The time I saw you first,
I thought I’d found my world —
as if the universe itself had paused
to place a star within my reach.

Our eyes still meet each day — but not us.
You are the moon behind clouds —
always there, but never mine to touch.
I had no courage to speak —
and when I did, you had already become a memory.

We both are like the sun and the moon —
sharing the same sky, but never the same moment.
Two hearts circling, forever apart.

You laugh, you live, unaware of me,
While I drown in silent oceans of ‘what if.’
You were never mine — not even close,
But you became the song my heart repeats.

In every prayer, I ask for you,
But I think something is missing in that prayer —
like a candle trying to light the sun.

What did my heart see in you so true,
That it chose pain like a poet chooses ink —
writing love with wounds that never heal?

I only imagine how happy life would be
if fate had drawn our stars side by side.
But dreams are just glass —
and I keep bleeding from the pieces.

Still, I wait —
like a wilted flower waits for spring that never comes.
Till the day I take my last breath,
loving you quietly, like a shadow follows light.

Whenever we meet again —
in this world or another —
I will want to be yours.
Forever.

And I hope… when I close my eyes forever,
your face is the last sunset I see.

why did you have to make it so hard
why did you you grasp onto me
like sticky rice on a fork
i hate that i had to tap the side of the bowl
instead of pour you out
i didn't get to do it slowly
it made a noise
and now you have to live
with ringing in your ears
it may have been loud
but at least it was fast
either way
you had to let me go
sorry :(
"My God, I think, how are you healing me with only a smile?"
My heart breaks in the most beautiful way because you speak a thousand kind words, with only your smile....

This piece is more free verse, reflecting on how the kindness of others can be incredibly healing. Kindness has the power to heal years of wounds without the need for a single word.

No where to run now
What has my heart walked into
How long until I break
Haiku!!

You may have been unexpected but you healed me properly.
I want to do that too.
I want to fix something in you that I didn't break.
I want to help you find a way.
I'm staying for you, I hope baby that you do the same.
This is what I feel towards someone. The feeling of wanting to help someone with everything, is quite rare in my opinion. Well, I feel like that towards someone. Hopefully I help them with everything.
Come, sit by my side,
tell me of the dreams this world has yet to break.
Honestly, tell me your fears,
and I will try to offer you my hope.

I laugh—
Every time I’m on the edge of breaking.
When tears slip down,
Uninvited,
From eyes that were never meant to spill them.

I laugh with all I’ve got,
As if the sound can drown the ache—
As if pretending
Can make the pain behave.

I wear a smile like armor,
A mask of joy the world applauds.
But beneath it all—
Is a soul quietly screaming,
Begging to be held,
To be heard.

To be told:
It’s okay to cry.
It’s not weakness to feel.
It’s not a sin to break

The sun is out.
The children scream and shout
All about.

There is no more school.
Everyone in the pool!
No more looking like a fool.

They run outside,
Find places to hide
And bikes to ride.

Everyone is having fun
No rush, no places to run.
Relax and play with anyone.

No one is stressed,
No more weight on their chests.
This is why summer is the best
freedom of finally being out of school and being able to do anything. Going out whenever, not having to wake up early, hanging out with friends. These are all things I think of when summer comes to mind.

You had a throne, queen's seat, and you burned it down,
Traded gold for garbage, now you wear the crown.
Spoiled by your girls with that fake-*** cheer,
“*** you're so pretty” , they just feed your fear.

Your love’s a joke, a discount price,
All dressed up, but you ain't worth twice.
You switched up fast, like your pick-me fits,
Hiding ************

You fed off lies, off stories you made,
Built a house of betrayal where loyalty decayed.
Kept R on the side like I’d never know,
But snakes slither back when the gardens grow.

Now your “new bloom” bio? Girl, please,
That’s just a mask for your inner disease.
You nuked what we had, no turning back,
Now I’m on a path you’ll never track.

You’ll see me with her , the one that’s true,
And deep down, you’ll choke, 'cause that could’ve been you.
Don’t cry when we shine, don’t even dare,
You chose your path, now stay over there.

You’ll scroll through reels and see my name,
With a woman so fine, it’ll put you to shame.
She calls me honey, she means it too,
Not like you , fake smiles, dead through and through.

So when you see us happy, don't come close,
Don’t text, don’t think, don’t post your ghost.
You let a masterpiece rot for a piece of trash,
Now cry in silence as your memories crash.

No redo, no fix, no “what if” call,
I’m done with your poison  , I’ve risen from the fall.
Don’t regret it now, don’t fake that pain,
You had your shot. You lost your lane.

So if your heart breaks, let it bleed and burn,
That's karma’s kiss , now it’s your turn.
And if you ever wonder if I still care:
*******. I don’t. Not here, not anywhere.

i met you almost
two years ago
i hurt you
while scrambling
through my own pain
trying to find my way
through a dark maze
with a haze of ache

you got caught
in my rage of
a crossfire
i realized
i actually liked someone
trusted them so easily

i was angry
someone actually
made me laugh
made me smile

the hurricane
was a category five
you took shelter
far away from me
my tears dripping
from the sky

two years after
the hurricane
we are just recovering
there is life again
there is growth
there is laughter
there is happiness
there is light


there is a second chance
