She wrote me poems,
promised to give me whatever my heart desired,
wanted all of me in return.
I never felt the need to shrink,
there was always room for us both.

She was kind, caring,
utterly passionate—
and when the universe conspired against us,
she found a loophole.

My words never dried
in her quiet curiosity,
not like they did with you.
She longed for me,
craved my presence,
just as I once did with you.

She’s everything you’re not,
and though my soul feels safe,
my heart is warm,
held in comfort,
she’s not you.

perhaps she was lost in thought
publicly losing herself
letting vulnerability
quietly consume her eyes
for mere seconds
only to vanish
before anyone could notice

I find myself talking to the ghost of you
along the way
breaking promises I made to myself
I don’t know how I ended up here again
how I’ve returned to this miserable habit
of keeping you alive in my mind

I fill my thoughts with images of you and him
She’s moved on, for God's sake.
I remind myself, over and over
Still, I catch my eyes searching the sky
at least were under the same stars
thats what you always said
I wonder if you remember

Do you think of me when you look up?
Do you remember the things we said
when we were madly in love
when our hearts were intertwined
torn into pieces only we could fit together
or is he all that’s left of you now?

this is the year
my year
I shall put me before them
This is the year
I’ll learn to play the Guitar
this is the year
I’ll chase my dreams, my passions
never daring to let them slip away
not even for a second
it would be my only obsession
this is the year
I let go of the idea of us
burying the hope of you ever loving me
again
this is the year
I try to say goodbye to the distractions
chained on me like anchor rocks
pulling me further and further down
this is the year
I rise above them
claiming the fate of me back
I wrote this piece at the start of the year. You see, for the last years, or maybe all my life I’ve been trying to chase passions, to spend my time on things that free me, but I always find a way back to my old destructive habits. Self sabotaging myself, welcoming every distraction, every smallest bit of  satisfaction. Prioritising short term happiness. And as the years passed I found regret to grow next to it. And I just can’t help but wonder, who would I have been now, if I had dared to leg go? If I had chased my dreams? I won’t ever know that, but I’m still young I still have time I tell myself. I’ll do it tomorrow, I’ll start next month, and suddenly I’m here, in the new year. And time is so funny and scary cause it flies by, and before you know it, those opportunities you had, is long gone. They won’t wait for you, the world keeps spinning you see, living, even through your stuck at the beginning. The world does not wait for you.  And maybe just maybe you won’t have the privilege of putting it off till the next year. Anyways as I say every year, this is the year, my year.

there’s these words
that we used to whisper in secret
words that we claimed to be ours
now I find myself haunted by them
they are just words after all
words that used to be meaningless
before they found you
words that take me back in time
to a place where I loved you

I’ve walked this road
a thousand times before
yet I’ve never truly walked it
physically I’m here moving my body
slowly but surely arriving the destination
however my soul
is everything but present
its losing itself over memories
over what ifs
those **** what ifs
replaying the past like a favourite song
over and over again
reminiscing over what’s lost
what’s yet to be found
trying somehow in someway
to justify the space between
where my mind drifts
and where my feet land

I wait
The clouds turn to ash
I wait
Trying to find another path
I wait
I look at you laugh
I wait
Holding on to the bare minimum
I wait
The battery on my phone died, so i waited. Then i started to think about waiting, which inspired this poem. I wrote it on a green school board. And as my phone came back to life i decided to post it here. Its been a while after all. I wish you a nice day
