Rue May 17
She came like a whisper, soft in the dark,
Painted in promises, leaving no mark.
But lies wear boots, and hers stomped loud—
Through my heart, my home, my every vow.

She didn’t just leave — she razed the place,
Took the laughter, left a hollow space.
Friends turned silent, backs like stone—
She rewrote the truth and called it her own.

My children’s eyes don’t look the same,
She poisoned the well, then blamed my name.
Told them stories soaked in spite,
Tucked them in with twisted lies at night.

She smiled while taking every thread—
Of the woman I was, now half-dead.
She left me with echoes, dust, and rage,
A ghost locked screaming in my cage.

I hate her voice, her scent, her face,
The way she danced through my disgrace.
She wore love like a wolf in skin,
And carved her initials deep within.

But hate’s a fire, and I won’t burn,
Not for her, not for what I yearn.
She took everything—but not this pen,
And with it, I will rise again.

God forbid a woman who feels too deep,
Who dreams in silence and cries in sleep.
I’ve let hands wander where hearts should stay,
Trading petals for passing praise.

More have touched my skin than brought me flowers,
I count the difference in quiet hours.
Each moment hoping love was there,
Now haunted by the vacant stare.

I gave too much, too soft, too soon,
Chasing suns that turned to moon.
Now I sit with echoes, lost in grace,
Regret like perfume I can’t erase.

But still I bloom, though bruised and torn,
A rose that learns to grow from scorn.
God forbid a woman in love, they say—
But love is mine, and I’ll love anyway.

My parents is the villain of my story
Misguided me into love that is not healthy
They say “we do this because we love you” then yet continue to ignore me.
Is this enough for me to call them the villain of my story?
Who is the villain of my story?

The people who betrayed me are the villain of my story.
Including my siblings who never reached out and played me *****.
Including the system who put me through constant fear to gain control over me.
Including all the people that manipulates me into thinking that hardwork is the key, not the mentality.
But is it enough tho to be called the villain of my story?

Who is the real villain of my story?

I am.. I am the villain of my story
I am who has the self doubt,
Ignores all the blessed glory.
I am who brought the disaster in my story
I am who blame the others for my worry
I am who has control over me and yet let other people walked all over me.
I am who didn’t stand up for myself because I fear everyone will left me.
I am,
It’s me.
It’s not them.
I let them.
I am the villain of my story.

How about less of “didn’t you see the red flags” and more of “ I see how hard you were tying to be loved”

I wish I knew.
That you’re leaving us
I didn’t even had a chance to say goodbye.

I wish I knew.
How hard this is for us
I’m not okay, every night I cry and cry.

I wish I knew.
My heart is in pain from the void you left
All I can do is lie.

I wish I knew.
I can feel it in my guts
You’re up there at the sky waving Hi,
wishing that I could see you smile.

I wish I knew.
The pain and sorrow that you supplied.
I don’t know what you’re trying to imply.

I wish I knew
The despair and grieving that I been through; and
The regret and guilt, hoping they’re an ally.

I wish I knew
The day when you die,
So then I can try, to properly say Goodbye.

People thinks she is mean,
Some say shes hard to get,
But they just don’t know what it means
To be treated bad, by the guy she trusted hard.

People say she has the heart of stone.
But they just don’t understand
She has to put her heart on guard because
He doesn’t use his heart but uses his Hand

She let go of her past and start something new
Became strong and fearless
But something blew
The fate been ruthless

The guy return to win her
But little did he know she is all brand New.
He buys her ring and
Introduce her to all his crew

But he still the same, full of promises less of action
Full of adjectives but less of verbs
He thinks he is some kind of Prince Charming in some kind of animation
That either make her day or leave her aching for days.

The queen is the new King
Let her reign her castle
And see how she nailed that thing
Without any hustle ;)

The so called “prince” left her
But she remain strong,
The manipulation does not affect her.
She took a hit through a ****
And realize where she truly Belongs

The girl that used to be beaten up by manipulations
Is now a woman with no Fears,
She asked for recognition for going through war with no gears.

She recognized herself, realized she doesn’t need validation…
So Slayyyy my Queeing
This poem is for this girl, who’ve been into a rough time with her past. Wishing that she can find someone that will love her more than anything, because she deserves it

You are so beauteous
your smile is enchanting
your eyes is so precious
you are very admirable and loving

you amuse me, delight me and laugh with me
i felt i dont deserve you,
or you dont deserve me
with you i felt free...

until...
we had a fight, the person i thought that will save me.
is the person that wrecked me.
i lost my self esteem, the light become darkness
happiness become sadness
love become madness.. to anger.. to hatred

you didnt hurt me physically,
but the selfless, narcissistic action of yours
****** me up emotionally
You gave me roses but handed me the thorn first.

i am love and i cant denied it,
Love made me barely eat,
Love message you even its late. that eventhough your taking so long to respond, its okay love will wait.

but you hurt me over and over again,
and im still here for you eventhough you are so vain.
because i have faith that you will change
cause i thought we are in the same ******* page...
We once used to be in the same page.

the wound you gave me did not appear in my body
but hurts more than anything that bleeds
I become blind, because of wanting for you to love me so badly
i cant even tell if this still what love means.

if the wounds on my heart and the bruises on my soul translated into my skin, you would probably recognize it.
