Knuffels op de automatische piloot,
Ik-hou-ook-van-jou’s zonder ziel,
Stiltes vol onuitgesproken woorden,
Twee mensen in een huis vol leegte,
Een thuis waar het hart niet meer klopt.

Ooit samen, nu vervreemd,
Twee werelden die elkaar niet raken.
Wanneer hebben we voor het laatst gelachen?
Heb ik je ogen zien stralen als je naar me keek?
Waar zijn die goede jaren gebleven?

Konden we maar terug in de tijd,
Toen liefde nog eenvoudig was,
En ik jou zonder zoeken kon vinden.

Waar ben je gebleven?

Ik zoek,
Maar ik vind je niet.
A Dutch poem about the fading of love.
I sleep with pillow that smells of your hair,

Your scent slowly fades and your warmth is long gone,

All I have now is my mirror's cold stare,

Nights without you stab my heart like a thorn.
Look at my actions, see what I’ve done,
How I wasted my life just for your fun.
A laughable man, a pathetic shadow,
One blade of grass in your vast meadow.

To let you shine, I refused to bloom,
On my own life, I cast certain doom.
Love and loyalty, that’s all I sought,
You said you cared and needed space, I thought.

You kept me close, my fire still burned,
Then you left, became cold, I never turned.
I should’ve known you weren’t my fate,
But that truth arrived far too late.

Now I see clearly, finally free,
You were never really interested in me.
My feelings were toys you’d break to feel whole,
Just to ease the ache inside your soul.

I won’t stop loving, I’ll always care,
But I can’t stay trapped in your snare.
No longer a tool for your selfish need,
You’ll never love me back, now I’m freed.

Enough years waiting, now I’m done,
If you want me back, I’ll be gone.
Enough tears spilled in a cold bed,
I’m no longer the heart you shred.
My life, once so dull,
Now feels immensely full.
My worries are all gone,
We have so much fun at dawn.

My life, once so boring,
Is now soaring.
When I see her, my heart skips a beat,
I feel my body feel with heat.

She fills my life with joy,
And she never treats me like a toy.
I thought I'd never find love,
But she flew into my life like a dove.

She fills my life with peace.
My stress has found its release.
My life has been forever changed by a love so true,
All thanks to you.
Flames sleep within the mountain’s core,
Red, raging, yet restrained.
Silence wraps it like a secret.
But when it breaks…
A dark light appears.
Well by writing dark light I meant the light is too strong that u can't see anything its just metaphor I tried creating on my own.
The heat of summer climbs my head,
It shows the things I’ve always said—
My hopes, my faith, the truth I keep,
The parts of me that run so deep.
But the more I speak, the more they hate,
The world turns cold when you’re too straight.
It’s built on lies, behind a smile,
It fears the truth and shuns the trial.

The rainy season makes me sad,
It makes me miss the life I had.
The little drops that touch my face
Feel soft at first, like calm embrace.
But then the clouds grow dark and near,
And bring back thoughts I hate to hear.
The breeze that once would help me cope,
Now pulls away my thread of hope.

When autumn comes and leaves all fall,
I hear them crack with every call.
Each step I take, each gust of wind,
Feels like her voice comes back again.
The dry leaves swirl, like she’s still close,
A memory I miss the most.
It’s when most hearts begin to ache,
And wrap in care that starts to break.

Winter’s the season I love the best,
It brings my tired mind some rest.
No burning sun, no stormy sky,
No falling leaves or reasons why.
It doesn’t hurt, it doesn’t heal,
It simply makes the world stand still.
It’s just a pause, a quiet place,
To wait for someone’s calm embrace.

I don’t hate winter—cold and slow,
My soul feels safe when it’s all snow.
I wish I lived where snowflakes land,
In a wooden house, not made by hand.
Far from the noise, the rush, the game,
Away from rules that feel the same.
This city’s taken all I knew,
My thoughts, my peace, my point of view.
I feel like someone pulls each string—
And I’ve forgotten how to think.
Do you remember
The last time you ate ice cream without feeling the need to surrender?
The last time you stepped on a scale
Without the number determining whether you pass or fail?

Do you remember
The last time you truly smiled without it feeling dismembered?
The last time you felt true joy and delight
Without you and your face having a fight?

Do you remember
The last time you got mad and didn’t get yelled at for your “temper?”
When were were young and naive
Without the fear of how you’re perceived?

I doubt it.
But now you find any excuse to jump into the pit.
You constantly spiral,
Not thinking about you’re survival.

You were scared of the dark

Scared of loud noises and horror movies 

Scared of the uncontrolled and unexpected

But you were terrified of saying 

"I love you, too"

The dampness
of the rainy season
        is soaking into
My bones
And
Into my being

that night,
i was brewing coffee in my favorite mug,
then began knitting another homemade scarf
while soft songs played in the background.

my mind began to wander—
is this the life i chose,
or one that was chosen for me?
this so-called unhealthy relationship...

i wondered:
is he thinking of me, smiling?
or wearing that same blank expression
he always gave
whenever we had another
boring conversation?

i began to ask myself:
have i wasted my time
on something i never truly liked?
have i wasted my years
on something i’ll always regret?

have i wasted my tears
on something i could never hold or reach?
or worse—
have i given up my soul and freedom
for something that never truly existed?

and yet,
i’m still sitting here
with my coffee,
knitting
another useless scarf
i’ll never wear.
