You know people say I'm wasting my time loving you.
I wasted all my love on you.
When you waste your time
you end up with nothing.
But the truth is I used my love as a lesson
to help you show me
how beautiful love was,
how beautiful I was
And how beautiful the world can be.
I used my love
to help you restore my faith and trust.
I saw that beauty existed
I used my love
to show you how beautiful you are in my eyes.
And this love made me feel like a **** queen
it revealed my kingdom I needed to build. 
And I won't regret a thing
Because nothing I felt was a waste of time.
It was a lesson learned.
And I'm glad I was privileged to learn it from you.

I am sorry.
I say it often,
But what does it accomplish?

It heals not the wounds of the past,
Nor does it prevent transgressions in the future.
It saves not the victim from the pain,
Nor does it save the transgressor the guilt.

So why do I say it?

Because I am scared to lose a person I care for.
Because I know I have done wrong by you.
Because I don’t know what else to say.

But what can I say?

I miss the way we held each other early that Friday morning.
It seems so long ago.
I miss the way we swayed in the dark in the kitchen,
Content to be together.
I miss the feeling of your lips on mine.

But what can I do?

I have tried, truly tried, to find some semblance of this again,
But it’s not the same as it was.
And I know you can see that, too.
Too often these trials only lead to more tribulations.

Why do you stay?
What for?

You hurt,
And I can’t help you.
You cry,
And I can’t comfort you.
You deserve the world,
And I can’t give it to you.

I am sorry.

I miss you a little bit every day.

You make me feel lovesick.


everything seems so cliché when you haven't felt it yet




i miss you
it ******* *****

but what hurts the most is knowing that you don't miss me anymore



calling would be pointless now




i'm never getting you back,
no matter how ******* much i want that.


it's not like these stupid poems are gonna help.





so here, because you still deserve it.

I'm sorry. I'm really sorry. For whatever I did to you.


i know it won't make things the way they used to be but i hope that it can at least be alright




i'm waiting for ya
A poem every day.

sadness took my hand
and refused to let go.
I couldn't stop shivering,
and she was the reason why.
I acknowledged her words
then told her, "it's not you, it's me,"
let go of her hand, and felt warm again.

Every molecule seen,
Felt and brushed,
Brown curly hair,
In its deep blackness,
Unkept.

Sometimes eyes in wetness,
Tears are a hearts bleed,
Well sometimes pain,
A few of its joy,
Smiles and frowns.

I've lost one,
And that's my all,
Now apart Am torn,
I miss her every atom.
To my darling Sonia, To All we've been, I loved, I had to say goodbye. One day you'll understand.

It's fine to ask for more
when you have nothing to lose.

everything i wanted - Billie Eilish

I had a dream
I got everything I wanted
Not what you'd think
And if I'm being honest
It might've been a nightmare
To anyone who might care
Thought I could fly (fly)
So I stepped off the golden, mm
Nobody cried (cried, cried, cried, cried)
Nobody even noticed
I saw them standing right there
Kinda thought they might care (might care, might care)
I had a dream
I got everything I wanted
But when I wake up, I see
You with me
And you say, "As long as I'm here
No one can hurt you
Don't wanna lie here
But you can learn to
If I could change
The way that you see yourself
You wouldn't wonder why you're here
They don't deserve you"
I tried to scream
But my head was underwater
They called me weak
Like I'm not just somebody's daughter
It could've been a nightmare
But it felt like they were right there
And it feels like yesterday was a year ago
But I don't wanna let anybody know
'Cause everybody wants something from me now
And I don't wanna let 'em down
I had a dream
I got everything I wanted
But when I wake up, I see
You with me
And you say, "As long as I'm here
No one can hurt you
Don't wanna lie here
But you can learn to
If I could change
The way that you see yourself
You wouldn't wonder why you're here
They don't deserve you"
If I knew it all then would I do it again?
Would I do it again?
If they knew what they said would go straight to my head
What would they say instead?
If I knew it all then would I do it again?
Would I do it again?
If they knew what they said would go straight to my head
What would they say instead?

You take everything good in me
Heart that I polish for you
Take step after step away from me
Towards a door
Hoping you won't go through

I know I may not ever get you back
Pain has gone and opened my eyes
I still look for you everywhere
Find nothing
To no surprise
