33/F/Nowhere A Rebellious woman
Loyalty means you in every draft and every recreation; I revive you in each second of life and death. Wildly, I crave you—until the edge of the unknown. —Kira

Him
Is it loyalty, I wonder, to craft you into every corner of my world? To fill my home with your shadow, even though you wander far… perhaps with someone else? I opened Shein, and I spent hours designing every piece I could, placing your image on it: the blanket I wrap myself in alone, the pillows I hug when the world crushes me, the mug I sip my green tea from, the Locket necklaces, the candlesticks, the LED lights, the rose-gold and white crystal engraved necklaces… I crafted everything myself, and I do not own a single thing yet… All I have done is place the order, and now I wait for them to arrive, while my heart screams your name in the silence of the empty room…. Not just for loyalty… But to satisfy my vanity, to feed my desperate need for you, for your gaze to follow me in every corner, your smile perhaps… perhaps just for me, because I am me… because I crave you obsessively and sickly… I wear all the necklaces engraved with your image in my imagination now, as if my heart could hold you, as if my soul could feel you near, even though you are not here yet… Perhaps this is not loyalty in the traditional sense, and perhaps the world will never know of this love, of these acts of devotion unseen by anyone, of this beautiful torment that fills me and kills me at the same time… I want to see you in every corner of the house, in the living room, the bedroom, the kitchen… on the walls, the tables, the shelves, in every thought hidden in my mind that no one else can see… I want you to always smile at me, to be present even in your absence, to fill the void that cannot heal… Perhaps there is nothing else I can do but wait… wait in silence, in aching patience, trying to make you a home, to make your love a warmth that fills my life, that makes me feel loyal, even if the world thinks I am lost, useless, soulless…

I have grown afraid of awareness itself— of awakening into a moment where I cannot speak with you, of being alone without the ability to reach you whenever fear grips me. I will go on chasing dopamine, feeding it, raising it higher, just to escape. And so, I lose consciousness every day, because whenever I return to awareness, I remember you, and I break into relentless tears. There is no savior from the desire to end it all, and no savior from the terror of the end itself.

Untitled
Just creating another forsaken album… A hundred so-called passionate videos, with poetic feelings, lipstick, white nails that once lured you when you were drunk, tears and dark days, and hundreds of cigarettes drenched in sorrow— the videos and pictures I used to take for you, and you would confess, when you were no longer in your demonic haze, that you loved my sleepy eyes, and wished you could fall asleep inside them. I keep them, let them pile up, until you stumble back home with your emotions, longing to die beside me, starving for my tenderness, aching to devour all of me. No fire nor ice could mend me but your moody existence. Your gentle voice when you are drowning in a good mood, high, untouchable. I knew I held you tighter than you ever guessed— until I fractured into fragile glass. And still, you made me believe that nothing could heal me from your merciless game. I am starving to wrap you in my embrace, to engulf you in a tenderness that would shield you— even if you arrived only to set it on fire. What havoc could ever be as deadly as you letting go of my hand, asking me to pretend that life goes on? So I became a woman in black— pale, thoughtful, melancholic, sipping and devouring what poisons my mind, what dares to shape your smile upon strangers’ faces. What brings you alive through my isolation? Whenever I want to summon you, I only look at the sofa and smile, and your imaginary smile smiles back at me— a hallucination so perfect, I would die to keep it alive. It’s not about time, nor endings. It’s a great starvation, for a single milligram of your presence. Nothing is darker than confessing you are my last resort— come, and shed my soul away. I am grieving— poetically, deadly. But who else is here to witness my suffering? Who counts my tears, only to tell you later that Nicole is not fleeing your memory, not hating the dark whispers of your name, but craving— yes, craving— to weep over you, because that is all she has left to prove how violently, how ruinously, she loved you. And in the end, when all illusions fade, when silence devours the night, I return to the videos and pictures, to my sleepy eyes that you once loved, wishing, always wishing, that you could ask me to sleep inside them again.

Inhaling havoc, devouring poison disguised as sweetness, showering my skin with acid rain— all of it feels gentler than accepting happiness that does not include you. I refuse to let you slip away, not from my mind, not from my days. What destroys me is what I crave most: pain, self-inflicted wounds, the intoxicating addiction of suffering. I hunger for death in countless shapes, yet even death itself would be nothing compared to the silence of losing you. Neither happiness nor fortune could ever convince me to worship anything but your name. There is no hope after you. That is why everything around me bears the echo of you— the garden, the days, my passwords, my very breath. I wake each morning only to invent new ways to prove the depth of my love. I remember the places we wandered together, the times I lifted you from the abyss even after you left me broken, beaten, still I stood— shielding you from yourself. And yet, my curse remains: the thought that you might find peace in arms that are not mine. It tears me apart, this jealousy that burns like an eternal wound. A mother always waits for her child, no matter how rebellious, how cruel, how heartless. For even the cruelest child is carved from her heart. And I— I have begun to flee from all places today, because everywhere I look, I find only shadows of you. I linger in their corners, like a mother who has lost her child forever, still clinging to the hope of finding him in the places he once wandered with her. As for my family, who will see me only when they receive my corpse, they will see your name tattooed and carved above my heart, and then they will understand that if they had been by my side, you would not have left, and I would not have descended into the hell of days. You closed the door from the right, they from the left, and there was nothing left but a chair and a noose to feed upon for the remaining days. I left you all behind, and you, Daniel, I loved to be the mother you wished for yourself— the mother I had always wished to be for myself, to love you unconditionally even if you were poison running through my veins. I never punished you with silent treatment, never hurt you, never left you— even when you left me, even when you replaced the lock and left me alone in the street at night, refusing to let me in. I did not leave you… I tried with all of you, but you all betrayed me. And I— I will always wait for you, Daniel, despite the whispers, despite the karma that binds us. Even if you vanish into another’s night, know this: I still love you, with every shattered bone of my being, with every scar I carve to keep you near. I wrote these lines for you, in the ink of my own blood, because I know, deep in my soul, the day will come when you will search for these words, and then you will know, finally, how fiercely, how endlessly, I loved you.

I would rather be your greatest sin, The one you crushed with your own hands — emotionally, mentally — Than to pray for someone better. It is better to stop here, No longing for a life beyond you. You yearn for money, grand houses, shining cars. And I — I yearn only for you. You used me as a bridge, a stepping stone toward your dreams, And yet, I prayed you would be my last harbor, my refuge. And still, I ache to be your great sin, your Karma. I want to watch you stumble through misfortunes, To see despair darken your days as it once darkened mine. I want you to return to my Hello Poetry website, To read, with grief, how fiercely I loved you, After you lose me forever. Yes, you will return — that is all you will ever have from me, For I will no longer breathe in this world. And despite all I write, this is me — trembling with guilt and fear for you. I do not wish to be cruel, I do not wish to hurt you. Yet you have broken me so deeply, I laugh through my tears. I love you so much that it terrifies me, And I fear that my love, unguarded, will burn you, Even as I ache to be the shadow in your joy, The misfortune that follows you like a whisper. I long for days so deadly that nature itself rebels against you, Yet I tremble at the thought of your pain. I want you to weep over my grave, begging my forgiveness, To stand straight and implore God a hundred times to soften my heart, To fear the nights and the days, Not knowing what else my Karma has reserved. I do not crave a new happy life, nor a perfect husband. I yearn only to be the one who makes you wish to turn back time, To keep me, to pamper me, to dare not touch me, To dare not gaslight me. And yet, a piece of me cries for your safety, For your peace, for your heart untouched by my wrath. I want you to ache for the hours lost, So that whenever I wrote you a poem, You would read it with passion, not remind me that you dislike reading. And still, I wish your nights be gentle, Even as I long to be the storm that haunts your dreams. I learned to code games for you — For birthdays, anniversaries, every trivial and sacred moment. I gave all I had to give. But now… after you lose me, After I bear the weight of loving you to death, I see it coming. You will fall for another who will never love you, Who trades your feelings for coins, Who uses you without care. I feel it approaching: The times you hung up, calling me stupid, The times you threw things at me, The moments I sent voice messages, crying, begging for your ear, And you replied once — a single, hollow message — I deleted them all, I did not listen. The times you reminded me my family didn’t love me, That you were the only one who did. The times you left me on my own, The times you threw me from your car, telling me to take an Uber home. Do you think you are spared from this? God is just. Yet my hope clings: I will watch it all from my grave — Seeing you return to the sites I built for you, Rereading the hundreds of messages I wrote, Over and over, haunted by my absence. I know it is coming. God knows my heart, knows that your tears are my weakness. Perhaps I will even ask Him to forgive you, Even after all the pain carved into me. I smoke endlessly, searching for ways to punish myself, For I was never enough. I wish for you never to ask for forgiveness, For I will no longer exist to answer. You have shattered me a million times. And Karma is real. You will know, in that moment. No Dodge, no sea-side mansion, no Rolex upon your wrist, Could ever replace the love I poured. The woman who loved you madly once sold her phone, Even her Nintendo Switch — not for their worth, But to buy one more hour, one more breath, while you threatened to leave. She thought: If I can buy one more hour, perhaps I can save you, Perhaps I can hold on to what slips through my fingers. She gave them up, not for their value, but for a chance to keep you a little longer. And for herself, she bought only a cheap phone, to survive, So she would not remain with nothing. Yet still, you humiliated her, drenched her in water, As if her sacrifices were ashes. What cruelty is this? What blindness, not to see her love as the true currency — Not gold, not games, not phones. Your birthday will come, and she will do nothing for you. You will measure what I gave against what she offers. Yet the true torment will be your love for her. You will attempt to erase my Karma — Every act of kindness, charity in my name, good deeds for my sake — But my shadow will haunt you. You will long for that girl to be me in spirit, yet live as her. I know that day is coming. I feel it approaching like a storm on the horizon. Do you have the strength to endure it? I doubt it. And still… despite all… I wish my journey to end here, at this station. For I have loved you beyond measure. I desire no greater joy, no replacement, no reward. I seek only the ending. I am a woman matured in heart and soul, Certain of my desires, unwavering in my truth. I know perfectly well that the video games I made for your birthday, Which you humored me by pretending to like, You will play later. You will wish it had been that other woman who made them. You will rage at God as I have gone to Him, Questioning why He did not give me better, Why He took me, Why He did not place me with the best man, Why He did not make you forget me, Why He let me die grieving over you. And you will cry to Him every day, telling Him how much you love the woman beside you — But she will never love you. Only then will you realize there is no escape from the justice of the Lord. All you had to do was treat me kindly, wipe my tears, soothe my fear — It would have cost nothing. Yet you chose to hurt me. I only need You, my Lord, to gently pat my heart until I meet You… Just for this time, I long for a handful of ice upon my soul, A soft frost upon my burning heart, And nothing else but that… until everything comes to an end. And yet, in the midst of this torment, I tremble with love for you. I fear for you with a depth that shatters me. I do not wish you pain, and yet I long to be the shadow that darkens your steps, The unlucky star that follows your every dawn. I love you so fiercely, yet my love is my vengeance. I want to save you, and I want you to suffer — All at once, all at the same time.

I dream of you, calling my name for help. And I remember how truthful I was— thinking of ways to reach your hand, though I knew this was only a dream. I saw the glimmer of a crushed tear falling from you, and I burned— with pain, with rage for you. I tried to catch you, ignoring the doubt, ignoring the truth of sleep. All I knew— you are always my child, and I will follow no other truth, even if it costs me my entire life. I wept, calling your name a thousand times, trying to soothe you while you cried. I wanted— all at once— to catch your hand, to kiss your forehead, to calm you, to forgive you, to pray to God that this was real, not a dream. I woke, and cried in rage. How could you be only in my dreams, and not in my present, nor my future? When I woke, I took revenge on myself— smoked two packs of cigarettes, stood beneath a cold-water shower— knowing it is, scientifically, a “benefit,” but choosing it because it is the thing I hate the most in life. I denied myself popsicles, and every small pleasure my body craves. That terrifies me. Yet all prayers belong to you. I wish to touch your fear again and tear it apart— to steal you from the darkness, to consume your terror, your misery. I spend my days without you, without your honeyed words— the ones you and I both know were only for your gain, vanishing the moment I refused to give what you wanted. And still, despite knowing, I loved you. God knows I am ready to take you back, to accept your sins, your narcissism. I prefer to cry beside you than laugh with someone else. It terrifies me— the thought of being happy with someone else. It chills me to imagine my loyalty belonging to anyone but you, to imagine walking past you and pretending you’re not there. I reject it all. I want to remain forever and always available to you— so that if you ever knock on my door, you’ll find the heart that once held you still burning, still dying for you. I cannot help but stay loyal. I made a book cover with the ache to write you hundreds of poems. And I bought you a vital necklace— to mark the memory of our first meeting, to symbolize my love for you, to show that every part of me belongs to you. I intended to fill it with my blood— a proof, in the most extreme, impossible way, of my love for you. But know this— this necklace is just a simple gift. You know, it is not only drops of my blood for you, I am entirely yours. I am ready, in every possible way, to prove my love to you— but you are not here to receive it. To prove, in every unreasonable, impossible way, that I love you— that I can do nothing in this life but yearn for you. Day and night taste bitter. The sea feels far away, hope feels far away— and you. When you blocked me, I hired multiple Ubers just to use their phones to reach you. I called, I cried, I said “I love you” again and again, while you hung up. Even the drivers felt the intensity of my love for you, but you did not. You fed on my tears, yet I do not blame you now. I am only afraid— afraid every time I want to call you, afraid every time I press your number, my heart races, my colon aches, and I pull back. Now I speak to God about you, to the world about you, to every wave, every bird, every cat that crosses my path— I ask them to pray for your return. Yes, I want you, and the thought of you being with someone else terrifies me. Even knowing that your disorder thrives on staying for gain, that you will love only yourself, and only remain with those who feed you materially, emotionally, spiritually— I still love you. Sometimes I pity you, sometimes I blame your family, sometimes I fear for you from your own self, the self that commands evil. Sometimes I fear someone might report you, and you end up in prison… I am full of fear and ruin. God, save me. I am terrifyingly yearning for you, without confidence, with great fear that God might give me someone “better.” But He knows I need no one better than you. You are my complete, complicated drug. If I had great luck with another, I’d give it to my sisters so they could be happy— but for me, You and only you. I would spend my life fixing your uncontainable pieces, putting them together, so we could be whole. I fear being happy with anyone else. You are my child, my husband, the thought of you being alone and hungry at night kills my sleep. I dare not abandon your childish soul. I must be prepared to always be there. My Lord, I know You love me, I know You want to give me the best— but I need him, and only him. No one can touch my feelings but him. I am ready to give up my happiness for the honor of being torn apart beside him.

I wanted— all at once— to catch your hand, to kiss your forehead, to calm you, to forgive you, to pray to God that this was real, not a dream. I woke, and cried in rage. How could you be only in my dreams, and not in my present, nor my future? When I woke, I took revenge on myself— smoked two packs of cigarettes, stood beneath a cold-water shower— knowing it is, scientifically, a “benefit,” but choosing it because it is the thing I hate the most in life. I denied myself popsicles, and every small pleasure my body craves. That terrifies me. Yet all prayers belong to you. I wish to touch your fear again and tear it apart— to steal you from the darkness, to consume your terror, your misery. I spend my days without you, without your honeyed words— the ones you and I both know were only for your gain, vanishing the moment I refused to give what you wanted. And still, despite knowing, I loved you. God knows I am ready to take you back, to accept your sins, your narcissism. I prefer to cry beside you than laugh with someone else. It terrifies me— the thought of being happy with someone else. It chills me to imagine my loyalty belonging to anyone but you, to imagine walking past you and pretending you’re not there. I reject it all. I want to remain forever and always available to you— so that if you ever knock on my door, you’ll find the heart that once held you still burning, still dying for you. I cannot help but stay loyal. I made a book cover with the ache to write you hundreds of poems. And I bought you a vital necklace— to mark the memory of our first meeting, to symbolize my love for you, to show that every part of me belongs to you. I intended to fill it with my blood— a proof, in the most extreme, impossible way, of my love for you. But know this— this necklace is just a simple gift. You know, it is not only drops of my blood for you, I am entirely yours. I am ready, in every possible way, to prove my love to you— but you are not here to receive it. To prove, in every unreasonable, impossible way, that I love you— that I can do nothing in this life but yearn for you. Day and night taste bitter. The sea feels far away, hope feels far away— and you. When you blocked me, I hired multiple Ubers just to use their phones to reach you. I called, I cried, I said “I love you” again and again, while you hung up. Even the drivers felt the intensity of my love for you, but you did not. You fed on my tears, yet I do not blame you now. I am only afraid— afraid every time I want to call you, afraid every time I press your number, my heart races, my colon aches, and I pull back. Now I speak to God about you, to the world about you, to every wave, every bird, every cat that crosses my path— I ask them to pray for your return. Yes, I want you, and the thought of you being with someone else terrifies me. Even knowing that your disorder thrives on staying for gain, that you will love only yourself, and only remain with those who feed you materially, emotionally, spiritually— I still love you. Sometimes I pity you, sometimes I blame your family, sometimes I fear for you from your own self, the self that commands evil. Sometimes I fear someone might report you, and you end up in prison… I am full of fear and ruin. God, save me. I am terrifyingly yearning for you, without confidence, with great fear that God might give me someone “better.” But He knows I need no one better than you. You are my complete, complicated drug. If I had great luck with another, I’d give it to my sisters so they could be happy— but for me, You and only you. I would spend my life fixing your uncontainable pieces, putting them together, so we could be whole. I fear being happy with anyone else. You are my child, my husband, the thought of you being alone and hungry at night kills my sleep. I dare not abandon your childish soul. I must be prepared to always be there. My Lord, I know You love me, I know You want to give me the best— but I need him, and only him. No one can touch my feelings but him. I am ready to give up my happiness for the honor of being torn apart beside him.

You were always my one and only child My most cherished desirable responsibility I long to carry you away from those toxic exploitative friends who use you break you and tear you apart Whenever they wound you you come and pour your anger upon me and still I welcome it because I am utterly yours I wish to watch over you to follow the trace of your steps to guard you from every shadow of trouble All those women whom your handsomeness mesmerizes— you might play your silent games with them just as you did with me— but they never fall for it That breaks you shatters you further and yet here I remain secretly I watch you your eyes fixed on her photo on your phone the first woman who utterly ruined you witnessing the rest of your soul bleed while I am no nurse only a heart that loves you beyond reason I chase you with prayers with madness with unwavering determination to remain by your side I am gently desperately in love with your short-tempered mind with the way you seek refuge in me— even though you never promised to stay forever I feel as if I am here only until you find your way back to her only until she can shatter you more I am sorry I cannot stay neutral cannot shield myself cannot distance myself from the gravity of you I loved you with all the pain in me— my family’s negligence my scars from emotional and physical abuse— and I came to you with a heart whole and overflowing, ready to be your wife your mother your sanctuary your entire world How can I silence my mind when it tortures me with your image when I find you in every fresh scent in every drop of rain in every whisper of nature in every wave that kisses the shore? I am not hallucinating; I am wholly endlessly in love with you I ache to save you— from yourself from the trouble that surrounds you from the sins that gnaw at your spirit— praying that God will not take you away not now not from me What more can I do to convince the world that I would endure your storm your borderlines your fury endlessly infinitely without hesitation? I love you save me from the torment of worrying over you Save my soul and return to me unscathed No medicine no sleeping pill can still this restless heart— not even Seroquel which once lulled me into forgetfulness What prayers what sacred whispers could possibly call you back to me? Come back— I am terrified of losing you for you are the very reason I am still alive My sweetheart Daniel with every prayer I whisper I feel the world rising between us A thousand invisible walls attempting to tear us apart With each heartfelt supplication misfortune shadows your path And the world conspires to convince me that you are not meant for me Yet I defy the impossible For I have loved you beyond reason And I will never abandon my faith that miracles can bloom even in the darkest nights No matter how harsh you are no matter how you wound I know the weight of your days The loneliness of childhood The sting of a family that treated you differently from your siblings… I carry it all quietly in my heart, And I will never let go of you No matter what storms may come No matter how fierce the night I will love you forever —Your Loyal Temporary Wife

You ruined me completely, Yet I still dare not close my eyes— Afraid to meet your gaze, That lures me through the chaos of my soul I cannot reach you, nor forget you, Yet I wish to name my garden after you, With its spring flowers that might infect you With gentleness and tenderness Still, I dare not fall asleep or dream, For your presence would trap me once again And though I’d never confess this to you— I secretly cherish this sacred torment, truly I do

Sacred Torment
I missed our fights, Dark hours and endless nights, And finally, our poetic moments If time could return, I would choose you even harder, Etching you deeper into the core of my soul
