Every time l try to forget,
I remember everything could be better with you

It's 2am, staring at the stars,
Spread so bright
A reminder that in the beautiful night l am not alone
Thoughts scattered in my head
Emotions too confused to fit in one poem
I am tired but what exhaust me still keeps me awake

What l thought Was my comfort zone
Turned out to be my worst nightmare
It killed all the  potential l had

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

they set the limits
I break them

l don't break the rules
I just make new ones

"Will love you until the end of forever"
Those were his words

Now I'm running to reach forever
Maybe he will be there
Just hoping the forever will be long enough to let me enjoy all his promises

it was pouring,
you couldn't differentiate my tears from rain
and only focused on the dance

Love doesnt hurt
Hurt are those who have
Never taken the risk to love

its the poetry in me  that still loves you
my heart already let go

there could never be space or time or another you



embrace your flaws and find beauty in peoples differences

they say love is pain
but the tears are so sweet
love is blind...……..
but would rather stay in the dark as long as you remain there with me

If silence could speak
The world wouldn't be such a lonely place

I fell so hard , so hard
That my heart broke
The feeling faded
The pain ended

Stone hearts love the hardest
And may never break

I don't know how l found darkness in what they all saw as light

roses have thorns,
even  beautiful things can still hurt you

I have fallen a thousand times
And it was hard enough
To dig a foundation
Now I'm stronger than ever

I write because how else would you read my mind

if l ever cried for someone then it was love

time heals no wounds
it just gets you used to the pain
such that the pain doesn't hurt anymore

I was born different
To make a difference

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

We all thought it was passion,
Because in his presence l could feel his devotion.
It's like when l was with him l lost concentration,
And l became so sure that he was mine.
Little did l realise that it was just an infatuation.

I thought he was my prince charming
Yet he left me hanging
I didn't realise when l drowned in his love the same way l didn't notice his feelings were drastically fading.
He left me crying as he continued running.

When l was with him l was truly living life
But now I'm just surviving.
I miss his singing as well as his drawing .
At times l feel like his around me yet l'll be just hallucinating.
Still l don't picture myself healing.

Through his love l lost my reputation.
I thought l could see his love through his expression
Since his actions were full of connotations.
And his love came with destruction
Yet this happened without realisation
Now my life is full of humiliation
Since what I'm left with now is lamentation.

Love ain't blind
Blind are those who
have never loved

how will l heal when my wounds  bleed every time l see you
whenever you hurt l find myself in pain
if only tears could dry

Why is  death
such a jealous man

How can you let go
When the person was never yours
But still lives in you

Dear hope please stop making people believe in impossibilities

Yours truly reality

even poetry failed to keep the wounds from bleeding
not everything that bleeds eventually heal

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

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

forever is promised i won't break it
i'll make a wish for every twinkle in your eye
even if we lock eyes, your smile shall set me free
fireworks you create
is Shalom
leaving vast particles as sweetened pieces of art in wildfires
the nostalgia became a beautiful memory
amnesia is lost in every scent that displayed petals
within flowers i found thorns, in foresight a Lily like you was found

Sometimes excess love becomes toxic

I never want to go home
But l guess
The art of being a good guest
Is to know when to live
Be it so humble
There is no place like
