I tried to protect myself from your embrace
But that is where I found a safe place
A touch, a hold that felt secure
A grasp that washed parts of me that felt insecure

A rasp that spoke life to my core
A company that wasn't full of greed or wanted more
A companion that gave meaning to equally yoked
A peace that felt genuine, not tampered or provoked

You gave me a healing that I never knew existed
But unfortunately the rain has come and now you have exited
You showed me a fondness that meant more than bliss
However this is where our path ends, bitter and sweet

My souls embrace
I cannot wait to meet you.
I hope you know—a love like no other awaits you.
A love that does not seek, nor count the wrongs you do;
A love that may be broken, yet always stays true.

My Soul’s Compass
Rejoice in a love that is selfless,
A love that longs to serve you, tireless.
A heart that will be all you need—your steady vice,
A faithful force, through fire and ice.

Oh, find me, my love—
I await you.
Inspired by the instrumental 'The night we meet' by Dramatic Violin

Beware of the man who lies awake,
The man who quietly observes.
Secretly stalks and takes claim of breaths,
His steps like feathers fluttering to the earth.

Beware of the woman who lies awake,
The woman who clutches onto resentment.
Anger is her daily bread—
Her blade strikes deeper than her words.

Beware of the child who lies awake,
Who takes with greed, then flees away.
Where sin and schemes will be their guide,
A path they'll tread with no dismay.

Beware the dangers that lurk at night,
For shadows stir when night takes hold.
They spread their wings, take silent flight,
And leave behind a tale untold.

Escape me, ugly feeling,
Run away and never rear your head.
You've got me twisting, reeling—
A selfish need that craves to be fed.

Rid yourself from my presence,
Unwanted, yet you still remain.
A vile reek, a suffocating presence,
Draining my lifeforce with anger and pain.

Escape me, unwanted being,
For the hell you've put me through.
You took pleasure in my wailing—
So leave me be, foul infatuation.

It's okay to be tired,  
It's okay to feel weak.  
We all have our moments—  
That doesn’t mean you’re weak.  

Let the tears fall, let your heart breathe,  
Release the daggers your own mind weaves.  

Hold yourself—  
You're the only one who knows its depths.  
Take your time,  
Trust me, it won't bring your death.  

You love yourself more than you know,  
It's in the tears, the screams, the fight—  
That’s how it shows

Tragedy...
A friend that needs companion
An illness that takes every piece of me
A feeling so familiar
Nothing now seems peculiar.

An acquaintance to abuse
A fiend addicted to the misuse
A misery I create on my own
Confirmation bias - my mind seeks this frown

A friend I don’t need, a foe I can't evade,
Yet peace I've made with your embrace.
A beautiful tragedy, laid bare in place
