone than carry the weight,
even if it cuts deep at first.
What You had slips away.
the happiness You once knew fades,
And nothing feels the same.
You’ll learn to fix it Yourself—
Quieter.
Emptier.
You don’t need others.


There will always be a End

Player or Be Played

Player or Be Played
Should there only be two options?
Can’t there be an in-between?
An in-between where they are there
for Each Other.
An in-between where they
choose Each Other.
An in-between where they
know Each Other.
An in-between where they can
respect Each Other.
An in-between where any problem can be solved
with Each Other.
The perfect one becomes perfect when you show up.
perfect for Each Other,
not alone.

Who's Really Dead?

Who's Really Dead?
Really sick, searching for a cure
The medicine of good times isn't working–
not right now.
Happiness is knowing someone will be there
no matter what.
But maybe is not a someone 
Maybe its a something–
a sunset 
It leaves.
It returns.
At least it comes back.

Time

Time 
Some things don't disappear
Not with distance, not with time.
Would I do it all over again?
Same story, same ending?
Yes.
Real things don’t just vanish.
Moving on doesn't mean you fade away.
You linger in quiet moments.
In passing thoughts.
In the Time I wish I had more of.

Decisions

Actions speak louder than what we say,

A smile can mean more than a thousand words.

I watch how people move, how their true self.

The things left unsaid are often clearer.

Small details can speak louder than the sounds of birds.

It’s not what’s said, but what’s quietly done,

That shows the truth of the reason,

of what You try to hide

Lucky

Lucky
lucky to see your smile 
lucky to hear your voice 
lucky to feel your kindness,
In every shared moment
Lucky to have known you-
even for just a season.
now you're gone.
Silence fills the space 
Where laughter once was 
And in you absence 
I learned a truth.
Lucky to learn a lesson.

Forget

Forget
I wish I could.
I’ve had some good times,
some bad times.
Sometimes, I wish I’d never met you.
Other times, I wish I was still there.
Even with all the pain people cause,
I still care.
I cared then, and maybe I care now.
Even if I can’t feel my hands,
I would still lend you one.
Why do I care?
It’s just the memories,
whether bitter or sweet.
I wish I could Forget.

Stop trusting?

Loyalty isn’t asking for much it’s giving Anything you can, without hesitation, without fear of loss. 
It’s being there, even when its dark, 
and offering Anything because it’s worth it.
Because You were worth it. 
But You didn't believe. 
Loyalty is the quiet promise to give Anything, 
and trust that it’s enough.

A mistake

A Mistake
Was talking to you a mistake?
I thought I was just being brave,
but now I wonder if I should’ve stayed quiet,
kept my distance, and let the silence save me.
You said things I’ll never forget,
but maybe I was better off not knowing.
Maybe the truth wasn’t worth the pain,
and the connection wasn’t worth the strain.
You’re a beautiful mess I can’t untangle,
a story I keep rereading, even when it hurts.
Maybe I should’ve never opened that door,
but now it's too late, and I can't close it anymore.
A mistake?
But even mistakes shape us,
and in this one, I learned—
Some things can’t be undone,
even when they leave you undone.

Freedom, But Alone

I walk through the world with open air,
the weight of the past finally lifted.
No chains, no voices calling my name—
just space to breathe, to be, to exist.
The silence is mine now,
the kind that feels freeing,
but with it comes a quiet emptiness,
a loneliness I didn't expect.
I am free,
but I am alone,
and somehow,
they feel like the same thing.
The world is wide,
but I don't have anyone to share it with.
I can go where I please,
but the freedom feels a little colder without someone beside me.

It's a strange kind of peace,


the freedom that leaves you with nothing
but the echo of your own footsteps.
