Floating upon the surface
Vee Sep 2020
Why do you
always
let me hear
your melody
If you never
let me read
the lyrics?
Why do you
always
come to me
If you never
stay?
I want to dive
but you keep me
floating
upon the surface.

Echoes of Self-Doubt
Vee Sep 2023
In the dim of doubt, she seeks her place,
Lost amidst a world's relentless pace.
Unseen tears in the night, silently cascade,
As self-worth fades, in shadows, she's swayed.

She strives with hope, but the mirror reflects,
Invisible flaws, every perceived defect.
Invisible chains, her heart's heavy weight,
In this desolate struggle, she contemplates her fate.

Whispers of inadequacy, a cruel, unending rhyme,
In a world of dreams, she's left outside, out of time.
With a fragile heart, she's haunted, so it seems,
Lost in a melancholy world of shattered dreams.

Slowly but surely
Vee Sep 2020
You're standing there
With a cigarette in your hand
My heart burns in sync with it
Soon I'll become
Just a pile of ash on the sand
And I can't help it
You destroy me just as the cigarette
Destroys your lungs
Slowly but surely
Our ending comes

Tangled Heartstrings
Vee Sep 2023
In a city where dreams bloom wide,
My heart so open, my spirit's guide,
Met a boy, his eyes a midnight fire,
Our story started, filled with desire.

Charming and playful, he drew me near,
In shadows, we whispered, free from fear,
He had someone else, but I couldn't deny,
We played a game, under moonlight sky.

Oh, I believed in love's sweet refrain,
With this boy, sparks flew, no room for pain,
Hoping he'd break free, our love to sustain,
But it was just a story, concealing the chain.

Stolen moments, secrets we'd share,
Whispers of love hung in the air,
Invitations to places, where hearts unite,
But his heart was torn, in the cover of night.

Slowly my heart ached, hope slipping away,
Deception in words, in the light of day,
I thought he'd choose love, leave her behind,
But he had his plan, and it wasn't mine.

On a rooftop we stood, truth in my plea,
"Will you choose me, and set your heart free?"
He hesitated, his eyes filled with doubt,
Our love, a secret, tangled and devout.

With tears in my eyes, I had to let go,
From a love that had led to depths unknown,
A lesson learned, in love's complex dance,
Sometimes the heart's path leads to circumstance.

Stronger and wiser, I'll find my way,
A love that's genuine, no more games to play,
With a guarded heart, and wisdom I've earned,
I'll find love's truth, where it's truly returned.

— The End —
