In the soft glow of your sorrow,
where the sun fades, and shadows follow,
I see the tender ache in your verse,
each line a whisper, a silent curse.

“Seems Endless,” you write, and the moon listens,
reflecting the tears that your soul glistens.
In the night’s embrace, you break, you bend,
hoping the darkness would never end.

In Missed Connection, your heart speaks loud,
a love lost, yet covered by a shroud.
“I would trade my life for another day,”
for a smile that once chased your clouds away.

Guilt weighs heavy in your heart’s core,
a stain that no tears can restore.
But your words are rich, like wine aged deep,
capturing the pain that makes us weep.

In The Cost, you share the price of love,
how dreams shatter, pushed and shoved.
Yet in your heart, you still hope, still give,
for in your sorrow, we all learn to live.

You say it’s Too Late to turn back time,
yet in your regret, there’s beauty sublime.
To let go of love, to feel that sting,
a silent price that time cannot bring.

Love’s Altruism, you so plainly say,
is not in promises, but in the day-to-day.
To give with no return, to let love flow,
a lesson in grace that we all should know.

Jess, in every word you breathe,
there’s a truth that we all believe.
Your pain is poetry, your sorrow a song,
in the melody of life where we all belong.
Through every line, you paint the skies,
a beautiful soul who dares to cry.
Your words, like whispers, will always stay,
an echo of love that won’t fade away.
In every poem, in every plea,
Jess, you are the heart of poetry.

Immortality
a falling star,
drawn to another,
as if the universe
had always known.

Jīn Sīyǎ Mar 3
Like a storm, unannounced you came,
a force of nature I couldn’t understand;
when I closed the doors to my heart,
you  slipped in through the cracks.

Like a wildfire, fierce and untamed,
I felt your love and burned bright;
And though I knew it wouldn’t last,
I held on tightly to the fading past.

If not with a promise of forever,
why did fate bring us together?
A love so deep, yet bound to end,
you became a friend I couldn't defend.

I let you go, and it broke me inside,
saw you walk away, my tears I did hide;
thought in friendship I'd find some peace,
a fragile solace, a bittersweet release.

But again fate was cruel and unkind,
a choice made by your burdened mind;
the pain you carried, I never could heal,
a wound so deep, it didn’t feel real.

Is it a punishment for loving too much?
For giving my heart to your gentle touch?
The sleepless nights, the endless tears,
are haunted by your pain and fears.

If only I could have been there,
To ease your burden, your despair;
as a friend, a stranger, a listening ear,
perhaps I could have kept you near.

But fate, for some, has a cruel design,
stealing the stars, leaving darkness behind;
though our memories will always remain,
in my life through joy and pain.

i think you deserve a soft epilogue,
my love.
you are a good person
and  you've suffered enough.

You saw it coming,
you knew it
I had my chance,
I blew it
You held my hand
We walked to the edge

I couldn’t jump
A missed opportunity that I wish I had the chance to do over.

I clock into work,
with dried-up, dead eyes,
pulling myself together somehow,
trying in vain to hide the cracks.

I drag myself through the hours,
my mind numb, yet restless,
unable to silence the noise,
the endless chatter of thoughts.

The same keeps replaying-
the endless hum of expectations,
the echoes of lost passion,
and the whispers of a life unlived.

This place was for me once,
a source of solace and purpose,
now feels like a river,
drowning me in the weight of routine.

The innocent smiles of the kids,
once enough to light my days,
now feel distant,
like stars I can see but cannot touch.

The joy they once brought,
a happy feeling I no longer feel;
yet the need to be occupied,
brings me back to the same place.

Nothing excites me now,
nothing comforts me,
except the memories you left behind-
fragile, fleeting, yet fiercely alive.

Like treasures in the dark,
I keep seeking them,
pieces of us and myself,  
holding on to each one of them.

Because those moments of joy,
buried beneath the weight of time,
are simply what I want to,
need to remember.
I will love you in every lifetime
I will find you when we were apart from each other
