I regretted what I did, The silence where words should have been. I grieved for all I used to hold- The laughter, talks, the softer days. I mourned not just the loss itself, But who I was back then. A chapter closed in quiet pain, Afraid, not ready to forget. And still I step- I stumble on, Not to erase what came before, But to learn to walk beside the past. I breathe. I let the stillness come. I do not chase the light— but I do not close the door to it either. I live, not because I must, but because something in me still wants to.

I must walk on
I regretted what I did, The silence where words should have been. I grieved for all I used to hold- The laughter, talks, the softer days. I mourned not just the loss itself, But who I was back then. A chapter closed in quiet pain, Afraid, not ready to forget. And still I step- I stumble on, Not to erase what came before, But to learn to walk beside the past. I breathe. I let the stillness come. I do not chase the light— but I do not close the door to it either. I live, not because I must, but because something in me still wants to.
