I can’t make him love me.he won’t.and i can’t. i can’t begwithout ripping something out of myself.every time i hope,it hurts.every time i try to be “enough,”i lose a piece of me. i can’t keep showing upto be ignored.can’t keep softening my voicejust to make space for his silence. i’ve cried in roomshe never even… Continue reading “He won’t, and I can’t.”

“I Know, But Still…”
I know I’m fine.I know I’m smart.I know I turn headswhen I walk into a room.I know the power I carry.I know the softness too.I know how to smilewhen everything inside me is shaking.I know how to act like nothing ever touched me. But still… I doubt.I overthink.I replay shit that already broke mejust to… Continue reading “I Know, But Still…”
In the shadows
In the void of my mind, you linger, you stayA haunting presence that won’t go awayAbsent in flesh, but present in spiritA constant reminder of all that I fearYour whispers, like knives, cut deep in my soulAching, throbbing, taking its tollYou’re a shadow, a specter, a weight on my chestA never-ending torment that won’t let… Continue reading In the shadows
Harmony in Imperfections
We could be a melody, full of imperfections,Our harmonies blending in unique directions.With each note we play, a new story is told,Creating a symphony, beautiful and bold. Our rhythms may clash, our tones may not match,But together we create a perfect patchwork.In our discord, there lies a hidden beauty,A song of love, woven with complexity.… Continue reading Harmony in Imperfections
Shadow side
Beneath the confident facade that I show the world,there’s a quieter side not everyone sees unfold.Though I may appear strong and outgoing in light,I truly cherish moments of peace in my own quiet night.I find solace in simple joys like lazy Mondays in bed,though speaking to crowds fills me with dread.My passion lies in making… Continue reading Shadow side

Bodies
My body, your body, her bodyWe are somebody, skin and boneBreathing, moving, feeling deeplyIn this world of flesh and toneMy body is a vesselA home for my spirit to roamScarred and imperfectBut uniquely my ownYour body is a storyA dance of curves and linesA map of experiencesEtched in every signHer body is a mysteryA universe… Continue reading Bodies
Garden
In the garden of my soul, a delicate flower blooms,Petals of strength and beauty, dispelling all glooms.A treasure within, so deeply revered,My essence, my worth, so crystal clear.Like a precious gem, my value shines bright,Unwavering and true, even in the darkest night.Guarded with care, this sacred space,My inner sanctum, my saving grace.Just as the flower… Continue reading Garden
Caged
Am I the bird in flight, or am I the cage,Enclosing my world in steel, silent rage?Perhaps I am both, the foundation and the bound,Yearning for freedom, yet the door cannot be found.My wings, once strong, now clipped by fear’s embrace,My feet tethered to earth, longing for open space.In this prison of metal, a paradox… Continue reading Caged
Faded into the shadows
The darkness introduced me to heartbreak, a familiar faceSeems you’ve left your mark once againI was drawn in by your hollow promisesA fool to believe there was ever a spark to beginMy heart aches for understandingDestiny already etched in stoneAnother disaster on the horizonWe set off on this journey as friends, now lost and aloneI’m… Continue reading Faded into the shadows
