They cheered my rise,
they watched me burn,
Then found another,
Took their turn.

For Now, Goodbye. ❤
Xio Apr 2
My heart was heavy, so I wrote, turned ghosts to words, let poems float. You read, you stayed, you understood—and that alone made bad days good.

So here’s my thanks, a whispered sigh—
I’ll step away, but not goodbye.

Resilient
Xio Feb 2
Your skin is not paper so don't cut it, your neck is not a coat so don't hang it, your body is not a book so don't judge it, your heart is not a door so don't lock it, your life is not a movie, so don't end it.

The Cost of Courage

Drugs

"Don't let people treat you like a cigarette, they only use you when they're bored and step on you when they're done, be like drugs, let them die for you."

Sunset

My Last Momment
Xio Nov 2024
As I lie there, I felt my thoughts going blank, the pain was excruciating, the air was freezing, I couldn’t move, I couldn’t feel my arms, legs, hands, and fingers. my eyes were closed, yet I see a flash of light, and memories after memories just flash before my eyes. Every smile, every cry, my greatest achievements, my darkest moments...

I lay there feeling the presents of many people trying to help me, but nothing was going to work, death has reached me, and that's one thing you can’t stop from happening... I felt the blood run down my face as I breathed my last breath...

The memories stopped flashing, my heart stopped racing, the light that once was shining bright darkened as it turned black... I finally closed my eyes for the last time ever, as I heard the chilling words...

“Shes gone...”

Villain
Xio Jan 11
A villain is just a broken hero, whose story has never been heard,
A shadow cast by silence, lost in an unspoken word.
Their scars tell tales of battles, of love that slipped away,
Of dreams turned into ashes, and nights that stole the day.

In their eyes, a flicker lingers, of the light they used to know,
A hero wrapped in darkness, where pain and anger grow.
For even in their darkness, a longing heart remains,
A villain is just a hero, bound by unseen chains.

Destiny
Xio Jan 7
There is a seat waiting for you at tables you haven't even seen, doors are opening for you that you didn't even knock on.

You belong in rooms you haven't even dreamed of yet, the universe is already aligning for your arrival, just trust the journey.

The Funeral Was Full

They swore they’d care, they swore they’d stay, then loved me most, once I decayed.

Broken
Xio Jan 24
The worst part of betrayal is that it never comes from your enemies—it comes from the ones you trusted most, turning love into pain and loyalty into loss.

Built me up, then watched me fall,
Laughed the loudest through it all.

Ever since you've gone, I've felt a peace of me missing, we've never been more than friends, but then why is it so difficult to let you go?

They love you when you give,
Ignore you when you need,
A lesson learned to late-
Kindness makes you bleed.

Nature Whispers
Xio Feb 10
The wind hums low through ancient trees,
The river carves with patient ease.

The sun spills light on hills so high,
As clouds drift soft across the sky.

In hush where wild things freely grow,
The earth still speaks—soft, sweet, and slow.

It's the Person
Xio Jan 13
It's not the word that hurts, it's the person who said it.
It's not the knife that hurts, it's the person who did it.
It's not the broken promise that hurts, it's the person who broke it.
It's not the lie that hurts, it's the person who told it.
It's not the scar that hurts, it's the story behind it."

Let You Go
Xio Feb 12
I'll never forget you,
You'll always be at the back of my mind,
But as the days go by,
I can't help but think it's time,
You'll always be the first,
Even if your far gone from here,
Now finally I'll close my eyes,
And let go for the first time in years.

Drowning in silence
Xio Mar 5
Crying silently all the time, if someone's to ask I'll say I'm fine, another day another lie, as I keep rethinking our last ever goodbye.

The Dark Plague
Xio Jan 19
A shadow spread, so cold, so still,
It touched the weak, it broke the will.
Through empty streets, it crept, it stayed,
And life it stole where children played.

The nights were long, the world in fear,
But hope stayed close, its light so near.
For even storms must pass away,
And dark gives to brighter days.

Torn

A part of me wants an answer, but a part of me doesn't want to know,

Empowerment
Xio Jan 7
I will not rescue you,
for you are not powerless.
I will not fix you,
for you are not broken.
I will not heal you,
for you are not sick.
I will walk with you through the darkness,
as you remember your light.
Xio Mar 11
I feel like I'm waiting for something that isn't going to happen.

A Perfect Night
Xio Nov 2024
The rain hits the pavement over and over again, drops fall on my window and stream down, casting a breath-taking shadow on the floor.

The stars dance in the night sky, wolves howl at the sight of a full moon, the wind whistles through the empty streets, street lights flicker, one by one turning off.

Perfect, isn’t it?

I gaze at the stars, lying back on the grass, it's almost midnight, yet I don’t feel the need to sleep, how could I? This night feels like a dream.. So peaceful, so perfect...

I take a deep breath of the fresh air, it smells like the ocean a place I loved, but now comes in 2nd as nothing can compare to this night, a night that I have only dreamed of, and now experiencing...

I slowly close my eyes, and take a deep sigh, the cold air feels so calming, the silence is so loud, the moon reflects a glowing light, it seems I have found... A Perfect Night.



As everybody sleeps recharging for day, I lie here, wide awake, how can I sleep when I see such a sight, of wolves, owls, and a perfect night?



As the morning sun starts to rise, wolves disappear back into the night, owls sleep waiting for the moon, hoping it’ll rise very soon. I look behind me to see the moon, slowly disappearing into the horizon, the night has come to an end, the peace, the silence, no longer there, as I get up to go inside, I gaze once more at the grass I had once lie, a faint smile came onto my face, as I turned back and walked away.




Good morning, have a wonderful day..

Authenticity
Xio Jan 7
It's always easier to lie when the truth hurts, but maybe the brutal truth is better than an easy lie. A flower can't grow without rain and sun.

What if?
Xio Dec 2024
What if the sky was never blue?
What if phones never existed?
What if what we wished for came true?
What if the world was never so twisted?

What if we still lived in old ages?
Just fighting to survive?
What if we always told the truth?
And never told believable lies?

What is cigarettes were never made?
What if cancer never started?
What if animals were never caged?
What if assassins never plotted?

Smoking...
Xio Jan 26
Started with one every month,
Now, I've lost track of how many I've done,
A pleasure that comes with insufferable pain,
Told myself "Tomorrow" but it's always the same,

I've lost a war that I've been trying to win,
I feel trapped in a cycle I got myself stuck in,
A shadow that haunts me and doesn't even try to hide the lie,
It started with one pack, and now my lungs are starting to die...
