Ari Avi Poem
I hope you can understand
The storm behind that smile.
The ocean in my eyes
Hides a silent truth and a thousand lies.
It’s breaking me apart day by day,
How do I say?
Piece by piece or little by little
It leaves my heart fragile, my soul brittle.
How do I tell you?
I don’t need you to change
I just want you to understand me
A little, for once, let me be.
Of course, I can’t hate you
As I have loved you
But I lose a piece of me too.
Every time I feel small,
I stop believing in me at all.
Between our hearts, the waters lie
Too deep to swim, too far to try
Each attempt fades like whispers in the hall
Lost in the silence that swallows all.
I just simply want you to see
The one you never knew -- the real me.
Not strong, not perfect, not anymore,
Just the child, you loved before.

Ari Avi Poem
In the amidst of calm and chaos, we sat
Side by side, for the last time
Holding onto the quiet whispers, of where we are at
As we let the moment sublime
We built our castle, as each grain clap
Our laughter in sight, our hands in rhyme
Knowing the tide would wash through that
Yet loving the loss, worth the climb
We watched as the ocean reclaimed our work of heart
By that, it's time for us to part the line
Though the waves might've pulled us apart
Our promise stays to build a sandcastle one more time.
