I grip the stained pen....
trying to stay in between the lines.
my hands are shaking, palms sweaty.
pressing the metal ball down towards the crumpled paper, pressing and pressing but nothing comes out....
a tear falls from my cheek as the dry cartridge remind me of you.
stall notebooks lining my book shelf.
I need the ink to bleed from me as you did
but the words are gone since you left.
you were my muse....

"I hate that they were right

you were too good to be true

because you were
a fairy tale

my subconscious

A projection
of what I wanted

my cravings

all which

would never amount
to anything but that".

Love,romance

The commonest emotion

I've seen ,heard and felt

Pitiful if you ask me

It's beginning blinds us so

That the middle and end is a blur

Just another page we've torn of our lives

The greatest of them fall

So why bother then

It's simple

It's hope when there's non

Even the most eloquent or the majority

Do promises such pleasure

But I haven't seen one
That met such expectations

Just like our fingers

We can't be loved the same

One could be broken person

who is promised a good stitching

Other needs a sense of completion

The purpose of it is still a mystery

That its not worth holding my breath for.

I wish I was a robot with no feelings in my heart,
I wouldn’t worry about comments piercing me like a dart.

Those times when I don’t understand what I feel,
My eyes cloud with tears and my knees kneel.

When my world turns dark and there’s no one around,
The only place my body surrenders is the ground.

All these emotions haunting my spirit to seal,
I have no hope and forget to heal.

I wish I could be strong and have a new start,
I wish I was a robot with no feelings in my heart.

No longer fooled by sweet disguise,
She shields her soul from judging eyes.
For trust, once given, now denied,
Leaves only emptiness inside.

Played Me Twice

I cared—
but you showed me you didn’t.
Twice you hurt me,
played in my face,
toyed with my feelings,
left me broken—
mentally scarred.

You lied,
again and again.
Said you loved me,
said I was pretty,
said you wouldn’t leave,
that we’d last more than a year.
But words were just words—
empty promises,
fading echoes.

Now I don’t believe in love.
I don’t trust.
I don’t do long-term
because of you.
We weren’t even long distance—
same area,
same streets,
almost every day together.

You broke up with me
two days before your birthday.
I had gifts—
but they never made it to you.
I cried every night,
poured my heart out
to friends who couldn’t fix it.

We “got back together”
the night before my cruise,
but we never really did,
did we?
You posted you were single—
and I didn’t even hurt
the same way.

10/10/23—
the first time we broke.
Months of silence,
but every couple weeks,
you’d text,
give me hope,
like maybe,
just maybe
this time would be different.

But it never was.

I still love you—
but I hate you too.
I hope you grow up,
stop playing with hearts
like they’re toys.

I wish you well,
but I hope you remember—
you played me twice.

(The Spark)

Two souls collide, in crowded halls,
Strange, yet somehow,it felt home.
Strangers pass, in their silk shawls,
And just like that, I wrote you in all of my poems.

(The Starting Point)

Twin flames ignite,
Blonde hair, blue eyes.
Over burnt coffee,
Did I get awarded a Trophy?

(Rural Escape)

Bustling crowds,
devoid us of peaceful shrouds.
Empty roads, simplicity calls,
We drive away from the city.

(First Cracks)

Love grows,
our guard blows.
Souls bare,
Chances of a scar,
Oh! So very rare.
But all fate does is wait and stare.

(Boiling point)

Wine-spilled on the rug,
Shards of glass on the oakwood floor.
Why my hands once so snug,did you pull away?
My boat sunk, before it reached to your shore.

(Shattered)

I’m awaken with dread,
Pounding nails in my head.
Lost my home, to love’s cruel claim,
Everything is gone, what a shame.

(kintsugi)

Flames subside,
Pain resides.
A new dawn breaks, A New Hope.
A brand new day.
This poem explores the journey of love, tracing its natural cycle from the first encounter between two strangers to the deep connection they forge. It captures the initial spark, the excitement of shared experiences, and the quiet unraveling that leads to inevitable fractures. As emotions intensify, misunderstandings surface, culminating in heartbreak. However, the poem ultimately embraces the idea of healing and renewal, illustrating how love, though fragile, leaves behind lessons and the strength to move forward.

Her voice was
Chipped away like
An axe
To
A log

I feel like I'm carrying a lot.
No. I know I'm carrying a lot.
I myself can't seem to handle it all,
So is it fair to expect someone else to?
Is it fair to the one that'll claim to love all of me?

I tried it a few times, this love thing
I ended because "I have too much going on" they said.
Yeah I know.
I know this part of me wasn't included in the contract when you signed up
So I let you go without a fuss

Is it fair to put someone where I don't want to be
Is it fair to want someone to be here with
I'm scared for them, I'm scared for me.
But I tired and don't want to be alone anymore
So I tried the casual thing, but it's never casual when it comes to the matters of the heart
How can the already broken be broken.
