Time is flying
Yourshadow Mar 2
Why does time fly?  
Why can’t it stay?  
I wished it would hurry,  
Now I beg it to wait.  

I counted the days,  
I longed for this flight,  
But now that it’s here,  
Something’s not right.  

I walk like I’m certain,  
Like I know where to go,  
Yet deep in my chest,  
I still don’t quite know.  

Did you feel this too?  
Were you just as afraid?  
Did you stand at the edge,  
Wishing time could delay?  

I take one more breath,  
And let go of the past,  
Time won’t stop for me
But I can make this moment last.
I don’t want tomorrow to come

Love?
Yourshadow Feb 23
If religion is thought
and love is the law
Will you still love me
if I am seen as your flaw

Tragic love story
Yourshadow Feb 1
I loved you dearly
Yet I forced you away
It was for the best
Yet I wish you’d stay
Why couldn’t things work out between us

Existing
Yourshadow Dec 2024
I want to live,
Not just exist,
Is what most people say.

But I want to exist,
Not be alive,
I’m just surviving each day.

Last embrace
Yourshadow Dec 2024
You held me close, yet lied to me,
A traitor's mask I could not see.
The warmth I crave, your arms I seek,
But truth has made my heart grow weak.

I know your truth, but I can't say,
The cost is one I dare not pay.
My silence screams, my heart decays,
Bound by the game we’re forced to play.

Still, I’m trapped in your embrace,  
Hating the love I can’t erase.
This is based of something i wrote down today:

Imagine having to find comfort in the arms of the person that you love the most but betrayed you. And you can’t tell him you know because you are a hitman and he is an informant for the police

No more pain
Yourshadow Dec 2024
It has been a year,
A year since the blade kissed my skin,
Since I danced with the sharp edge of pain,
And mistook it for release.

I don’t even remember the last time
The moment I stopped
But I also don’t remember the first.
Was it worth it?

The scars tell a story I don’t want to read,
Yet I wonder,
Are they loud enough?
Do they shout my struggles to a world
That rarely listens?

I was struggling.
I was really, really struggling.

I hate my scars,
The way they carve a map of hurt
Across the canvas of my body.
But they’re also not enough,
Not enough to explain the ache
That made them bloom in the first place.

Still, here I stand
A year further,
A year beyond,
Wrestling with what was
And what remains.
1 year clean🥳
I started when i was 11/12 and I am now 17

Pretty crier
Yourshadow Dec 2024
When i saw you break down in front of me
Something inside of me broke as well
How could someone like you suffer like this
Why do you make yourself go trough hell

I wiped away your tears as mine started to fall
And hugged you tight to sooth your pain
Your fragile strength could still endure it all
Yet I longed to take your burdens and sustain
This is based of The Eclipse the series because i just saw an edit and it made me feel all those sad feelings again. They are such good actors

Love is Love
Yourshadow Dec 2024
So you can like girls, and that's just fine,  
But my love for boys must stay in line?

Is your heart so vast, so grand, so wide,  
That mine must shrink, must always hide?  

Is your love greater, more pure, more true,  
Than the love I carry and offer to you?

Love is love, it beats the same,
Yet you cage mine, and cast it in shame.

Meow
Yourshadow Dec 2024
Like a cat, I am unpredictable,
following you around wanting your touch.
And I act like I love and want you,
Only to retreat when it's all too much.

Goodbye
Yourshadow Dec 2024
The urge to run
The urge to hide

The urge to be
The friend that died

The urge to jump
And try to fly

I hope i cannot
And simply die

Forbidden love
Yourshadow Dec 2024
Stars don’t shine just to fade away,
And rivers don’t flow to lose their way.

If hands can hold but hearts must part,
What is the point of a beating heart?

If God denies the love we've got,
Then what is the point of having a God?
This is already the 3rd poem i wrote about them and the series won’t even air until 2026
Yourshadow Dec 2024
I hope one day these feelings will leave me like you left me

You left me

You left me touched, scared, broken

So many words unspoken

I hope that in your last moment i flash before your eyes

And you will feel my pain, my despise
Yourshadow Dec 2024
I love you
You love me
But we can’t ever
Let the world see

It is a sin
It is not right
But your love is worth
Not seeing the light
I wrote this with Ticket To Heaven on my mind.
I cannot wait for the series to be released.
It will absolutely break me.

My Soulmate
Yourshadow Dec 2024
“You’re weird,” you say with a grin so wide,  
“That’s what I like about you,” you say with pride.  

“I like that you’re weird,” you repeat,
Your laughter bubbling, soft and sweet.

"I’m normal, right?" you ask with a glance,  
I tilt my head, caught in a trance.  

"I like normal," I softly reply,
We both end up shocked, flustered and shy
This is based off [2 Kids Room] Ep.16
I love their conversations so much

Ticket To Heaven
Yourshadow Nov 2024
To hold your hand, to taste your skin
To love you, they claimed, was my first sin.

For you are my heaven, my breath, my song,
Yet to love you feels both right and wrong.

The weight of faith and fear collide,
In a heart that aches but cannot hide.

But my parents wait where the angels dwell,
And I fear this love will lead to hell.

But if I must lose you to see their face,
Would heaven not feel an empty place?

Silent Cry
Yourshadow Nov 2024
Long sighs echo in the stillness of the night,
Your heart's cry unheard, hidden from sight.

Behind closed doors, a space called 'you,'
A hidden cry only I can perceive and view.

Show your tears, the ones you've concealed,
To me, your confidant, your pain revealed.

Open your umbrella, let the tears flow,
For the silent cry, only I shall know.

When strength falters, and you can't hold on,
Lean on me, for you, I'll stand strong.

Together we'll weather the storms, your pain and mine,
For in shared vulnerability, our silent cries entwine.

— The End —
