26/M Each word I write carries a piece of who I was. Poetry is not just expression it is the way I breathe. If your heart has ever felt too heavy you will find a home here.
I am tired of searching tired of giving my heart to doors that never open fully I want a love with courage a soul that dares to stay to grow to walk with me sampai kahwin But what I find are echoes half-ready hearts ya da ya da excuses companions only for boredom never for forever Sad, isn’t it to want something real and always be met with almost So I laugh HAHAHAHHAHA because what else can I do when silence answers my hope when absence feels louder than love Please have a purpose in whatever you want in this life do not give hope when someone prays for something true Love is not a pastime not a bandage for loneliness not a shelter you abandon once the rain has passed Love is vow Love is courage Love is forever And though I am so tired I still carry this small flame believing somewhere someone will be ready not halfway but whole

The Weight of Searching
I’ll never love anybody the way I loved you That version of me soft blind and all in is gone But don’t mistake my healing for bitterness You didn’t ruin me You revealed me That scar It’s where I began again Stronger Sharper Wiser Not the same Never again I became someone even I didn’t expect And I owe that to the pain you left behind

From the Ashes of Us
I can’t face the night anymore It claws at my skin Too loud Too bright Too much Rooms won’t stay still Even silence feels like memory You said love would save me But I drowned anyway I was sweet once That version of me died somewhere between please stay and your silence Now I speak less Feel less Want less Not healing Just surviving Relief is not love Escape is not peace I don’t chase ghosts anymore

Too Bright
I used to share everything a laugh, a pain a slice of cake a song that hurt too much But now I live in whispers no more loud echoes in stories no more photos chasing validation no more telling the world look I’m okay Feels like everyone moved on wearing rings building homes and I’m still sitting where I first started that shame it bites I don’t say much these days don’t show much either just letting things be quietly This isn’t bitterness this is peace private quiet sacred Don’t ask why I disappeared just know I finally chose me

Soft Reset
I gave you effort time and space Held your heart like something fragile You said it’s hard to open up So I waited I understood I never forced never rushed Still I wasn’t enough I asked what we are You said just a friend So I stayed quiet Even when it hurt Even when your silence Felt louder than words You never posted me Never claimed me Said you weren’t ready And now There he is In your story With a heart on his face And kesayangan in the caption It’s only been a month You moved on Like I was nothing Blocked me like I didn’t matter Then unblocked Just to keep me hanging You said it wasn’t easy to open your heart But it looks easy now So was I just the in-between The maybe The practice run It breaks me Because I was real I was honest And you were temporary But I’ll carry this pain Not to stay broken But to remind myself Next time I’ll never beg to be chosen

After Everything
I think I’m broken beyond repair. Not in pieces you can pick up but in the quiet places no one sees. They say healing takes time, but what if time has already passed me by? What if the cracks run too deep, the damage too permanent, the light too far gone? I try. God knows, I try. To stand, to smile, to hold together what keeps slipping through. Like shattered glass held by nothing but will. They look at me like I’m supposed to be whole by now. Fixed. Better. But they don’t understand this isn’t pain. This is ruin. And you can’t glue something that’s been broken this many times. I’m tired. Of surviving. Of pretending. Of being the one left behind while others step into forever. I wish I knew when it would be my turn. But I don’t. And I don’t know how to live as someone I no longer recognize. Still, somehow, I’m here. Not healed. But here.

Still Here
I never asked for forever I just wanted to be seen To hold a place in your light Not be kept behind the screen You never had to say it I felt the leaving in your eyes In the way I stayed a secret While someone else got your sky I told myself it was enough The half-love, the waiting, the quiet But silence turned into questions And the answers just came in riots I would’ve stayed, you know Even when it hurt Even when I felt like a shadow Lost beneath your worth But you didn’t choose me And maybe you never did You moved on like I was nothing While I’m still learning how to live Still, I won’t curse your name I won’t beg you to stay Even if it shattered me I will love you Either way

Either Way
There was a time wasn’t there When your laugh filled the quiet When even silence felt soft because it belonged to us Now all I hear is that space where you used to be I walk past places we knew The ghost of your voice clinging to the air Every streetlight flicker feels like a reminder Every sunset feels like it watched us fall apart I thought I saw you yesterday Or maybe I only wanted to The world blurs Because I’m still looking for your outline in the crowd Is this what you wanted To leave me tangled in what ifs In a song that keeps playing Even when you stopped listening I’ve tried to forget But forgetting you is like trying to unhear the waves Or untaste the rain It’s always been about you And maybe it always will

About You (OURS)
they step into love, into family, into forever, while i stand still, in the waiting room of life. they ask me, “when’s your turn?” and i smile, but my heart whispers, “i wish i knew.” still holding on, to a hope that feels like it’s slipping through my fingers, yet somehow, i can’t let it go

The Waiting Room
I’m not living anymore I’m just here Breathing Existing Waking up because I have to Not because I want to The truth is something inside me broke And no one noticed Not even the one I gave everything to I used to believe in love In building something real But now I just watch life pass me by People falling in love Getting married Starting families And I’m still stuck Left behind Wondering what’s so wrong with me that I keep ending up alone I wasn’t asking for perfect Just to be seen To be chosen To be loved without having to beg for it But now I don’t even feel human Just a body moving through days that all feel the same I laugh when I have to Smile so no one asks questions But deep down I’m tired Tired of pretending this doesn’t hurt Tired of acting like I’m okay I’m not I’m just trying to survive a life that doesn’t feel like mine anymore
