I kiss the wounds you left behind

Because at least these scars

Would never leave me
tacenda is what I feel about you
it's better left unfinished
what could've been
is not important
we were never meant to be
like I imagined
my feelings are damaged
tacenda
tacenda: things better left unsaid; matters to be passed over in silence

If I am not rage, then what am I?

I tried love, trust, patience, empathy

They were accepted out of courtesy

But discarded like an inconvenience

If I am not anger, then what am I?

I tried so very hard, so much time

Just to receive little effort and no time

Just to be abandoned and misled

If I am not anger, nor am I rage itself

Then I am the pain you gave to me
I dismembered myself
trying to find
which parts aren't loveable
which parts made everyone leave

dear you,

i fear i don’t know who i am anymore.
when i ask myself those very words, “who am i”, your name gets echoed through my bones like it’s mine too.
you’re no longer mine,
it seems my heart
and whatever’s left of my soul
refuses to accept it.

my soul keeps me half awake at night
still awaiting your call.
just awake enough to notice
if my screen lights up.

and my heart,
broken as ever,
holds on to the hope
that someday
you’ll want me again.

i think that hope
is what keeps it beating
and is why it’s not shattered
into fragments of
what we once were
what we weren’t
and everything we’ll never be.
he’s finally admitted he doesn’t want me anymore

Will you ever let me love you?
My angel arrow, my fire fuel
Will you ever love me?
Was I such a fool?

You look into my eyes
You see a blinding light
I look into your eyes
I see a pitch-black night

Unrequited, allocated to your hundreds of friends
Obsessive, impressive; your love just pretends
I wait for this fate that brings you back to me
And I wait almost eternally

You build me up; you bring me down
And you somehow blame it on me?
I've made the door and its lock
And yet you've thrown away the key

But I'm alright, I'm okay
I sit on these steps and wait for you
But I'm obsessive, I'm crazy
And I wish it wasn't over you
silver springs

You stood beneath the station light,
the kind that softens into blue.
Your hair was damp from rising rain,
your hands unsure of what to do.

I watched you move but not let go,
a breath away, yet far from home.
There’s something cruel in parting slow—
we lost the words, we left alone.

The train exhaled, the silence stayed,
You turned your face, but you never waved
froM HeaRt and hand

The love I had for you

Made the Gods jealous

But the pain you gave me

Made the Devil laugh
One little astronaut build a spaceship  of junkyard parts and wielded up the mountainside and tried to get the thing to fly looking through his telescope of cardboard and a paper hole and hoping soon to fly even though he hasn't even lived
But the ship was build real bad and rolled down the mountain slideing down the mountainside landing into the ocean's tide  
But the pilot had to face I'm floating in outer space I'm further than I was before heading to the ocean floor now I'm in the furthest place possible from outer space and the one I love I guess it's a poetic way to die ironic I can't even cry I'm surrounded by salt water so why even bother trying to fall in love with you feels like getting hit in the back of the neck with the wiffle bat full of stars and I got scars to prove it under my hands and over My heart
A part of me believes you are the one—
my soul’s mirror, cursed and divine,
etched in blood and stardust,
a love whispered through the walls of time,
too raw to name, too wild to hold.

We are the story others wish they lived,
a tale soaked in passion,
burning at both ends.
But god—
there are nights when silence swallows me whole.
When your eyes
aren’t windows anymore,
just locked doors I’ve forgotten how to open.

And I wonder—
are we fated...
or just fools,
chained together by fire and illusion?

You’ve cracked the bones of my trust—
not enough to make me leave,
but enough that I bleed
in places you never see.
Your sins aren’t monstrous.
But they linger—
like ghosts in our bed,
curling under sheets,
whispering doubts into my dreams.

We are imperfect, yes.
But isn’t love supposed to be sanctuary?
Why then,
do I feel like a prisoner
in the arms that once set me free?

I ask the moon if maybe I’m just scared—
scared I won’t find another love
this devastatingly beautiful,
this cruelly perfect.

Because when it’s good—
it’s heaven,
dressed in skin and breath.
But when it’s bad—
you are a stranger
I never meant to love.

And it’s the early mornings that **** me.
When your arms wrap around me
like ivy on a crumbling chapel,
your kisses whisper “I love you”
in a language older than words—
and I want to believe.
I do.
But the ache doesn’t sleep.

It claws at me in the dark.
And some nights...
some nights I dream of betrayal.
Not out of desire—
but revenge.
To make you feel the fracture.
To let you wear my ache
like perfume.

A sin to mirror yours—
soft, quiet, almost poetic.

I know I should forgive.
I know healing asks for time.
But part of me is still
dragging broken glass
through the cathedral of my heart,
searching for the trust you shattered.

And a part of me—
a part of me wants to stay
for a thousand lifetimes.

But a part of me?
A part of me runs
in every dream
where you’re not holding me.
