An eye awoke; the cosmos caught aflame,
Glowing stars gathered—each none quite the same.
Her eyes, like sparks, called him by tender names,
And in that gaze, the night shed all its claims.

The moon chased from every direction,
Lost in orbit of her sweet affection.
No silver light could dare compete,
With the fire that made his heart complete.

Two years ago, I went into debt to try to save you.
But you passed away anyway, it's sad and it's true.
I paid thirteen hundred dollars with my credit card.
When it came to facing your death, it sure was hard.
When it came to saving your life, I certainly tried.
But sadly, on the seventeenth of August, you died.
It doesn't bother me because I went into debt.
What does bother me is that I lost a great pet.
You were only six years old and you had no future ahead.
I said goodbye two years ago today when I found you dead.
DEDICATED TO PUPPY (2017 - 2023) WHO PASSED AWAY TWO YEARS AGO TODAY ON AUGUST 17, 2023
I need more.
I need to feel safe.

But I’m searching in you
for something
I must find in myself.
Nebylla 2d
The shackle removed from my wrist
Leaves it inornate;
Leaves me to wonder its fate
A bracelet or just a bigger brace.
After leaving a hotel and having my wristband cut off , I had a weird train-of-thoughts which inspired me to quickly write this
Honestly,
I don’t think you deserve
all these verses of mine.

I’m so tired
of myself.
Yes—
you have your issues.
You made mistakes.
And so did I.

I don’t want this
to be the speech
of an emotional dependent
who only blames herself
and forgets
that a relationship
is built by two people.

From now on,
every “i” will have its dot,
and every accent
will be marked—

as we write
our story
again.
