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
