I was a bird who knew the sky,
a map of cloud, a sun warmed eye.
I knew the branch, the whispered air,
the weight of two- a joy to bear.
The world was song, a woven thread,
but now you're gone, the song is dead...
The open sky, now seems a fright,
a hollow, vast and aching light.
The wind, a ghost; the sun, a glare,
and every beat feels raw, aware,
of nothing where your wings spanned,
this empty, wide and dreaded land.
So, I retreat. On bars I lean,
this cage of now, of in-between.
And here I see, in iron gleam,
a memory-leaf, a petal dream,
a pinecone from the rain-sweet pine,
a dew drop that was once our wine.
I cannot bear the unknown air,
so a kingdom of ours I build here.
A shrine of might-have-been,
lost love's echoes dwelling within.
A captive, yes, but not bereft,
I keep the sky of what we left...

Like clay in a potter’s hands,
I cradled your heart-
not to shape you,
but to help you find your form.
I turned the wheel gently,
steadying your rise,
never pressing too hard,
only watching, gently.
But a potter must not waver.
One tremor, one glance away-
and the soft shape collapsed,
folding into silence.
Now I sit with the dust,
wondering if the care,
the love was ever enough
to keep you whole.

I believed I’d hold those memories,
like fragile, sunlit things-
soft with smiles, sweet with sorrow,
even when I knew I’d lose you.
Now, they press like cold stones,
each one carved with your name.
The joy we had now hollows me-
all of it turned into weight.
I want to keep your laugh echoing,
not the silence left after.
I want our past to warm me,
not just bleed me drier by the hour.
Somehow, the light we knew feels thinner,
and this tide of grief drags me under.
I miss the way I missed you then—
when missing didn’t drown me.

I couldn't walk
Another step today
So I wrote this
Line by line
It gave me the strength
That I once lacked
It made me feel like
I had a voice
This mind
This body
This soul
And ah...
I forget that there's a heart

Every gentle breeze that brushes my face,
The melodies that soothe my ear,
The hues of sky and flowers I trace—
In every breath, you make my heart stir.
A love I never knew my heart could hold,
Though worlds apart, it only grows.
Each day draws me closer to the moment
When my eyes will behold your smile,
And forgotten joy will rise, alive.

I will live on
with or without you.
I won't cry,
I won't die.
I will live on
with or without you.
With you, life can be
a smooth journey.
Without you
it will be lonely,
but
I will live on
With or without you.
My life is not mine alone -
It's tethered to my family and friends.
For them,
I will live on
with or without you.

Night falls— once again,
the cold moon offers no answer—
Why did you leave?

I don’t want to die,
I want to cease to exist.
To never have been born
And never have lived
For my soul and body to disappear
For any memory of me to be gone
To dissolve into nothingness and
Never have been anything at all

Through whispered words and silent sighs,
We built a world beneath the skies.
We fought, we hurt, we drifted far,
But still, you shined like a distant star.
No matter the battles, no matter the pain,
Your nearness was where my heart remained.
In moments of silence, we found our space,
In each other’s eyes, a familiar place.
Though words may fail, and time may flee,
Just being near you was enough for me.
Now in my dreams, you softly appear,
A presence that brings both joy and fear.
We reach for words we can’t quite say,
But your warmth stays, in every way.
I carry you with me, not in regret,
But in the love we shared, the things unmet.
No matter the distance, no matter the years,
You’ll always be close, in my heart, my fears.
