Blue lights, red lights,
I don't see anymore.
When I close my eyes -
you are with me no more.
Am I lonely for you?
And do you miss me to?

The world has beauty -
we are rather tragic,
like broken royalty.
Tell me where's the magic.

The stars are out.
The lough is loud.
Over the rails is moon,
but I can't miss you.

We' ve had fun,
for a long time.
You know all my secrets,
the story behind my scars.
When parents were loud,
only saw me cry.

The stars are out.
The lough is loud.
Over the rails is moon,
but I can't miss you.

No, I can't miss you.

You are my past.

...

When I close my eyes -
you are with me no more.
I'm alone in the dark,
and you're far - behind those lights.

AMB IV

Our love healed me so completely
It should only makes sense
For it to be the thing
That breaks me so wholly

a truthful poem

I lie
and
I lie
and
I lie

I hide my behavior
to keep you safe.

I keep quiet
not to offend you.

I agree with you
to keep you happy.

I walk on eggshells
for you and
it’s never enough.

I lie
and
I lie
and
I lie

but when the truth
arrives at that
final moment;

jaws will drop
plates will shatter
dogs will growl

and
you’ll be long gone
after seeing what
a ghastly beast
I am

but for now

I lie
and
I lie
and
I lie

to keep us
together.

The Calm Nov 2024

For the love of love

I love the feeling of being in love
More than I love the love itself
Maybe it’s because I’ve always loved people better than they love me
Or perhaps it’s because the heart can feel better than the eyes can see
I love being in love like a little kid waiting for Christmas morning
Or being cozy at home, looking out the window when it’s storming
A soothing feeling, exciting, yet calming.
It’s comforting knowing that nothing can be done to change where I am
And that’s okay cause I don’t want life to be any different than this
To touch the palm of your hand
To feel the electricity in your kiss
And even if the stars never align
In my heart, I am sure to find
A place where I can go to climb
The heights of your love

Sandstorm

I miss you is a pointless exercise
a murmur in the Sahara,
swallowed by endless sands

I can't carve myself into something you'd miss.

I love you is a sandstorm—
turbulent, scorching,
a fury that never seems to settle

I have no idea how to be something you'd love.

And I don't think I want to try
anymore.

I don't want to bend and break
under the weight of
your
sandstorm

compromise

compromise,
separate

take the time
to realize

there's a point
of no return.

there's no reason to

drag this out
and dig yourself
a deeper hole

compromise,
separate

rationalize
and grow.

there's no sense
of urgency

but you need
to know

broken pieces
always shine,

you're not alone
in this anymore.

Butterfly

I love getting butterflies
The first time our lips touched
It felt like everything changed
My mind exploded with excitement
I was fascinated with it
But when I kissed him
It wasn’t the same
It was touch but not butterflies
No build up just a kiss
It wasn’t us anymore
It was a stranger and a stranger
I couldn’t recognise who I was
If my lips were on the mouth
Of someone that didn’t give me that joy
It felt like a betrayal
Even though you decided
Our lips could never touch again

Healing

The Heights

I think he was right
When I said I wanted to stand on the roof,
he said he'd push me off.
Then he smiled.
I guess that’s funny.
What do I know?

Does that translate to "**** myself?"

It’s been years.
I should be over it.
But I still run from anyone
who tries to get close.
It’s been years,
and I genuinely hope
he’s happy with her.

I just wish I understood why—
he hated me so much,
when I gave my all,
trying my best
amidst the chaos.

It was all my fault

I just wish I understood why—
Did he have to toy with me
when I expressed my fear of falling?
Why couldn’t I walk away

Maybe I was just that desperate
for connection
How utterly pathetic

It’s been years.
Why am I still trash,
causing problems—
everywhere I go?

And I don’t know.
From time to time,
That moment haunts me
Is that why I fear the heights?
Or have I always feared the fall?

I know
I’ve earned the pain.
It's all my fault
Maybe one day,
I’ll learn not to fear the heights anymore
and perhaps then,
I’ll be able to fall...

Well, you know...
We’ll see.

Maybe I'll smile

Nostalgia Nov 2024

A wolf in sheep’s clothing.

Would you still like me if I was a lie?
Would you back into a corner?
I cling onto the corner of the walls, I push myself away.
I am scared.
Will my sharp claws and fangs sink into your skin?
I don’t want to hurt you.
But god am I just so..
hungry.

The pit in my stomach has never been so empty.
