She may be somber
She may be sad
She never had a mother
She never had a dad

The feelings crawl up on top of each other
Crushing each below
Crumbling down like a sinkhole
in her heart’s hollow

She may be somber
She may be sad
She may be mourning
a life that she has never had

It piles and piles
It heaps and heaps

Heavy is the hollow heart that crumbles
Heavy is the heart that weeps

There is a heart beneath the hearts,
Where no candle burns, no voice dares sing—
It keeps the ache of unsent letters,
And the weight of words we never bring.

It mourns in moments no clock remembers,
And bleeds in places no scar will show.
It stitches itself with threads of silence,
And smiles while no one cares to know.

Yet in its quiet, it holds the universe,
The prayers unspoken, the dreams turned grey.
A heart like this—unknown, unseen—
Is where the brightest stars are born each day.

If tears were red,
they'd have seen —
my white pillow stained by morning,
red marks blooming on the bedsheet,
on my face,
on my shirt.
My eyes, still puffy,
still red
from the bleeding of the night before —
not from wounds,
but from weeping.
Eyes not meant to bleed,
yet they did.

And still,
no one noticed
the colourless blood I’ve spilled.
i wish my eyes never bled.......

Wind wraps me in a hug

Clouds form a blanket around me

Sun warms like a cup of tea

I am shy and quiet
writing is my speaking voice
it gives me my say.
it has been days since I last talked to you
it's been very freeing
not having to worry about saying
the wrong thing
and being too much
or not enough
I could never be just right for you
there was always something wrong
with me or what I did or said
it's so freeing not talking to you
being ignored or forgotten
I am free now that I'm no
longer trapped in the shackles
disguised as love and kindness
that you gave me

It’s always better
to be completely alone
than to feel alone
in a group of people.

Sometimes it can take years,
decades, even a lifetime to realize
Not getting what you want
was a blessing in disguise.

Our highs have been so high
And our downs have been so down
Although this life was painful
I would still want to go around
The world again, with you
Because the happiness I felt
Though can't be reached again
Has still made me smile
And made me a better man
There are some ugly truths
That I don't want to admit
I hope it's not true
But I want to build a better world
And I don't know if you're part of it
But the things you've taught me
And the smiles you've brought me
They certainly will be..

A poem so long,
A poem so short.
A poem of love,
A poem of hate.

A poem above,
All that's fake.
A poem that debates
A poem with sake.

Why do humans complicate,
things that should not be?
Is it because we're humans?
Doing things that are wrong,
And still pretend to be superman.

Is it because we can't bare
Doing things that are right,
And still be treated unfair?
Humans, humans, humans, we're hilarious. Aren't we? (In a good, and bad way. Depends on you which one you chose.)
