Stardust

Beneath the tree’s cool, leafy shade,
The cold wind wraps me in her grace.
She soothes my grief, she makes me whole,
Mother Earth's love reaching deep to my soul.

"They’re from another country."
"But… they’re people too, aren’t they?"
"Yeah, but not our people."

Stardust

Static

I had good intentions when I first found you
You seemed like the missing piece to my unsolved puzzle.
But time blurred the lines - the world grew loud,
And I left you on a shelf to gather dust.

I was chasing a dream, but I couldn’t make it in time. Now, as days, months, and years pass, it feels distant; almost foreign. I don’t know, to be honest. I’m just trying to figure things out.

One more day

One more day

And maybe,just maybe
If I keep pretending
Long enough
Happiness might forget
It was never mine
And decide to stay.

And if it doesn't
Atleast the light I borrowed
Kept me warm
For one more day.

Where feeling once lived

Dency

Where feeling once lived

I wake up with weight
Bt not from pain
Just the heaviness
Of feeling nothing.

I search my chest
Like someone lost their keys
Bt there's no spark
No trace of warmth.

Just silence
Where love used to echo
Now even the ache
Has gone quiet.
