am i only meant to be beautiful
did i fracture the illusion by trying
sometimes i feel it, most times i don't
waiting for your judgement feels just like dying

i love you like the sun loves the moon—
too far apart
to share the same sky.

you wanted stillness,
a life with roots.
i wanted movement,
a life with wings.

we tried to meet
in the middle,
but love
couldn’t bridge
the distance.

so i let you go,
not because i stopped loving you,
but because staying
meant losing
ourselves.

some love shines forever,
but ours was the kind
that had to end
to set us free.

the poetry is simple
just the little way
memory, place
gracias xie xie

one for my family
one I cannot say
one for desperate hope
Silent is the Way

Numbing my brain to survive.
to not think at all -
what a stupid way of trying to
to stop it all
