LL 3d
if only you were
gentler I wouldn't be scared
to get it wrong — try
2025/131
I may forgive, but scars remain unseen. A truth betrayed, a hollow carved deep. What you shattered, I nurtured unseen. Roots of self, no longer yours to reap.  

I will not return to those chained days.  
The entity within demands its due.  
Respect was owed, but you turned away. Now the past dissolves, embracing the new.
Ric 3d
I didn’t want it to end
I panicked, and I broke the best thing I had.
You didn’t drag me down , I did.
If I’d known I’d get worse,
I’d have never let you that close.

I’m sorry I made you feel unwanted
when you were all I wanted.
I loved you , but my mind stayed sick,
my fear louder than your arms.

You trusted pinky promises
I never should’ve made.
If you ever wonder
I did love you.
And I hate that I proved I could break you.
As I lay there with my head in her lap, I imagine these are the thoughts she had. I laid there believing I found my forever. She sat there believing this was a calamity. She did the only thing she knew how to do. Self-sabotage and run away..
Alba di Lunedì

Il mattino apre le finestre
e l’aria nuova entra in casa.
I pensieri, come fogli leggeri,
tornano a credere nella luce.

Non c’è fretta nel cielo,
solo un invito a ricominciare.
Ogni passo è un sì sommesso,
ogni respiro una promessa.

Se ascolti bene, il giorno ti chiama:
non per correre, ma per fiorire.
Lunedì è un seme nella mano—
scegli la terra, e lascialo vivere.

Monday Dawn

Morning opens all the windows
and new air enters the house.
Thoughts, like weightless pages,
learn to trust the light again.

There’s no hurry in the sky,
only an urge to start anew.
Every step is a quiet yes,
every breath, a promise.

Listen—day calls your name:
not to run, but to bloom.
Monday is a seed in your palm—
choose the soil, and let it live.

🇮🇹 Ogni nuovo giorno porta con sé un valore: la possibilità di ricominciare. Anche il lunedì, spesso temuto, è un seme che attende di fiorire.
🇬🇧 Every new day carries a value: the chance to begin again. Even Monday, often feared, is a seed waiting to bloom.
You tell me that I still have time
I can sleep in for a while
Because it is Sunday
Don't worry I will wake up at noon
Slowly
I am telling you the truth
Yes today
I will spend my time
At High Park
I just love nature
It is wonderful that we have
Nature inside the city
And we don't need to go
To the country
You say that I am
The most honest person
You had ever known
I appreciate hearing that
You tell me that I still have time
I can sleep in for a while
Because it is Sunday
Don't worry I will wake up at noon
Slowly
I am telling you the truth
Yes today
I will spend my time
At High Park
I just love nature
It is wonderful that we have
Nature inside the city
And we don't need to go
To the country
You say that I am
The most honest person
You had ever known
I appreciate hearing that
In my garden where
The flowers are so blue and
With petals that shimmer and glow
The bees dance with glee
As sweet as can be and
The little blue flowers are
In a world painted soft by their show.
