The path unfollowed follows my mind,
The path unfollowed mocks me blind,
And entrenches deeply in my wound,
Now in the path of the wild I must swoon,
To reclaim my sight.

You're the sun I miss every night
Fellow poets,Are four months enough to get truly attached to someone?

Perhaps we weren't
Fated to much more
Than disaster
Anyway
Such a lovely trainwreck...

Bipolar, they called it,
the tide within me,
Rising, falling,
a moonlit frenzy.
You, with your papers and promises made,
Couldn’t meet the storm;
your respect decayed,
And I, adrift,
watched the world betray me.

And of all the sins I've done
You're my favourite one
And of all mistakes i've made
You , I won't regret
And of nights I spent awake
For you i can admit
I don't regret a moment
But at last , I also slept
for days spent in my mind
Thinking about the one you'll find
I confess I was scared
To forget the nights we shared
So as you walk to go
Can't you hear me screaming "no!"?
And as you carry stuff
I once touched them with love
Won't you miss me , darling , still?
With your heart , all made of steel
Won't you call me , after all?
Won't you hesitate in the hall?
Won't you turn to see my tears
All omitted with a fear
You have always seen in my eyes
The fear of losing you , I disguise
To be okay , you better know
That if you leave me all alone
And if you go to break my heart
You have finely done your part
And darling , go ! I won't insist
I'm okay with my heart broken in your feast
So baby , leave and don't look back
Go and leave me in the black

Time eats its decay,
Bouquet of flowers wilts slow,
Welcome fades away.

He treats me frugally,
Stones weigh heavy in my dress—
Silent pockets sigh.

#2
Weight of pebbles rests,
Tongue holds silence, heavy truth,
View blooms slow but sure.

#3
Earth’s weight embraces,
Final breath yields to stillness,
Roots weave my return.
Studying the concept of weight in a relationship.
