Strange, isn't it?

The way we mourn those
Still living...
I miss you.
She soothed souls, brought calm and peace,
Yet within herself, turmoil doesn't cease
So amidst the chaos, she seeks reprieve,
But her own solace, she can't perceive
With tears and doubts, she fights the tide,
Hoping her peace won't be denied.
when love erupts and ends abrupt
countless thoughts mess the mind up

while in a place with no light
it's bound to be a sleepless night
Fading flames, cooling fire's touch,
Leaves drifting, autumn's hush.
Unseen currents, separate ways,
No pronouns echo, love's farewell stays.

Memories linger, threads of the past,
Untangling love, wounds recast.
No pronouns spoken, paths unfold,
Altering wounds, onward they hold.
  Jun 2023 solace and sorrow

The poet lives two lives.
One on the outside,
And one in their mind.

When you look in their eyes
You could see an abyss.

If you looked long enough
You could sink into it.

But most people don’t see it.

Take the time to read the words, though,
And you would know for sure.

The poet lives in two different worlds.
A little escape from the madness.
Or maybe, into.
In the shadows, the soul waits,
Heartache echoing its core,
Yearning for shared time.
Days pass, heavy burdens weigh,
Minutes fade, connection wanes.

Fleeting, distant thoughts,
Bond stretched thin, fragile tendrils,
Yearning for deep ties.
In the shadows, longing stirs,
Craving moments of solace.
I was enthralled by the dazzling sight
His vibrant hues basking on an ethereal light
He is a blooming sunflower, so bold and bright,
A presence that fills my world with delight.

But as days pass by, admiration turns to despair
I am always there but he doesn't seem to care
To me, he has no glance to spare
As if my existence is just like that of air.

Indeed a sunflower, steadfast and true,
A devoted seeker of the sun's warm hue
From dawn's first light, 'til twilight's farewell,
He ceaselessly chases the sun's radiant trail.

Tried to capture his gaze with graceful flight
With wings adorned in colors, so vivid and bright
But his gaze never wavered from the sun's allure
Leaving my little heart with so much pain to endure.

So I continue to flutter in life's fleeting dance,
Relentlessly seeking love's sweet romance
For one day, destiny's garden may bestow,
A sunflower's love where our hearts will glow.
This has been living in my notes for 2 years already and now I finally had the perfect words to finish it ><
