What hurt you
Can't heal you

I remember, all the beautiful moments of us together, l had them with my eyes closed

In your silence
I listen to your actions

Life is easier learning to unlove you
Than trying to love you
You never made loving you feel easy
From struggling to find ways to reply you the right way so we keep the conversation going
To wondering how to break your silence, just so l don't feel forgotten by you

I never wanted to learn without you
But your absence taught me regardless

If l could turn back the hands of time
I would go back to the time that
I once "held you close"
Where there was nothing but unspoken words between us

I just need a whisper
Tell me I'm not as unforgettable as your silence makes me feel

I write because how else would you read my mind

I remember the days we used to love in letters,
High school, love so surreal
Pure and free, it almost felt real
I wish l could continue the past
And write you a letter
I have a lot to say,
Lines to rhyme
I want to write you a letter
would appreciate the gesture?
But then l remember I'm in no position to write you a love letter

I missed too many dreams
On all the nights l allowed your memories to take my sleep
Cried too many too many tears
I almost feel empty

From learning hues that painted their joy to cradling their vulnerabilities, I hesitate to unfold my chapters to anyone new.
Nevermind knowing someone else, how do l open up to another person
To know me exactly how you did, without me sayin' a word
"Move on," they say, yet moving on means exposing the very part of me that being with you taught me l should shield from the rest of the world
So, where do I begin
I don't want another hi that will lead to a goodbye

So today someone made me smile, even laughed
Today l set for coffee, lunch and dinner
And never for a moment did l look for you in anyone
Today l did everything l wished to do with you, even more
And no thought of you crossed my mind
Today everything that once reminded me of you
Didn't bring any memory
Today for the first time in a long while l didn't look forward to your text
Today your absence felt normal
And it didn't make me cry
Today l don't miss you as much as l used to
So Today l realise maybe l am slowly forgetting you
It's what I wanted but why does it still make me sad

I don't know how to move on
Without loving you

I kept wondering what it would be like falling in love after a heartbreak
And **** why didnt l let go sooner

Only one thing is left
A story to tell

Always the person you look for or call at the end of the day
Am l safe haven
Or a last thought

Perhaps l misssed your desired words
But l caught the ones you stirred
Once they hurt, a little tears here and there
Today, l hope my interpretation misconstrued
My fault for starting this conversation anew

Once l loved you, you hurt me
Twice l forgave you and myself for expecting so much
Thrice l only asked for your presence, you gave me hope and crushed it

Until l learnt where l stand in your life
Your heart was with everything else except me

Today l saw everything that reminded me of you
I'm happy, the thought of not doing it with you didn't hurt
Because once upon a time l wished it were you

Once upon a time your words meant everything that held on to them,
Until l saw every promise pass by.
Now, l yearn to believe each word you speak.....
But it all sounds like a poem that caught the right muse.

I want to text you, and talk about nothing or little details of my day,
Maybe you can tell me what made you smile today
But l don't want to disturb you
So I'm writing this instead

When I'm tired
You are all the rest l need

Somewhere in between
"He is not my type" and,
"We are just friends",
She fell in love

I wrote my heart on a paper,
Words, light they seem,
Yet poetry can't erase this dream.
For still, I want you, it's clear and true,
In these lines, my love shines through.

Tears fall, here and there, a silent stream,
I forget, yet the pain remains, it seems.

Thoughts of you begin to fade, but still,
In missing you, my heart feels the chill.
Slowly, time will heal, and I'll find my way,
Learning to live without you, day by day.

If l could be anything
I would be everything you need

All I crave is the hush of the night.
To sit in stillness, no words to say,
And let the tranquil hours drift away.

Pain stings from those we hold so near,
From hearts we cherish, love so dear.
Separating love from hurt's cruel art,
Is the challenge of the tender heart.
A puzzle, in life, we'll still impart

Aware of life's beauty, I find my way,
Surrounded by wonders, I'm happy each day.
In nature's embrace and with each smile's glow,
Happiness blossoms, with every step I go.

In stillness, without thoughts, I find delight,
My heart soars free, in happiness' pure light.

In tales told near and far, I stand alone,
Always the villain in stories, widely known.
But deep within, a heart yearns to change,
To break free from this fate, rearrange.

l talk you just reply,I wait, it's true,
like a chase we play, me and you.
Hearts can only bear so much weight,
Someday, I'll tire of this endless wait.

I'm a poet at night
When the world is quiet
My thoughts make the loudest noise

If l do not " only share with"
I might never know what you ate or how your day went

It's either left on read or "..... replied to your story"
So lm constantly looking for content that triggers your reaction

For If there is no green circle on my name, screaming " not yet viewed" l may never be remembered

Gradually finding myself ensnared by your words
So much so that your silence becomes a vexing void

I didn't leave
You pushed me away

Somewhere in between he is not her type and they are just friends
She fell in love

Silence,
sooo loud its deafening
Fantasies,
Be my morning to midnight chat
Night and day,
Lets live stories and make memories
Together,
Can we explore what life has instore
Simplified,
Be my bestfriend

Would l be a poet, if you weren't the poem
There is always You behind every word

My thoughts and feelings are getting used to the idea of having you,
Stand before me dressed  in rhythm and sound

I am getting more used to poetry
than people

Letting go is an art

I mastered it

Roses are red..........not all roses are red
Violets are blue....violets are not blue
Blood is my lifeline...you staring at her
So are you...................l dont like you too
