Share your darkness with me.
The way it creeps in and steals the light.
Paint me a vision
Of how it reaches out
To grasp you tight.

Open the door
Of the closet in your mind.
Show me the monsters
Who’ve never been kind.

Let me see the shadows
You’ve tucked behind smiles,
The grief in your silence,
The ache that beguiles.

Name what still lingers,
What groans, low and deep,
And I will hold it with you
Until it learns to sleep.
When you want to reach a loved one in their dark.
Some mornings still feel like you,
like warmth I didn’t deserve but couldn’t let go.
Memories somewhere behind the silence.
Like a thread I never untangled.

Some nights, I wake up
and it’s like you just left the room.
Like your laugh is still hanging in the air
and my chest forgets it’s empty.
I dream of rooms you still live in.
I don’t see your face
but I wake up full of you,
like love left its light on.

Some silences still hum with what we never said.
And sometimes I still feel the ghost of your hand in mine.

In some timeline,
I said what I meant before it was too late.
I showed up. I stayed.
I fought for you the way you deserved. And you never have to wonder if I still love you.

Some part of me still waits
not here, not now,
but somewhere
our love still lives.
If M theory is correct, there are worlds we are still us.

That twists and turns
Becomes one
With a river
Learns to pick up the pace
Yet carry the weight
Of rocks in its bed
While reaching for the horizon
The stream becomes
Indistinguishable
From the destination - the calm sea

She curled up her fingers
In mine
Read my mind
My heart screamed

Loving you gave me answers
To questions, I hadn't even begun asking
It is because I didn't understand the depths of me
And I didn't know pain could be so profound
That I had chalked out to electric impulses of the brain
Was actually love hidden in an unassuming moment
