You were darkness,
I searched for your light,
I've realized I'm worthy of the sun.

No longer fooled by sweet disguise,
She shields her soul from judging eyes.
For trust, once given, now denied,
Leaves only emptiness inside.

Magnificent ray, beyond wonders
Bewildered in your awe
Hope in your orange hue

Though days are hard
It may feel empty and sad
Lost in a parable of life

Sunset you are the most beautiful sight
Painted my sky with your golden ray
You give color before my darkness
A hope of dawn for a new day

No need for words, the heart can see,
A mirrored depth, where spirits be.
A knowing glance, a silent hum,
Two souls entwined, as one they've come.

Where in this world, of fleeting things,
Soulmate love, forever sings.
A pure connection, thru thick and thin
My platonic soulmate , were not meant to be.

I keep it hidden every feeling deep
A private space where my emotions sleep
I say your name in silent, gentle ways
And build a world of remembered days.

I told my soul to rest to let your absence be
But why this constant falling make this soul's insanity
Each glimpse, a bitter nectar a joy that cuts like pain
How do I unweave this feeling?

This feeling of consuming chain
I've waited through the silence
Where dreams have turned to gray
Now I'm steeped in blue, where longing holds its sway.

To my platonic soulmate,
We were not meant to be romantic.
We were just meant to be.

Although the love we have each other
is undeniable and although the love
we have each other exists,

It was not meant to stretch beyond
the pure unions of friendship.
It was not meant to stretch at our heartstrings
but instead it was meant to gently massage them into peace.
It was not meant to stretch your leg over my shoulder
at three o'clock in the morning
after a night filled with laughter and conversation.

It was not meant to stretch past the boundaries we subconsciously
set to ensure that things don't get complicated.
It was not meant to stretch our connection into emotional destinations that have no return tickets if we took that plunge.

Romance is not the only reason the universe brings souls together.
Growth and love can exist without it.
Perhaps we were not meant to be romantic
Perhaps we were only meant to be.

I knew this feeling clear and deep
The way the world takes on a hue
Of vibrant light a softened grace
A smile reflected in your face.

This quiet bond a secret kept
Where others fail and others slept
We'll find our love in silent grace
Defined by us in time and space.

Like stars they burn and burn away
Leave me in cold empty day
This path I chose feels like a winding snare
Has led me only to despair.

Heartbreak isn't just about
shattering of love
It's the quiet collapse of the
world you built around someone
It's the mornings that feel to heavy
the nights that stretch too long
and the spaces between your ribs were
their absence now lingers
You don't just lose a person
You lose the version of yourself that existed with them
and though the pain feels endless like an echo that
refuses to fade there's a strange kind of beauty
In the way it reshapes you
Because even in breaking
You're becoming and one day you'll realize you're stronger
for surviving that ache.

I chased the butterflies your actions spun
Only to learn they were a phase undone
My subtle words a love I longed to share
Met with a silence a feeling beyond repair

A single word and I'd have crossed the waves
And build a world that I long to dream
But deeper knowing brings a deeper fall
Your crave for silence to escape it all

I wished you knew this hope so frail and slight
Longed for your words to make it truly bright
To bury moments and release your hold
And if I asked, what story would be told?

To hold back love is to betray
A silent truth we push away
For hearts that feel yet dare not say,
are only lying in delay.

You painted shadows, on my mental wall,
A darkened hallway, where I fear to crawl.
Each creaking sound, a phantom in the night,
A whispered threat, steals my inner light.
I walk on eggshells, fearing every tread,
The anxious path, your presence has instead.

Time won’t wait, nor will the sky,
So chase your dreams, let fear pass by.
Speak your truth, don’t miss your chance
This moment’s yours, so live, so dance.

A sweet voice in your written word,
A stolen hour, like none I've heard.
Mr. Sunshine you caught my falling hair,
A fleeting joy, I never knew.

This fragile bloom, a whispered grace,
A stolen moment, distance ,time and space
Moment's breath, a held, exquisite dream
The heart's canvas, memory's trace.

I lay before you what my soul can bear,
A simple truth, a breath of living air.
Yet, raise no towers on my earthly dust,
For I am but a hand, in which you trust.

Her curtains are blue.
You painted it yellow.

The path we tread, a winding way,
The garden blooms, or fades to gray,
And in your soul, what flowers sway?

Time pass by and seasons turn
That first love's ember still burn
A memory cherished, bittersweet
A feeling nothing can defeat

For I feel love and free
You opened up my heart to me
And though our paths may now diverge
My first love's flame will always surge.

"You said you like me, but I'm not sure you
understand what that means."

In silent nights, I call your name,
Yet echoes fade like distant flame.
A love once bright, now dim and cold,
A story left in sorrow told.

The stars still shine, the moon still glows,
But in my heart, the shadow grows.
For love remains, though you have flown,
And I am here, yet still alone.

Slow down, dear heart
Let your feelings lie
Not in your storm but in
His quietness rain

I fell in love with all you are
Not just the light but every scar
The quiet truths you couldn’t share
I saw them still I deeply cared.

Your heart spoke softly though lips stayed still
A gentle pull I couldn’t will
You hid a part afraid I’d flee
But even then you had all of me.

Trust me when I say it’s true
I’ve loved you long before I knew
Before the world before the name
My love for you still burned the same.

And if your secret held you tight
I held you closer through the night
Because real love, it sees right through
And I was always seeing you.

I send my words upon the whispered wind,
A fragile message, hoping it will find
Your listening ear, your heart's receptive space,
To bridge the gap, and time's relentless chase.
Each gust a sigh, a longing to be near,
A phantom touch, to banish every fear.

Love unspoken is a whispered lie
A truth restrained left high and dry
For anything less than ' I love you'
Is a heart denying what it already knew.

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood
One leads to love, the other, goodbye.
My heart it trembles, torn in two,
Which choice to make, what shall I do?

Sometimes we need to slow our pace
To breathe, to find a quieter space.
To feel the sun in gentle grace
And watch the leaves drift from their place.

Sometimes we're lost, unsure, undone
But all we need is lift our eyes to sun.
She shines so high, her warmth so near
Like moonlight soft when night draws near.

In every shadow, light will hide
In every storm, the tides subside.
So take a breath, let peace abide
Everything will turn, be still inside.

Love isn't just a word to say,
but the quiet ways we choose to stay.
A touch, a glance, the space we fill
Love is present even still.

His grace is more than we can see,
A light where every fear is shed.
Let go, let God , He knows the way,
He writes the night and lights the day.

"Do not worry," He gently says,
"I'm with you through the darkest days."
So dry your tears, lift up your eyes
He's by your side, forever wise.

I do not fear love
I fear the gravity of him.
He is the storm wrapped in sunlight,
the gentle ruin of every wall I built.

His presence is poetry
a language my soul has always known
but never dared to speak.
He is fire beneath silk,
the hush before a kiss,
the ocean tide that pulls at the shores of my restraint.

To fall for him
would be to surrender my wings
to a sky that might never let me go and yet,
what sweeter fall is there than into a heart
that feels like forever?

I wanted to speak to say I already know
But fear held tight and I couldn't let it show
Afraid to disappoint I stayed in the shade
While time slipped by and memories decayed.

The color in your eyes I try to recall
But even that now begins to fall
I whispered to silence, What made you stray?
Was it my fault you turned away?

I stood still hoping you'd turn around
Longing for footsteps yet hearing no sound
Waiting to be saved heart open wide
But you ran and I stayed left behind

Now I see clearly the truth in the change
You're not the same and I've grown estranged
I waited for you in dusk and in storm
But I’ve changed too I don’t wait anymore.

She’s a room of golden light,
but one drawer stays shut tight.

She laughs like wind through open doors,
yet guards a key beneath the floor.

I never ask, I never pry
some stars were made to burn and lie.

Still, I stay, though I can't see
the secret she keeps away from me.

For ages I’ve circled ‘round your sun,
A silent moon, outshone, undone.
You were the fire I couldn’t claim,
A distant star that burned my name.

I’ve grown, I’ve drifted, chased the skies,
But still I spin in your sunrise.
No tether holds, no words were said
Just gravity I can’t out shed.

Yes, I’ve grown feelings deep and true,
But I know they don’t live in you.
So I keep quiet, day by day
Not for fear, but in this way

Not silence born from lack of might,
But out of love, and what feels right.
I will not speak unless you ask,
To guard your peace that is my task.

I will not press, nor force, nor chase,
Nor let these words disturb your space.
If truth would make you slip away,
Then in my heart, those words will stay.

I love you more than just to claim,
I value you beyond a name.

I look, you pass
a breath, a spark.
Desire hides
where words go dark.

No touch, no claim,
just quiet ache
a dream I burn
but never wake.

I should be the echo beneath your skin
A quiet rhythm where love begins.
Wound me if you must, let the thunder stay
But don’t be the storm that runs away.

I’ll carry the flame of your whispered fire
The kiss that lit my soul’s desire.
And your eyes , twin stars that once found me
Now haunt the night where I used to be.

In order to love, you should know how first
Not just the sweet, but also the worst.
Not just the giving, but how to receive,
Not just to hold, but also to leave.

Know how to listen when silence is loud,
To stand with a heart that’s not always proud.
To weather the storms and still choose to stay,
To speak through the night and greet each new day.

You must know yourself your shadows, your light,
What makes you tremble, what gives you fight.
For love is no refuge from wounds you ignore,
It knocks, not to fix you, but open a door.

So learn how to carry the weight of your name,
Before asking someone to dance in your flame.
For love is not learned in the blink of an eye
It begins in the mirror, with the courage to try.

I've loved you quietly, ever since,
Before the world could make me flinch,
Before I knew that love could ache,
Or hearts could crack, or voices break.

I held you in each hidden prayer,
In stolen glances, silent stares,
You were the hope I didn’t name,
The constant in a world that changed.

But loving you, though pure and true,
Feels like a gift I can't give you.
Not whole, not right , not what you need,
Not what your heart deserves to keep.

So I will try to walk away,
Though part of me will always stay.
You need a love that has no doubt,
No fear, no shadows stretched throughout.

Mine never wavered, never strayed,
But pain still lived where love once laid.
And though it breaks me, still I’ll go
You deserve more than I can show.

Yet even from a world apart,
You’ll always live inside my heart.
And if you ask me why I do
It’s because I’ve always loved you.

I loved you like the morning star,
Before the skies knew who we are.
But now I wrap my heart in mist,
A flame I dare not let exist.

In fields where storms have yet to pass,
I hide my love in blades of grass.
Not out of fear, but to defend
A fragile bloom the winds might end.

Warm drops fall on the old café,
Where laughter lived that slipped away.
The summer rain, it hums our tune,
Soft echoes of a distant June.

Your shadow dances in the glass,
A fleeting glimpse of seasons past.
And though the world feels fresh and new,
The rain still brings me back to you.
