I miss those days when we had those funny girl talks,
Gossip about everything and anything,
Laughed and judged every creature that came our way,
Talk about how rich we wanted to be,
Our goals and dreams,
And where we wanted to be.

Then life took a turn,
A sudden turn none of us expected,
You changed how my name was saved in your phone ,
From girlfriend with heart emoji to my bare surname,
When I saw that my heart broke into pieces,
It's funny how you act as if everything is okay.

You smile at me, walk with me, laugh with me,
Pretend as if everything is OK,
But you clearly knew something is not right,
Or should I let bygones be bygones?

The memories we made are like precious gems,
Glistening in the sunlight of our minds,
Reminding me of all the joy we shared,
And all the love that we left behind.

So here's to those days and all the ones to come,
May we always find our way back to each other,
And keep the magic of our friendship alive forever.
I wrote this poem two years ago.
My friend at the time was distanced
We do talk but not like before
It's safe to say it was a one way friendship
I loved her but she loved what I offered instead of me.
It took months for me  to see that
I look at us,
this broken mess we've become,
and all I feel is anger—
anger that we were supposed to be a unit,
a team,
a family—
but we are nothing but pieces of something that doesn't exist anymore.
You failed me.
Each one of you.
I'm lost in the rubble of what we were,
in the emptiness you left behind
when you choose your own needs
over what we were supposed to share.
I try to remember the good days,
but I can't.
Every happy memory feels like a lie now,
a story I told myself to keep the pain at bay.
I envy the people who have real families,
who don't know the taste of hollow promises,
who never feel the ache of knowing
that the ones who are supposed to love you
are the ones who destroy you the most.
And you—
you with your empty words and broken actions—
you don't even see it,
do you?
How much you hurt me
by pretending that everything was okay
when it wasn't.
You still don't get it.
You still don't care.
And the anger builds up,
like fire in my chest,
raging against the truth I've had to swallow:
We will never be whole again.
You broke us.
And I hate you for it.

I came with a heart too heavy to hold,
Words trembling, half-formed, quiet and bold.
All I asked was, stay with me here,
Not to fix, not to judge—just be near.

I didn’t need answers wrapped up in bows,
Just silence, warmth, the kind that knows
How to hold pain without turning away,
To let the storm speak, not chase it away.

But you turned from the weight in my voice,
Raised walls where I asked for a choice—
To open, or not, on my fragile time,
To bleed in peace, not forced to rhyme.

Now we’re both tangled in words that cut,
Doors slammed by the ache of a heart left shut.
But I never meant for a war to start…
I just needed someone to see my heart.

dilapidated,
your smile hangs crookedly
like a broken arm
no matter how shattered some things become, they are still persistent in existence.
I told my soul to rest to let your absence be
But why this constant falling make this soul's insanity
Each glimpse, a bitter nectar a joy that cuts like pain
How do I unweave this feeling?

This feeling of consuming chain
I've waited through the silence
Where dreams have turned to gray
Now I'm steeped in blue, where longing holds its sway.
I want to burry this kind of feeling and just move on. But how? how can I unloved someone I have loved for so long?

A Silent Broken Promise.

I promise you a better life,
One better then mine,
I promise you will have no strife,
To have room to shine.

I promise you a tomorrow,
Without sadness and sorrow,
I promise you my trust,
And I promise i've got no disgust.

I promise you a love,
Even if I should of,
I promise to protect you,
And through bad times to hold you.
*
But most of all,
I promise I wont let you fall,
I promise I will always be there,
And that I promise and i swear.

As broken clocks show the right time
Only twice a day
So does my heart
Beats twice a year

This hollow *****
Fathoms the grip of love
To capture its seldom
It hides in a cove

What have I become
To run
From the music of the sun
And the joy from the drum

Why do I cower
Try to find cover
Hide with great measure
From something that is not unnatural to me

A few beats left
Only a few beats left
Will it stop
Maybe I won't love again

Perhaps I shouldn't love again
It's beautiful yes
But the higher you go
The harder you fall

I may have fallen at my hardest
I know not how to stand
I know not how to weep
I know now how to move
I'm not really sure how this one goes, I wrote it when I had a heartache

on  display in a glass box my heart beats
showing nothing but pure intentions.
a person approaches looking at my heart
admiring, watching, waiting.
studying, listening, stalking.
what makes it race?
what makes it calm?
you leave.
return
come back please
i see you again this time with a bag
my heart races just seeing you
what could be in the bag?
roses, candy, wine?
perfume, stuffed animal, a ring?
as you unzip the bag the glass box starts sinking into the floor.
my whole heart out in the open for you
beating loudly to show you how much i love you
the box stops.
the heart keeps racing but this time in fear.
hammer and nails.
the box tries to cover the heart as fast as it can
but remember... its made of glass
smash! smash! smash!
my box my wall destroyed
my heart next
thump one nail thump two nails thump thump thump
my heart shattered
barley beating
content with the work
you leave
I'm left alone
iron walls come up
thread trying to put my heart back together
faint but there my heart beats
a person approaches
her Mar 24
A whispered goodbye, a fleeting embrace,
A silent tear traced on a pale, soft face.
He left her with echoes, a hollow, cold sound,
A bleeding heart, where love once was crowned.

The world grew dim, a canvas of gray,
Her laughter silenced, gone astray.
His absence a chasm, a void so profound,
Tears welled up, a torrent unbound.

Each whispered memory, a painful refrain,
Of stolen moments, now lost in the rain.
His touch, a phantom, a ghost in the night,
Leaving her broken, with all her heart's light.

The fragile petals, once vibrant and bright,
Now drooped and withered, consumed by the fight
Against the cruel truth, the bitter despair,
A love lost forever, beyond compare.

He left her alone, with a heart torn apart,
With tears in her eyes, and a broken heart.
A silent surrender, a whispered adieu,
Leaving her wounded, forever anew.

Shriveled-up gum,
Stretched rubber,
Strains of love...

A plucked thread at one end,
I'm the only one weaving our way.
But it keeps knotting up.
Yet despite the torn apart bond,
I'll be the one dragging it out.
Feeling of the inability to let go a relation even though the other side of that connection has already been left.
